This kind of free pass reviewism only hurts the format.
If you don’t have the guts to call it a fail and give the image a 0 or 1 then you’re just encouraging more mediocre DNR disaster transfers.
It’s sad to see supposed home theater aficionados say it looks good.
This crap might be fine for...
FRENZY is great. Far from his worst. Love Jon Finch, sadly they always give Barry Foster cover art duties
One thing that occurred to me as the movie progressed was how little film grain I was seeing esp the night scenes.
I’m not saying there was poor DNR - but I expected some more grain...
I’ve never seen NBK, I think I’ve seen some scenes from it… but I love Robert Richardson’s work. In fact I love his other Stone film U-Turn.
The cinematography there and the way they used the developing process, I’d love to see it on 4K. With SONY and their completely random back catalog 4K...
Whats crazy is the LionsGate / Studio Canal Blu editions were fried. Blown out whites. It was insane how bad those discs looked. It made the Criterion BLU even better looking.
So I’m very curious what the upcoming 4K UHDs will be like. I’m a bit worried. But fingers crossed.
the 2.0 turns out to be a 2.0 Stereo Track and NOT 2.0 Mono - not sure if it’s just a downmix of the 5.1 or maybe the same 2.0 Dolby stereo from the final laserdisc release.
Really wished we got the original Mono audio.
Image quality looks good, but cause I have teal PTSD from so many releases...
Whats even more odd is that there was already a blu-ray release in Japan that contained a Dolby Atmos track.
Another blu-ray release for Chicago was pointless. Love to have 4Ks for it along with another Miramax film that I believe is under Paramount - The Hours - which hasn’t been given a...
Paramount 4Ks & Blus in the last year are just awful.
If it happens to be a Paramount film released by say KINO generally those are fine… it’s almost as if KINO samples some of these and passes on them cause the 4K transfers are so bad and only acquire those that look good. For instance KINO’s...
There was a Japan Blu release several years back that had a Dolby Atmos track. Just so odd they would pass up on an anniversary release with yet another blu edition. Next time I buy it will be on 4K or nothing.
I don't know but I haven't seen them listed on amazon in a long time. So I assumed they were OOP and Ebay... it's like good luck. so I decided to hold off.. glad I did if we are truly getting the series on Blu-Ray
Those single sided DVDs were not out very long at all!! They are very very hard to find IMO
The sets were selling at high prices when released and I got the S1&2 Set single sided but then waited for possible price drops and then they were OOP in no time.
I will only rebuy at this point if...
If they are still or recently completed HD versions of the series… crazy they have been or are already available on streaming… or are those older masters
I hope they didn’t do all the work just for streaming. i want BluRays!!!!
Another person reported the freeze / glitch around the same spot over at blu-ray.com
His model player Magnavox - MBP6700P
He mentioned his disc was from the steelbook but all the other instances I’ve read seem to be from the standard case version. So I don’t think the case has anything to do...
Yep, did the whole wiping off of complete mint looking brand new disc. all the latest firmware etc.
This is clearly an issue that sadly occurs across multiple models of 4K players.
New report of freezing error on player model LG UP870
I think many passed up on the steelbook, no one really liked either artwork haha but since the discs are all freezing around that same time stop, it is for sure a real issue.
Hopefully WB will look into it and offer disc replacements. I...
If anyone has their disc freeze around approx 13:52-13:52, please post along with model 4K player.
Oppo UDP 205 here
I’ve went thru 3 4Ks both froze around that time stamp.
Another person stated their disc on oppo 203 didn’t freeze when they watched it first time but did the second time they...
He didn’t mention Dallas or Knots but that was my wishful thinking….
I think there was talk of I thinkBabylon 5? (I get some of those SciFi shows confused. But no real mentions of anything 100% for sure.
Others may recall better
I wonder if George Feltenstein had anything to do with the POLTERGEIST 4K getting the original Stereo track … if so THANKS!
Really love audio upgrades when possible but really appreciate original theatrical audio provided on 4Ks and Blus. I’d prefer it to bonus material if I had to give up one...
