It looks great, but the 4K disc will look better than the 4K digital so I'm buying it. Furthermore, I want to support Paramount and other studios releasing classic movies onto 4K discs.
That's the problem with that Blu-ray. They released it from an older HD scan that should have been released more than a decade ago. It's mediocre compared to Blu-rays being released today with new scans.
I disagree with those that are saying "The Sons of Katie Elder" Blu-ray being an abomination. It's mediocre and should have been much better looking, but I've seen a lot worse on Blu-ray than it.
Yep, as Mark stated, Paramount has been re-releasing many of their catalog titles in waves over the last couple of years. Another wave of titles is coming on March 6th.
I'm not trying to be difficult here, but I won't look at your posted images as I'm very happy with this BD so I see no need to try looking for problems that I couldn't see beforehand. I guess, ignorance is bless.:)
They're not, they're just trying to make a movie that appeals to today's audiences. I'm not interested in this remake, but a younger audience might be.

Today, I'm going to sit down and watch this Region A BD release and compare it to the German Region B BD release I bought over three years ago. I've already placed the two discs from the 2009 Centennial DVD release into this Region A BD case for the bonus material that wasn't ported over and...
Apparently, several Paramount titles distributed by Warner had some kind of supply chain issue that has affected available inventories across the market place. Purely speculation on my part, but I think there might have been a manufacturing downtime problem at the Blu-ray replication plant.
The only thing I've found out is that it just isn't Amazon having difficulty getting this disc. Perhaps there is a distribution or manufacturing problem.
