I'm actually contemplating on doing a singular video for that movie sometime over the Christmas period. I can't stress to you how much I love it and I am so ecstatic to see it get this kind of treatment. Thank you for checking it out Mark
The extended version of The Martian is my favorite version. If you haven't seen it, you should seek it out. It felt like a fuller, more complete movie.
I think the only reason to why I never picked it up is because I didn't think there was going to be much added to it. I will definitely look into it now. Thanks for the heads up
I really need to pick up the Martian extended edition. How I haven't gotten it by now I will never understand because I am a huge fan of the movie itself. Thank you so much Stephen for stopping by and I really hope the video has helped you out in some way
I just love this video. You talk about video and audio. I’ve actually come across so called movie reviewers who don’t include sound in their reviews at all. You discuss Both at length. I don’t even think you should talk about 4k disc reviews if you don’t have a good sound system to review the audio. That’s what pushes a lot of us home theater enthusiasts to upgrade from the regular blu ray. Thank you for your outstanding recommendations
Wow this is so incredibly flattering to read and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and put it down. When you do a video like this you try to cover as much as you can. I didn't talk about the audio or the visuals as much as I would normally like and it's only because I don't want the video to go on too long. But if the video could help out a few people then I honestly think it's worth doing. Thanks again for the very kind words
G Good Morning Keith !! Very cool video , Nun 2 was definitely a movie that grabbed Sinead & I ! We found it deeply immersive. I also agree that seeing a classic movie get a clean up is delightful ! I have my hidden Gem & it was in the WB collection that was recently released & that is “ Cool hand Luke” the road working scenes especially just popped ! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Hey Conor. Great to hear that yourself and Sinead enjoyed the nun 2. There doesn't seem to be much love out there for the movie and I honestly do not understand why. I will definitely check out Cool Hand Luke whenever I have a chance to pick it up. It's great to hear that I'm in for a treat when I do. Thank you as always my good friend for stopping by. I hope all is well with yourself
Good Man Kieth, I have seen groudhog day in the cinema, VHS , TV, DVD and streaming. I think I will get it 4k now , I could watch that film over and over and over and over 😂
If you do decide to pick up Groundhog Day on 4K maybe go for the Steelbook edition because if you do you will get Dolby vision with that 4K transfer. You don't get it with the standard release. But thank you so much for stopping by. I really hope it helps
Very inspiring video, Keith! My favorite aspect of it was seeing you mini-review some movies that we normally don't get to hear your reflections of, such as IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and other non-action, non-horror, non-scifi/fantasty titles. A great change of pace and so interesting to hear about other genres you are checking out from time to time. I would add TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD as a 4K transfer that doesn't get the attention and affection it deserves. It was the first 4K I watched on my system where I actually, profoundly noticed a difference between it and Blu. It was so strikingly beautiful you could smell the morning dew on the grass!
To be honest Glenn I probably should be doing more reviews like It's a Wonderful Life. I'm still not quite sure why I didn't do a review of it when I first got it in my hands. Thank you for the recommendation by the way when it comes to kill a Mockingbird. I've never seen the movie but I've heard so many great things about it. Great to hear I'll be in for a nice treat when it comes to the 4K transfer whenever I do get around to watching it. Thank you as always Glenn for taking the time to stop by and for the very kind and supportive words. I means so much to me
@@millerman9991 I’m still waiting for your CASABLANCA review as I loved the video you did unboxing it. I couldn’t believe you never saw it and was so anxious to hear your thoughts on it. Anyway, you’re always welcome and deserving of the praise I share so I thank you for producing such fantastic content! ❤️
@ProfessorEchoMedia I actually did get around to watching Casablanca and I really enjoyed it. It's very hard to do another video on a movie that you've covered already particularly the release itself. You never know maybe sometime in the future I will get a different edition and then I can finally share my thoughts on it
@@millerman9991 I understand. I’m just happy to hear you enjoyed it after all these years! Your collection is so vast and epic it must be hard to choose what titles get full fledged reviews versus unboxings. Just keep the videos coming and we’ll enjoy them all, no matter what you cover.
@ProfessorEchoMedia that's the thing Glenn because sometimes when you do simple unboxing videos they are very easy to make and it's always nice to throw one in every now and again.
