These uHD releases are selling like hot cakes, people love the new look, James Cameron must be happy, Disney must be very happy, it looks like our resident film restoration expert is happy, but I cannot help but feel they should have just scanned the OCN, cleaned up some dirt and debris and then...

I understand what you say but I think some directors go too far, they so wish that the film stock had been less grainy, that the picture could have looked so sharp that they are changing things dramatically and more often than not for the worse. I mean take American Graffiti, if you remove the...

I think ultimately all that matters is how well something sells, no one cares what we say in forums. i just watched My Fair Lady on UHD tonight, fabulous image quality, quite possibly the best I have seen on this format and the documentary on it was fascinating too, so much damage to the...

I view by projection and trust me this is not a 5 star image, never, not ever in a million years would it rise above 1, we need to stop all this A.I upscaling and DNR of the film grain. You know what I was watching this last month, many Hitchcock classics, they have some interesting...

I am a little bothered by the framing, take this shot, the first is the UHD, the second from the blu Ray, you touch it to get the second shot, now look and you will see Willy and his dad are missing from the frame on the UHD, is this just for a few frames, do they appear in that shot, I don’t...

A lot of defending of 2001, so tell me why are some people not seeing the ringing, halo’s are not acceptable to me, yet they are there on this release, thats an epic fail in my book, yet the film gets a pass. Being a perfectionist has nothing to do with this, i do not understand why so many...

I enjoyed Discovery, it was shown on Netflix in the UK, i love the 2.39:1 aspect ratio and hope they keep it for season 3. Its the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek the motion picture, come on Paramount, spend some bucks and redo the fx of the directors cut and release on UHD 4k disc.

Watched both the German release editions of A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few a Dollars More last night, very pleased with A Fistful of Dollars, less pleased with the sequel which unfortunately contains too much sharpening, edge halos are a pet hate of mine and whenever you have dark outfits...

Something about Safari browser and iPad, I am having issues editing my post, when I mention 3D disc and films it should say Hondo, not Honda, that’s funny. I also agree, disc prices can be a bit high when they launch, I do tend to wait for lower pricing, it’s just a matter of money and what I...

It will be a slow death for disc, I think we are seeing now that smaller boutique labels, Arrow, Shout, Twilight a Time, Eureka, Kino are licensing titles that the studios would have released themselves in the past, this will continue for many years to come. I never rated Samsung players...

Oh right, I thought it was maybe a proper screenshot streaming via an app. The Goldeneye blu ray certainly has lots of DNR applied.

I am having problems with the iPad and the site so I have to write a separate post, regarding $500 dollar blu ray players versus $100 dollar ones, where it counts, picture and audio, there should be zero difference, a decent low budget Panasonic delivers exactly the same performance as that $500...

Looks a bit processed to me but each to their own.

It’s frustrating that we have not had any classic musicals released on UHD disc yet, it’s even more frustrating that they always wait for an anniversary year, if I look on iTunes they probably have some and that’s even more annoying that disc gets passed up first.

Glasses free tech unfortunately will only offer depth and very mild pop out, I do not want to invest in that but if it helps get more classic 3D releases then good as long as those 3D releases are not substantially altered to It’s a shame about Disney, they muck up and dumb down their audio on...
