4K Blu-ray Deals & Offers

You can still buy record players. Records have been around since the 1890s and are still here over 100 years later. The thirst for physical media wont die. There will always be a niche for physical film media and devices will be made for this need too play them on. The human need for touch and physicality to things will become a stronger niche in a world where it begins to disappear and thus a resurgence with physical film media much like vinyl with music will periodically recur.

We've pretty much peaked with visual fidelity. Unless you have a huge screen you can't appreciate 4k. So every change from here is negligible. Bluray is peak visual fidelity unless you have a 50 " + tv

You can get scart adaptors Hdmi to scart adaptor amazon

Indeed. Plus another thing to bear in mind is that you might well have a VHS player and a few VHS films, but would you really want to watch them? The latest UHD films might look great today, but how will they look in 20 years? DVDs used to look perfect and at the time I couldn't imagine anything better - now I try to avoid them. It doesn't matter what you buy, everything becomes obsolete in the end.

You’ve kinda touched on something there about the players, I’ve still got the odd VHS film in the cupboard, I’ve still got a VHS player but I can’t use them as my latest TV doesn’t have a scart input. Granted it’s not quite the same when talking about DVD,Blu-ray & 4K Blu-ray but it does prove a point to a degree though that physical doesn’t always mean forever.

Its a strange one really, the standard version is only HD, but this ‘unseen’ version is in 4K

i luv it so so much! thx~

Bit more blood in this version if you're showing kids

One of my favourite movies, ever.

The first film is only showing as Standard HD on my iPhone X ??? However, the link you have takes me to the 4K :/

I'm taking a moment to imagine Scully in all of this...

Not a patch on “Minder on the Orient Express”

I read that as "Mulder" On the Orient Express and thought it was some kind of X-Files crossover where the aliens did it.

I enjoyed it but David Suchet nailed it with his performance. I think it's my all time favorite Poirot episode (TV series)

Just awful film

Ha ha I get giddy when I see the pure HMV members in the titles and don’t read anything other detail

Yeah read the details at the top lol

Netflix 4k content is poor and for the most part lacks Atmos so its not really comparable at all

I don't have broadband that's quite fast enough to stream 4K at the moment so I still buy physical media. £25 for a new release is ridiculous for a two/three hour film, I agree. I can buy a game for less than that and put a hundred hours into it depending on the game. But I did manage to get Tomb Raider 4K for £17.50 which is about my limit for a film. There's ebay deals out there and you can always sell it on once you've watched.

Fair enough. Yeah £25 is insane and £19.99 and I also struggle with 2 for £30 but £9.99 is good. HDR on Thor looked awesome. I’m not fussed about realorfake4k, fake 4K is better than Blu-ray especially with HDR or Dolby Vision.

That scene when the GI's first get to the top of the cliff though, can't wait to watch THAT in 4K.

Haha

* Desmond Dross

Andrew Garfield proves that he can act in this movie, shame he’s career is laden with the Spider-Man dross

enjoyable film

£20 for logan 4k and fantastic beasts 4k! Heat OP. :)

Always better to pay in the home country currency - on holiday as well - that way you pay officially currency exchange rates rather than whatever rate they fancy charging.

2 for £30 on 4k on amazon.co.uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/promotion/landingpage/A13UM53Z1T7IOY?ref_=plp_aw_dp_imp_A13UM53Z1T7IOY

Isn't Deadpool a Fox/Marvel movie? As far as I'm aware, Warner does DC, not Marvel. If the promotion is Warner only, surely Deadpool wouldn't be included.

Cancel the order and you’ll get them even cheaper with the 4 for €40 promo. Works out at around £40 delivered. https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/promotion/landingpage/A3DNJS1JKV880F?ie=UTF8&ref_=plp_pc_rd_A3DNJS1JKV880F :D

£6 for the Blu-ray version (2d &3d on Amazon)

Umm yes I clearly do have an idea what I’m talking about. Like I originally said, the bitrate is a moot point. I’ve watched loads of amazon and Netflix content and invariably get artefacts on dark areas of the screen, on iTunes I get none (I’m not alone in saying this), the way iTunes shrinks down the original file is second to none (in my opinion). I used to have loads of blurays and 4K blurays, and the difference in quality is so minimal that they are all now sold.

