I love the opening of Blade Runner 2049 - it really makes that explosion of colour in the city even better. Much like how almost all of Prisoners was very muted, until you get hit by the red and blue flashing lights towards the end. Really enjoyed this list, a few more to add to the my wishlist!

That opening was written for the original film but not used. I dare say that if Ridley Scott had have shot it he'd have found a way to make it really hit us between the eyes. As it is I find it creates a bad first impression. But if we all thought the same about everything we'd have nothing to discuss. I suspect I'll enjoy the film much more when I do watch it again but no sequel to Blade Runner ever stood a chance really so I need to cut it some slack for that reason. John.

@@moviecollector5920 I adore BR 2049 as much as the original, and I think it's a stunning example of how a significant distance in time can work for a sequel. I saw it at IMAX and I was fine with the muted palette. I'm curious if you know about Vincent Teoh's analysis of it over at HDTVTest a couple of years back? He concluded that it was a fake HDR movie, in that the specular highlights were no brighter on the 4k than on the Blu-Ray. The resolution was upscaled but it was still an SDR movie. The brightest scene on the disk is a company logo, at a bit over 300 nits! No part of the movie proper is greater than 200 nits. Apparently the cinematographer, Roger Deakins, hates HDR with a passion. Go figure. That said, I am in two minds as to whether increasing the dynamic range in scenes such as the exterior scene when K is interacting with the advertising AI would improve the movie or whether it would spoil the film's meditative tone.

@@TheRealPotoroo I expect it was made as a slightly muted looking movie to give it the desired atmosphere. With it being muted it should mean that it doesn't look too different between the Blu-ray and the 4K but I can't recall now. My recommendation is to not take any notice of what electronic measurements may tell us because all that matters is how it looks to the human eye. My first impression of Blade Runner 2049 was not very good but going back and looking at it again for this video gave me a much more favourable impression. It's biggest failing is that it's not the 1982 film but that was inevitable. There are some great scenes though and I thought the virtual reality girl was adorable. John.

Another great video once again. I would be rather intrigued to see a 4K Top 10 Best Sound video, rounding up the best audio quality that the format has to offer. I feel that both sound and picture are equally important when viewing a 4K disc, especially with your home cinema screen. It would also be interesting to see what are the worst 4Ks you have in your collection. Part of me wishes to stick to Blu-ray (and DVD) due to the inconsistencies of 4K regarding sound and picture quality. It just seems a little bit inconvenient to have to fiddle with my settings every so often. Hope to see more content from you. - Cameron.

The worst 4K I've seen in Gemini Man but that's because of how it was made and nothing at fault with the 4K disc per se. Probably the worst with regard to how a film or video has been transferred or converted to a 4K disc is The Hunt For Red October which is far too dark. I knew Sean Connery was in that one though because I could hear him. The 4K discs and the processes involved in creating them are rarely the problem, it's usually down to how a movie was shot that shows up more with 4K because so much effort is put into producing the best representation of each movie. Because the image quality is the best possible for home video anything that wasn't quite right on the day of filming shows up more than it did before but most people who review these discs get that sort of thing wrong and that is possibly what's given you the impression there are more problems than there really are. There are occasions such as The Meg where the HDR application hasn't been done entirely right but issues like that are not particularly common. Sound used to be more important because 30 years ago there wasn't a viable option for projecting video in the home so we had to be content with a telly. As video has progressed sound has become less important and those of us who have been playing at home cinemas for a long time have generally achieved sound systems that were unimaginable 30 or 40 years ago and the result is that even movies with soundtracks recorded down tin cans and string sound good. There are sometimes soundtracks that stand out but those can distract as much as enhance the viewing of the film. Dune might be an example of that but I really enjoyed the sound on that one even if it was better than the picture quality. If you do go down the 4K disc route get a Panasonic player with the HDR button on the remote control and then any fiddling is just the press of a button. But you won't even to use that very often.

I bought a copy of Knives Out yesterday following a few comments on here which confirmed the poor trailer did not represent the final product. I hope you get Top Gun sorted out soon so you can enjoy it before seeing the sequel. HMV have currently got some good offers on Tom Cruise movies due to the Top Gun sequel being released in cinemas.

The Dark Knight (One of the best movies of all time - IMHO - and the the IMAX shots are breathtaking.

