Good lord I PO'd a lot of movies today lol. 8/13 is going to be quite the day.

Since Disney now owns this stuff, I wonder if the audio tracks are going to be cranked down like all their other releases.

[RoyHobbs9]

Yeah Baby! I would have thought that this would have been released on 4K a lot sooner. The wait is finally over.

Wanting to sell off my original bluray, but not until the special features are clarified..

Just like the Disney IRON MAN 2 blu, the 4K won’t have any of the extras from the special features blu from the old 2 disc blu-day. IRON MAN will be the same.

Received mine today. Did some quick comparisons with the BD. This one is a little more interesting than Iron Man, imo.

First, I'm not an expert, but it appears there is light use of DNR. The grain on BD is more visible at all times, however, the UHD still has grain, just less of it, sometimes a lot less, but never absolutely gone. I'll admit that in comparison to the BD, the UHD can look more digital, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, and sometimes not at all. The perceived resolution looks sharper than BD, but smoother because of the DNR. Also, noticed a little black crush.

I think HDR use is excellent. Virtually every scene makes use and improves upon BD. The BD looks blown out and flat in comparison. The improvement from HDR far outweights the DNR effect imo. There are 'wow' moments in comparison to the BD and in general. Also, the color is bolder, specifically blues and dark greens.


Like IM1, the Atmos soundtrack is slight improvement. Again 4db quieter.

For me it easily retires the BD, but there will be moments where I'll think something looks a little off. Someone else may enjoy the look and think its perfect.

That kinda sounds like the German disc until you say it easily retires the BD lol

[avs commenter]

Curious to hear peoples thoughts on the audio as the BD was reference

I haven't seen the German disc, but the HDR alone is so great that it overcomes the DNR for me. Add the improved color and Atmos, and I'm not going back to BD.

[ROSS.T.G.]

Yikes. Disney is loving that DNR button lately.

Unfortunately the cover designers have to adhere to the terribly uninspired design direction that Disney has ordered for it’s film re-issues. A designer with creative control could make some wonderful box art, but alas we get these D-tier covers that any poor soul could make in adobe in 5 minutes. At least the Steelbooks look acceptable enough, unfortunately they are of limited quantity.

I first thought that, but they look great together.

All this grain reduction sounds like what Universal did on their early UHD releases.

I don't think it's really the same thing. So far, it doesn't appear to have resulted in less detail for these movies despite how film grain is often married with picture detail.

There is a tendency here to make kneejerk reactions to any use of DNR and I understand that since it has made many films in the past look bad through their BD or even UHD releases. But I have yet to see the negative results with the Marvel Studio releases aside from people's personal preference of just not wanting to see a single percentage of its application.

It's used on every Sony title and they (bar cliffhanger) all look better than the Cap set.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. What I'm saying is that the application of DNR on the Marvel UHDs thus far hasn't resulted in any video quality deficiencies compared to their BD counterparts.
