I often get “the 10 best 4ks you have to own” listicles in my newsfeed and it seems odd - buy what you like and it’ll look a bit nicer in 4k.
From what I’ve read:
- 2001 and most of Kubrick’s films
- Dunkirk and most of Christopher Nolan’s films
- Dune
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Lord of the Rings
- John Wick
- The Thing
Controversial take maybe but I’d say Aliens belongs on that list. The AI grain removal is phenomenal and the color grading is the best of any of the home releases.
Shots fired!
Brave words, my friend. You wanna talk about True Lies too? 😆
Haven’t watched the 4K version of that one yet, so no comment.
i heard lord of the rings actually suffered from a higher resolution because it made the green screen/set parts looks much more fake. not sure if that got fixed though
Yeah, I heard the same. Especially the extended edition scenes
I would toss Pacific Rim on there, I love that film and the colors and action and set pieces look great in 4K HDR and Del Toro engineered a lot of the film to express what the character is feeling or thinking based on the lighting and colors/saturation.
I love the film but haven’t upgraded yet - Looking forward to it.
Blade runner 2049 looks amazing in 4K
Recently got Batman Returns and Ghost in the Shell in 4K HDR and they are really well done. Best in my collection despite being movies released in the early 90s.
Blu-ray.com will give you ratings on the audio/visual quality.
