Thank you just ordered !

No it wouldn't, hdr actually takes away from movies

@@sirducksworthythe3rd842 Done right is knocks blu ray out of the water....

@@sirducksworthythe3rd842please elaborate

It depends on the capability of the display. HDR allows for wider dynamic range and a wider color gamut. So if you have a less-than-flagship LED TV or almost any projector, you won't notice much of a difference between HDR and SDR. But if you have a display capable of displaying peak highlights with over 1000 nits, true black levels, and can display 100% or more of DCI-P3 color gamut, then you will absolutely see huge differences (as long as the HDR was mastered decently, which it is in most but not all cases.) For all of those reasons, that is why I splurged on having high-end OLED displays. I want to be able to see and experience those differences. And for Gravity in particular, only OLEDs will be able to display the deep blacks of space accurately and with no blooming. That, combined with all of the aforementioned benefits of HDR, is why I will wait for a 4k HDR release of Gravity, (despite that Atmos track being very tempting.)

​@@sirducksworthythe3rd842 Ridiculous and purposely vague comment

I’m so glad he spent the time he did. It turned out so well. Have you seen Roma? Another Cuaron film with an unbelievable Atmos track. Thanks for watching! And your channel rocks btw!

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome I keep meaning to watch Roma as well! Children of Men was my first introduction to Cuarón and I was instantly hooked, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy Roma too! 🙌

I just ordered mine thanks to your video. Can’t wait!

Agreed, brother! 🍻

Wow!! Did you know at the time what a lucky find that was?

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome Yes, i had been looking for it for ages. Thankfully the store didn't know what they had and priced it the same as the regular. I already had it in 3d (steelbook), now have both.

I read somewhere that the director was not doing 4k. Tried it and didn't bother completing. I know that's a bit vague and I don't have a link. But hopefully that's nonsense

Happy viewing!

Where is the link?

Kaleidescape 🤯🤯. Maybe someday I’ll be able to afford that. For now I can dream…😁

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHomeI wouldn’t worry at that. It’s always best to own, than to rent, etc. Plus they could always go bust again, as they already have once before. You just never know.

The Kaleidescape version is a 56.9GB file verses the current blu ray at 22.0GB.

Nice! Glad it works for you

If you have ever heard a disc vs streaming version with a sound system, you would never think a streaming option is even close to comparable. If you are using TV speakers it doesn't matter but it's obvious with a good sound system.

@@lucaslee1483 I agree that the disk version is better than the digital, but that is way too general of a comment. Some digital versions sound absolutely phenomenal. And if you don’t have the right provider, then you were doing it wrong. Apples iTunes provide significantly better streams than any other provider, which has been proven by several KZfaqrs, who actually analyze the data being pushed by the provider. For instance, Apple streams at nearly 4 times the bit rate as Amazon or KZfaq

@@wrthomas69 Yes, I'm not an Apple person, I have an Android phone but use Apple for anything streaming because of that. I believe that only applies to video quality, not sound. No streaming service offers lossless audio, only compressed, which IMHO may be a bigger difference in quality disc vs streaming. Most people won't care, but I can definitely tell the difference.

Same

Let me know what you think of it. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint

... Something I'm hoping to do soon 🤞

Yeah. I’m sure this was to crumb up and gauge interest.

I don't think so. I bought the diamond luxe blu ray edition at Best Buy at $30 ten years ago. People, you should grateful that it's available again on physical media at $16. Buy it before it"s extinct.

Will be a while though there been issues with director and transfer agreeing on it

@@bman6285 and that’s why we have the blu. Fingers crossed we get it soon enough.

I remember when Gravity came out…. The film makers were promoting the acute attention to the physics. Uh, yeah… I mean no. The movie takes quite a few liberties. Similar to The Martian, where some of the physics are a bit comical.

I was saying this same thing, I have the 3D, why couldn’t they do like several others and put the Atmos on there smh

So many 3D blu rays do not feature the Atmos soundtrack but the 2D bundled with it did. Frustrating! I wonder if it is anything to do with disc capacity?

@@kylieman2010 not sure because Mad Max Fury Road, and both TMNT movies have the Atmos with the 3D, not sure if they used a bigger disc capacity or not

Here’s the link. Amazon has them in stock amzn.to/3wGROyh

Thanks George.

Oh man that is a tough question! I don’t know where to begin.

I hope so!

I suspect the Luxe edition will continue to command high prices due to its collectibility

Im not sure if it is. I’ve looked everywhere on the disc and case and don’t see any indication either way.

That would be awesome! 🤞

Dang that sucks! Physical media needs to be more widely available.

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome Turns out I was able to order from the US site of a certain global retailer! It wasn't even showing on the UK one. Should be here in a few days. 😁 Still an effort to get one though! 🙄

Not sure. But even the blu ray looks pretty good.

I checked the case and the disc and there is no information about being region locked. It doesn’t say anything about it so I can’t tell if it is or isn’t.

I’m not aware of any differences. However, I think the Diamond Luxe edition will continue to have value due to its collectibility.

The Amazon listing doesn’t say Atmos, but I can confirm the disc has the Atmos track amzn.to/3wJewFG

There is a silent version on this release

I preordered awhile back should be there when i get home

3D is top notch. Still have 2 old LG E6 oled displays to make sure I can still enjoy my 3D collection. My Epson projector does a decent job with 3D, but the oled is unmatched. They really need to bring 3D back as a feature on new displays.

I like 👍🏿 your channel u seem to have a real enthusiasm for home theater

Amazon. Here’s the link amzn.to/4dKMpGP

You got a good deal!

Yeah. My friend waited to long to get his and by that time they were already over $100.​@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome

Yeah the packaging is nothing special. It looks and feels like a typical blu ray. If Amazon was the seller you are most likely good. Thanks for watching!

I’m partial to physical media. So happy I finally have it on blu ray. Thanks for watching!

Physical media is still much better audio. I can’t tell the difference as far as picture quality, but the audio is obvious

I saw the other day too that the new one was coming out with atmos for about $16 on amazon. I wonder if this will make the diamond lux edition more valuable or less

Same. Got an ebay copy in 2017 for $43.

Likely less. They’re pretty identical except the diamond luxe banner. Supply always drops price.

@@willmahoney2452 i would think so too.....but maybe it might make it a collectors collectors Item hahahaha since it's the "original dolby atmos release" hahahahhaha who knows in this crazy world we live in! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Streamed isn’t quite the same, it’s close.

I agree. Streaming it’s a water down surround sound.

Here’s the link. Happy viewing! amzn.to/3QKZlTn

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome is it 4k

Blu ray

@@PIPERBOYWILLIAMSGravity 4K is coming later on if you wanna wait.

Link is in the description box. I’m not sure if it’s region free

Can’t find the description box. Watching your video on my iPad.

@@DDS23 here’s the link. Happy viewing! amzn.to/4dEwrOx

Thank you

It looked pretty dang good to me. But maybe the amazing sound distracted me 😁

Here’s the link. Happy viewing! amzn.to/3UMbXLd

That’s interesting, I thought the video was quite good for a blu ray. Maybe I was so focused on the sound I got distracted 😄

@@GeorgeTheaterAtHome wonder if it’s the same transfer from the diamond lux edition?

I’m not sure 🤔

Here’s the Amazon link amzn.to/3wJewFG

Unfortunately it’s not currently available. Hopefully someday we get it.

Here ya go. The description doesn’t say Atmos, but it’s there. Happy viewing! amzn.to/4dK4GE8

Thank you

Yes it has Atmos. Not sure why the listing doesn’t include that info, but it’s on the disc.