I've got The Martian, Grease and Groundhog Day and I agree, they're excellent 4K's. Ones to definitely have in the collection. Need a few more of these suggestions in my collection. There's nothing quite like watching a movie in 4K for the first time. Some have left me gawping at the screen
Honestly Darren you cannot go wrong with any of the movies that I mentioned in this top 10. I know a few people might be surprised by some of the movies that I mentioned in this video like for instance crazy rich Asians but there is no denying how phenomenal the picture looks on that movie. Buy with Confidence my friend. You have nothing to worry about. Thank you as always for taking the time to stop by
Have you heard that the 4K of True Lies is a brilliant transfer? It comes with a slip cover AND it's reasonably priced. Surprised nobody has told you! Seriously though..... Interesting video. I really enjoyed it.
I thought the nun looked fantastic on 4K until I seen the sequel. Both look absolutely fantastic and I'm sure they look equally as impressive on Blu-ray. Thank you so much Stuart for stopping by
Yeah like I said in the video Will I am just waiting to get it at the right price. I honestly can't wait to check it out. Thank you so much for stopping by
2012 is a one and done for me, half the world dies and everyone who survives loses somebody but at the end they all sail off into the sunset happy as Larry, it's like you're suddenly watching a cruise line advert.
The biggest problem I have with 2012 is it has far too much humour in it especially when you consider everything that's happening. But unfortunately that is Roland Emmerich for you. He always put in unnecessary humour into his disaster movies. But it's still a fun popcorn movie. More than a visual treat than anything else
I honestly can't recommend all 10 enough Mike. You might not like every movie but trust me you'll have no complaints with the 4K transfers. Thank you as always for stopping by
Great list Keith, I’ve held off on Grease for sometime, but will pick it up soon. Again don’t want to beat a dead horse but a Jaw dropping visual experience is Paprika I’ve never been into Anime and it’s such a weird film but a totally different experience from our “ Normal” viewing experience. The Atmos is something that you will not believe for a Anime film, I thought I was going to watch maybe ten minutes of it but could not turn it off. 2012 was a delight. My have to get Nun 2 and WOTW thanks again my friend and it will be the last time a mention Paprika 🤣. Cheers 🇺🇸😎🇮🇪
Do not be afraid of mentioning paprika to me Michael because I love the way your passion comes across in the comment section when you do talk about it. It actually makes me want to pick it up. As for everything I mentioned in this video you have nothing to worry about. Every single one of them look and sound amazing. Buy with Confidence my friend. A huge thank you Michael for taking the time to stop by
Love the Stand By Me 4K. Looked incredible!. It's a Wonderful Life another amazing B&W. I haven't got War of the Worlds yet. Need to since I have the Tom Cruise remake which blows the socks off the BD. Amityville Horror another great release from VS. Absolute classic preserved beautifully.Martian, same here...I only have that version. I did not even know about the extended cut when I bought it.
Yeah there is an extended version of the Martian but I don't know how much it extends the movie. Sometimes those directors cuts can be somewhat hit and miss. Like I said in the video I'm waiting to get it at the right price. I highly recommend War of the Worlds as well by the way. Just like yourself I thought that Tom Cruise 4K release was absolutely phenomenal. The original is equally as impressive
@@millerman9991 I feel same with director cuts. They aren't always better. I may be in the minority but I did NOT like the new cut of Rocky 4, and also have mixed feelings about Superman II Richard Donner Cut.
War of the worlds, John Clancy on his Movie Collector channel did a brilliant video on the 4K of WOTW.. Even goes into the methodology on how it was originally filmed
Hey Chris. John is a very good friend of mine and it goes without saying but I have seen that video. That mans knowledge is absolutely astonishing. It's almost intimidating to talk to him 😂😂
@@millerman9991 The guy is a legend.. When everyone else does a 4K review, they’ll do a comparison with a standard Blu-Ray.. but John.. he sometimes compares it with a 35mm film print.. You don’t see many others do that. Absolutely Brilliant!
