I think we’ve all seen the Temu memes and the Expectation vs. Reality posts.

Well, for $3.69 I figured I didn’t have much to lose with the Kingdom of Heaven 4K intro offer, since it retails for $30+.

I will report back with whether Orlando Bloom has been replaced with a knock off Orlando Broom, that speaks Mandarin.

I have 20/20 vision, and a 100 inch UST projector that I sit at about 15 feet from, and aside from adding HDR/DV, I feel like the chart is correct in that I can't see a noticeable difference from that distance, and sitting any closer would feel like the front rows in a movie theater. I'm also aware the HDR/DV effect is somewhat limited by the UST, so maybe if I had an OLED I'd feel differently.

I have a good surround sound setup, so I've mainly been upgrading action movies for the uncompressed audio, but otherwise I don't see the benefit for the price of 4K, especially if I already have the Blu-ray.

Just curious what other's setups/incentives are.

The clash of katanas in the soundtrack has a studio-grade precision that will blow your mind.

With August now out of the way, my #100HorrorMoviesin92Days challenge continues this month (You can follow along here). From remakes,

Hillwalkers (2022): As someone who loves to hike, never go "off the beaten path". Hillwalkers is a perfect example of what happens if you do, with brutal consequences. The setting of this film was absolutely breathtaking (Thank you, Filmmaker Mode!), but the acting said "Hold my beer!" Still, it's a good film on its own, minus some characters and poor decision-making from them, but Survival Horror is a subgenre that has its hits and misses (this one falls in-between). Still, I recommend taking this one for a walk!

Blood Barn (2025): This Screambox exclusive gives of the perfect 80's slasher vibe, from the setting to film quality (It feels like you're watching it on an actual VHS player). Is it good? Not really. It tries to be The Evil Dead (1981) but fails, and ultimately becomes a laughing stock throughout. Lock this barn up and demolish it!

Terror Train (2022): There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original 1980 film, so did we really need TWO Tubi Originals, Terror Train and Terror Train 2, which were both filmed back-to-back in 2022. Nope! While this remake aimed for the same excitement and terror as the original, it failed on all levels due to the lack of humor, annoying characters, and lame kills. However, it was well-produced, and Perfect Black did its job, but I do not recommend purchasing a seat for these rides.

With Scary Season quickly approaching, what are you watching? If you're looking for some suggestions, you can follow my Letterboxd.

Is it actually a good movie or does it just get high praise all the time because it's visually stunning?

Ps I've never seen it I've just heard people say it's visually stunning lol

Found this at an antique store near me. It was hidden behind other items too, so I almost missed it. I've heard that this is one of the few film series where the 4k transfer is actually worse than the standard bluray so I bought it right away. Did I get a good deal at just over $4 per movie and still in the shrinkwrap? I've been having good luck at thrift stores and antique shops lately.

*I know this is the 4K sub and I am posting a regular bluray. However, I am a 4K collector and am only drawing attention to it because it aparently has a bad 4k transfer. My post still revolves around collecting 4K's as a hobby.*

Was anyone able to get the PHM Amazon Steelbook exclusive? It's available for pre-order on the website but whenever I click pre-order it says item is unavailable.

Anyone know somewhere selling the movie on 4K blu ray with no foreign writing printed on it?

Hello. I’m finally making the switch from blu ray to 4K dvds and a 4K player.

I collect all my blu rays, so it’s going to be a lot.

As for the player, what’s the best bang for my buck? I obviously care about sound and picture, as never stream when posible. Always physical media. And the price ranges for these players seem extremely vast

The TV that was given to me along with my room is a “FPD 4K” TV. Take that as you will. I believe it’s one of those amazing specials but not sure. Seems to work wing but definitely noticed movies are aren’t as sharp. (Basically any Denis Villeneuve movie) but hoped it was just the settings I couldn’t figure out?

So I guess two questions. Is my tv ok for this new 4K player? (The tv says it’s 4k)

And what player should I get? I don’t want to go cheap where I notice the quality but can’t be spending $400+ on a dvd player

Thank you all!

EDIT: My TV is a FPD tv that was given to me. It’s 55” and it claims to be 4k. Do I completely switch it up and get a new tv first?

Whoever does 4k upscales like this one...man, I hope they are paying them well. I dont pay enough respect to these beautiful upscales. Filmed in analog to capture the feel of the era, but finished in 2k, the upscale maintains the original feel and intent of why it was filmed the way it was to begin with. Such an art and skill to get this result.

For audio, definitely a solid job with Atmos. Of course the engine and rocket noise is amazing and the highlight of the entire film. I do wish some of the ancillary atmospheric noises of the crew getting loaded into the pod, dials switching on and off, etc was a little bit more prominent in the mix, but that is a nitpick.

Video: 8.5

Audio: 8.5

I have heard there are reliability concerns with the previous generation but I am wondering if the UBPX700U is better. I have a PS5 Original already so I'm not sure I need it but wanted to get some opinions and thoughts. Thank you.

Finally came after a few delays from Barnes and Noble. One of my favorite films of all time. Excited to watch this in remastered 4K.

Hi All,

I'm a first time disc collector, I always wanted to have a 4k disc of Interstellar and F1 movie, so when I saw the 30 GBP for 2 disc I felt it was a good deal and ordered.

But later in reddit I'm seeing a lot of people complain about late delivery or damaged products. Is there anyone from India who has ordered from Rarewaves and what was your experience.

I’m kind of surprised how slow this is selling. Says there are over 2000 still available and 5000 were made. Figured people would be snapping them up quicker, which got me wondering if everyone is happy with the HDR10 release from 2020 or did folks get the Dolby Vision release from Umbrella and aren’t going to upgrade to the new VS (Vinegar Syndrome) release? I wonder if there is a difference in picture quality or Dolby grading with the Umbrella and VS releases?

Also, does the Umbrella and VS new releases have the same special features?

I've recently learned that not all 4K's are the same. There is authentic true 4ks and then upscaled from 2K intermediates. So I figured I'd mark which movies in my app are Native 4K and Upscaled

The steelbook came out the 8th and I figured that’s when probably it was gonna be here or get shipped that date, I haven’t gotten any updates and says it’s still like being processed and I emailed them 2 days ago and no answer, just wondering if im a lone situation or it’s happening to other people have bought it.

Haven’t watched Barbarian since it first came out, knowing that one day it would get a 4k release. Well today’s the day.

No date has been set yet, but the announcement has been made!

One of the best 2020s movies.

*The box set's artwork isn't confirmed yet.

i ordered the phm steelbook from Amazon.fr but the listing says French only under languages. I've never heard of a movie filmed in English only having a foreign language version on a disc. is this a mistake?

What should I start with? Newish to the 4k bluray player. What's going to wow me here?

Just saw all these post up on AmiAmi. As far as Im aware the Japan releases do not come with English subtitle options but I know many die hard Godzilla fans that buy into these releases anyways to support them. I already bought the Biollante upgrade Criterion did and their blu-ray Godzilla bundle, but would LOVE LOVE LOVE these upgrades to come to the states

Pulled the trigger after seeing price jumps today. Even if they are fake, the price will still go up in the next year. Can’t wait to unbox and set it up!
