Not counting Criterion titles, Warner's classic titles in 4K has been disturbingly low this year.

Not counting Criterion titles, Warner's classic titles in 4K has been disturbingly low this year.

If I were to guess, that may be because they decided to release the complete series of Friend on 4K (never mind all the stuff that WAC releases on Blu-ray).

Here is a descript of The Terminator 4K presentation, this has been recently playing in select theaters.

We saw The Terminator 4K restoration; how did it look?

The Terminator is the latest James Cameron film to undergo a major restoration, but it will be controversial.

Sony/Columbia and Paramount 4K releases of classic films for 2024 are knocking it out of the park!
Warners with MGM titles are barely at first base. Very disappointing

Disappointing to how many people? Many of the films Warner Archive release on Blu-ray disc don't have 4K's worth of information so a 4k disc would be pointless. Most of their discs are so good that no-one watches them and feels a further upgrade in necessary.

I'm not sanguine about a 4K Tron looking very good.

FIrst ever restoration from the Hi8 videotapes & 16mm film elements,, Coming to Blu Ray via Second Sight on 11/11.

Not sure if I could bear to watch this. I really hate how early digital from productions from a Sony PC3 Handycam, Sony PD-150 and Sony DVCAM look, projected onto a large screen nowadays - Bamboozled, Festen, Inland Empire, The Gleaners, Full Frontal etc. I find the picture so distracting and it makes it very difficult to lose myself into the movie. Any interior shots with extreme dissonance between light and dark look very ugly, with lots of artifacting, which any amount of modern massaging can't really fix. Films shot on second-generation digital movie cameras such as the Panavision Genesis and the Thomson Viper, while still primitive by today’s standards, were huge leaps forward in the race to close the gap between celluloid and high-definition. Still, good that stuff from the trial-and-error years are granted blu-rays. The previous The Blair Witch Project blu-ray was an early entry into the field and looked awful, with an uninteresting commentary. I would probably go for the supplements and book in the Limited Edition Second Sight release.
