I found this at a Best buy right before Christmas for $17. I couldn't believe it cuz it was sitting next to a standard Blu-ray of some marvel movie that cost $35 and it didn't even have any special features. I watch this on my 4K home theater setup and absolutely loved it. I forgot how much of a masterpiece this film really was and I haven't seen it since I was a teenager so I'm glad to finally come back to it in such an amazing way.

I saw the final cut on Thursday in the theater. It was amazing. One of the best theatrical experiences ever.

Attention: all Cuts are in the same 4K transfer quality

All three cuts were fully restored to the same quality in 4k from the camera negatives. All three have the same quality Dolby Atmos remix. Walter Murch created one of the first 5.1 70mm mixes with both split stereo surrounds and baby boom channel and so the supervised Atmos remix takes it to a whole new level.

I seriously cannot wait for this one! This and the shining are on my list!

Saw the Final Cut in IMAX a Couple weeks back. This is gonna be a Day 1 Purchase and $22.99 for a 6 Disc Set is a Steal

Order Now: amzn.to/2ZmhIEF All 3 versions of the film have a 4K transfer. Sorry for not mentioning the Theatrical specifically!

So many versions... Theatrical version (1979) Redux (2001) - additional 49 minutes compared to the Theatrical version Final cut (2019) - 20 minutes shorter than the redux, so it's in the middle between the Theatrical Version and the redux.

Just watched it today (10-18-2023) for the 1st time ever with that same exact copy you have. Had the movie for like a year or 2 now and barely just watched it. I’m definitely a fan of this movie now. That low frequency effect scared the CRAP out of me right before the chaos ensues. Thought an earthquake was happening😂🤙🏻

But the question is - should I upgrade from my LaserDisc copy to the 4K version?

I've owned this on VHS, DVD and blu. Your review has me excited to upgrade to 4K. Thank you.

I’m pretty late to the party, but I just recently started collecting physical media. I found this bad boy for $13 at Best Buy. It almost seemed blasphemous not to pick it up at such a low price. I’m glad to hear it was such a good restoration.

just picked this up.... you can actually see the individual rain drops during the never get out the boat scene.... very impressive transfer

Your enthusiasm really shines through on this one. Great review as always, Love your channel, Keep up the good work.

Your video on the difference between frame sizes was amazingly educational. Also the one on 4K being better for pre CGI films. No one else had ever explained to me why I would need 4K before.

I've seen both Apocalypse Now and Close Encounters when they were originally released in the theaters and now on 4K. In this review Jeff says, "I can tell that (Close Encounter) movie was shot 40 years ago," but then he says Apocalypse Now doesn't look like it was shot 40 years ago. Both movies looked beautiful when they were first shown. It's a mistake to think that movies looked bad 40, 50, or 60 years ago. The problem is the Close Encounters 4K disc looks like crap. It has a ton of grain that wasn't present the first time it was shown. The only shot I remember looking grainy were composition shots of the mothership that were in closeup. The Apocalypse Now 4K is a perfect representation of what it originally looked like when it was shown. Hopefully one day we can get a new 4K remastering of the Close Encounters film reels.

Personally I prefer the film grain then it being removed and taking awful that authentic film look then a digital film.

I saw this in IMAX last week and it looked and sounded just incredible. So, I’m not surprised by the praise you bestowed upon it. Can’t wait to bring this home. The sensual sound labeling is intriguing. Reminds me of what Gaspar Noe did with the opening scene of Irreversible that low frequency coupled with the dizzying movement of the camera really instilled that gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

The fact that it includes both versions of the movie is what sold it for me. So many extras Also, it $14 right now. July/2022

Thanks for the review of this classic film...looking forward to seeing and hearing it in 4K.

This Digipack ist most definitely missing a slip case. It looks weird without one.

Very helpful review, thank you 🙏🏻

Watched it last night and it looked and sounded great. So cool how you can hear the helicopter go around you in each speaker in the opening. Among the most cryptically presented great war films of all time. The Horror!

Amazing movie, plot and story are thought-provoking, plus the visuals and sounds are breathtaking and significantly aid immersion.

Thanks man. Currently have the "Full Disclosure Edition" but pulled the Amazon trigger after watching your review. Very complete review delivered by a cat that can speak well.

Very pleased with this news brother. Can't wait to pick it up. Thanks for the review!

Great review!!! Thanks!!! My copy will be arriving from Amazon on Tuesday. My four PSA sealed subwoofers, with 15" drivers, will be getting a good workout.

