You can read the name and address on the packet mate - if this doesn’t affect you then cool just an FYI.

Anyone have any idea when Amadeus will come out in uhd bluray? Its the only thing im left looking for, everything i wanted in 4k has come out, abyss, robocop 2 (this june), only thing left for me is amadeus and minus some tv shows in bluray is tales from the crypt and old tv shows like all in the family and threes company. Why is Amadeus not out yet? you would think for such a movie that 4k would be out by now. Amadeus is one of those movies where if it comes out in 4k, I will spare no expense on whatever flashy version of 4k they have.

googling 4k and amadeus this comes up: https://www.academymuseum.org/en/programs/detail/amadeus-018cfa80-ab0b-9c4e-9e6c-08e3b63fa8ce

I saw this technical analysis of Aliens 4K on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray/s/ZU8GkkZlKR

He says its only an upscale and doesn't have real HDR.

I recently watched Alien and Aliens back to back. Aliens, like True Lies, feels like the screen disappears and you're looking through an open window. It's startingly realistic, especially right after a grainy movie.
The DNR is barely noticeable in motion. The lighting and colours are superb - the sunset after the crash never looked better.
It's not all about nits and how it looks in static shots.

The Crow looks absolutely stellar in 4K.

Just picked these up in 4K. They come in really nice boxes covered with cloth and 60+ page booklets. Midsommar's booklet is full of rigid cocks, so that would be going straight on the top shelf, except it's much taller than a normal DVD case and won't actually fit.

Picture quality seems great. There are zero extras on the Midsommar disc, but the Talking Heads one has loads of stuff.

Nice! I've got the DVD version in the same packaging. Is the 4K one worth getting? (This would be my third purchase of this movie.)

I'd say it's a worthy upgrade. Certainly the best it's ever going to look.

I bought the 4K edition, UK version - last copy left in the shop. The packaging is actually a big downgrade compared to the old US Criterion DVD edition I've got. The DVD has a double gatefold, with the booklet and poster inserted alongside, instead of a single wide insert with the discs stacked on top of each other.

The paper stock in the DVD's booklet is much, much nicer (textured, not glossy) and the 4K one has been cropped at the top and bottom so the text is the same size but the page layout is more cramped. Bizarrely, the 4K copy's poster is slightly larger, but only because it has extra white space around the edge (and is also printed on glossy stock). The DVD's outer cover is thicker and feels more expensive.

You'd think if it's the ultimate edition, they'd treat the packaging with a little more respect. I might just swap the discs over (but the ones in the DVD box are designed to fit with the design on the background).
