This was the film that launched two of the big players in late 80's and 90's films. Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds. So it has significance.

I got both the Kino and the Eureka. I was about to sell the old Eureka blu ray when I realized that the new 4K version DOES NOT offer the option of 1.33 versions and 1.85 versions like the OG Eureka MOC blu ray set. I'm glad I noticed. I think it's important to have both options. Although Welles...

Subjective

Has anyone done any meaningful breakdown on the quality of these 4K transfers? Odds are that Criterion would just work with the same elements. (if, indeed, they release these in the United States at some point)

If you have an OPPO player- you can sideload the subtitles from a USB while watching a disc.👍

This is a modern 65mm film camera. I don't think it would have been a problem.

No matter who you picked as the killer in ORIENT EXPRESS- You were right. Lol.

Disappointed that it was not shot on 65mm this time.

Frank Tarzi of KL confirmed on the Cereal at Midnight podcast that this set is just the first set. and the next one is being worked on and should be out in 2024. i hope some day we find out why the commentaries could not be included. (I honestly can't imagine why.)

Awesome!

The reason is music licensing. The licensing rules are/were quite different for European countries then they were for the United States. however, Universal is putting out a complete series Blu-ray in December. The UK blu ray set from Fabulous has all the original music (which was extremely...

When smaller movies get "the treatment"- it give me hope that EVERYTHING can get it.

While I love the snark- I had to comment on the last bit. The planet is actually greener than ever, with MORE trees than it had 20 years ago. https://www.warpnews.org/human-progress/nasa-the-earth-is-greener-now-than-it-was-20-years-ago/

High bitrate HDR10 disc > Low bitrate DV stream

There is also a 3D steelbook from Amazon.de - and it is listed to have English subs. If not- I can always download the subs onto a USB and sideload them with my Oppo!:P but yes- buying 4k/3d separately is probably the better move. That Japanese version (nice as it is) is just too pricey.

Film resolves at 4-6k. This is not imagined. Steve Yedlin, ASC If you wanted to make the argument that 2K is enough and 4K is imperceptible from 2K- that is a worthwhile discussion. Steve Yedlin did a very interesting test on resolutions and perception that is worthwhile viewing...

This set has both

35mm film can resolve well beyond 4K... sometimes up to 6K. (I get this info from actual DPs, rather than some guy on YT. (No offense)).

RCA SelectaVision disc? Lol.

I've said it before-I'll say it again: You cannot see 8K unless your TV is 160" or bigger. This is not an opinion- this is science!

Huh. Now you've got me thinking that maybe we would be better off with transfers from IPs rather than the OCNs. The IP was finished. Using the OCN means they can "re-finish" and alter it the way they see fit. 🤔

Yes. The grain IS the image. DNR just smears grains together. There is definetely a "sweet spot" - where you you aren't smearing, but you also don't have a horde of ants crawling in white skies.

Aliens and Predator were very grainy film stock- even projected 35mm.

Hi, Steven! Help yourself to Coffee and Donuts in the corner. Lol.

Probably my favorite Scorsese film. SO MANY films have copied it.

of course, I was referencing other material that do not have HD editions. Yes, you can wait and hope... But shows like ACTION (1999), ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY, JR. (1993) NEWSRADIO (1995), THE TICK (2001), or MILLENNIUM (1996) will not be getting any streaming in HD or a Blu ray...

I'm actually taking matters into my own hands- and have been upscaling all my TV DVD sets with Topaz VEAI. Really thrilled with the results- considering that many of these shows don't have chance in Hades of ever getting the HD treatment.

Imagine how much money they would have saved by making these blu rays. these giant DVD box sets are ridiculous. You'd need half as many discs. Turbine in Germany makes tv sets as "SD on Blu ray"- makes so much more sense. obviously would be better if it was just HD Blu-rays! But at least with...
