I wasn’t aware of this either (me, you, HH & JBT spoke about this in the GC too). And tbh I didn’t realise the original Universal 4K scan was universally panned!. I was proper impressed with it and loved how rich the colours and details looked.
A lot of the comments on that comparison video argue that their Universal copies are nothing like that so I’m curious as to what copy he’s using. I might do some comparing over the weekend and see if I notice the differences.
Can't say I realised it was panned either, and also thought it looked great when I last saw the Universal version... it's not until you see them side-by-side that you realise how much better Arrow's looks, otherwise I probably never would've noticed lol. Same goes for The Matrix, which was also recently discussed on here... I know the blu-ray was notoriously panned for them overdoing it with the green tint, but it honestly never really bothered me. However, after seeing these comparisons recently, I now think it looks terrible when compared to the 4K.
Ah ok, this makes sense then. I had zero problems with it before. He made me think I was going crazy
I’m so funny with the matrix because it’s the one film I kept all the editions for including VHS. I always liked the Blu Ray. And I’m happy with the 4K too. But DVD was always my preferred picture. However the Blu Ray and 4K show more detail so it’s swings and roundabouts with that for me. Can watch it so many ways with different hues or details lol
its still a cool edition and worthy to have, but apparently the video about how its supposedly an improvement over the initial 4k is absolute BS (from reading the comments)
