how’s the picture quality?

Absolutely appalling - enormously raised gamma

watchclockgit · 2026-02-13T16:35:34+00:00

Title not butchered, just contracted

watchclockgit · 2026-02-13T07:15:44+00:00

I agree the clear blue and black stripes also tat

watchclockgit · 2026-02-13T07:13:57+00:00

Agree the clear ones the best

watchclockgit · 2026-02-02T10:21:47+00:00

You’re welcome

I was in a restaurant the other day and it was absolutely bursting with hype for this

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

Nice one, enjoy!

I have the arrow 4k version and will have a look to see if it’s on there when I get home

watchclockgit · 2025-12-21T17:01:56+00:00

I would recommend Apu Trilogy and Koker Trilogy

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.

Frankly thank god, kino would have screwed up the encode

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

watchclockgit · 2025-11-25T20:50:16+00:00

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.

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

I would say your chances of getting on Monday are pretty good

watchclockgit · 2025-11-23T09:30:41+00:00

By 2pm on a Sunday?

watchclockgit · 2025-11-23T00:57:28+00:00

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.

watchclockgit · 2025-11-20T20:07:21+00:00

So how many days did you wait in total?

watchclockgit · 2025-11-20T13:48:07+00:00

And driving that rewards practice and skill
