It wasn't like I was going to buy the movies yet again on Blu ray, especially when I saw the " Mastered In 4k ". This is like the old " Where's the Beef " Wendy's commercial. Where's the 4K ?
I agree. Depending on the source, it's hard to know what improvement a 4K release will provide over simple upscaling. Since both The Fifth Element and Leon were just re-released with Atmos encoding, is there anything worth doing a 4K re-master?
True. Your current setup might look just as good upscaled through your AVR or Projector with out buying a replacement 4K disc, other than getting Atmos channels. Sad thing is some of the Manufacturers are resorting to putting the Atmos channels only on 4K discs.
That's great! But make sure it has Atmos.I just bought the bluray with Atmos for all of $8 before the holiday. Absolutely blew me away! But I have yet to watch it on my OPPO. Guess what's high in the priority list? Now we just need LOTR in UHD Atmos... (well, maybe not "just"...)Man! that whole idea just sends shivers down my spine!
Prometheus is now listed as coming on 4k UHD BR. Along with another favorite of mine - Ex Machina. I've currently got 8 movies in my Amazon wish list that are coming on 4K, 6 of them new ( or new to me ) !
Super excited for this one. Short of perhaps an Alien 4k announcement as well I couldn't be more thrilled.
