GoodFellas 4K UHD (1990)

[Geoff D]

This should be a good test of how much spatial resolution the 4K version carries over versus the 2K. People talk about how film is capable of however many K's, but what it can do under the utmost optimal conditions and what is actually captured are two very different things, especially for a 1.85 show like this which was very likely shot on one of Kodak's faster emulsions of the time. So it'll be interesting to see just how much (or how little) extra res is gained from the 4K transfer alone.

Does anyone know if the 4K of Goodfellas will redeem uhd in vudu? Is it a movie studio that typically does redeem in uhd

It comes with the ultraviolet code which transfers to VUDU so you should be good.

I've BD remastered from 4K. But 4K source in Blu-ray.
UltraHD 4K is real and full 4K.

Speaking of Goodfellas, does anyone remember this:

I'm so excited to get Goodfellas on UHD. Hopefully it is a pretty good improvement on the current blu-ray. This will be my 5th time buying Goodfellas on physical media lol.

Now we just need a UHD release of Scarface!

Too bad the cover does not say if the disk is BD-66 or BD-100.

But the blu-ray.com listing says 100.

This release is definitely going to have one of the most highly anticipated reviews. Also really curious how the first two Bourne movies will turn out (particularly Identity).

I'll definitely be reading closely the reviews and reactions to this one. The reactions to Ghostbusters, ID4 and some others have me deeply skeptical of UHD's improvements on old 35mm films.

ID4 looks amazing in HDR for such an old film. ghostbusters not so much.

It makes remember this post by John Schuerman back in 2014 (who was a consultant for Panamorph at the time).

BTW, one of the things we are discovering is that 35mm film really does not support much in the way of visible picture detail at scans much above 2K, especially if the original was shot Super 35mm (4K scans are likely overkill). Scope films shot anamorphically, on the other hand, do have a bit more visible (and therefore usable) resolution.

With Ghostbusters, it didn't even sound as if there was much is any appreciable difference in color between the BD and UHD BD.

I'll be passing. Mainly because I have BD and watch on a 1080p projector that does not do 4k. Will prob pick up when 4k projectors become the norm. From my reading, 4k on anything less than 80" is snake oil...
