@kadenprows8079 Жыл бұрын

I pre-oreded this back in May, and I'm SO HAPPY with how it looks! Particular the scene at the end with Thomasin and Black Phillip. It looked almost black-and-white with a yellow hue on the previous 4K, but now it has much starker contrast and vivid colors despite the dark background (which is handled much better). I watched them back-to-back and I personally think this is a MASSIVE upgrade.

@jmchez Жыл бұрын

Good to know because that's the scene that most disappointed me in the Lionsgate 4K. It was not any better than the blue ray and I got rid of the disc. Looking forward to a properly lit (lighted?) version.

@a-v-karin7617 Жыл бұрын

@@jmchez Was the HDR that bad? I only watched the Lions Gate 4k in Dolby Vision and was less than impressed. Felt like blacks were washed out the entire way through. In contrast Gretel and Hansel has an excellent 4K HDR grading on its German 4K release. Radically different vivid color timing that changes the experience for the positive in my opinion.

@josephagundez5336 Жыл бұрын

I pre-ordered this last month and I got it on Friday. It's so good and it looks great! What I thought was so interesting while watching the special features was that Eggers thought his own film was overrated and didn't believe it was going to do as well as it did. He ran into so many production issues that he just wanted to make enough money to get another project green lit, but in actuality it launched his career.

You know what, I don't know this movie very well, but what I can say is that, that's the kind of edition that makes me love physical media. When a movie is a reference for you, having in your collection such a nice edition of that movie is so satisfying and unfortunately those, so complete and beautiful edition becomes more and more usual...

Being in the UK, I'm very lucky to have easy access to such a fantastic boutique physical media distributer, and I have to say they've done an excellent job once again!

I got this from Second Sight (and also got Drive). This also marked the first time I got a disc outside Region 1 DVD or Region A Blu-ray. (And that gave me a chance to demonstrate the multi-region capabilities of my 4K player =D ). The packaging instantly reminded me of the Arrow-issued Donnie Darko Blu-ray. Seeing it reminded me of how I saw it in the cinema.

The special features are great, I really enjoy the interviews. Now that I know that the ending was originally going to be Thomasin riding black Phillip into the woods and then into the sky I can’t get it out of my head. Clearly Eggers couldn’t get that image out of his head either, because he had the Valkyrie in Northman riding into the sky. Would be a sick tattoo to get Anya riding a goat

I love these collector's editions but I really wish they'd release a standard version that doesn't cost ~$60 like Second Sight did with Drive. I want to pick this up but I can't justify that price tag, nor do I want all that extraneous stuff. Again, I'm so happy this exists but would love a no-frills version with a $25 or $30 price point

I can definitely see where you would appreciate the history associated with this movie!

I liked this movie in an eerie and creepy sort of way. But not enough to justify the price for this. I don’t think this is one of those movies that really benefits enough from this “upgrade”. It is a very basic movie as far as cinematography goes. It doesn’t have huge moving landscapes or special effects. I found the Blu ray and digital of this to be more than sufficient. I realize others will disagree. That’s just my personal take. Where as movies like The Northman even would benefit more than this film from this 4K treatment in my opinion. 🤷‍♂️