Glad to have followed from IG to Tube. Walk the Line is my favorite biographical musical.

Just picked this up today finally! Can’t wait to pop it in.

His last name is pronounced like "COPE-OLLA", in case you're doing another movie of his.

Mine will be here Tuesday. Can’t wait..

I picked this up a few months ago and wow it’s stunning

Hey bro great video , question I have is what picture style would you choose? I have the 4K LG OLED 2018 tv , just curious which picture format would you choose to have the most original look from what they did in the color grade.

GODDAMN!!! I love the smell of 4K catalogues in the morning...especially with packaging like that! Picking it up manana!

great video , what 4k projector do you own, can we see it in action ?

I really enjoyed and appreciated your review. This Final cut is worth seeing. Personally, I prefer more vivid color scheme of the earlier release to the subdued yellowish tone of the final cut. The green color of the palm trees and overall skin tones are more natural in the earlier release. The audio has much improved quality in the final cut though.

the artwork and colours was amazing.

Great video. I wonder if the Best Buy exclusive steelbook that just came out is the same 4K transfer as the 40th Anniversary Edition?

I bought my copy of the 6-Disc set used from Amoeba Records in SF for just $15, discs are in perfect condition and the packaging still looks great. An absolute steal, probably the coolest piece of physical media I own, a close second to my Criterion Blu-Ray of Seven Samurai.

The digital code I got was weird. The final cut and redux were fine but the theatrical cut got all messed up. It froze on a frame ever 5 minutes but the audio kept going.

This is my new go to demo. The Atmos and the picture are flawless.

Going to place my order today. This is a must own film for Cinema files. I previously owned the DVD release. Been holding out for a package like this. 👍🏾✌🏾

Can't wait been on pre order

Can't wait - Amazon is promising Tues release day delivery!

Absolutely glorious film. This package is mind blowing.

Ordered this the day they announced it. I saw an advanced screening of an early cut of the film at the Cinerama Dome back in '79 which was still the best way to see it till now. There were no film credits so they gave out programs. I still have mine. Another forty year old movie i'm eagerly awaiting is George Romero's Dawn of the Dead. It was anounced for a 4k release earlier this year.

Excellent review. I couldn't believe how good looking this movie is now and the sound was blowing me away,,,turn that Bass up :)

I watch my 4k movies on a PS5 and for this movie when I get to the French dinner scene I have to switch the movie from Dolby Atmos to Dolby Digital. Has anyone run into this issue? I tried changing the settings on the PS5 to bitstream in the movie menu and also change the settings on the sound to Dolby in the ps5 sound settings menu but neither one of those changes resolve the issue.

About the feature called "Sensual Sound", you know one of the edition of Akira received a special treatment too? It's called "Hypersonic efffect". Mind blowing sound scape! If i'm not wrong, it's similar to Sensual Sound. By the way, it should be back on the forthcoming 4K release of Akira.

What is going on Stateside? I live in the UK and I got this on Tuesday (a week before the US release date) Anyhow this is a phenomenal release the Final Cut looks and sounds amazing. Grain galore, colour balance detail greatness and shadow and black detail is amazing and looks close to celluloid heaven. Apocalypse Now's sound is probably even more influential, after all this is the first dramatic film that utilised 5.1. That opening was made for Surround sound. However having said that I do want to take a look at the Theatrical Cut since this is my favourite cut (the French Plantation sequence is shot beautifully, but I find it slowing the film down IMO)

Just picked up a used copy of this at my local video store for 12 bucks here in 2023. Even considering all the great releases that have come out in the four years since this was released, holy hell is this impressive! Might be the best 4K transfer I’ve ever seen, and the sound is incredible too.

it was the DTS-HD 5.1 audio on the previously blu-ray. now, a brand new dolby atmos 7.1 audio with meyer sound, and a same aspect ratio [16x9 2.35:1], I thought it will b a 2.39 or 2.40 aspect ratio.

meyer sound , I noticed it it with the tiger scene. both chef and Willard looking for mangos.

I have the 3 disc version, containing only the Final Cut (4K, Blu-ray and bonus disc). When I play the Blu-ray disc in my PS4 the sound cuts off at 2 hours. A workaround is to switch to 2.0 sound. Does anyone know if this also happens on the 4K disc? Can I have my faulty disc replaced? I emailed the webshop where I bought this. I hope they have a solution.

Dude how can u miss pronounce Francis Ford Coppola name several times.