@chris967092 I honestly couldn't agree with you more Chris. Like I said his knowledge is vast and he is a huge inspiration to me. There's not many out there like him and it's probably why he has such a successful CZcams channel
What would I do to be in your shoes seeing the Martian and the Amityville Horror on 4K for the first time. They look absolutely astonishing. You are in for a treat my friend. I will definitely be doing more of these in the future. Thank you for stopping by
Great work Keith....was thinking of picking up greese on 4k....but wasn't sure if ther would be a big difference between the remastered BD or the 4k ....👍
2012 was bat shit lol .. saw that one in the theatres when I was younger, I’ll never forget the shot of California flipping over on the tectonic plate, sinking straight into the pacific. Near the end, it gets a little bit out of control... John Cusack & his family are passengers on these apocalyptic Chinese made, all-terrain vehicles. They are going down waterfall, switching from land to water… I’m not sure if the CGI holds up but I bet the audio does.
I have to admit the CGI holds up very well under the scrutiny of 4k. But like I said in the video it's the Dolby Atmos that really stands out. The movie itself is not one of my favourite disaster movies. There's a bit too much humour considering everything that's happening in the movie. Unfortunately that is a trait of Roland Emmerich
That is one of my favourite lines in that movie. I think every young person can relate to this movie. We all had friends like that where we use to go on our own Adventures. It's probably why I love the movie as much as I do
Yeah unfortunately I had to change my intro because I got a copyright claim on the Assault on Precinct 13 one. I would do anything to see that movie get a 4K release
I still haven't gotten around to checking out Westworld. I've got a beautiful Blu-ray edition of it just very recently. Hopefully I will check it out soon
Great video Keith! Glad to say I have the majority of them! Stand By Me I recently picked up a nice steelbook for . Groundhog Day is one of my all time favourites and have that a while. I'll definitely pick up The Amityville Horror after your comments . Hope you and Ellen are well and talk to you Friday on the stream! Regards Alan
The good thing about you getting the Steelbook of Stand By Me is you will get Dolby vision with your version where you don't get it with mine. The same can be said for Groundhog Day if you get the Steelbook. I'm hoping to pick both of them up myself someday. Thank you as always Alan for taking the time to stop by. Look forward to the stream on Friday my friend
Great selection there matey.. awesome to hear Amityville Horror is as good as you say in 4k.. I e of my all time fav horrors.. definitely one I'll be upgrading to 4k when I can 😎👍
You are in for fun treat when you finally check out the Amityville Horror on 4k. Like I said in the video you will not find a single fault with it. Perfection in my eyes. Thank you so much for stopping by
Im just about to watch my UK 4K of The War Of The Worlds, and i remember being blown away by it. The colours had so much depth to them, and the picture was so crystal clear it was like it was filmed this century. It's an amazing film anyway, and i had to make it an essential purchase. The fact it had When Worlds Collide on a separate blu ray was the cherry on the cake
I had an absolute blast revisiting this movie myself Mike. Like you said the colours really do make a huge difference and it elevated my enjoyment of it. To see it on my Sony OLED TV was a sight to BEHOLD. I really hope someday When Worlds Collide gets a 4K release. God knows it deserves it. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by and I really hope you enjoy the movie
@@millerman9991 War Of The Worlds '52 is in my top twenty best films ever, if not in my top ten. It's just a great movie, and the restoration that's been done to it is exceptional.
@millerman9991 go on. Be a devil. I'm at the bit in the farmhouse and, my word, it is so spectacular. I can't believe how fantastic the flesh tones are on Ann Robinson & Gene Barry.
@thatotherretroguy like I said in the video the movie is shot in Technicolor and if they get the 4K transfer right it was always going to look spectacular. Thank god they got it right
Do me a favour John whenever you get around to watching the Martian get back to me and let me know what you thought of that picture quality. It's reference quality
@@millerman9991Hey Keith, I watched The Martian 4K tonight and it looks fab, just like looking through a window at Mars, even though it does look fab I do prefer the 3D version, it's marginal though, if there was no 3D version then I'd be more than happy to have the 4K version as it is impressive, hadn't seen the film for a few years so was more than happy with the challenge you gave me 👍
@johnfitzpatrick9994 that's the great thing John at least you have the option of the 4K and 3D. Both of them I think are reference quality but like I said in the video my go to way for now is the 4k. Always puts the biggest smile on my face that 4K release
Good video to watch this is. Nice to see people talking about 4k vids that no one else is talking about, especially movies that stand the test of time. I'm a physical movie collector myself who hasn't made the leap ro 4k. Mainly because im tired of buying the next big thing and thinking is it or was it worth the financial outlay? Being the geek that I am, I have listed all my DVD/Blu-ray movies and TV show's into a spreadsheet. Then I have highlighted the one's that I'll watch again and again and upgrade these to 4k at some point. So your comments on stand by me, the Martian and groundhog day are in my list "to upgrade list" means I'll be getting these at some point soon.
