My LG 4K UBK80 BR player on LG 65” C7 oled TV looks great with Blu-ray disks, and terrible with DVD’s, so forced to buy all my favorite movies in Blu-ray format as the 4K upscaling on DVD’s is cringeworthy.
Count of Monte Cristo is a great movie with a great picture on my setup

Viewed on LG C7 OLED and the LG UBK90 4K Blu-ray player, I say this because I've played 4K movies on my Sony 900 and the Sony 800 4K player, and they weren't near as good, I'm going to do a head to head comparison to see if the experience is as good on it.
The background is absolutely stunning at times. There are shallow depths of field for some scenes, where you might question things, but this is filming. Actor/actresses have varying levels of sharpness (hair detail is good, actor complexion not as crisp, but I think that is too be expected, and the levels of detail vary across different scenes. Costumes (sackcloth, tartans and etc) are very good.
Overall, the 4K brings a new viewing experience to a movie I've seen probably 50 times or better. It brought back the joy of seeing the movie for the first time.

Nice to have the trilogy, Rise was good, Dawn was better and War was the best of the trilogy. Would rank just behind the Batman triology, with War coming in behind The Dark Knight, as far as individual movies. I had previously purchased War, but the trilogy was a few dollars cheaper than buying Rise and Dawn individually.

Once again Hollywood disappoints. Loved the original, the sequel, not so much.
The novelty wore off after the original, sequel storyline just didn’t leave anticipating more. Marvel seems on pumping out movies, living off the original movies.

Started watching the movie on a flight, but didn’t get to finish it, thus prompting the purchase. Like the movie. My biggest complaint is that it isn’t apparently true 4K, apparently it was mastered in 2K, like many of the Marvel comic movies, per the web. First started questioning 4K with Saving Private Ryan on my Sony X900E TV and Sony UBP-X800 4K Blu-Ray player w 4K HDMI cable, I was expecting an exceptional picture, Saving Private Ryan disappointed big time. Thor is much better, not sure how many 4K movies I’ll be buying, as the Blu-ray on a 4K upscaling player is a very impressive picture on my LG C7 and the LG UBK90 4K player.
Good movie, recommend. 4K vs Blu-ray format, jury is still out.
