What a wholesome film! Baseball and boys seem timeless, so I guess that’s going to be one reason why this movie hold so well. There humor, mischief, excitement, and real heartfelt moments in this movie. It’s also extremely quotable. Looks good in HD.

Staple for eighties family entertainment. The transfer here for 4K wasn’t the greatest I’ve seen, but it’s still a dramatic improvement from the over bright, washed Blu-ray.

I was more of a SNES kid than SEGA, but I did cross over from time to time. I didn’t expect much from this movie, and came out enjoying it. I understand the 4K is an upscale. Looked and sounded fine. No problems.

Full-frame viewing (not 16:9)
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: DL1234
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Danny Elfman score with the animated opening brings back memories from after school during childhood... The picture seems to be in full-frame (how it was back in the day) but imagery is colorful and not washed out. I was also pleasantly surprised how ‘Mask of the Phantasm’ and ‘SubZero’ were also included as bonus discs and digital copies. This exceeded my expectations.

Death Star under construction

Verified Purchase:Yes
In Star Wars chronology, ‘Rogue One’ fits between episodes III (from prequels) and episode IV (‘A New Hope’). Depending on your HT set-up, you might tell from the opening that the quality of the 4K disc surpasses the Blu-ray easily. However, the detail improvement can hurt the CGI effects by making it slightly more artificial SOMETIMES. Good movie... There are even a couple of appearances by Darth Vader.

Great transfer!!! This a terrific blockbuster from back in the day. Don’t take it to seriously. It has some cheese factor. But Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum make a good pair against the intergalactic threat.

‘Gattaca’ is futuristic but not too “SCI-FI”. It’s definitely different and the pacing is slow/steady. The Blu-ray already looked fantastic. Colors on HDR are supposed to be more accurate (and they are). But if you already own (and like) the Blu-ray, I would wait to upgrade at a low price or sale. Not because it isn’t worth it (that’s your call), but I somewhat frequently have seen this release on sale. Steelbook is also offered, but you’ll have to check it out to see if you like the artwork and color (brown-toned).

“Eat Hearty!!”
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: DL1234
Verified Purchase:Yes
Some may disapprove of this movie because of it’s grainy and gritty style and dark cinematography, but that’s the intent. This 4K disc is Upscaled from 2K DI (not true UHD). However, HDR helps with the color scheme. Blu-ray is still fine but I would recommend the 4K for a slight improvement (if that matters to you). IMO, 4K the best viewing and audio is better with Atmos/7.1 (than LPCM 5.1).

Where is HDR 10+ ?
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: DL1234
Verified Purchase:Yes
The only issue I have with the disc is that it is supposed to be HDR 10+. The settings on my tv, however, don’t show this. Though, I did not have this problem with ‘The Shining’ (1980). (I have a Samsung 4K UHD tv and Panasonic player.) Regardless, 4K still looks great and story has some entertainment value.

This was the best experience that I have had seeing this film. Color timing changes were great and audio was terrific. Excellent purchase!

Understand color timing concerns of other reviews. (I’m not sure I like 1989 Batman’s 4K disc - also from Warner - more than the older Blu-ray visually.) Though, I welcome the change for this film. (It seems more natural. E.g. cooler correction for overly warm.) The audio for the Blu-ray is 5-channel (but Dolby True HD and not DTS). On my sound system (with soundbar and its encoding), I do notice slight difference between the discs. Then, everyone has their own my setup.