Now that would be quite a task to go through all the genres and it would be a tall order to come up with definitive lists because even with the two top ten 4K videos I've done so far I'm always chopping and changing and then when both have been finished I've realized I've missed off one or two. But you have a great list of 'Best movies' up there Bob. We have strikingly similar taste but I do think the third of the Christopher Nolan films in his Batman series is the best. So much of that was shot in genuine IMAX and it had better villains even though I realize people liked Heath Ledger as The Joker in the second film. John.

Hi John, hope you've been well! Just rewatchd this video after seeing 2049 last night. the 4K disc is in the aspect ratio of 2:35:1, but I found a copy that has the full open matte visuals (same aspect ratio as what they play in imax cinemas) and I truly believe that the film is more impactful and stunning when watching the open matte version. Althougth the open matte version is only 1080p and the color is a little blocky sometimes, its definitely watchable even for our high-quality standards. I saved this film for Friday night so I could crank up the volume and shake the house with the bass that's included on the atmos track, its truly incredible. have a great day, John!

I found the film was a lot better when looking at it from a sort of "Character Study" more than replicants and dystopian worlds. If walking into the film, expecting something like the old blade runner then I think that's a plan for disappointment, but when looking at it from a sort of "Taxi driver or Joker or Drive" perspective, then I think the film is phenomenal.

Shooting a movie at 8K and shrinking it down for a 4K disc is a different matter but I think that will be limited for many years to come. Most cinema screenings in the UK are 2K and they get away with it so there's probably not much of an appetite for upgrading all the 2K and 4K video projectors in cinemas again already. However, television manufacturers will want to convince us all that 8K is better even if you can't tell the difference. I think all this constant upgrading is helping to kill cinema.

@@ClarkTeddles 4K is already compressed. Remember the frames from my Batman trailer at about 45mb each. Work that out as an uncompressed complete file and I don't think we'd have enough space anywhere much for a two hour film. I think the two minute trailer took up about 500Gb. Of course, it was impossible to stream it as a video as each frame was far too large to handle. It may have changed now but cinemas were downloading videos onto drive arrays to screen them. Initially they had a 35mm print running in synch with the video just in case of a breakdown. John.

What's up you movie collector you! Lol. I'm one of those that regards sound just as important as the picture and luckily, these days, bad soundtracks, aren't very common so for the most part we all get the best of both worlds!

Before it was possible to video project to any sort of quality I was more interested in sound but it's a secondary consideration now that we do have the possibility of projecting video to the standard of film in the home. Having THX also means that just about everything sounds pretty darned wonderful so it's even less of a consideration but there are exceptions and whereas the recent Dune release sounded terrific the image quality didn't match it. The Abyss was a very good 'Scope Super 8 release so I think you can be assured a 4K release of that one will be pretty special. It's another Super 35 production and that particular 35mm format seems to punch above its weight judging by Top Gun and Backdraft. Deep Impact would surely be preferable to Armageddon which a whole group of us went to see from work when it was first released but none of us particularly enjoyed. As for U571, that's an example of Hollywood re-writing history but the concerning thing is that some people believe it. John.

Hi Andrew, excellent video, thank you. I would like your advice. Can you tell me the best IMAX cinema in London. I remember you saying one cinema was technically better than others. I want to see the David Bowie film "Moonage Daydream" released in September in the most superior quality. Regards Sammy from Liverpool.

@moviecollector5920

Morning Samuel. If the new David Bowie movie is screening anywhere in the West End then it should look pretty much the same as it's unlikely to be an IMAX film. To see true IMAX it needs to have been shot using IMAX 70mm cameras so I expect the new David Bowie movie will be a montage of film and video shot throughout Mr. Bowie's career. If my assumption is correct then the quality of this will be fairly low at times. The best cinema in London now is the BFI IMAX but it's not ideal for seeing widescreen movies as the genuine IMAX screen is so enormous that it's not possible to have masking to cover the top and bottom of that giant screen that won't have any image projected onto it. The Odeon Leicester Square appears to be the only remaining picture palace in the West End but you need to sit in the stalls and in the front half of the stalls to get the benefit of the big screen there. The Empire was the top cinema for a long time but some years ago it was broken up into two studios and what was originally the back half of the greatest auditorium in London is now passed off as IMAX which it isn't. They just project video in there so the days of 70mm premiere releases at The Empire are gone. It's very sad but cinemas are businesses and they have to do what is necessary to stay in business. It's such a shame that the IMAX name is being degraded in this fashion but what is an even bigger shame is that people in general think they are seeing IMAX when they are not. If Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar or The Dark Knight Rises ever gets advertised at the BFI IMAX and it's stated as 15/70 IMAX then that's the time to head to London to see what genuine IMAX is really like. The digital video equivalent is around 45K. Yes, that's forty five. John.

