28 Days Later (2002) (4K Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Flloydo
- Start date
I watched the blu ray recently. absolutley dreadful, I can't imagine this will look much bettter as 28 Days Later was primarily shot on the Canon XL1, a consumer-grade MiniDV camcorder recording in 480p standard definition. Would like to be proved wrong though.
Feel the exact same. And that dreadfulness is part of the experience so I can’t see how that’s improved. I like the back art though
Regardless of the transfer quality, it's still a nice option for those of us who missed the original steel.
I'm the first to admit it's a net positive if the transfer improves on the the original Bluray.
I just can't see it being better by a significant margin, otherwise just release as a Blu-ray only steel? All parties get the win then. Honestly, if they'd have just released it as a BR Steel for 2025/26 and be done with it, without a doubt it would still have flown off the shelves and most aficionados would have been happy.
Super interested in how this turns though.

Tuesday 1st September release date apparently (Perhaps because Monday 31st August Bank holiday?)
Dolby Vision & Atmos (approved by Boyle)
This is getting absolutely torn to shreds on social media. Someone even finding an audio from last year with Boyle and the interviewer says he can’t wait for the 4K and Boyle replies laughing saying he has no idea what it will improve. Apart from the final part that was filmed on film. He says that part will look nice vibrant 
Heard the same audio. We all said it when it was announced didn't we mate... ultimately it'll be on the studios head but Boyle putting his name to it does make me intrigued why he'd do that hahaThis is getting absolutely torn to shreds on social media.

I re-watched the Blu-ray release couple of weeks ago and I'm curious to see what they have done to the PQ to justify a 4K UHD release 
Great film, but the PQ is like pre-VHS

It’s literally the last scene that will have any kind of visual improvement. I think the sound is really the only thing they can improve on the whole filmI re-watched the Blu-ray release couple of weeks ago and I'm curious to see what they have done to the PQ to justify a 4K UHD release
