    My kinda deal

  • rainbowunicorn on 25/03/2024 - 20:44

    If this is the Studio Canal version as per the listing photo, it's the best remastered version.

      It's a bit like ghostbusters. It's an offbeat scifi comedy grounded in a real world. And prime Bruce Willis.

      The director was so sure he was making something super special that he swore everyone involve to secrecy about the specifics of the film. And he was kinda right, it's a pretty cool movie.

      • slothful on 25/03/2024 - 23:28

        For me the secrecy was part of the problem - based on the trailers I went in expecting gritty noir sci-fi but was very annoyed when it was more Hudson Hawk than Blade Runner. I’ve come to like it more in retrospect.

      • nobro25 on 26/03/2024 - 12:50

        This movie and Total Recall (1990) hits the spot.

        • G-rig on 26/03/2024 - 13:17

          watched pulp fiction the other day.. classics

    • magic8ballgag on 26/03/2024 - 10:03

      That's a shame, I remember watching this for the first time as a kid and was blown away.

      Everything was futuristic and it actually looked real! It has also aged great for a film created in the 90s.

  • Bedgrub on 25/03/2024 - 23:24

    This comment does a semi decent job at explaining the variables between transfers: https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray/comments/18x5ofv/comment/k…

    TL;DR: Studio Canal release purportedly closer to original print, but the some people prefer the So y one. Newer scans tend to be better than older ones for most movies.

    • Untameable on 26/03/2024 - 02:18

      Any idea which scan MadMan Entertainment version was?

      • Magical Sound Shower on 26/03/2024 - 10:01
        +1

        The Madman version that was released here is the Sony transfer.

    • G-rig on 26/03/2024 - 07:35

      So the best version is debateable?
      4k for this price sounds good.

      Will have to watch this again, classic. Stremio has various 2160p versions, no doubt will look great still.

  • bk1973 on 26/03/2024 - 01:10

    Great movie, but it wasn’t shot in 4K in 1997 I don’t think. Yeah yeah, digital remastering, upscaling and filtering, yadda yadda. Doesn’t make it as good as a 4K shot film. Nice to see that it’s about 40% the cost of John Wick 1-4 Box Set in that other deal happening now (about $68). Good indication of the entertainment value of the movie.

    • G-rig on 26/03/2024 - 09:01

      Yeah i think it's too old for 4k to be as crisp and immersive as modern films,
      Sampling a few blu-rays (2160p TrueHD remux ~76GB) and still seems grainy on my 2k monitor.

      ps. anyone know if the older BD burners can read 4k, circa 2014 (Pioneer BDR-206). Couldn't find much, maybe not?

    • rainbowunicorn on 26/03/2024 - 09:59
      +5

      Fifth element was shot on 35mm film which retains a lot of detail but has more grain, also depends on other factors like lighting, lenses etc.
      Many older films scanned and remastered for 4k look amazing, Jaws, Alien/Aliens.

      Many Fifth Element scans happened in 2010 for bluray but this version was scanned in 2020, however still limited to the capability of the scan/film.

      • G-rig on 26/03/2024 - 10:47

        yeah I assumed that was the look they were going for. It would be cool to see it - someone I know may already have it and said they can rip in UHD now.
        May have to watch it in the meantime.

        I'm still impressed with the Stemio setup, google TV seems to upscale very well too. That Halo series is a visual feast, super crisp and awesome sound too (or a modern comparison, but pretty CGI heavy).

      • G-rig on 27/03/2024 - 07:37

        Watched a 4k BTTF, must be similar but seemed pretty good. They can only remaster so much, the sound was pretty crisp but the surround presence was non-existent almost.

      Yeah it's weird how people prefer the superior technology.

      • dogboy on 26/03/2024 - 14:17

        I am confused - you are referring to blurays as the superior technology? You can get bluray quality versions of just about anything electronically (and for free if you so want). Playing something from a file hosted on something like Plex is a lot easier these days than using a bluray disc and player. I pretty much just got the file versions of all my blurays and haven't used the discs since.

        • G-rig on 26/03/2024 - 14:22

          I pretty much just got the file versions of all my blurays and haven't used the discs since.

          So you would have had the disc in the first place (unless you are talking about pirating).

          I think people are implying that the full bluray quality is better than most streaming platforms offer (it can become compressed if you get buffering).

    • surfbum1 on 26/03/2024 - 10:55

      I'm sure it is worthwhile for those with good eyesight. Unfortunately, was wasted on me. Just as blueray arrived, my vision went in the opposite direction.
      An investment in a pair of cheapy shop glasses however paid off handsomly!
