Waiting for Lawrence of Arabia and 2001 4K (1 Viewer)

[McHugh]

I am very surprised that Lawrence of Arabia has not been released on 4K given that The Bridge on the River Kwai 4K has. It is the number one movie I want to see in 4K and Sony hasn't even announced a release date. 2001: A Space Odyssey will also be a definite purchase for me as well but no release date for it either.

"Lawrence" is available on Amazon in 4K UHD and it looks spectacular! Where's the 4K disc?

Has been on Kaleidescape for years now. This is the way it should be done !

2001 release date announced as Oct 30, 2018.

I certainly would like to see Lawrence of Arabia on a UHD blu-ray rather then the existing streaming versions.

Seems like Sony always includes Lawrence in its demos to launch new formats but waits forever until to release it. They should've put it out last year for its 65th Anniversary. Guess they'll probably wait until 2022.

I just got an email from Warners talking about 2001 in UHD coming on October 30.

Lawrence Of Arabia on 4K Blu-ray is a must buy for me and as soon as it is available I will buy it!

More Classics like this need to be released in 4K UHD Disc ! River Kwai is the only Classic I have. My other 4K discs are King Kong 2005 and Planet Earth 2. That's my 4K collection. 2001 A S O will be my next. Unless Lawrence comes out first.

The iTunes 4K version is nowhere near as good as the Amazon 4K streaming version. What happened?

I would wonder if it has anything to do with compression.

I've been doing comparisons of the 2 versions...switching back and forth...and the Amazon vastly superior.

I need to check it out because I bought the iTunes version a long time ago which means I own the Amazon Prime version too. I just double checked and the Amazon version is in my Amazon Prime film library.

Am I the only Kaleidescape owner here, it seems like it ?

My experience has been that their UHD early releases are identical visually to the UHD BDs when they come out.

Unless, I'm misunderstanding something, you might as well buy the 4K/UHD disc as it appears cheaper than some of those prices on that site.

No you aren't missing much except a few things which may or may not matter .The Kaleidescape allows one to play the title anywhere in your home, frequently the titles are released significantly earlier than the discs, all titles go directly to the film when selected not to menus and trailers, one can store hundreds if not thousands of titles on the drive for instant access. You select scenes that can be kept as scripts for demonstration if you like , just a few things. I'm sure I'm missing some things. It isn't the least expensive way to watch BDs or UHD BDs however.
