A Few Words About A few words about…™ Beetlejuice - in 4k UHD Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

I did that for a while, but didn't notice any difference. The Samsung 4K player was kind of glitchy, so I switched back to my Sony blu-ray player. The 4K player is currently in storage.

Those of us who desired to support 4k early on, were forced to purchase those glitchy Samsung toys. They should never have bee released.

Oh for sure. It is such a visually dynamic film. I would have no qualms about upgrading whatsoever if I had a reasonable expectation of getting a 4K setup in the near future. Since I don't expect to do that, it's useless to me without an upgraded Blu-ray. But I'm sure people who can use the 4K will probably lobe it.

As some others, including RAH noted, you can always get a 4K player and just downconvert to your existing HD setup.

That's what I've been doing (w/ a sub-$200 player) not knowing when I might eventually upgrade my HT.

Thru my modest BenQ FP, the 4K disc downconverted can even look a smidge better than reference quality BDs like Braveheart. For movies that have plenty of high contrast scenes, you may have the option (in the downconversion... on a decent player anyway) to bring out some more of the highlight details otherwise typically lost on the BD.

Something worth considering especially since you mentioned you do already buy 4K+BD combo packs in some cases...

Warner's Atmos remixes on their catalogue titles are often better than many modern titles - looking forward to this.

I do not yet have this title in my library and am looking forward to picking this movie up on 4K blu-ray!

Warner Bros. has let stuff out to Criterion before, from John Waters to Joan Crawford to The In-Laws.

But if we're getting more Tim Burton in 4k then I'll gladly be down for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Boy oh boy, do I miss that Tim Burton, and I say this as someone who went as Beetlejuice for Halloween in 1990. The elementary school I went to forbade Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Chucky the Doll as costumes, so that was as scary as I could get at age 7.

Two years after this UHD disc was released, I finally picked it up and got to watch it last night. Holy cow!!! I’ve never experienced Beetlejuice like this before. The reds and blues of certain scenes are so vibrant. The Atmos mix is very dynamic. What a treat!
