8551094861682868177.jpgA WORLD OF EXTRAS TO DISCOVER:
Only on Blu-Ray: The Special Effects (24 min)

Only on 4K:

Audio commentary with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven (original version)
Total Excess: How Carolco Changed Hollywood (60 min)
Pen Your Mind: The Soundtrack of Act of Force (21 min)
The Dreamers: The Development of Feat (9 min)

We are in 2084 and for the worker Doug Quaid ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) the obsession is only one: to go to Mars. In addition to normal scheduled travel, there are also companies such as Recall capable of implanting in the memory of their customers the memory of weeks of vacation spent on the red planet. Doug turns to Recall and there the trouble begins because the technicians discover that something is wrong in his head…

Trivia from the set:

Feat of force is based on Philip Dick's short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale", translated into Italian as "Total memory";
The film received 3 Oscar nominations in the special effects, sound and sound editing categories, winning the statuette for Best Special Effects;
Academy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith scored the film. He also worked with director Paul Verhoeven on the film Basic Instinct;

Quaid is a construction worker obsessed with the red planet. Only when he finally manages to contact Recall does he discover that he has already undergone a memory implant and that his life is all a lie ...

In the role of Quaid's wife, a very young and newcomer Sharon Stone who two years later, just with Veroheven , will be launched as a sex-symbol thanks to the thriller Basic Instinct.

    What makes it better quality than the UK release, both 4K releases are directly from Studio Canal?

    I actually own both editions, so I can tell you first hand that the quality difference is there, the big issue with the UK release is the horrible macroblocking where the encode bitrate takes a huge nosedive, noticeable in a few scenes but particularly at the very end where the fade out to white happens, it looks absolutely awful and is very jarring. The Dolby Vision metadata layer does help smooth out some of the problems a bit but the Italian version is the one to have. I bought the UK collectors edition, saw the problems and then read about the Italian release and ordered that.

    Shes drop dead gorgeous and she also does a lot with an otherwise one dimensional character.

    Can't justify paying to upgrade my UK version for better PQ at certain parts of the film? Doesn't seem worth the money but maybe I'm wrong.

    Even with all this super duper resolution, I'll never know what the hell was going on in the film.

    Bored Blue-collar worker pays for a high-end virtual reality fantasy, gets a high-end virtual reality fantasy. The ending confirms the premise, just as the same director confirmed the premise of 'Star Ship Troopers' with the final sequence in that movie too.

    Sounds like the version to own.

    Does it have ray tracing?

    How does it compare to the 4k DV version on iTunes ?

    jimel Author
    I can only tell you iTunes will naturally have a lower bit rate and lossy audio. I dont know if the encode issues affect this version.

    Subtitles only in Italian --- according to details on back of blu ray case.

    Plus no Dojby Atmos in this version -- although not used to much advantage in other available version (edited)

    HD quality on Google Play to buy for £5.99 What is the hype about watching a movie in 4K quality? £9 saved. (edited)

    The resolution itself is only a small piece of puzzle. I have a reasonably nice AV set up which physical media allows me to take the most advantage of.

    In the main, 4k discs offer uncompressed sound (think MP3 vs CD) and better colour range/depth. Quite often, the original actual film stock and /or negatives (as well as the audio) have been restored and cleaned up too.

    FWIW, I have this on Blu-ray (HD) but am still willing to upgrade/double dip as it's one of my faves. Absolutely to each their own though.
