The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) 4K UHD

[d514]

There's been no official announcement by Lionsgate but amazon.ca lists a 4K + Blu-ray + Digital Copy combo pack of Mockingjay 2:

Did they make a mistake or did they just list it too early?

With the massive banding Mochkingjay 1 had on Blu-ray this could be a great improvement.

Lionsgate is known for banding. A 4K version should help hide their issues.

The whole scene where they blow up the dam has some of the worse banding i've seen from a bluray.

Lionsgate is going full speed ahead with UHD blu-ray, so it would surprise me far more if they didn't release this.

I think the bit when they're dropping into the tribute centre to rescue Peeta is even worse, those shots of the dark Capitol sky are absolutely horrendous. Lionsgate are soooo bad at this Blu-ray lark that I'm not convinced that UHD will be able to help them, not unless they can hire compressionists who know their arse from their elbow.

Yeah that's the part i meant. The red flashlights had them too. I thought something was wrong with my TV.

You're not the only one, there's an LG OLED thread going crazy right now at the AVF because of how awful the banding is on that movie (they initially thought it was the TV, OLEDs not being great for banding especially at near black, until my Blu-ray review steered them around again).

There was a post here a minute ago showing comparisons from different regions. Don't why it got deleted.

The Japanese bluray seems to have gotten the better encode-

Think I'll keep my distance from Lionsgate after their launch BDs went belly up.

I pre-ordered this from Amazon Canada before Christmas.

I just checked my order. It's now showing a release date of March 17th.

EDIT: whoops.. I guess I'm a little slow. I see d514 already posted this.

Seems like Amazon Canada retracted on this release. Now showing 'Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock'.

Jennifer Lawrence actress in "American Hustle" is best picture awards!! The movie was 4K master shot filmed. I hope in future UltraHD 4K.

Anymore news on this?

Since it's not coming out day/date with the BD, I would say it's future is uncertain. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole series got the UHD treatment someday (just like 007), but who knows when that might be? At least we get a Dolby Atmos soundtrack on the BD (which is more than you can say for some of the initial UHD releases).

I'll pass on this, the 2nd book was 400 pages and a good 2nd film was made. The 3rd book again was 400 pages and Hollywood in a cash grab decided to draw out the story to 2 films and 4 hours and 22 minutes. This would have made a much better 2 1/2 hour movie one shot movie.

Any news on whether this is still coming out on UHD?

Trying to decide on whether to buy this on Blu-ray. I'd rather buy it on UHD.

Not sure why Lionsgate wouldn't release one of their top tier titles on 4K UHD.

[aerandir92]

I suspect they are planning some special release with all the 4 movies in UHD. And naturally people would be more inclined to buy that one if they haven't already bought Part 2 separately.
Still a bit weird though, but then again, they might have started fixing the first movie a while ago, and are just doing them in order from there.

[marine92104]

I can't imagine what a UHD boxset would cost. I hope they release them separately.

I really want the last one on UHD & I feel like it's a missed opportunity for Lionsgate.

[Falaskan]

I hope it uses the cover that the standalone bluray uses
