We're celebrating July 4th with some Zack Snyder action! Zack Snyder's Justice League, also known as the Snyder Cut. Zack Snyder's version and his view on the DC world is excellent in my opinion. You don't need to be a fan of the comics to realize that Zack Snyder has passionate
THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR PHYSICAL MEDIA FANS!!!
My quick thoughts on Sony taking over the rights and distribution of Disney's entire movie library for physical media releases. Disney will obviously still take care of their streaming platform by themselves. But for Sony, having
Zack Snyder's Justice League 4K UHD is our favorite and most important film on Physical Media (2021). When directors are allowed to express themselves and tell a story that deviates from the typical "comic book movie" formula, that is a special thing in our opinion.

Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment Announces Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD arrive on June 11! Featuring Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision!
PS5 or Xbox Series or a Dedicated 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player? Here's my opinion.
I'm a video quality snob, meaning that I will do everything possible to increase video and picture quality. I haven't seen one player that outperforms a Panasonic UB9000/UB820 for picture quality
Oppenheimer looks stunning on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray! The detail and resolution are incredible, and the encoding is visually lossless. Film grain resolves 100% perfectly, giving a natural and organic film look. The audio is also excellent, with crisp dialogue and absolutely massive
Dune: Part Two is stunning on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. It defines what Home Cinema is, and why I collect movies on this old disc format. I've ripped on WB before because of low 4K Blu-ray support. But this is beyond anything I was expecting.
If a movie has a 4K release, I'll always buy that. I'll only buy Blu-ray if it's definitely not getting a 4K release. Or it's a movie that I really love. But as soon as a 4K comes out I'll get that and double dip. I stopped buying DVD in 2006 for Blu-ray. Anyone else like me?

Anyone remember your experience of seeing Blu-ray for the first time coming from the DVD era and being absolutely amazed? That's the thing, the jump from LaserDisc and DVD was so BIG going to progressive 1080p with perfect 24 frame playback.

Dune: Part Two is an excellent-looking movie on 4K Blu-ray! Placing bonus content on the same disc was a concern of mine, considering disc space, and considering the film's length. However, encoding quality is high. Dune 2 is also a cleaner-looking movie than Dune 1. There is a

Get ready to relive the magic
I thought I'd take a look at Oppenheimer on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. This really does show The true power of uncompressed sound on Physical Media. I measured the sound with a UMIK2, using an RTA (Real-Time Analyzer) in REW.
I wanted to see the true peak volume of Oppenheimer in my
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray rules, I'd like to see as standard.
1. Movies on a 100GB Disc with no extras, unless movie is 90 minutes long.
2. Include a 25GB Blu-ray for extras. Special features don't need to be in 4K.
3. Movies should be released in full aspect ratios.
That's all I ask.

I don't need an excuse to watch Zack Snyder's Justice League again. But we just got the US version delivered, and hey, let's go again! It's edited so, so well, and it tells a much better story. It's a joy to watch from start to finish. Good storytelling in 2021? YEP!

Watchmen (2009) by Director Zack Snyder Tonight!!! I think Watchmen is Zack Snyder's best movie he's ever made, and it's because of his commitment to the source material. When Zack Snyder has access to an amazing story, I think he produces great work. And I think he has done an

Zack Snyder has the ability to elevate even the most mundane moment. The coffee scene with Lois Lane and the job interview scenario with The Flash. They scream "The Snyder Factor" from every pore. Small details like this get you closer to the characters of Justice League.
First impressions of the 4K. Film grain has been stripped from the presentation. Many frames smear with DNR. With this much DNR you must sharpen. But sharpening leaves ringing artifacts along the edges of faces and any hard edges. It doesn't look good. I hoped for better.
As we unravel the details for The Avatar (Collector's Edition) on 4K Ultra HD. It will contain a brand new Dolby Vision Encode, and contain 3 versions of the movie.

WOW! Physical Media is strong in Australia! We don't see this in the US anymore. Anyone remember going into Best Buy, which used to look like this? CDs, DVDs, VHS, Collection Sets, and more. I could spend hours looking down each aisle, now it's filled with refrigerators.
I tested Dune: Part Two on 4K Blu-ray last night. Good lord the bass is crazy! It goes hard! When those harvester machines drop, it's scary bass. The overall mix seems louder than the first one. It sounds 2 to 4db louder. I listened at -6 main volume and that hits hard.
Given the increasing presence of ads on streaming platforms, do you think physical media, such as 4K Ultra HD discs, are becoming more appealing to viewers who prefer an uninterrupted and high-quality viewing experience?

Tonight we start all of Christopher Nolan's movies that were filmed using IMAX Cameras in as high quality as possible, 4K Ultra HD! The first movie on the list is The Dark Knight (2008), which I consider the best comic book movie ever made. Interestingly enough, Christopher Nolan

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) holds a special place in my heart for so many reasons. It's a movie that takes me back to a time when I was utterly captivated by the magic of cinema.
First, I must talk about the dream team behind this film. Steven Spielberg and
Avatar: The Way of Water is 192 mins long. If Disney release this on 4K with a 66GB disc, the target bit-rates can only be 36 Mbps. I've ran some encoding tests from the prores trailer and it requires 68Mbps for visually lossless. They need to use 2 discs or one 100GB disc.

Hopefully, they saw the backlash that James Cameron has got for removing film grain from his movies and are making sure film grain is in tacked. Removing grain from film should be illegal.
Okay, after seeing the first of James Camerons movies on 4K, Aliens. It's made me think about who they're for. I'm not saying this theory is correct, but I may be on to something. And this is just a theory.
James Cameron took the path of least resistance. What does that mean? It
Twitter will compress this image, but this should give you a good idea of the amount of detail of Titanic 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. I think the detail is intense. These close and midrange shots all have this level of detail.
A stunning transfer from Disney, and everyone involved should be proud. This transfer retains the look of organic film stock, and along with it resolves film grain to absolute perfection. Black levels never crush and preserves the filmic black level detail with excellence. HDR is
The Abyss is not just a movie; it's an experience! This is one of the most gorgeous sci-fi movies I've ever seen, and yes! It's made in the 80's! The 80's were, for me, a golden time for cinema. The 1980s were a decade of incredible cinematic innovation and memorable blockbuster

Let me guess, it doesn't meet the Hollywood agenda. So 100 million is risky. But, The Marvels had a budget of $274.8 million and I'm sure that was green lit without concern. The issue is... what Hollywood thinks is good and what viewers think is good are two different things.
Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘MEGALOPOLIS’ is being deemed by some studio execs to be too experimental & not commercial enough to acquire & spend $100M on marketing.

We had the itch to watch The Batman (2022) Tonight. I'm a big fan of Se7en, I love its style. I think it's the best detective movie ever made. I like its dark, disturbing, and moody atmosphere. Modern movies (in my opinion) lack this. It's not just about how dark an image is, but

We watched 4 episodes last night. Episode 3 is excellent. Going to watch another 4 tonight. I'll be honest, I wish all modern Star Wars had this level of quality. If they maintain the same level of quality, Andor is easily the best Star Wars show out there.
Watching Star Wars: Andor: The Complete First Season (2022) on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Tonight! I heard some good things about this show, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Are they 30-minute episodes or an hour? If it's an hour, I might be able to squeeze in 3 episodes tonight.
Any chance we could get a 3:10 to Yuma 4K scan from the original camera negative? The current 4K is from a 2KDI with horrific DNR applied. This destroys the integrity of the movie. I'd encode it personally, visually lossless with no DNR. The 4K release is very poor.