To be honest I'm not particularly surprised that you haven't made the jump to 4K as of yet. There are so many people out there just like yourself. You sometimes forget how fantastic the Blu-ray format is. But I have said it so many times in so many videos it is the older movies where you start seeing significant upgrades and there is a few fantastic ones featured in this video. I really hope your first 4k will be the Martian because that was mine. I know it's not an older movie but I knew there and then we were seeing something very special in terms of 4k. I hope you get as much out of it as I did whenever you do decide to make that leap onto 4k. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video even though you don't have a 4K setup. I really appreciate the support and I really hope this video has helped you out in some way
@@millerman9991 No worries you make good content. Yourself and a few others that make content on 4k movies, is pushing me towards getting a 4K player that bit sooner. I have 2x 4k discs already the Martian (one of my favourite movies) and the revenant which I've seen but not that bothered about, however they were bought for £1 each. I won't upgrade my whole collection just the ones I deem watchable multiple times I.e. interstellar, arrival Shawshank redemption, back to the future, uncle buck to name a cand most M. Night Shyamalan movies..... About 60-70 all in all but I don't think some of them have a Blu-ray version yet so can't see a 4k version coming.
Keith, ya missed one buddy. I watched the Mask of Zorro 4k disc last weekend and was so blown away I just couldn't believe it was filmed in 35mm almost 30 years ago. If you haven't seen it I implore you to give it a go
A huge thank you for the recommendation Scott and I will definitely get around to checking it out on 4K especially after reading this comment. Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know
I've said this to a few people in the comments section Marty but if you ever decide to pick up Groundhog Day on 4K make sure to buy the Steelbook release because you get Dolby vision with that. It doesn't come on the standard edition. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by
You know Keith, Ellen recommended Groundhog Day to me some time ago and I still haven't gotten around to seeing it. Stand By Me looks gorgeous in 4K and it's an incredible movie. 2012 is another great looking film. I still need to watch the Nun movies. I love your steelbook of Grease, it's like the school locker. I agree, The Amityville Horror is another great looking movie in 4K. Talking of stunning looking 4K, you were right about Pearl's opening sequence with the barn doors opening, wow. Also the first shot of the lake with the alligator was also an amazing shot in 4K.
Yeah Gary that scene with the barn doors in Pearl literally blew my socks off. To be honest the entire movie looks incredible. Do me a favour Gary please watch Groundhog Day as soon as you can and if you do make sure you get the 4K transfer. Every time I feel down or upset that is my go to movie to cheer me up. Trust me my friend you will not be disappointed. I would never steer you wrong. But thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by. I really appreciate the support
I totally agree about Groundhog Day and Stand By Me. Sony truely are the reference for catalogue releases. The steelbook versions of these do have DV in case you were unaware. Sony have be re-releasing their early 4Ks with DV, usually as steelbooks.
Yeah I have every intention in the world of picking up the Steelbook Editions for both releases. I'm not expecting a drastic difference in picture quality but it would be nice to get them on Steelbook form. Just waiting to get them at the right price. But I absolutely agree with everything you said Mike when it comes to Sony. They never disappoint
@@millerman9991 A few of the Sony's upgraded releases also now use a 100gb disc instead of 66gb so compression should be improved. I know Groundhog Day is one. That's fair regarding pricing. You and I, heck most of us now have to rely on online ordering and finding the best deal is a challenge in of itself.
@@millerman9991 My original reply to this disappeared. 😅I said some of the Sony reissues (but not all) also use a larger disc for better compression. Groundhog Day is one. Don't blame you on waiting for the right place. WowHD is worth checking out as the price is all-in, international shipping is free.
