If there is pressing error that’s caused by metal oxidation then yes. I’ve had CDs that used to play OK for many years, then I played it again several years later and the disc is totally can’t be recognized by the player (a different but newer player)

My replacement has arrived.

Same issue, freezes at 58:05 on LG UP870.

I thought since we have the same player maybe that could be it. I've checked the firmware and it's up to date so i don't know. When I first put the disc in the player it took a while for the menu to show up. And when it did all that was on screen was the options at the bottom with a black screen.

I found that odd as well. I'm not sure if the menu screen is supposed to be black or not.

Anyway, recent reviews on Amazon are saying that the disc won't even start on some Samsung and Sony players, just a black screen.

The 4K will not load on my samsung

oh well, ill sit here in the dark and wait for Casino 4K

I'm having the same issues with the 4K disc on a Panasonic 820 (latest firmware), with a recent Amazon purchase.

I wonder if there was bad batch of discs or something.

Weirded Wonder · 07-21-2019, 09:26 PM

No problem playing it on my Xbox. Just checked.

Old.

Old disc here, seems to load fine on my OPPO 203. As an aside: I didn't realise this came with the theatrical 5.1 mix as well as DTS:X. Verr naice.

BluFan24 · 07-23-2019, 05:16 AM

Got my replacement copy today and it stops at the 58:05 mark. It's like there's no information after that point. I chapter skipped all the way to the end. I even went thru the scene selections and nothing after chapter 9 works.

The numbers on the bar code's are the same. 0 31398 26447 7

I have seen this 4K multiple times and have never encountered any issues. Maybe it's the LG player that's causing the issue.

I recently ordered this as part of the prime days sale, and I am having the exact same issue. Wouldn't load and when it did it stops at that same mark. Chapter skip does nothing, can agree with feeling like there's no further information on the disc. Got a replacement copy today and it also has the defect. Using a Sony x800m2.

BluFan24 · 07-23-2019, 08:24 AM

Must be a bad production run of these. I'm sending both back to Amazon.

cmersits · 07-23-2019, 11:29 PM

Checking the recent reviews on Amazon and it appears there are a bunch more people with the same issue. Definitely appears to be a bad batch of discs.

werewuf · 07-24-2019, 04:56 PM

I got 2 discs from Amazon (original buy and replacement) both stopped at 58:05. I have an Oppo 203, and have had the same experience that others have listed here. It's like there is nothing on the disc after 58:05. I took my disc and player to Oppo in Menlo Park, and we played the disc on multiple players and it does the same thing. Tony the tech I consulted with said it must be a bad batch of discs.....

neo_reloaded · 07-24-2019, 07:01 PM

If you use the Chapter Select from the main menu to skip directly to a post-58:05 chapter, I assume it freezes as well? For example, going directly to the final chapter that should contain the credits.

Looking at the bottom of the disc, can you see the two different circular barcodes towards the center, indicating the two layers of the disc that should be there? If absolutely nothing on the latter half of the movie is accessible, it almost seems like the entire second layer is defective/missing.

trekky76 · 07-24-2019, 07:58 PM

Is this an issue with reprinted discs? I never heard any complain when it was initially released which was a while ago. My copy played just fine.

Same. I actually watched this the other night (damn fine looking disc, btw) and had no issues. Haven't had any issues since its release.

evoll · 07-25-2019, 05:58 PM

Checked my 4k disc last night on both my oppo 203 and ub820 and had no problems with it playing all the way through.
