Perfect Movie - Disappointing 4K Transfer
on March 24, 2020
Posted by: AniMill
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of my all-time favorite movies - and I was so excited to get the new 4K version...but, man, what a disappointment:
The resolution is fine, yet the colors-correction, HDR, and soundtrack left me wanting. The blacks were so muddy, as to be nonexistent, if the darks were deliberately crushed in the film-print, then they should have gone back to the original negatives to re-time the whole 4K. Additionally, the overall color-shading had no defining scheme. With all its unique times in history, they should have gone back and applied unique color-schemes to help define those moments. When I think of a movie with a great color-scheme, IT (ch1) jumps out. It's HDR and color palette are insanely wide and great (Just check out the scene where Beverly's father is sitting in the living room shadows. He's completely visible, but only just enough to lift him from complete black. And the sky is not "blue," it's teal...giving us an off-kilter feel). I seriously wish that Zemeckis had allowed the color-timer's do their work with the original negative...that is, unless it was truly shot with crushed blacks and washed-out white. :-(
