Bond Blu-ray and 4k Film Club (Page 25 of 25)

Just ordered the DC Bonds in 4k box set    can't wait to view them.

Not going in to too much detail, as I don't know much about the technical side of 4k video, but as
an average punter, I'm very happy. The picture quality really is a bump up from the standard Blu-ray,
better contrast, detail and richer colours.With HDR helping with the highlights and darker scenes.
Sound quality is the same 5.1 dts, and nothing new in the extras. I think Skyfall looks the best, maybe
because it was shot digitally instead of film ? ( I may be wrong there, but I think it was )

Thanks TheExit148    as I said, I'm no expert 

Watching the desert scenes in SPECTRE, you can really notice the improvements with HDR, the
highlights are much better controlled.  ( Only my opinion, I could be wrong ) 

I have a new subscription service with my new cable TV plan called EPIX which is owned by MGM and they are featuring many of the Bond films on demand in 4K HDR. Fortunately, I have been upgraded to a 4K HDR cable box so along w/ my 4K HDR TV I can take advantage of the 4K. I only had a chance to watch the TB PTS and have to say that it is superior to the Blu Ray in overall picture quality.
The contrast ratios are superior and black looks much more "black" rather than the grey that passes for black in lesser formats and the picture appears brighter and has a bit more definition and detail. Looking forward to checking out Skyfall and SPECTRE as their  their digital intermediates was finished at 4K. Good stuff.
With regards to 4K HDR, apparently the added pixels of 4K really only makes a difference with monitors 60" on up (I have a 55") the real difference maker with sets of any size is the HDR which really improves contrast ratio, widens/expands the color pallet and improves depth of field.

I must say that I just a little disappointed that QOS, SF, and SP did not get any new bonus features. All of them really deserve more than the small amount that we got before. If other popular movies can get new content on their 4K releases so can Bond.

as a quick heads up:

On Vudu (in the USA, at least), you can buy all 24 EON Bond films for streaming for only $99.99 + tax.  That's $4.17 for each movie.  The format is 4K/UHD as well, about as good as you're going to get.

Hi bassjim67, I don't have any answers
Only that there will probably  be a new
Box set released with  NTTD and a 4k
Version of it too.

Just something to think about when it comes to Bond films in 4K HDR and whether it is better to stream or purchase the actual discs(ie "physical media").  Most streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, etc stream at 25 Mbps (Megabits per second). An actual 4k Blu Ray disc transfers at 128 Mbps which means you are getting 5X's the amount of data to fill your screen with. Color tones, sharpness, and dynamic range are all filled with much more substance and it can be very noticeable, especially as screen size increase. So if you have a 4K Blu Ray player to go along with your 4K TV and want the best possible visual quality, the discs are the way to go. There's nothing wrong with 4k HDR streaming, it still looks very good....it's just not as good as the physical media (discs).
