Well that’s surprising, and awesome!

For some reason Target shipped my movies separately and they’ll be arriving 5 days apart, but luckily they at least sent 21 first. Would hate to have to sit on 22 for a week while waiting for the first movie to arrive.

To whom it may concern, whether you're using the codes for yourself or for your buyers:

THE CODES ARE NOT REDEEMING UHD IN VUDU, they only redeem HDX in Vudu.

Use MA or FandangoNow (FN) for a UHD redeem.

This may change, it's an error and Vudu will probably correct it, but for right now do not use Vudu to redeem.

Love it when studios re-add extra bonus features to their 4K release that were previously a retail exclusive disc. Can't recall how many other 4Ks got this treatment, but I do remember Paramount adding the Best Buy bonus disc and Target bonus disc to their Mission Impossible 3 and 5 4Ks in the US. There's probably more that I can't recall at the moment.

Just redeem through Movies Anywhere, it will grant 4K rights to the respective sites you have linked. (iTunes, Fandango Now, Vudu etc...)

When the respective sites get the UHD, they WILL update.

That's what I said in the post, use MA. But the point is that most people (i.e. buyers in the trade thread) default to Vudu. And get a nasty surprise if there is a glitch like this.

Same! And honestly, for me, it’s all about condensing down my collection. That’s why Disney is so frustrating to me in this department lol. Like, if I want everything on-disc for Beauty and the Beast, as well as the best looking format, I need the 4K disc, the Signature Blu-ray, the Diamond Blu-ray, and the Platinum DVDs. They couldn’t even get the Muppet releases right (like how they couldn’t have even thrown the “Pepe’s Profile Presents Fozzie Bear” feature onto the Blu-ray). Fortunately with smaller releases like the Muppets, it’s easier to make “custom combo packs”.
Star Wars is extremely guilty of this too lol.

They did it with Star Trek Into Darkness and Beyond 4K sets, I think, put the Target bonuses on them.

I wasn't planning to get these yet, but I saw them at WM and decided I might as well. But yet Target didn't have them. Weird how stores will have one thing and not the other and you go somewhere else and it's the opposite selection.

Negative Format 35 mm (Kodak)
Codex
Cinematographic Process ARRIRAW (2.8K) (source format)
Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format)
Super 35 (source format) (high-speed shots)

Definitely looks like upscales to me. There's not as much of a huge improvement on detail, but the HDR and sound are pretty great improvements for sure. I suspect similar results with Whiplash coming out next week.

Got my copies from Target but have yet to try them out.

BB steelbook came in!!

I enjoy both movies equally but as far as pic quality 22 looks much better than 21, which was a bit soft.

I also found the color a bit muted on 21, 22 is definitely the better looking of the two. Love both movies equally though, they always get me to laugh no matter how many times I’ve seen them.

Edit: and the Goonies does look great to me as well

I watched 21 last night and I really have nothing to say about the PQ. There's something weird that happens to me when I watch these types of comedies where I just have no desire, or maybe even capability, to critically think about PQ. Same thing happened to me with Baywatch and Step Brothers. It's not even that I'm laughing or having too much fun to notice visual details. I simply do not care. Wish I had something useful to post, but I don't!

Any sign of the ludicrous pop-up over the end credits that Sony used on the Mask of Zorro?

Didn't watch these yet but be will be paying attention since I hated this as well. Whiplash was fine. (I actually might have missed it, since I was getting the BD ready during the end credits, but I don't think so.)


re. the Jump Streets: I've never seen these, so buying the 4Ks was a no brainer, but I'd love to hear some other thoughts on the second one, since I for one don't like the look of it.

The 4K of 22 has a rather harsh, unpleasant look IMO. For one thing, it looks slightly sharpened to me (it's the subtle type I might not notice on the projector at all due to it slightly softening the image, but on the monitor it looks unnaturally sharp to me*) and for another thing, I don't like the colours - in combination, and for lack of a better word, it looks unpleasant to me. The BD has a warmer, more pleasant look and I prefer it for now. Mind you that I didn't take a "proper" look, that's just my first general impression with 22. The first one looks nice to me and I didn't get such an impression/didn't feel the need to also take a look at the BD. I didn't compare any of the two properly though.

* I'm NOT saying there isn't more actual detail as well mind you (there actually is I think).

EDIT: Here's just one example to hopefully show what I'm babbling about (at least re. the warmer look of the BD and ignore the darkness of the 4K cap of course):

BD | UHD

This has been fixed, by the way, both codes redeem UHD in Vudu.

It's there on both 21 and 22.

Yup, have to confirm it with both as well.


I also just double checked Whiplash and that one remains fine - no such bs with that one.

Probably the most intriguing thing is the appearance of cult, oldschool YTer Dax Flame. He's one of those people like Will Ferrell who you can never really tell when they're out of character.
