Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Damn it's like if the visual effects weren't that bad and actually pretty okay but the weird Kaminski's filter was making them look awful crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacGyver also has a very good ant episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,014 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Just finished watching Temple of Doom. Looks even better than Raiders. The visual excess really translates well into 4K disc. The colours really pop. It's just a shame I don't really like the film or score as much. They're both very well made but just...too much. I prefer the more careful and balanced first film.

Nick1Ø66 4,716 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 KOTCS looks significantly better than it did on Blu or even in the theatre. Shows you just how much Kaminski ruined the look of this film (and how much Spielberg let him). Still, a dramatic improvement. Not enough to make me ever watch this abomination again mind you, but nice to see someone took some care with it. The other films all look great as well (though none of them had the room for improvement the fifth FOURTH film did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxsch 115 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It's sad that there is no usual 1080p re-release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,014 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Watched Least Crusade last night and just finished Crystal Skrull. The 1989 film holds up quite well actually. As silly as it is there's always a sense of cohesion within its own premise. And it feels like such a natural conclusion to the series. The fourth is is worse than I can remember. And it wasn't good to begin with. Sure, there are some strong visuals here and there, particularly in the first half, and some story ideas are cool. I don't actually mind the premise. But the film quickly falls alart as nothing really makes much sense. It's a really sad thing to say but the whole opening sequence is the best part and the most likeable and motivated character is Mutt. 3 looks sreally good, 4 does look better overall. But it still doesn't make it any better. Some of the CGI towards the end is quite bad. Really happy with the collection although it is mostly just a lazy repacking of the old set.

Schilkeman 964 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So I finally checked out these new transfers on Disney Plus. Has anyone else noticed how off the the music sounds in Raiders? A lot of reverb has been added to the point that the trumpets almost sound like synthesizers in a few spots. I know it's not lossless, but it shouldn't sound that bad. Also, the colors are still off. Guess I'll be sticking with my DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVDs were 5.1 and so had less channels: fronts, center, rears, LFE The Blu-Ray's were also 5.1. 7.1 has fronts, center, sides, rears (and LFE?) not to mention the whole upwards firing thing.

ThePenitentMan1 743 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The Blu-ray's higher-pitched screams of the nepalese guy that caught fire are a pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
