    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Solo: A Star Wars Story -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I think the 4K disc is one of the least impressive that I own. Many of the dark scenes (and there are many) are dull, brownish, and lacking in shadow detail.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Solo: A Star Wars Story -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Well, I broke down, picked up the 4K UHD yesterday, and watched it with my wife last night. I liked it better the second time, but my reasons for not liking it remain. I do, however, think that this is one of the worst looking UHD titles I've seen. The black levels are terrible for most of the...

    Like the others have said Robert, the Disney thing will only affect streaming services, not digital purchases. Could you imagine the uproar if it were otherwise? There would be mobs with pitchforks and torches looking for Iger's head. :)

    I didn't care for Solo at all either. Opinions are like, well... ;)

    Oh, I'd definitely put it above all three prequels, but that's a pretty low bar for me.

    Sorry Travis, I just don't buy the supposition that people have better things to do on Memorial Day weekend that go to a Star Wars movie. It seems like a perfect time to me. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that point.

    That's logical Josh, but I agree it's probably splitting hairs a bit. Also, be aware that I'm arguing my points from the position of someone who didn't think this film needed to be made in the first place.

    Which means it wasn't getting good word of mouth because it wasn't reaching a large audience. Chicken and egg. I'll throw It out there again, which opened on the no-man's land weekend of September 8 and went on to do almost 3/4 of a billion dollars worldwide.

    I agree with Tino. If Solo had been something that people wanted to see and it was good, it would have done better business no matter when it opened. It's Star Wars, with Han Solo and Chewbacca.

    How does that theory explain Solo's 65% drop off the weekend after Memorial Day?
