You don’t need 4K to access the new master. The new master will still stream in 1080p, or 720p, or even 480p for that matter....Paramount's view is that if you don't have internet that can handle 4K loads, you are worthy of only discs from an old master. And really, does anyone think that a legit 4K and/or upgraded blu-ray wouldn't sell?
Just one question, Josh.
If Paramount were to release their 4K restoration on an upgraded BD, would you make a purchase of it?
Same here. I have no need of a 2K Blu-Ray disc when I now have access to a 4K version. A more appropriate question would be “Would you purchase a 4K UHD Blu-Ray if Paramount were to release that?”Speaking for myself I love the film. Classic.
And the iTunes 4K version is more than sufficient for me. No need to buy the physical disc. At a higher price no less.
Just sayin.
Well since Apple’s not your thing, you shouldn’t have purchased it there. The 4K stream is now also on Vudu for $16.99.My only problem is the exclusive Apple ecosphere....I don't have Apple TV. I have Movies Anywhere, Vudu, and FandangoNow so my iTunes purchases only play on Apple TV. I purchased the iTunes 4k version but can't watch it anywhere but on my iPhone. My TV is Android based (Vizio M Series). Thats the problem with streaming....you have to subscribe/buy multiple services/equipment whereas a disc plays in any UHD player.
