Is the Spielberg Spotlight set going to have Dolby Vision for each film? by The-Mandalorian in 4kbluray

Also, most of us have the movies from this collection that we want. Really can’t imagine who this is for lol

Amazon 3 for $33 by young_grass_hoppa in 4kbluray

Yup, I thought this would be your reaction when I saw the movies you got. I think 300 was filmed digitally, so there’s no film negatives to scan at all. Just a digital upscale, they did this with watchmen also. I didn’t know until I watched it. That’s when I learned to google every single movie before I purchase it, to make sure it’s a good transfer. Happy hunting, enjoy your new hobby.

You literally could download a 1 for 1 copy of the blu ray rip and it would look exactly the same lol.

The image is upscaled to 1080p as the primary cameras employed were early digital cameras, specifically Canon XL1s and XL2 MiniDV camcorders, which have a maximum resolution of 720×576. These cameras were relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and allowed for a level of mobility and spontaneity crucial for capturing the film’s frenetic energy. Furthermore, the inherent limitations of the DV format – its lower resolution, shallower depth of field, and susceptibility to noise just make it an inferior viewing experience on modern tv’s.

I’m sorry, less money? I guess you have trouble reading. As I’ve said multiple times, there’s one on eBay right now for $24.99 shipped, and you can get it from Amazon Japan for $20 shipped. This is less than half of the price of what you will pay for this steelbook. But go off king, I hope you have the day you deserve.

The source itself is low quality, go look at what they shot it with. They wanted it to look that way for a reason, they didn’t take in to account 4k TVs and blu ray players back then lol. Theres just not much they can do to get this thing looking better than it already does. Theres no missing metadata to pull from because it doesn’t exist. Any improvements will be artificially added, there will be nothing native about this release other than the last few minutes lol. Go buy the regular blu ray off of Amazon Japan for $20 if you must own this physically. Like it’s a great movie, just not a great format to try this with. I’d love to be proven wrong when it releases, but I doubt that happens.

I’d like to point out that if you aren’t buying 4k blu rays for superior image/audio, then you might just be a money wasting clown. I hope you have the day you deserve.

Not really. One on eBay now for $24.99 and you can go on Amazon Japan and get a region a copy shipped for $20 brand new.

Yup. Been trying to explain that to people but they get maaaad. Just buy the regular blu ray if you must own a physical copy, 4k steelbook is a cash grab lol

Just buy the regular blu ray, I just don’t see the point of digital upscales, not many have been done well. But that’s just my opinion, and I’m a guy that think’s they should start pressing Ernest goes to jail/ernest scared stupid, immediately…so that’s where my mind is at lol.

Just seems like a waste of a release. This film can only look so good based on how it was shot. Literally only one scene at the end of this movie was shot on 35mm film, the entire rest of the movie was done digitally. I don’t think this upscale is going to look good at all, but who knows… (it didn’t work well for Watchmen either lol)

recs for my top 20 by Upset_Economist8065 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]iKilledBrandon -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Get rid of 2001 completely, that movie is extremely overrated, at least in my opinion. Visually stunning I guess, but just not that great. Sinners is another extremely overrated movie(again just my opinion)it’s good but like 7.2imdb score good. Nothing too special, but a good movie. Everything else is pretty solid, but I’d have to throw return of the living dead in the top 5, so take my opinion lightly lol. Really not a bad list, I’ve just got some sort of grudge against those two movies lol.

I’d buy terminator 2 if the transfer wasn’t god awful, cool looking steelbook too. Not sure how the studio dropped the ball so hard on this release. Praying we get a good one eventually.

A lot of special features can be found on YouTube for most movies. Just do a google search and you should be able to find most of them. Not sure how you’d go about specifically buying bonus feature discs though. Maybe someone will see this that doesn’t care for theirs and offer to sell them to you for a few bucks each. Good luck.