@@moviecollector5920 That's really high praise you've given for Blade Runner's 4k transfer. I've actually never seen it in the cinema, but I've heard about the potential of the format to deliver image quality on par with (or better than) titles originally released on film. One example I have experienced this with is Serenity (2005). I still enjoy the movie despite its technical flaws. Perhaps this added to the feeling that it was more like a smaller, rough-round-the-edges movie and presentation, as opposed to just another glossy tentpole film. At the three different cinemas I saw the film at, I remember a bit of weirdness with frame-rates, and the colour shifting on one of reel splices - all improved (to my eyes anyway) on 4k. Still, there's always a debate to be had around how authentic we want these transfers to be when compared with the original release versions. On that subject, it's worth looking into projects like "4k77" if you haven't already :)

I enjoyed the first 'Special Edition' in 1997 but I don't want to see it again, except perhaps for the end Death Star battle which may have been even better than the original. Fortunately I have all three of the original Star Wars films on Super 8 so I don't have to bother with all the re-hashes. Blade Runner really is special on 4K. If I was offered a 35mm print and it was affordable then I'd have to buy it but the 4K is so good that it really does negate the need for a film print of that great movie. The sequel doesn't match it in terms of either the basic look and feel of that original film nor the image quality. I suspect I will enjoy the sequel more when I finally watch it again but I have tried it twice and felt disappointed on both occasions. With regards to image quality in cinemas, we have taken a step backwards but people are in general convinced that things are moving forwards with public relations campaigns claiming 'Digital' as often as possible. If we used the correct word of 'Binary' then it wouldn't all sound so wonderful and people would stand a chance of seeing 'digital' for what it really is.

Le Mans '66 (Ford v Ferrari) captured my attention. I'll be ordering it for sure. My father retired from Ford Motor Company. Years ago we had the opportunity to take a ride in a 1928 Ford Trimotor while at an air show (Willow Run Airport). I have also been to the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. It's located in Grosse Point Shores, Michigan. Everything in the entire estate (including the property it stands on) is absolutely breathtaking. The artwork (paintings, ect) alone in the mansion is worth $millions$. Now if I could only get my hands on a Ford GT, my world would almost be complete. I've been to Monte Carlo, Monaco. However it wasn't during the Grand Prix. The 2022 race date is just a few days away; May 29th. During my visit there I did learn a lot about Grace Kelly from our tour guide. I recently picked up a Blu-ray copy of Anne of Green Gables (1985), 30th Anniversary Edition. The video quality blew me away. It actually looked better than some 4K transfers I've seen. One of the things im learning about HD and UHD transfers is just how critical it is to actually have the original 35mm film negatives to work with.

I think Le Mans '66 is terrific and one of the best films of recent years. It sounds like you appreciate cars so I think you'll have a good time with it Eric. I've been to Monte Carlo many times myself but never to a Grand Prix. I used to love the Formula 1 series but lost interest soon after the plank of wood was put on the bottom of the cars after the Ayrton Senna crash and I never got back into it. Classic car racing is more of an interest for me now and I've been to several classic race meetings in the USA. Great times. Anne of Green Gables sounds interesting. It's not too unusual for a standard Blu-ray to look like a 4K or even better at times. I think I underestimated Blu-ray until 4K came out and I started to think a few Blu-rays were actually better. But it's not too essential to have the original camera negative for a 4K transfer because Apocalypse Now rather proved that the interpositive is almost as good. Using the negative does mean the grading all has to be reproduced from scratch and without a good 35mm print to check it against it surely can't be easy to get it spot on. Grading is worked out from the interpositive. John.

