Do you think studios are deciding to "4k" their flops in an attempt to recoup big loses from people who buy anything in 4K to support their new system? I picked this movie up in Blu ray from the $7.99 bin at Walmart some time ago. I have a high tolerance for schlock, and did not mind it, but sites like "Flixster" give this movie a ratings in the low 20%s, and it was generally regarded as "dead in the water" when it first premiered.

"...from people who buy anything in 4K to support their new system"

I'm always amazed at how many folks do this, be it 4K, 3D etc. It can be the WORST movie ever made yet folks will scramble to buy it (even at premium prices) just to say they got it in the format they use. I'm sorry, but if I hated a movie before, I don't care how great the latest format is, it doesn't cause me to suddenly love the dog of a movie more. You can't polish a turd as they say.

It actually was not declared "dead in the water" on release. Its opening week gross was considered solid, but poisonous word of mouth kept it from taking off hugely. It grossed more than $120 million domestically and over $300 million worldwide on a $160 million budget. So, not a sterling success but not DOA either (not like, for example, John Carter or Alice Through the Looking Glass).

I actually like this movie. No it isn't stellar but not a bad popcorn flick. However, that starting price is very high. I would like to see it in the $15 range. It is a catalog title. So I may just wait to buy it when it is there.

It's funny isn't it? I loved John Carter and always used it to demonstrate my system.

Whatever else you might say about Van Helsing, it features Kate Beckinsale running around in a leather bodice for almost the entire film. Bring on the HDR!

I actually liked VH it in the theater - the CGI um sucked (IMHO) I can't imagine it would look any better in 4K ...

One of the most beautifully photographed prologues.

Kind of League-of-Extraordinary-Gentlemanish.
