    Is this information documented somewhere? I'd like to read more about what Universal Monster film elements remain and how they were restored and remastered.

    Universal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror Collection Volume 2 (4k UHD)

    Is the "original 1931 film" the same thing as the original camera negative? And why were double-dupes used for the flashbacks?

    Were the registration problems corrected in the 4K mastering of The Phantom of The Opera?

    RAH, would you please elaborate on how the addition of HDR impacts the first two films? Do you feel like HDR adds to the 4k viewing experience?

    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    Red Letter Media does an excellent job with its reviews and criticism. Their approach might not be for you, but their criticisms are usually spot-on.

    UHD Why I’m looking forward to a HDR release of the Godfather Movies

    Since The Godfather is now "newly restored and remastered in Dolby Vision" and to be released with HDR-10 on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, I assume the viewing experience should somehow be different. Will HDR change the original intended look of the film?

    Unopened Blu-Rays I want to upgrade to UHD discs.

    If I hadn't opened those discs yet, there would be a good chance I wasn't all that enthusiastic about watching them in the first place. Therefore, I would conclude the effort and expense to replace them wouldn't be worth the marginally enhanced experience of watching them in 4K.

    Press Release USHE Press Release: Universal Classic Monsters Icons of Horror Collection (4k UHD)

    I'm waiting on the delivery of the 4k set today, so I haven't been able to directly compare the BDs vs UHDs. I do own the iTunes 4K versions of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man. On my setup, there wasn't a big distinction between the streaming 4k ones and Blu-ray versions. So, maybe holding...

    Press Release USHE Press Release: Universal Classic Monsters Icons of Horror Collection (4k UHD)

    I'm not understanding what you mean. Are you just talking about Blu-rays? There was an 8-film Essential set, the 5 Legacy sets that focused on the Individual characters (with the exception of the "Phantom of the Opera"), and then there was a 30-film Complete set. The only extra 3D film was...

    It is not. However, it somewhat approximates the difference between the two clips.

    What is the consensus on the new Blu-ray? Here's a comparison of a scene on the 2018 Blu-ray vs the 2007 Blu-ray? Does the new Blu-ray look less sharp?

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    If I'm not mistaken, the 4K UHD disc of WB's biggest selling film, The Dark Knight, was announced on November 18, 2017, only a month before its release date on December 19, 2017.

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    This is a confirmed release as evidenced by Warner Bros Germany. It will be released on May 24, 2018. What is unknown is whether the standalone Blu-ray will be an upgrade. It's unlikely there will be any additional features added; the British Film Classification Board has not rated any new...

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    In case anyone is wondering, these are the top pre-1970 collected WB titles in Blu-ray.com's database. And those multiple instances of Wizard of Oz still don't add up to as many collected copies of 2001. BTW, who knew "Cool Hand Luke" was so popular? 2001: A Space Odyssey North by Northwest...

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    Y'all may not be aware of this, but 2001 is probably WB's biggest collected pre-1970 film. The studio number crunchers likely understand its significance to collectors and importance in promoting the future of their 4K back catalog. WB should want to do it right.

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    Retail sources have begun telling us that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is preparing to release a 4K Ultra HD version of director Stanley Kubrick’s landmark science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is something we’ve actually known was coming for a few months now, having heard it off...

    2001: A Space Odyssey is a 4K/UHD Release possible?

    It's 2018. Does anyone know if we'll see a 50th-anniversary restoration? In general, I HATE those oversized WB boxes (Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Wizard of Oz, etc.), but I would throw a bucket of money at them if they made a special presentation package for this film.

    Blu-ray Review The Rockford Files: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review

    Here are some screenshots. They're not exactly the same, but they'll work for comparison purposes. The HD images are pillarboxed. In the second set of images, Garner's face seems more saturated, yet softer in the Blu-ray. In motion, the Blu-ray looks better than the DVD, but there's something...