Great video as always John. I agree Valerian is as you say entertaining tosh. While the two lead characters just didn’t have the same charisma as Mila and Bruce from Fifth Element, the rest of the cast were good and it’s a film that whisks you along merrily without too much brain involvement needed. However I was disappointed by the image, for some reason I hoped it would be pin sharp and a real demo disc due to all the colourful CGI on offer but it didn’t quite do it for me. I love Mad Max but again the disc looked posterised and after many people had said how good it was, I found myself a little disappointed. Blade Runner 2049 for me is up there at the top of my pics. I actually enjoyed the subdued palette, and found the image to be exactly how I remember from the cinema. It’s a shame Denis doesn’t really get on with HDR as much, from the test Vincent (HDTV Test) it’s SDR in a HDR container. I’m not sure if you’ve watched the 4K of Sicario yet but to me this is one beautiful looking film shot on Video. Shot on the Arri Alexa Xt at 3.4K and has a 4K DI.

The ten in this list are all really good and there are plenty more but it's interesting that the only one in this list to rival film is Le Mans '66. But as I said, it proves it can be done. That Mad Max film seems to look different every time I look at it but I based it on when I looked at it a few nights previously because I must have dropped into a sweet spot and then couldn't find it again. On another day there would be a bit of variation in the final order. It was similar with the Blade Runner sequel but if you skip the opening it does give a better impression. That opening was written for the original film but they didn't use it so it's just a shame it had to end up looking so grey. Valerian is a little soft but on a big screen it looks impressive owing to all the colour. Not one for a telly perhaps but there are some really big tellies out there that might do it justice.

And de Armas just shines in this. It's her and Daniel Craig's movie all the way. She got a Golden Globe nomination for it -- well deserved.

I'm curious, have you seen Sicario and/or The Revenant? As far as I'm concerned, both but especially Sicario are fantastic movies, and both have excellent 4K transfers. In the wake of digital photography, both are massive standouts and I'd recommend both for a try. Sicario was shot by Roger Deakins, The Revenant was shot by Emmanuel Lubezki who shot Gravity and Children of Men.

The market for 4K discs is still very small Ginger Ninja and despite the years Blu-ray has been available DVD is still outselling Blu-ray. If a better name more representative of what a Blu-ray disc is had have been adopted right from the start then perhaps the home movie market would be in a much better position today as a lot of people don't understand what it is owing to that 'Blu-ray' name. But in my opinion, the basic answer to your question is that there's little money from 4K disc sales and little incentive to spend big sums on promotion. Also, the big studios would probably prefer to simply sell us all a direct download or stream and therefore not have to bother with all the hassle and expense of producing complicated discs. John.

Greetings Carl. I can't seem to generate the enthusiasm for Godzilla vs. Kong even though it's been selling quite cheaply on occasion. The original Godzilla/Gojira was good and I liked the Roland Emmerich version about 25 years ago but I struggle with all these monster mash-ups these days. I thought the most recent James Bond was pretty terrific and the image quality owing to the genuine IMAX sequences makes it even more special. I also thought Drive was rather wonderful and how it looked enhanced it further. Second Sight had 8000 of those special Collector's Edition packs and they've all gone so I reckon it's been surprisingly successful for them. Batman (1989) is a fabulous 4K disc too but Dune can disappoint if it displays too dark on your system. Not all systems have that problem but it was the same in cinemas with variable results in cinemas too so it's a bit of a strange one but I suppose we're all still learning. John.

@@Furudal Dune really isn't that impressive on either my television or video projector which was a real disappointment. But it's not quite so disappointing when you put it on later and expect it to look fairly poor so much of my initial disappointment was down to expectation. Transferring it to film and then back again could have worked if it hadn't been so dark because making a movie look like it was shot on film should be the ambition of all productions because it tends to look more realistic. So Dune deserves respect for the attempt even if it doesn't appear to have been entirely successful this time. Of all the movies I've seen shot on video Le Mans '66 is the exception so far. I didn't see The Hunt For Red October in the cinema but it was unlikely to have been released looking as dark as it is on 4K disc. It's possible that when it was re-graded this time around it looked fine on the monitors or projectors being used but our home equipment isn't the same sort of level. When a negative is transferred there is no grading as it is all done afterwards. When movie distribution was on film the grading was worked out from the interpositive which is the next generation down from the negative and from which an internegative is then created with all the grading applied and it is the internegative that was used to strike the general release prints. This means it has to be reproduced for a video release which has used the original negative as the master and I don't suppose anything looks exactly as it did when first done for 35mm release prints. Apocalypse Now must have been almost identical though as they had an original, unfaded 35mm print on hand to check their work against. If I were still living in the West End of London I'd have gone to see the new Top Gun on release day too but outside of central London a cinema visit is a risky business these days since 35mm distribution ceased. Results are so variable owing to the myriad video projectors being used and some of them are awful. When video projection was first being installed it was the top West End cinemas that had it first and it was such a downgrade on the premiere master prints we'd been enjoying. So much so that i stopped going to the cinema and would only go once a year or so, get disappointed and try again a year or so later. Now I only tend to go when I know a film print is being screened but the new Top Gun in the West End or the BFI IMAX would be a worthwhile exception because the clips released have shown us that the video cameras used are excellent.

