Most of my Bluray collection is the typical action/sci-fi/horror fair but I have a few classics as well.
Last weekend I slid in Scarface. You know that feeling when something just clicks? Even though I have seen it several times I was completed absorbed, as if it was the first spin. Many people have no interest in watching a movie more than once. Thankfully I'm not one of them.

Watching a good movie you like more than once can reveal things you didn't see the first time. Some movies have to be viewed more than once ( Memento and Inception are two that come to mind ). I haven't seen Scarface in years - great flick !

Will be interested to hear how your projector does with the Arrival UHD disc.   With Gamma D in my RS500 it was unwatchable in HDR due to how dark it is mastered.   I had to switch to BT.2020 SDR.

I did have better luck with this title in HDR when testing some of the new custom gammas that Manni is creating in the other forum.

I guess one question I have is what exactly in a dark movie like this requires HDR ? Sully is another example - there is no reason to think HDR makes Sully look better. It ain't " Pacific Rim ". Nothing explodes ( except in a brief dream sequence ). I will probably watch Arrival using 4K SDR Rec. 709. I'm guessing that Jeff of Accucal will be able to improve the HDR preset so it isn't as dark either. Once he gets here !

Watched Arrival on 4K Sat. night with a bunch of friends - great film ! It was dark - obviously that is the way it was shot ( my wife thinks to show how dark humans are when they are afraid ). Anyway, with the HDR pre-set on the RS4500, it was perfectly watchable in mid laser. I asked the one person there who had seen it in the theater, and he said it looked the same, so that's about all you can ask.

I watched " 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi " last night. I like a good war movie, and a good true story, and I thought this movie was very well done. I'm not a fan of Michael Bay movies at all, but this was good. Great picture and audio too.

I watched " Salt " last night, which I had never seen before. Pretty good film. I'm not going to call the 4K disc reference though. Decent, but not up to recent 4K disc standards.