It's not a true Night and Day difference over the Blu-ray but trust me there is a difference and it's a welcome one. It's definitely worth checking out Alan
@@millerman9991 I’ve been asked to sell mine a few times no chance I don’t have the jaws box set either if I did he wasn’t getting it 😂 I do have all on 4k steel book tho 😊
Some fantastic recommendations there Keith. Grease was one of the first 4ks I bought and it looks brilliant. I have the extended edition of The Martian and that also looks great. I still need to get Groundhog Day (slip cover edition or steelbook). Now we come to War Of The Worlds. The thing that put me off getting this on 4k is that all versions, in all territories have very incorrect colours on the opening scene, they have made Mars blue. Criterion did correct this when they released it on blu ray though so I may get that instead. Take care both of you. Gaz.
See that's the thing with myself Gary there is no way I would ever allow a scene that's only a couple of seconds long put me off an entire release. I know there was a lot of complaints out there but it never bothered me. If you ever decide to pick up Groundhog Day make sure to try and get the Steelbook edition because if you do you will get Dolby vision with it. You don't get it with the standard release. I'm not sure if it will make a drastic difference but I would love to see it for myself. Thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by
@@millerman9991 It was a couple of minutes Keith, even Saturn looked light blue. The 50s version of War Of The Worlds is one of my favourite films of all time and when they get it so wrong it puts you off getting a copy. I originally bought the ozzy blu ray, that was the first release to have this "new" 4k scan. I watched it and sold it a few days later.
@garytilford6503 like I said Gary it never really bothered me but it clearly bothers you and for that reason I completely understand why you would give it a miss. Maybe sometime in the future they might revisit it
Hi Keith thanks for making me aware to these transfers! Talking james cameron transfers: I have the T2 4k and used it to see what my new lg oled g4 wich came out a few months ago can deliever....I was more then blown away by the picture and sound and i think what are those people complainilg about!?!? If they would put effort like this into every transfer i'd easily say Shut up and take my money to every 4k disc👍 Greets from germany Stefan
Stefan it's great to hear that you got so much out of the Terminator 2 4K transfer. I'm not going to lie I'm not a fan of it myself but having said that I haven't ran it through my brand new Sony OLED TV so chances are I could feel different about it. But I do remember there was far too much DNR applied to the picture. But if you enjoyed it that is the most important thing. Don't let anybody make you think otherwise including myself
I also bought Aliens and Abyss due to your positive review back then and trust your word and also being positive with having seen T2 myself! Havent watched yet but looking forward to it! Thanks for replying😊
Sony did a more recent steelbook release of Groundhog day that added Dolby Vision. Both versions look great but the Dolby Vision one looks even better.
Yes you are absolutely correct Joe and apparently the same can be said for stand by me if you buy the Steelbook edition. I'm hoping to pick up both sometime in the future. Great to hear that Groundhog Day looks better. That will give me all the incentive that I need
I have a Samsung soundboard with a subwoofer. Why does some movies shake our apartment with atmos and others with atmos sound flat. Especially when atmos is added to older films.
I presuming it's simply down to the movie Alan. Not every single Dolby Atmos soundtrack I've heard sounds amazing. The thing is Atmos can be very effective when it's done right particularly on older movies. I only just watched Star Wars the other night and that sounded phenomenal
hey Keith, thanks for the overview. did youpay full price for the „war of the worlds“ imprint edition? shipping alone would be 45 aud and thats just too much. cheers 🍻
After so long of not buying any thing minus new releases I bought state of grace with Sean penn Gary old man probably the most under seen gem of a gangster film anyway I ordered from eBay I was going to from Zavvi after hearing your horror stories I said no
I honestly never heard of the movie but I will definitely check it out particularly hearing who stars in it. Honestly Sean I think you made the smart decision ordering it from eBay instead of Zavvi. Not everybody has the issues that I have with them but there is no denying their customer service is an absolute joke. I really hope it works out for you. But thank you for the heads up
Keith why on Earth are you watching Crazy Rich Asians?!?! 🤷♂️ I mean it just doesn’t seem like your type of film. Are you getting paid to shill this? 🤷♂️
Seeing 1.85 : 1 aspect ratio always gets me excited. I like when the picture fills the whole screen.
Yeah that's my go to aspect ratio as well. The full real estate as I like to call it.
Keith, thank you for bringing up "It's A Wonderful Life" I bought it as soon as it was available. Total classic!
I'm actually contemplating on doing a singular video for that movie sometime over the Christmas period. I can't stress to you how much I love it and I am so ecstatic to see it get this kind of treatment. Thank you for checking it out Mark
Love The Martian! Fantastic Dolby Atmos too!