Hey John brilliant video as always my friend, really good list of films that look great on 4K. I've heard fro. euphoria pictures Keith that Deepwater is a great picture it's one I definitely want to give a watch. I'm Only streaming films in 4K at the moment so I do get the full benefit til I eventually get a player but I do agree with The Shallows it's such a great picture and it really blew me away. Also Kong Skull island was very impressive too. I did check on Le Man's on Disney plus but unfortunately it isn't in 4K which is a shame. Take care mate looking forward to your next video

But Lord of the Rings was fairly poor image quality at the cinema when it was first released so I never managed to get into that one. Hopefully they've gone back and done work on it because it was probably the low quality special effects that meant the rest of it had to be downgraded so perhaps re-compiling and re-exporting the computer animation at higher quality has resulted in a more satisfactory home video release. One day I'll try it again and them maybe I'll see the sequels too. I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds as I'm not really the biggest Quentin Tarrantino fan.

The Extended Edition Blu Ray set released around the same time was a major improvement, with the colours really popping. Plus the 6•1 Sound Mix was a welcome addition as well. But the most recent 4K Trilogy Box Set from 2020 is the superior version. Both Theatrical and Extended versions are on there.

My favourite film of his is the aforementioned 'Inglourious Basterds', so I couldn't help double dipping for the 4K of it. He loves shooting on Film so it's no wonder the 4K looks fantastic. Yeah, Tarantino isn't for anyone, especially the excessive amount of graphic violence and endless amounts of swearing in the dialogue.

And Video is not perojative either, the technology has seriously evolved since VHS and DV 😬 Where “shooting on film” is basically an “lightprint” on a chemical support, “video” is a “conversion/translation” of light into a sequence of electric signals. Two different processes, tools (and Arts imho).

From now on I'm going to use that like a technical term. I wonder if it will catch on. John.

Here is my small 4k collection with my comments for anyone interested: 'Last Christmas' - This movie has good HDR which is demonstrated by the Christmas lights that are almost ever present in the film. The resolution is true 4k, and the two stars of the film look great. The cinematography is excellent, and if you love wet streets and colorful lights in the city at night you need to pick this up. London looks amazing in this film. 'Basic Instinct' - This is a must have for any 4k movie collector. The true 4k resolution is pure magic here, and the color has been fixed by the director as it was pretty bad in the blu-ray version. If I had to just have one movie on 4k, then this would be my choice. Pure cinema. San Francisco, the beach, the interrogation scene, it looks like a different movie in 4k HDR. 'Vertigo' - This is one of my all time favorite films, and this is the best it's ever looked. However, buyer beware, Vertigo has been heavily restored and doesn't look at good in 4K UHD as films that didn't need heavy restoration. You lose something in picture quality when you have a heavy film restoration. Still Vertigo looks great, and it's leaps and bounds better looking that 'Rear Window' in 4k, which I am not going to review. 'Total Recall' - This is a movie that needed HDR desperately, and wow did the HDR bring this movie to life. The HDR brings a level or vivid radiant color, especially red and orange, that I had never seen before. The signs and city also glow and pop, just wonderful. And Total Recall is also true 4K, but be aware that there is a fair amount of film grain in certain scenes. Wonderful film. 'Blade Runner' - True 4K, amazing HDR, but you need an OLED tv to really enjoy this true masterpiece. I have a 65' 4k LG CX OLED tv, and BR looks like a totally different movie now. It's magical in nearly every single scene. What a treat. The regular blu-ray looks like trash compared to this version. 'The Hunger Games' - Catching Fire' - You can pick this movie up in 4k HDR for $9.99, and at that price it's more than worth it. CF is the only hunger games movie that is true 4k, and has great HDR scenes. If you want to see Jennifer Lawrence at her best in 4k, then this film is your cheap option. The picture quality is excellent. 'Passengers' - This is another true 4k film, and I only buy true 4k movies now. This movie was shot mostly with an Arri Alexa 65 digital camera, but some people don't like the total absence of film grain. I don't care if a movie has film grain or not, so long as the picture is true 4k, and the HDR is at least decent. My only minor complaint is that Jennifer must have had a achene breakout during filming, and they corrected it digitally in a subtle way. It looked like they did the Hollywood version of "auto-fill - content aware" or "cloning" to fix her little breakout. Great looking movie overall. Well I'm out of time or I'd list the rest. Maybe later.

