    Inception (2010). ITS BEEN 9 YEARS!?

    • Matrix - 20 years!

          You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes

  • If it's a dupe I can't find the orginal. Thanks anyway, picked up Dark Knight and Matrix for $22 delivered, not bad

    Definitely dont see a Game of Thrones Season 4 $10 4k on Amazon… any chance you've got a link?

    • +1

      Game of Thrones Season 4 4k doesn't exist. The OP is (confusingly) referring to a standard Bluray copy.

      • +5

        The standard BD copy isn't $10 either, that's the price of the DVD copy.

    Highly Recommend "Interstellar". Easily one of the greatest films which never got the full exposure it deserved.

    • +3

      Nolan, McConaughey and Hans Zimmer = masterpiece

      • +1

        Can’t agree more! Does anyone know whether there’s Atmos or DTS:X with Interstellar transfer?

      • +5

        Hans Zimmer soundtrack on its own is a masterpiece.

    • Best sci-fi. Period.

    • +2

      Agreed, one of my favourite movies ever. Keen to watch it in 4K, thanks OP.

    • +2

      Great movie but doesn't top Nolan's other masterpieces like the dark knight and inception.

    • Agreed, one of the greatest films of all time!

    • Loved it too, though i'm surprised it wasn't canned by some critics

    • It's a great movie but the sound mix is all over the place which is a real shame. I've got a very high end home theatre system professionally calibrated and 95% of movies sound amazing on it. Nolan movies are hit and miss with the sound mixing but this one takes it to another level. Have to boost the dialogue so much to overcome the incredibly loud music and sound effects and then I still struggle to understand most of what's said.

      • This movie would've been epic at an IMAX cinema.

        • +1

          Saw it the other week at IMAX. Was stunning. It's probably my favourite film. Keep coming back to it and have the soundtrack on loop.

    Whoops…..Sorry it's just the DVD, had the black case which I assumed as the 4K case.

    I'd love to compare a UHD BD to a standard BD. I've had my OLED for over 6 months and only recently played a physical BD (GoT S1) for the first time. It was no better than that of UHD Netflix. What the actual fark were Sony thinking not including a UHDBD player on the PS4Pro?

    • +3

      Keep in mind the bitrate of a standard Blu-Ray is a lot higher than 4K streaming from Netflix. If I recall properly a 4K movie from Netflix could be around 8-10gb or less, but the same movie on UHD blu-Ray will be anywhere from 40-60gb.

      • That's exactly why I bring this up - I was not blown away by the uncompressed version and want to see true 4k.

    • I watched GoT S1 on bluray on the weekend and it looks superb. Really pushes the limits of standard bluray.

      • -1

        I have an LG C8 OLED and have Netflix/Stan/Youtube all in 4k and I wasn't able to really get anything else out of the physical version. Maybe I should keep watching and really pay attention to detail? I dunno. Regardless, oh my god season 1. Uncle Benjen!!!! A sane Theon. Direwolves all together!!! The nostalgia is so real!

        • Tbh not everyone notices this sort of thing. Not a big deal.
          For me, HDR and the extra colours HDR brings are a way bigger seller than the extra resolution.

        • Dude GoT is shot in 2K then upscaled. And you're comparing GoT to whatever on Netflix. Find something on Netflix that is 4K and also available on 4K UHD Blu Ray and come back. Can you notice the difference? Yes as an A B comparison sure. Is it that much better? Arguable.

          • +1

            @NoApostrophePlurals: Fair point. As I say it was the first bit of physical media I'd tried so was curious on further opinions. I expect true 4k to be face melting

            • +1

              @Hinee: Well you haven't tried anything truly 4K yet. You've only watched compressed and upscaled stuff (which is still 90% of the way there. It's not just about pixels. UHD BD can have better audio and the most important thing is HDR.

              May I highly recommend something like Planet Earth II to try out? It is a must own on UHD BD!

              • @NoApostrophePlurals: I have watched Planet Earth II on Netflix UHD on a Hisense 75P7. It was very impressive. Will there really be a noticeable difference on UHD BD?

                • @nine6eight: Yes, compression takes a lot of the finer details away that you get with 4K.

                  If you have a 4K disk player, and a 4K TV, Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II are seriously worth owning.

  • Everest was $7 in 4K the other day had it in my basket and neglected to checkout! Doh!

  • Somewhat related question, how does the XBOX One S/X perform as a 4K Bluray player?

    • +5

      It’s ok and does the job.

      If you have a high end tv though you’ll notice a better picture quality with something like the newish Panasonic players with Dolby Vision and HDR tone mapping.

      I’ve got both so can speak from experience.

    • I have the S and it seems OK. My problems with it are:
      * The remote you can buy is pretty lousy. The buttons are lighted which is good, but it's a little thing and play/fast forward/rewind buttons are at the bottom so they're awkward press. I often don't get presses registered.
      * The blu ray software menus are geared for game controllers, so use up/down/left/right and OK. Something like 10 button presses to issue a "menu" command, even with the remote.
      * The IR receiver on the Xbox S is at the very bottom if you stand it vertically. I have to hold the remote up in the air to get line of sight over living room obstacles.
      * If you have a Dolby Atmos receiver, the Xbox S and X is very picky and often won't recognise Atmos support if HDMI is routed through TV then to receiver via HDMI ARC. You have to route Xbox through receiver, which adds lag (if you play games).
      * No multi-region/region free support for DVDs or non-4k blu-rays (4k blu-rays are not region locked).
      * It takes a while to boot, and you have to navigate through the most horrendous menu system to get to the blu-ray player app. It's like you have to solve a 16x16 sudoku every time you want to play a movie (OK maybe not that bad but it's super annoying).

        • The blu ray software menus are geared for game controllers, so use up/down/left/right and OK. Something like 10 button presses to issue a "menu" command, even with the remote.

        Press the little overlapping squares button on the remote, then press up to get to the "top menu" button, then press A.
        Should only be 3 clicks.

        • If you have a Dolby Atmos receiver, the Xbox S and X is very picky and often won't recognise Atmos support if HDMI is routed through TV then to receiver via HDMI ARC. You have to route Xbox through receiver, which adds lag (if you play games).

        Atmos isn't properly supported over ARC. Plugging the Xbox direct to the receiver won't add lag unless something is very wrong.

        • It takes a while to boot, and you have to navigate through the most horrendous menu system to get to the blu-ray player app. It's like you have to solve a 16x16 sudoku every time you want to play a movie (OK maybe not that bad but it's super annoying).

        Bluray app opens automatically when you put a disc in.

  • I can confirm that the Xbox One X plays 4k movies even on a 1080p TV

    Thanks for the find. Just bought a copy of every Christopher Nolan film still in stock, Looks like next weeks movie watching is sorted.