I will definitely look into picking it up hopefully sometime in the very near future. Thanks for stopping by Frank
The extended version of The Martian is my favorite version. If you haven't seen it, you should seek it out. It felt like a fuller, more complete movie.
I think the only reason to why I never picked it up is because I didn't think there was going to be much added to it. I will definitely look into it now. Thanks for the heads up
Always regret missing this it’s a wonderful life steel book! Gutted ! Such an amazing film
I didn't realise it was out of print. It's a beautiful Steelbook no question about it.
I have both Groundhog Day and the extended version of the Martian and both are great.
A couple in that list that I now need to get.

Seriously though..... Interesting video. I really enjoyed it.
Not forget about the hellfest slipcover. Also very reasonably priced
Arrow videos 4k release of The Lighthouse, was another great Black & White picture was great too.
I never got around to picking up that edition. To tell you the truth Nigel I never actually seen the movie. I really need to add it to my list
Great video mate 👍🏻 the nun 1 and part 2 are fantastic picture quality on Blu-ray imo so I can imagine how good 4 k Blu-ray looks
I thought the nun looked fantastic on 4K until I seen the sequel. Both look absolutely fantastic and I'm sure they look equally as impressive on Blu-ray. Thank you so much Stuart for stopping by
Great picks Keith! And you’re correct there is an extended edition of the Martian with Atmos on it.
Yeah like I said in the video Will I am just waiting to get it at the right price. I honestly can't wait to check it out. Thank you so much for stopping by
@@millerman9991 always an enjoyable time.
Wow I really appreciate that my friend. Means the world
Great review as always, I must get grease and amitiville and the old war of the world's to add to the collection..
Trust me Colum you will not be disappointed. They look absolutely astonishing on 4k. Thank you for stopping by my friend. I hope all is well.
Great video Keith 👍
Very kind of you to say Chris. Thank you for stopping by
2012 is a one and done for me, half the world dies and everyone who survives loses somebody but at the end they all sail off into the sunset happy as Larry, it's like you're suddenly watching a cruise line advert.
The biggest problem I have with 2012 is it has far too much humour in it especially when you consider everything that's happening. But unfortunately that is Roland Emmerich for you. He always put in unnecessary humour into his disaster movies. But it's still a fun popcorn movie. More than a visual treat than anything else
Hi Keith I have not seen all of the movies you have reviewed what I have seen the picture quality was outstanding
I honestly can't recommend all 10 enough Mike. You might not like every movie but trust me you'll have no complaints with the 4K transfers. Thank you as always for stopping by
Great video mate will done
Thank you as always Danny for your support. Really appreciate it my friend
Don’t worry some of those titles are on my want list Keith. 👍❤️
You are in for a treat Stephen. Every single transfer looks amazing. I really hope you can get around to picking them up
@@millerman9991 the only problem,they just get added to an ever increasing list. 😂👍
I am right there with you Stephen trust me. My list is crazy at the moment
Great list Keith, I’ve held off on Grease for sometime, but will pick it up soon. Again don’t want to beat a dead horse but a Jaw dropping visual experience is Paprika I’ve never been into Anime and it’s such a weird film but a totally different experience from our “ Normal” viewing experience. The Atmos is something that you will not believe for a Anime film, I thought I was going to watch maybe ten minutes of it but could not turn it off. 2012 was a delight. My have to get Nun 2 and WOTW thanks again my friend and it will be the last time a mention Paprika 🤣. Cheers 🇺🇸😎🇮🇪
Do not be afraid of mentioning paprika to me Michael because I love the way your passion comes across in the comment section when you do talk about it. It actually makes me want to pick it up. As for everything I mentioned in this video you have nothing to worry about. Every single one of them look and sound amazing. Buy with Confidence my friend. A huge thank you Michael for taking the time to stop by
Love the Stand By Me 4K. Looked incredible!. It's a Wonderful Life another amazing B&W. I haven't got War of the Worlds yet. Need to since I have the Tom Cruise remake which blows the socks off the BD. Amityville Horror another great release from VS. Absolute classic preserved beautifully.Martian, same here...I only have that version. I did not even know about the extended cut when I bought it.
