I just watched Prometheus again the 3d version on my new sony vpl-vw 550

Great movie, although I don't have the 3D version.

blu-ray.com certainly agrees ( although they wonder about a 4K version ) -

" Moana's 1080p transfer is flat-out gorgeous, maybe one of the most vibrant the format has seen. Colors are resplendent. Blue waters sparkle and natural greens are lush, both standing apart against many of the earthier tones that define much of the rest of the environments. Beyond that, fiery oranges dazzle and leap off the screen. Support colors -- Moana's multicolored pet, for example -- shine. Color saturation, balance, and brilliance are all in order. The image is sharp and revealing. The Blu-ray presents the animation's most intimate natural and character textures with amazing efficiency and clarity. Environments are crisp, characters well defined and organic. Hair flows with incredible precision, seemingly down to individual curls or strands. Woods, woven rugs, attire, sandy beaches, every element the film has on offer dazzles. Blacks are healthy and deep. Artifacts are zero. The image is flat-out tremendous, maybe the finest certainly in the animated realm and easily one of the top on the format. One can only wonder how a higher resolution UHD with HDR colors could have improved on it (get on board, Disney!). "

" Allied " was good - nicely done. The 4K Blu Ray looked outstanding. And the audio was good - LFE during the London bombing was easily felt in my room. I'm looking forward to re - watching this with my wife.

Some of these newer Blu Rays look so good upscaled to 4K on my projector, I'm not sure I'd care that much, unless they can do a really good job with the 4K version.

I watched " American Sniper " last night. 2nd time I've watched it. Great movie, and it sure looked good on my RS4500 ! Bradley Cooper does a great job IMO.

Watched " John Wick " on 4K last night. Hadn't actually sat down and watched the entire 4K version. Looked mighty good, fun movie. Now I'm looking forward to # 2 !!

I watched the extended cut of " Gladiator " last night. I enjoy this movie still ! Looked really good, but if they ever come out with a 4k remaster, I'm on it in a flash !

Watched Passengers. It was way better than I expected based on the ratings and word of mouth. But I like Prometheus too and that seems to get a lot of hate. Go figure.

My 4K copy should be here this week. I also really like Prometheus. Looking forward to seeing this.

It is extremely sharp in my opinion.    A couple of sites mention that it was shot using ARRI Alexa 65 cameras in ARRIRAW (6.5K) format, and mastered to a true 4K Digital Intermediate.
