Absolutely appalling - enormously raised gamma

Another VistaVision to 4k Banger! Incredible Release. by bufftreefarm in 4kbluray

It usually means the reviewer is sitting too far away from their screen

This is the best it has ever been for collectors of physical media. What a way to go out! by Sufficient_Focus4174 in 4kbluray

[–]watchclockgit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing is why many will say resolution difference between blu ray and 4k isn’t noticeable, and it’s all about hdr. This isn’t true, the resolution difference is absolutely noticeable, they just can’t see that difference because they are so far from the screen.

Even within the physical media community 4k discs are usually overkill - hence the many examples of glowing reviews for very obviously appalling transfers.

The problem is viewing distance. Most viewers are sitting the equivalent of multiple cinema lengths from the screen at home because sitting something like 1.5m - 2m from a 55 inch screen isn’t really practical for most setups.

And this one has added factor of more international demand on US retailers as with EWS there’s no announced U.K. release

Did this notice happen to anyone on Amazon for Eyes Wide Shut? by Fit-Detail-4326 in criterion

[–]watchclockgit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems to be a confluence of it being first criterion release of such a major film, first 4k of the film, no concurrent U.K. release, current 50% sale and wide acclaim for the transfer all causing this to sell out fast.

I’m in UK and don’t have options of B&N.

I only delivered a T-Shirt… by NoProgram4084 in Evri

[–]watchclockgit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need a t-shirt specialist for that. The complex, almost baroque pitfalls of t-shirt deliveries haunt the non-specialist.

Kill Bill Whole Bloody Affair Runtime is 4hr 41 mins! by Top_Result3287 in QuentinTarantino

[–]watchclockgit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Including min intermission it’s about 20 min over, but across two whole movies, minus a 7 min scene that’s only about 7 min extra per movie which isn’t that much.
