    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I don't think it is clear yet if it was a 4k scan or not. It was finished in 2k and upscaled for the 4k release, but it may have originally been from a 4k scan. Needless to say the technology has improved since then so a new scan would have been better. It's apparently that Cameron doesn't want...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Well I'm not saying fans are always right, but it's not really debatable that what is being applied to these films changes them drastically compared to normal UHD releases. Such heavy usage of AI, DNR, EE etc. not by necessity but by a desire for the films to look differently to how they should...

    Whether or not you notice it when watching... it is clearly worse. They've sharpened edges so much it appears like skin is pealing. If you can't notice a change, the change should still be an improvement and not a downgrade. And if you can't notice it, why are you buying this in the first...

    The bootleg Blu Ray exists (and looks better) and the Blu Ray of Aliens exists (and looks better) so, no, there is no way I am buying this crap. It's pretty simple really. Also, disc buying is an ethusiast market at this point. Catering to the masses is pointless since they don't buy discs. Even...

    Anyone who claims this is anything other than an upscale of the Lowry 2K master is deluding themselves. I do not consider edge enhancement "extra detail": there is none.

    And they are right. At most we should accept multiple versions being made available like directors cuts, but completely burying the original is a big no-no. There is zero valid argument for this. Doesn't matter what kind of film it is either. I would take Aliens over My Fair Lady any day. It is...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    It's preposterous to compare scanning an OCN with the travesties of the Cameron 4ks. They are not the same. Yes, the experience wasn't the same as when it was presented, but neither was watching it on 4k screens to begin with, or on any screens for that matter. It is entirely reasonable to...
