Unwrapped F9 this morning and got digital 4K Bourne Supremacy free with it for registering it with MyUniversalRewards. So, you know, if you're doing a digital library too, go get that.

DiabolikDVD had one UHD of Cronenberg's Crash left so I snagged it :getin:

I haven't seen that movie in a few years so it'll be cool to watch it again.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Hey thread.
I just got myself an LG 55 inch CX for Christmas.

I have a real hankering to buy the 4K UHD of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (mostly because after watching the Witcher and Wheel of Time, I really want to rematch LoTR.)
Are they worth it?
Is there any other UHD's that are must owns?

After watching it on Tuesday I’m going to say The Thing is a must own UHD. I almost didn’t buy it because I’m really pleased with how my Shout Factory blu looks, but I did because it’s The Thing. The only downside is the spacecraft is more obviously a hand sketch than ever, but I can totally live with that for how excellent the goopey creatures, explosions and flamethrowers look.

I think they were pretty well regarded, yeah. The original trilogy had a lot of miniature shots that should look great.

The question about best UHDs comes up fairly often. At this point I would say just think of your favorite movies, see if they’re on UHD, and double-check a review to make sure it’s not one of the few dud releases. Older movies shot on film look great, new movies look great, most releases look great. Some movies aren’t worth the upgrade from a Blu-Ray but I think all of them are from DVD (even the dreaded Terminator 2).

The only reason I haven't upgraded, is because I literally just got the Blu-ray about a week before the UHD got announced :negative:

Yea all four movies in that set are major upgrades, so it's great especially if you're like me and you love all four. But even if you only like two of the four it's probably worth it.

That was something I didn't take into account when I bought The Thing UHD but it definitely has a lot of flames and explosions and also the type of stylized lighting that really looks great with HDR. In general the film benefits from HDR a lot more than I was anticipating.

My wife and I made it a tradition to watch the first three Indiana Jones films, which we just finished.

We don’t have the UHDs yet, so I was wondering how the higher resolutions take away from the experience when it comes to the matte painting backdrops.

So Savage Harbor sold out within 2 minutes, which sucks rear end. The new AGFA release is Monster of Camp Sunshine, so I pre-ordered that instead.

I never saw the Blu-Rays and it’s been ages since I watched my DVDs, but I didn’t notice anything jarring. Everything looks “correct” and fits together. They restored the original matte painting for the vehicle flying off a cliff in Raiders; from what I saw the BR had a very distracting digital replacement of it for some bizarre reason.

Crystal Skull looks awful but that’s not the fault of the UHD.
