I think thre's more hope it will get licensed through Criterion. I don't care either way. But I would love to have it in 4K.
A stream on iTunes is often not the same stream on Amazon. IMO, Amazon is the worst of the streaming services in comparison to iTunes and Vudu. Too many Amazon streams are SD only. The stream on Amazon is an older version while the stream on iTunes has been updated with a more recent one in 4K/Dolby Vision.haines says the Amazon stream looks terrible. Robert Crawford seems to be implying the iTunes stream looks great. Can they both be right? My guess is yes.
Time only moves forward, and with each year, the 4k streams/4kdisc ratio will increase. And we will be needing expert reviews (such as we receive here) to evaluate the quality of streaming releases as well as disc releases.
Agree 100%IMO, Amazon is the worst of the streaming services in comparison to iTunes and Vudu.
I haven't watched the iTunes stream when I posted my comments yesterday. However, your post and after digging a bit into Amazon's stream I got curious so I sat down this morning and watched the iTunes 4K/Dolby Vision stream to sample it. I got caught up in the movie so I ended up watching all 130 minutes of it. IMO, it looked beautiful! Furthermore, the iTunes stream has all of the Blu-ray bonus material, but I need to check to see if anything new was added. Later today, I'm going to try to compare the 2012 Blu-ray to this 4K stream. No promises as I get easily distracted by other things/movies.haines says the Amazon stream looks terrible.

Does the iTunes version have the original mono audio available as an option?Furthermore, the iTunes stream has all of the Blu-ray bonus material...
Pretty sure it's the remix only. I don't think any iTunes titles offer multiple audio options.Does the iTunes version have the original mono audio available as an option?
Whatever Amazon Prime has is the shittiest this film has ever looked, literally all brown.
2001 does, but the last time I checked the 1968 audio was terribly out of sync.Pretty sure it's the remix only. I don't think any iTunes titles offer multiple audio options.

Right. Forgot about that one.2001 does, but the last time I checked the 1968 audio was terribly out of sync.
Actually many do.Pretty sure it's the remix only. I don't think any iTunes titles offer multiple audio options.
