Anyone get to watch X-Men First Class in UHD yet and have any opinions? I'm thinking of picking that one and Pacific Rim tomorrow. Apocalypse is coming from Amazon so it will be a few days. The Shallows tonight, can't wait.
Your jaw will drop with The Shallows.Anyone get to watch X-Men First Class in UHD yet and have any opinions? I'm thinking of picking that one and Pacific Rim tomorrow. Apocalypse is coming from Amazon so it will be a few days. The Shallows tonight, can't wait.
Hmm, well I don't see how something streamed at ~20Mb/s could ever look better than ~80Mb/s off a disc, with the same codec. Any improvement in the HDRness due to DV's scene-by-scene parameters would [surely, IMHO] be more than offset by the vastly lower bitrate of the streamed version.
I also received the 4K UHD Blu-ray of X-Men: First Class and Jupiter Ascending (which is one of my favorite movies no matter what anybody else thinksAnyone get to watch X-Men First Class in UHD yet and have any opinions?

) this past weekend. I plan to watch First Class tonight and I will let you know about the HDR quality later.
I think we're well past the point of real world perception differences in streamed vs disc at this resolution. DolbyVision vs HDR10 differences are much more apparent than bitrate IMO. There are many people in the owners threads who have DV/HDR10 sets that will tell you the same.
Daredevil looks ok but I thought the show was a tremendous turd and can't watch it. So after I finished season 1 feeling like I wasted my time, I will not be watching season 2 at all when HDR is available for it. It's just so boring to me. Same with Hibana Spark. Now Man in the High castle on Amazon deserves to have a season 2 which I believe is coming. I also liked Red Oaks but I haven't heard of a season 2...maybe it won't get one who knows.
Unfortunately I can't take their word for it since it has been proven that some DV TVs don't display HDR10 properly and have improper tone mapping. Some of which may not have been fixed yet for all I know which is a problem at the present time when doing these comparisons. I wish this wasn't the case.
To each his/her own. I actually like Daredevil much better than Red Oaks. I couldn't get past the first episode of Red Oaks. I also couldn't get past the first episode of Marco Polo. I'm holding off on watching Luke Cage until it's available in HDR and then I'll give it a try. I also liked The Man in the High Castle but it's the only Amazon original series that I've liked. I didn't like any of the others I tried when I had Prime. I cancelled Prime and will only get it for a month when the 2nd season of The Man in the High Castle becomes available.
Yeah I guess I just got into the raunchy humor of Red Oaks much more than the melodrama about an upstart law firm, a vigilante that is half dead every time he tries to be a super hero, and a villain that wasn't menacing to me at all.
The problem with Daredevil PQ is that noise, that horrible disgusting noise.
Watched all of season one and it never changed from that formula. Boring as watching paint dry. I had to force myself to watch it. I never felt tension or that feeling you get when you can't wait to see what happens next. The characters have no chemestry, some of the acting is downright bad, and I simply am not made to care about any of it. *shrug*
I wonder if it's an effect of shooting in low light all the time. I didn't find it that bad or distracting.
Really hard to imagine that is how you felt about Wilson Fisk after seeing the whole season.
This is exactly how I felt about Marco Polo, boring as h....