I'm looking forward to your Full Metal Jacket 4k review

Placed my order about halfway through your video. You haven't led me wrong yet!

You have so many Bluray's you must have been a huge collector, even Hollywood would not have this many in their vault, only for resale, do you collect steel books as well.

Can someone clarify if this 4k UHD release includes the original theater release? I love that version and I'm totally uninterested in purchasing this 4K UHD if it's not included.

are the blurays A-zone blocked? i mean, are region free?

Coppola sounds like Coe-Pah-la. The emphasis is on the first syllable not the second. Not trying to be a troll, just sayin.

Hey man, I really hope I’m not too late to get a response from you on this video since it’s a year old. Great video, I am watching on a LG OLED CX 77” through a Panasonic UB-820 and I wanted to know if during your viewing of this disc (particularly the 1979 original as I figured I’d start there) did the intro have a TON of what looked like almost MPEG noise?

Gremlins,Stand by me,Space odyssey's on the way. I'm looking forward for Goodfellas and this one!!thanks for the great channel!

What svs sub do you have?

Does the digital copy redeem in 4k?

I bought The Final Cut in 2020 on DVD and Bluray. I also have the extended version and Redux version.

one of my favourite classic war movies and by Francis Ford Coppola

This would be a great movie to have in any collection. I wish they'd redo Jaws in 4k!

i have a feeling, that i will start ramping up My blu ray wish list which includes this film

Got mines for $3 @ a local Pawnshop about 2 weeks ago

That messed up part of the packaging on the top left hand corner would bother me. I pray mine looks perfect when it arrives.

What I didn't like was that there are some scenes where the quality changes. It doesn't look 100% equal beginning to end like say THE SHINING or FULL METAL JACKET. Those movies I give a Home Run this I give a Triple with a close play.

does anyone know where to get the original cut in 4k in the UK?

Are the special features discs standard blu ray? or 4K?

About the frequency, it should be simple enough to know the range, 18Hz- 22KHz? From there well if you can reach those, then it’s the quality of the system

is there any difference between the Final Cut and Redux? I saw the Final Cut is on sale on the Windows/Xbox store.

CO-PA-LA. That's how you say his last name.

J. This version [edit], really movies the story along. Everything that is ADDED is perfect, to tie it all together. The plantation scene is perfect. Atmos is Amazing in all the right places. If you're expecting bigger explosions, stick to Marvel. P.S. pete cap is not wrong. Still, like your vids. Best, D.

Think I hear the Burnout Revenge 360 boost sound effect in the intro, nostalgia

It would be nice if you can compare how this final cut is different from the original theatrical and redux cuts of this film.

Can someone tell me what is different between the Final Cut and the original/redux?

Is redux the same as the orginal I want to get the steelbook

I dought any movie ever took as much work to make as that film.

I wonder if they added the dead babbies part and tiger cage scene.

What is the difference between regular and Redux?

Can’t wait to see this one. Does anyone else have problems with the movies freezing about 3/4 of the way through?

Can’t wait for November 10-13 The Godfather Part 2 45th anniversary in some select theaters. I haven’t get to experience it theaters it’s my first time but sure it’s gonna be very good hopefully they come out with a 4k blu Ray release.

Man it’s kinda appropriate you even look like a young Francis Ford Coppola!!

Oh Dear god I'm going to buy this movie for the 5th time (a record even for me)........Gotta have it....

Saw it again after 2001 Redux 2019 again at DOLBY CINEMA HDR DOLBY VISION - ATMOS

Are the standard bluray discs derived from the same 4K restoration?

this movie and last samurai has similar plot line ...wt do u say??

How do you think this would hold up compared to 2001: A Space Odyssey on 4K? I know you said that one was fantastic as well.

Just grabbed this for $13.99 on Amazon.

I for one hate the digipack trend with the glued on J cover to the cardboard sleeve. The corners get damaged no matter how careful you are. This is a deal breaker for me.

The Godfather(1972) The Godfather:Part II(1974) Apocalypse Now Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula all of them are classics Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula is extremely good

Francis Ford "Cop-ah-luh"

Apocalypse Now is not a war movie. It's about the descent into madness. The journey down the river is a metaphor for journeying into the mouth of madness (Colonel Kurtz's encampment).

We don't get it in England til 16th september. Did you know mate second sight films over here are bringing dawn of the dead out in 4k

Just bought on Gruv for $11.86, can’t believe it!
