4K UHD disc has Dolby Vision

 

[Punker76]

Like it, it's the same art used on the VHS they sent out as promotional material.

There is a Vision and Atmos logo
I upscaled image

 

[samdavies]

Yay for DV, gutted there's no imax ratio though..

 

[Lenny Nero]

the front looks really good... you all should buy good taste

Exactly, it's like there were 2-3 boring ugly WWA steelbooks, and MantaLab already revealed theirs - that's how good this is, especially the front artwork!

 

[Daubt]

WTF....who's behind these steelbooks or full slips (see Manta's Furiosa e.g.) with cookie cutter collages....this sh*&t ain't cute.

Oh that’s a downer. Was fantastic in imax. It’s going to annoy me not having the extra footage

 

[mikeab07]

Pleased to see this getting the steelbook release without the drawn out will they /wont they like there was with Prey..

 

[Flloydo]

This is the kind of art blufans would use on a DL and everyone would love it

 

[Stu123]

Would be better with a title.

Was there actual extra footage, longer/exclusive scenes, or just back to glorified academy aspect ratio of 1.37:1?

Just the aspect ratio: digital IMAX of 1.90:1

I mean more footage because of the aspect ratio

Agreed. I was really hopeful for it, as the director openly pushed for it to be on the home video release. Maybe it'll be on D+, better than nothing.

Ratio does not affect run time so no more or less footage it removes the black bars and there is more picture in the frame

That is very likely. I'm pretty sure the 4 Avengers films have IMAX editions that are Disney+ exclusive.

Really wish the extended cut of Spiderman no way home got a physical release

D+ has the 2D IMAX exclusives for every MCU film that has the sequences. They were on the 3D discs right up to Black Widow (except for Infinity War and Endgame), but since then it's be D+ only. They also have Lightyear in IMAX, but I think that's the lot.

Have you seen the extended cut of NWH? There's nothing really worthwhile added in there imo. The IMAX version however, that looks fantastic on BCORE. Same goes for FFH. HC isnt in IMAX

I’ve re read my comment over a few times and I’m not sure why you are misunderstanding what I mean

Maybe I should’ve said picture but I know what I meant

 

[apsmith21]

Front looks great imo. Just wish it had a title and was framed a little better (not zoomed in as much, giving it room to breathe).

Reminds me of some of the stuff that HCG puts out

I haven't seen the extended cut, but always personally prefer the extended editions over the regular cut.
