So... I compared the new 4k with my Bluray. I have both ripped to hard drives and viewed it on my PC. I could immediately see lack of detail in the 4k compared to the Bluray, but of course my PC monitor doesn't show HDR very well. So I compared both on my projection setup and I was surprised...
I'm confused which version Robert watched... the review by Matt mentions a Criterion version from 2017 while Robert suggests there is a Warner version that doesn't appear to be on Amazon.
I've seen the recent digital version (projected) and it was abysmal. Very waxy to the point of distraction. I'm very surprised to hear the disc version is getting a positive reaction.
I appreciate your thoughts. I was thinking something similar with setting up a separate tone-mapping setting for this reason. I couldn't experiment with it last night as I had a guest, but I will going forward.
Watched His Girl Friday last night (for the first time). Exhausting affair! I was blown away by the frenetic pacing of this movie and the superlative performances from the cast. Impeccable and brilliant timing on the part of Grant and Russell and the writing is very clever. Wow. It's...
Watched this last night (for the first time) and loved the movie... but the ending was a little strange - very abrupt with no explanation. Was there footage lost/missing?
