Its head scratching that they would reauthor the disc at all just to remove the 5.1 for that horrible 2.0 track. See now if that alleged new transfer was here instead of being vaporware, I'd understand. But no. So now its all a waste of time.

It is the same transfer right? With the added orange flash after Reeve's name disappears in the credits?

Still better than Man of Steel...

Well I haven't heard the new Atmos mix, but I will point out Superman II has always had pitch issues due to its awful ADR work (Terrence Stamp sounds like he has laryngitis for most of the film except when its Donner footage). Now some guy on the other forum is claiming Superman IV was taken...

Initial reports are now coming in. A. Superman I is the same transfer now minus 70mm 5.1. Long story short, If you don't have that old release, you better buy it quick. Gonna be scalped faster than the Roanoke colony. B. Donner Cut II is indeed an upscale. And a bad one at that because the...

Sooo the itunes just used the 5.1 off of the blu-ray then? Anyway if the logo is mute on the UHD then the point is moot (lol).

Of course its different. Those numerous other movies actually had money spent on their post production as opposed to the lazy slopjob full of various mpeg artifacts that is Donner II.

Surprising noone, Donner Cut II is mostly an upscale according to those who have seen the version on Youtube.

Could it possibly be the album take?

Well my handy dandy liner notes* here... says that 3M3 is an England track. HOWEVER its bookended by Munich recordings. Very odd. *(which are still holding up despite the binding glue being on its last legs)

How much did they rerecord Neil? I'm reading the liner notes and most of the Munich tracks still appear to be there.

This is flat out bizarre. Is it possible Warner found some sort of early six-track scratch mix done before Golan Globus scuttled the idea of a blowup of IV and remastered that? To the best of my knowledge, the only reason IV has remained 2.0 surround on the past few go arrounds was Cannon...

Its Dolby Surround, however it is one of the absolute WORST Dolby Surround mixes you will ever hear. Dialogue bleed is at full volume across all channels, the music score is occasionally in mono, the ADR is very wooly, and you have a lot of compressed sound effects taken from the James Bond...

You'd think it would be cheaper to repress the earlier disc than author a new inferior version but I guess I'm not that much of an expert of Zaslov logic.

Shot in 1080. Waste of time.

According to Hunt its the same transfer albeit upgraded with Dolby Vision. Maybe the "new transfer" was for the portion that had to be reconstituted from a dupe. Also (and this will thrill Neil to no end) the original 1978 5.1 has apparently been reencoded in DTS-HD MA lossless.

It is unfortunate that they've once again skipped the 2001 cut of S:TM. This time there really is no excuse.

I just don't get why people think a "new transfer"* of Superman: The Movie is somehow going to make it look better. I mean Unsworth heavily brickwalled the ONeg with all those diffusion filters, and as I said at this forum multiple times when the last release came out: AND YET... here we go...

The armchair colorists at the other forum were complaining about the HDR cast being too washed out or something. Otherwise nothing can be done about that grain and the picture resolution. There's simply no 4k there, let alone even 2k.