Totally agree. Although T3 has its issues, as did salvation, Genisys apart from having a few good set pieces is by far the worse in my humble opinion. Let’s hope the reboot sets everything straight, but I shall suppress my hopes.......,

umm you clearly have no idea what you are talking about they all use the same encoder x264 quality goes like so 1) Amazon 2) Netflix 3) iTunes here are a few for you to compare from my 80TB collection all directly encoded by the provider e.g. straight remux Amazon Format profile : High@L4 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, RefFrames : 4 frames Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 13.6 Mb/s Maximum bit rate : 15.0 Mb/s Netflix Format profile : High@L4 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, RefFrames : 4 frames Bit rate : 5 937 kb/s iTunes Format profile : High@L4 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, RefFrames : 4 frames Bit rate : 4 919 kb/s

Bitrate means very little, as the way iTunes encodes it’s content pisses all over Netflix etc. Quality is brilliant on this movie and even 1080p stuff, very little difference to physical media, hence Apple TVs selling like hot cakes

I’d agree with the above and add Blade Runner 2049 and Guardians or the Galaxy 2 (the latter looks great and is just great fun too).

The Revenant is stunning in 4K.

There’s really only one movie to consider: Blade Runner! (The original

If you want a 4K blu-ray that will blow you away with incredible visuals, true 4K with reference quality picture then I highly recommend Lucy. The movie itself is only so-so, but the visuals are amazing. Here is what review said about it:- "The 2160p, HDR-enabled presentation dazzles from the first shot of a primitive ape from long, long ago. The creature's fur and cruder detailing is remarkable, while environmental detail surrounding is clear, focused, and impeccably defined. The digitally sourced image continues to wow for the duration. It's not flat or smooth, but it is very clean and healthy. Vibrancy is incredible. Clarity is striking. Skin textures are impeccable, revealing a level of facial nuance that's quite a step up from basic 1080p Blu-ray. Viewers will note every small detail on Scarlett Johansson's skin and the texture of her lips. Every character enjoys the same level of sophisticated detailing, whether splatters of blood, weathered lines, deep pores: nothing escapes the 2160p image's eye. Clothing textures are immaculate as well. A knock-off Stetson hat at the beginning is so richly presented, revealing the finely interwoven structure and material texture, that one can practically feel the item in the hands. Environmental details -- particularly big, bustling cityscapes -- look amazing. The level of depth, distant nuance, and fine attention to detail are all remarkable. Colors are fabulous, too. Every shade sparkles, whether rich, vibrant reds or deep, dark mahogany seen in the offices near film's start. Blue hospital garb is amazingly well saturated. The sheer variety visible in various city shots is remarkable, and the authenticity and fullness is second to none. Pure whites are blindingly perfect and blacks go effortlessly deep and true. The UHD image shows no signs of compression anomalies. This is a first-class release from Universal."

Makes sense. Thanks.

Digital copies are HD only People interested in 4K UHD aren't going to be interested in 720p streamed version! At least with all the 4K movies I own there is only the movie itself on the 4K disc, the Blu-ray then includes the extras. The Blu-ray is just the exact same discs as the Blu-ray release, probably cheaper it do it that way than to make a new special disc just with the extras. Plus can be used as a way to encourage people to buy 4K version even before they have a 4K setup.

Overrated, i would wait for a pound shop deal (cheeky) COLD

Only one in stock but it's £15.99 delivered on Music Magpie... be quick!! https://store.musicmagpie.co.uk/products/fordharrisbladerunne-ce6f14f9-22e4-45bf-9df0-1ff5a1f9a8f9

It's so they can justify the high price by including something extra which is very cheap to make. Oddly, if and when you buy a UHD player the 'free' films that are included are generally single disc!

Yes. That’s what I said.

The first film is stonking. The second film is stinking.

Picture shows second movie iTunes it’s £7.99 the first movie is £5.99

Actually, that's a little inaccurate . Whilst the 4K is stream only, you are able to download a copy of the film in 1080p or 720p if you wish. If you are going to Troll, do it right.

Oh yeah! I stopped reading after “..better than the sequel” and didn’t even notice the artwork

Awful blu ray transfers. Not all 35mm works for HQ conversion

They are pre-orders, won’t be out until August.

What won’t work? the first two films were shot on 35mm film so a proper 4K remaster is entirely possible

There is a new 4K remaster of Predator available on AppleTV and it looks fantastic so the UHD should use that.

Stick Around !!
