Apple TV+ iTunes 4K Upgrades Thread (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

Yesterday I bought The Big Country (1958) from VUDU for $7.99. I thought it would be nice to have a Digital copy at a nice price. It was in Full screen ! Not in Widescreen 2.35:1 like the KL Bluray. I got a Refund. Why don't they have these movies in the correct aspect ratio ? Also ...Jason and the Argonauts Digital is a Old version with Dirt and specks all over it. Nothing like the Sony Bluray. Got that Refunded from itunes weeks ago. These Digital companies need to update their movies with the Best versions available.

Your post has nothing to do with iTunes 4K upgrades!

Every time I see a new post in this thread I'm hoping it's about Black Rain.

All I know is .......The movies I mentioned need to be Upgraded.

That's fine, but this thread is dedicated to iTunes 4K upgrades.

Rick, not sure if you realize the full, relevant context of this dedicated thread (as it's not explicitly expressed in the opening few posts), but AFAIK, the (by far) #1 reason why we have this thread (instead of a more general digital upgrades thread or one dedicated to Vudu or some other non-iTunes platform) seems to be because Apple/iTunes had (originally) promised free upgrades if/whenever they receive 4K versions of digitals, so people (especially) want to know if/whenever their already (or soon-to-be) purchased iTunes digitals would get upgraded (for free) to 4K -- or if in some (rare) cases, their older digitals don't get upgraded for free at all despite 4K becoming available (as the process has not been perfect to say the least)...

Vudu never provides (nor promised) free upgrades, so there's naturally (much) less (though not zero) interest in Vudu's status re: upgrades. And your particular post has more to do w/ what you want to see done on Vudu in a more general sense (not even necessarily specific to 4K anyway) that's not so relevant to the rationale for this thread...

Having said that, not completely sure where might be most appropriate for you complaint post. Maybe the Streaming Frustrations thread? Not sure...

Hope that helps clarify things...

I watched Highlander last.....very disappointed. I did not see much of a difference with the HD version.

Pulp Fiction has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

Pulp Fiction has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

So has "Escape from Alcatraz".

So has "Escape from Alcatraz".

This was released by Kino on 4K disc so I wonder how many more Paramount titles that Kino releases on 4K disc will also get an upgrade to 4K on iTunes?

 

[JPCinema]

So far , it’s a good sign.

 

[Robert Crawford]

My iTunes HD digitals of Bringing Out the Dead has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision while Dragonslayer upgraded to 4K without any HDR. Edit: Correction Dragonslayer does have Dolby Vision.

Is there a digital 4K version of The Saint?

I’m following up on the post by the digital bits. He stated a digital 4k version was available but I couldn’t locate it. I have the film on vudu and iTunes.

Not yet, but I expect my iTunes HD digital to upgrade in the coming months.

I was just coming here to report Dragonslayer, but you beat me to it, so instead I'll add that Orlando has upgraded to 4K Dolby Vision, and My Best Friend's Wedding has had Dolby Vision added to it (it has been 4K for years).

Yup, My Best Friend’s Wedding digital has upgraded too.

I guess it was there for a while and then was pulled back. Paramount may be revealing a bit too much by putting titles out in digital 4k and then the disc later on

Watching Dragonslayer now. Looks great!

Yeah, I watched the first ten minutes of it and was impressed. I’ll probably watch the entire movie again later this week.

Now I wish I had purchased this on iTunes rather than Vudu back in the day.
