Don't order from Amazon, their packaging for steelbooks is a thin card envelope. I'd received a lot of refunds for damaged steelbooks, so they told me that my account was under investigation, cheeky sods.

Who cares about about blu-ray, it's all about the 4K HDR.

Blu ray is best for holding the non 4k special features to save space on the 4k disc so you get the best quality transfer and avoid slight 4k compression to add extras.

Usually if it's a 100GB disc you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Judgement Day

 

[Lenny Nero]

Just had an opportunity to order 1 steelbook on Amazon, but no, I went to try 3, because I need 5 for everyone, and then that 1 one was gone too.
Screw it, they're gonna be laying around for $15 later anyway...

Watched this 4K release at BFI IMAX Waterloo last night.

Thought it was really good. Still plenty of grain there for those that feel strongly about that.

There was a couple of minute clip from Cameron before the start talking about the film it was originally filmed on and how it enabled them to film more at night but introduced more noise or grain than he’d have liked so they’ve cleaned it up a bit.

To my eyes it wasn’t completely scrubbed though. Watched T2 straight after it as they had them back to back and you could see a big difference.

I totally agree and my friends also. We went to see it in the Theater and it was definitely not a Pixar movie like T2 in 4K, there was grain visible and the sound mix was fantastic.

Why would an animated Pixar film (or from any studio) have grain? Weird comparison

T2 for instance looks like a Pixar movie
(and those movies dont have any grain)

I guess he’s talking about smoothing/smoothness?

I still find it very odd comparing it to a Pixar film regardless how smooth they look but hey ho

Appears as though the disc will have Dolby Vision and Atmos, according to the back of the US amaray.

Actually a perfect comparison, because all Cameron makes the last decade is CGI cartoons, and tries hard to turn all his previous films into that.

But why would avatar have grain? Lol come on. It’s a terrible comparison

I want clean image in films like those. Not f**king grain.

They don't have grain in Avatar?
