scallenger 483 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Why would it matter? Clearly since many people don't care about BluRay (and SO MANY people I know alarmingly still think DVD looks completely fine in comparison), why would anyone now care about 4K if they already aren't blown away by the BluRay difference? I wish people would be, but I don't see it catching on at this point with the general consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to buy this when it was a hot seller at Amazon UK and they cancelled my purchase, but this time, it shall be mine!

The company who did the visual effects of the Director's Cut for TMP did them at a low rate I think like 480 i or p instead of something like 1080. They would have to redo the effects from scratch.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's not irony. On this aspect, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has also: A condition of affairs or events of a character opposite to what was, or might naturally be, expected; a contradictory outcome of events as if in mockery of the promise and fitness of things. (In French ironie du sort.)[8] Khan is the only classic Trek I have on Blu even though it is the shorter cut, when I usually would skip that release and wait for a better one (as I have done on numerous occasions). I believe "irony" is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,829 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen (every shot looks like a painting), gets the treatment it deserves!Pathe's new 4K restoration of Patrice Chereau's La Reine Margot is stunning. In fact, I would argue that it is likely the best restoration to emerge from France since the high-definition format was launched. As far as I am concerned, at this point it is undoubtedly a prime contender for Blu-ray release of the year. Bravo Pathe!http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/La-Reine-Margot-Blu-ray/96881/#Review* * * *Oh, well.

You mean you have seen the 4th film and didn't like it, so you didn't want it to be included in the boxset?Many times also, i feel that a film is not a part of a series of films, that's why I don't want to buy it.Eg. I don't feel that Terminator 3 or Terminator Salvation are part of the Terminator films (1 & 2). I see them as something else.I feel the same about Superman Returns (although I haven't seen it too), Die Hard 4 and I don't know how many films there were after that, Rambo 4, Jurassic Park 3 (although I admit I have the trilogy boxset but I don't like it) etc..I also would love if there was a Bond box that stopped with the 80s films..

nightscape94 965 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 You have to weigh your options when buying a box set. Does the boxset contain what you want at a good price (including bonus materials). For example, I would never buy the Alien Anthology blu since 50% is meaningless to me. But I would also buy the Die Hard set because I like 75% of the movies and the pricing makes sense to do it that way instead of buying individually.

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think it's bad PR for studios to disregard the black sheep titles in franchise box sets unless they can legitimately define a logical connection. As far as a business decision, it's probably a wash either way, but they've got no real reason to sweep the maligned titles under the rug, as they greedily want their ROI. Would a future Indy box set disregard the fourth movie even though everyone hates it? Not likely. Would a future Star Trek box set be only the even numbered, supposedly the only good ones? Not likely. They could release a dedicated box set marketed as the Genesis Trilogy, but as soon as they include VI, they're obligated to include TMP and V. At the very least, they have divided the franchise between TNG and classic casts, but also just released the complete film franchise to date. I also own the Die Hard trilogy on DVD but have no obligation to upgrade. I did goof by getting the Lethal Weapon trilogy DVD set before seeing the foursome at Walmart; no upgrade is on my agenda. I am satisfied with the Alien Anthology Blu-ray set because $20 for the attractive box was a steal. And I don't hate 3 and 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
