I hope they keep favorite titles coming remastered in 4K. Watched a little bit of " Moulin Rouge " last night. That movie would look spectacular remastered in 4K, with a full blow Dolby Atmos soundtrack!

Is Chicago on 4K yet?

I think it was released in Asia, but not the US.

Scott pilgrim vs the world

I just finished viewing this for the first time.  Picture and audio are both great.

Just recognizing so many actors was half the fun.  Chris Evans and Brie Larson?

I haven't had a chance to watch the 4K disc yet. Fun movie though.

Just arrived!

Just watched Looper UHD disc.   I am so glad I rented it instead of purchase.   Some scenes were like someone turned up a brightness knob to 11, and others where the same was done to contrast.  It was so uneven.

Now I need to watch the HD Blu-Ray again.

What are you using for tone mapping? I didn’t experience any of what you are describing

Same here. It looked great on my RS4500 and Lumagen doing the DTM, although I only watched parts of it. The soundtrack is certainly off the rails on the 4K UHD disc.

Looper review - 

" Looper was shot on 35 mm photochemical film using Panavision Panaflex Gold II and Millennium XL2 cameras with Panavision anamorphic lenses. It was originally finished as a 2K Digital Intermediate at the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. For its release in Ultra HD, Sony has rescanned the camera negative in native 4K and upsampled the VFX shots to create a new 4K Digital Intermediate, complete with new grading for high dynamic range (both HDR10 and HDR10+ are included on this disc). This UK edition is by Entertainment One. (A US release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is expected later this year or early next.) It should be noted that Looper has always had a gritty, high-contrast appearance, with bleached highlights and many scenes that are slightly desaturated to create a very particular “hard-boiled” look. That look has been preserved well here in 4K, albeit with a notable improvement in fine detail and crisp texturing for non-VFX shots—detail and texture that’s readily apparent in virtually everything on the screen. And when it comes to the VFX, Johnson and Yedlin have designed them not to have too much detail. They’re full of atmospherics, with just enough resolution to sell the effect but not so much that every shot looks uncanny valley in the way of The Phantom Menace. So the upsampling here works just fine. Grain is light to medium, but organic always. The expanded contrast of HDR results in truly black blacks, but more shadow detail in interiors and night shots, while the highlights are bold, again enhancing the slightly bleached look. Colors are stylized but vibrant and well nuanced within those parameters. This isn’t a 4K image that you’d traditionally call reference-grade, but’s it’s absolutely perfect for this particular film. (I strongly suspect that Yedlin and Johnson were involved and/or approved each step of this remaster.)"
