So it is likely that the disc will have that full 2020 gamut as well, whether or not it has DV on disc. But that's just my assumption, or hope that this will be the first UHD BD we get with full 2020 color.

Hopefully someone will get a gander at the metadata of the disc to see where the colour primaries are at.

Hardly hyperbole for people to expect a native 4k,from a format that has 4k in big type on the top of every disc box.

True there is a visual upgrade of sorts,but in fairness even most reviews seem to say it's the HDR element on a lot of 4K Blu-ray releases that offer the most noticible difference.

An upscled 4K release is exactly what it is,an upgrade but not what we are being promised by the format.

BD-66 according to Warner Bros Korea.

Because 4K Blu-ray is much more than just the resolution. There is HDR and WCG. Even if The LEGO Batman Movie is an upscale, it will benefit so much from HDR and WCG.

I believe with a proper home theater setup, the difference between Blu-ray and UHD BD will be night and day. And your eyes will bleed.

Quick question, does Warner Bros 4K release come with Slipcovers?

I am torn between getting this or the 3D Blu-ray. Or I might get both.

All of their 4K releases have come with slips so far. Even ones that didn't have them on BD like Central Intelligence.

Thanks for the info.
Was it just an ordinary slipcover​ or something fancy like the lenticular ones for 3D?

All of them are glossy.

And I gave in. Ordered both 3D and 4K Blu-ray. Hopefully I can sell off the extra copy of the 2D disc.

Just learned that VUDU UHD 4K is in Dolby Vision and Atmos.

Ugh! No signs of this in Dolby Vision know UHD BD.

Yeah. That's where I learned about VUDU UHD with Dolby Vision.

As long as Iron Man sucks in 4K, I'm good.

[BozQ]

Hmm. Unless you're willing to wait till August for the Japanese release, then I'd say go for the US versions.

Or by some sheer miracle, the Japanese version has Dolby Vision... I know. Fat Chance.

Exactly. Render times for CG are very long. It would be very expensive and double the production time if they had to create and render a 4K animated film. (as computing power gets faster, that should change eventually)

Furthermore, for the same reason as animation, VFX for movies are also rendered at 2K. Even movies that were filmed in 4K will include 2K-upscaled VFX. (i.e. The Martian 4K) I think one of the few recent films to have 4K footage AND 4K VFX was the Tom Hank's film "Sully". The VFX was mainly for the airplane crash scene, while the rest of the film had minimal VFX. A movie like Avengers, which has VFX is almost every shot, would have to use 2K VFX in order to have the VFX rendered in time for the film's release.

Technically, if the VFX kept all thier project files in order, they could re-render all the VFX out at 4K for a future release, but the production cost of that may not be worth it. (for the slight sharpness that native 4K VFX would give to upscaled 2K VFX)

Update: Has anyone tried ordering the UHD from Walmart? Does it have Instawatch?

Ordered the 4K version from Walmart.com and received HDX Instawatch. Was hoping for UHD copy, but oh well.

This is exciting:
