It needs to include the television cut that was shown in Southern Italy only once that includes a couple of alternate shots of Brandon Routh in his rooftop conversation with Kate Bosworth that look almost the same but not quite, or I'm not buying.

I need my collection to be complete.

Predators looked freakin great. Should be must watch material for folks who aren't convinced these aren't worth a 4K release.

And yet All Star Superman is getting a 4K Upscaling/Remaster. But not Returns lol wow it’s kinda bull bull. It has to be the Spacey/Singer controversies. Those saying it was shot in lowbit 2K and you can’t get anymore out of it. I respectfully disagree. I’m just using Topaz Video Enhance Ai Upscaling Software to upscale it to 4K and don’t get me wrong it’s not
Studio/Professional level looking but it improves it immensely!

Many films finished at 2K have been released on 4K UHD. You're right, it has nothing to do with that.

Oh geez, that does kind of make it feel even worse. But hey, another one slated for April 18. Makes me wonder what else might be announced to release that day to mark the occasion (April 18 1938 recognized as the copyright date for Action Comics 1).

Thankfully most studios don't use that hideous AI shite

starmike · 02-02-2023, 05:35 PM

Is there any AI upscaling that works? And how much better is it than simply playing 1080p on a 4K? I've seen some upscale samples that were clearly upscales and looked awful.

I thought Cloverfield was also an appreciable upgrade.

Don't worry - once it is officially announced, we can start with the "Where should I pre-order?" posts. Then the "Pre-ordered!" posts.

Maybe even throw in some UK peeps with their "I got hit with customs charges and I'm angry" posts.

Can't wait.

And....if there's individual releases....the great slipcover discussion. Dont' leave that out.

Hey-nothing is gonna top the "where is the original Superman The Movie 1978 2.0 Dolby audio track?" posts.

That was the mother of all such posts way back then(2006).

Amiibro121 · 02-03-2023, 12:34 AM

I really hope they do individual releases, knowing warner, they aren't gonna include blu rays so the 4k discs will be very barebones like the mad max and rocky collections.

Same here.

I just want Superman 1 and 2 (including Donner Cut).

TWIN-FR · 02-03-2023, 06:46 AM

I won't buy if the set doesn't include the new unreleased Superman: Legacy movie.

Ok I'm out!