That's a great post Jay. I hadn't even heard of Last Christmas so as it's set in London I'll be looking that up. Basic Instinct is good but it is 35mm so not as good as films shot on large format films. I found the colour a bit brown but it could be that was how the original release prints were graded. Vertigo was shot VistaVision so you're possibly being fooled by the look of it as VistaVision was a horizontal 35mm format that had a frame 8 sprockets wide - in other words, enormous! The clarity and lack of obvious film grain may be making you think something has been done to it in a computer but it probably hasn't been. Total Recall and Blade Runner are 35mm productions but look pretty darned fabulous and to get the most filmic representation of them in the home does really mean forgetting a telly and getting a video projector. You will need to mask off the black bars with a video projector though otherwise it does spoil that film illusion. As for only purchasing a true 4K you'd better look at my Top Ten Movies Shot On Video upload as I try to point out that it doesn't actually matter if a film is 2K most of the time. The original filming format is the most important factor as the original clarity of a 4K or 6K shoot does shrink down and is retained in the final product. That's how they can get away with a 2K video being screened on a genuine IMAX even if it doesn't really look anywhere near as good as genuine IMAX because most people wouldn't be able to spot any difference. You'd better post the rest of your top 4K movies now Jay! John.

You will be hard pressed to ever tell a difference between a 2K movie and a 4K and if you think about it, if it were easy then most cinemas would be out of business by now as around half are projecting with 2K machinery and most of the videos released to cinemas are 2K anyway. I can tell the difference with a lot of the video I shoot myself but probably not this Movie Collector material for KZread as it tends to be indoors and less well defined than if I'm shooting something motor car related or scenic outdoors. Basic Instinct may look different on your telly as all our systems are different and as I don't watch films on our telly I haven't really spent too much time setting that up compared to the video projector which I've tried to make look as much like film prints as possible. All other films have natural looking skin colour but that one doesn't really. It's not too bad though as the transfer of the 35mm original negative is so good that the colour is secondary to the definition as far as I'm concerned. Look up VistaVision to learn more about Vertigo and Rear Window. They should be among the best 4K discs so far because of the VistaVision 'Motion Picture High Fidelity'. Spartacus was shot in a variation of VistaVision called Technirama and that is why that one also looks fabulous. Nothing shot on video has matched this sort of film quality so far but this is the age of mediocrity in general so if the studios can get away with cheaper, lower quality then we can't blame them for doing so. Drive is out in 4K from Second Sight Films on Monday and it looks terrific. I thought I was watching a film but it's actually a 2K video. It's a perfect example of how the Digital Intermediate Master doesn't matter as long as the movie was high quality to start with, much like VistaVision which was predominantly used to produce superior quality standard 35mm prints.

So in my opinion if you buy a 4k tv that is 65 inches, and you sit greater than 6 feet away, then you are not really experiencing 4k resolution. In short, buy the biggest tv you can afford, or get your own home cinema if you have that kind of money. My local cinema, which I try to support, is a joke for quality. They are using a light source that is far too dim for the projection, and so we have to suffer a dim picture. My tv is about 750 nits, and my local cinema just can't compete because they are cutting corners. I went to watch Doctor Strange 2 a couple of weeks ago and I almost asked for a refund. I know they have powered down the light source to save money. It's sad. Yes Drive is coming to America August 9th and I might pick that up.
