Used to be I would say movies that spend the majority of their running time in darkness have negligible differences on home video. I am legend 4K defies this and takes it a step further by making the daylight scenes pop w color. Amazing presentation. One complaint is the superior directors cut is NOT ON THE 4K disc. Leaving me to watch the superior version on an inferior platform that I already owned...
I had read other reviews of this 4K blu that categorizes this as good but no real differences to the blu Ray that accompanied the pack but as the opening credits rolled through the NY CITY vistas the picture was greeted by my 4 and 8 year old with a long drawn out WOOOOOWWWW I would agree
Now this is what 4K is supposed to be. The crisp details and colors as well as the depth of blacks are a model for 4K even as a up convert. Amazing indeed
Unlike most I rather enjoyed SS. The 4K treatment given however was less than stellar. While I did notice a difference in black levels and moments of extreme color nothing in between caught my eye. Thankfully the price point was just as negligible
The 4K transfer is pretty sweet on this especially in moments of slow motion and up close shots. The same could be said for shots involving Dr. Manhattan or anything of significant color. It is a noticeable improvement over the Blu-ray
The reason this movie is receiving a 3 and the only reason is because while there is an improvement in the 4K edition of picture and sound on Goodfellas, the difference is not so huge as to warrant the $30 price tag. The previous Blu-ray anniversary edition is sufficient if you have it already. If you don't, and shame on you if you don't, then splurge the money now since it comes with both editions anyway
Although a tad bit on the pricey side and considering I have probably bought this set of movies at least three times before I repurchased the mad Max high-octane anthology. And while mad max one through three were pretty much systematically the same as previous releases , Mad Max Fury Road presented in 4K with the chrome edition is worth the purchase price all by itself. The 4K is Stunning and makes an amazing movie that much more so.
