  • That as kind of touché, I didn't see coming :-)
  • Fair enough that you think that this is an example of a bad calibration: FYI: TB is the only one of the six I have issues with.
  • There's no green at all in the sky, and that is now how I remember it, so I'll stick to the Itunes version, which is marginally better (less red) than the BD.

  • DEKE_RIVERS wrote: » is 4K less dark? No. Both are 4K. But the Itunes/Amazon 4K's have raised highlights and especially TB has a more natural look than the UHD ones. That inflatable was surely yellow, not orange, and the sky is blue not bl…

  • I am not trying to stir things up, but with Bezos' move today against the newspaper Washington Post - clearly political - I worry that the next Bond movie will be political as well. He does have the power to dictate how it turns out, right? With him…

  • Gladiator II 7,5/10 Of course it's not as good as the first one, but Scott sort of redeems himself after last years failure, 'Napoleon'. It's a massive movie with real sets and plenty of setpieces, and although it kind of follows the same temp…
  • MI:7 had a weak plot and was mostly a Tom Cruise stunt reel. The trailer sadly looks more of the same.
