Dune Part 2 is now my #1 reference 4K

@redrock425 Ай бұрын

The "best" ones are always the modern ones, high quality source, great sound and HDR. The best improvement is seen on the restored old films, especially the darker ones. My wife and I were shocked at The Thing, where did all the gore come from 😂 So much clearer than when we last saw it, probably on VHS! The old 70mm stuff looks fantastic on 4K. The one thing 4K does, more than any other format, is it shows up poor source material very clearly. That's when "reference" disks are useful, to check if a new disc is a poor transfer and not your AV equipment having a fit 😉

2001 was one of the 1st 4ks i ever got. Early in the film, when Dave is playing chess with HAL, when they do the close ups of Dave, you can count the hairs of his eyelashes. It's truly amazing. And then Ford Vs Ferrari on 4K may have a better sound track than even Top Gun Maverick. Definitely something to check out if you haven't already.

The 4K LOTR set doesn't deserve the recognition since it was DNRed to death. Wax faces everywhere and people looking like they are floating over the backgrounds due to detail being scrubbed out by the DNR. Such a shame too since the HDR was implemented well. I'd rather have the blu-ray w/o no HDR, but also no DNR tho.

And DUEL, Steven Spielberg's first film, another excellent quality remaster that looks like a modern film because of the impeccable image it has, it's hard to believe it's from 1971.

He told me, I quote: "as much as I hate to say it - there are no immediate plans for 4K releases." They then began releasing UHD discs in November 2021! It felt like a big bait-and-switch!

The 4K LotR trilogy ain't really sharper than the old 1080p bluray though. The grading and HDR is of course better giving it an overall better experience, but as a pure 4K release it's not a particularly good one. I'd look at newer stuff instead shot with something like a Arri Alexa LF or 65, so Bladerunner 2049, Joker, Dune, 1917, Empire of Light etc, there is really nothing that tops those imo. But of course modern fully CG movies can look really awesome as well, so anything Pixar, the Lego movies, Dreamworks etc :)