Yeah there is an extended version of the Martian but I don't know how much it extends the movie. Sometimes those directors cuts can be somewhat hit and miss. Like I said in the video I'm waiting to get it at the right price. I highly recommend War of the Worlds as well by the way. Just like yourself I thought that Tom Cruise 4K release was absolutely phenomenal. The original is equally as impressive
@@millerman9991 I feel same with director cuts. They aren't always better. I may be in the minority but I did NOT like the new cut of Rocky 4, and also have mixed feelings about Superman II Richard Donner Cut.
@screamingeekmedia I'm not going to lie I have absolutely no interest in checking out Rocky 4 the Director's Cut. The movie was fine as it is
War of the worlds,
John Clancy on his Movie Collector channel did a brilliant video on the 4K of WOTW..
Even goes into the methodology on how it was originally filmed
Hey Chris. John is a very good friend of mine and it goes without saying but I have seen that video. That mans knowledge is absolutely astonishing. It's almost intimidating to talk to him 😂😂
@@millerman9991
The guy is a legend..
When everyone else does a 4K review, they’ll do a comparison with a standard Blu-Ray.. but John.. he sometimes compares it with a 35mm film print..
You don’t see many others do that.
Absolutely Brilliant!
@chris967092 I honestly couldn't agree with you more Chris. Like I said his knowledge is vast and he is a huge inspiration to me. There's not many out there like him and it's probably why he has such a successful CZcams channel
Thanks Keith great video I be checking out the Martian. And definitely the amityville horror. Please do another one of these videos. 😊
What would I do to be in your shoes seeing the Martian and the Amityville Horror on 4K for the first time. They look absolutely astonishing. You are in for a treat my friend. I will definitely be doing more of these in the future. Thank you for stopping by
Great work Keith....was thinking of picking up greese on 4k....but wasn't sure if ther would be a big difference between the remastered BD or the 4k ....👍
Oh my god Roy it's not a big difference it's a monumental one. I definitely recommend checking it out my friend.
Yes war of the worlds and it's a wonderful life look incredible on 4 k
Like I said in the video Stuart it's movies like them is the reason to why I have a 4K setup. Never seen them look as good as they do on 4k
@@millerman9991 just beautiful 😍
2012 was bat shit lol .. saw that one in the theatres when I was younger, I’ll never forget the shot of California flipping over on the tectonic plate, sinking straight into the pacific.
Near the end, it gets a little bit out of control... John Cusack & his family are passengers on these apocalyptic Chinese made, all-terrain vehicles. They are going down waterfall, switching from land to water… I’m not sure if the CGI holds up but I bet the audio does.
I have to admit the CGI holds up very well under the scrutiny of 4k. But like I said in the video it's the Dolby Atmos that really stands out.
The movie itself is not one of my favourite disaster movies. There's a bit too much humour considering everything that's happening in the movie. Unfortunately that is a trait of Roland Emmerich
Stand by me. What an experience.
"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
That is one of my favourite lines in that movie. I think every young person can relate to this movie. We all had friends like that where we use to go on our own Adventures. It's probably why I love the movie as much as I do
The Revenant 4k UHD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yeah that is a great shout out. I really need to revisit that one
great vid bud keep up the good work i see your intro music has changed from assault on pre 13 a great movie 4 k would be great and zulu to tc steve
Yeah unfortunately I had to change my intro because I got a copyright claim on the Assault on Precinct 13 one. I would do anything to see that movie get a 4K release
well i can under stand that love the movie wsestworld great popcorn would love to see a 4k of that to
I still haven't gotten around to checking out Westworld. I've got a beautiful Blu-ray edition of it just very recently. Hopefully I will check it out soon
Great video Keith... where did you get that Grease steelbook from? Looks decent 😃
I'm almost certain I got the Steelbook from Amazon UK. It's long out of print though. Your best bet would be eBay at this point
Great video Keith! Glad to say I have the majority of them! Stand By Me I recently picked up a nice steelbook for . Groundhog Day is one of my all time favourites and have that a while. I'll definitely pick up The Amityville Horror after your comments . Hope you and Ellen are well and talk to you Friday on the stream! Regards Alan
The good thing about you getting the Steelbook of Stand By Me is you will get Dolby vision with your version where you don't get it with mine. The same can be said for Groundhog Day if you get the Steelbook. I'm hoping to pick both of them up myself someday. Thank you as always Alan for taking the time to stop by. Look forward to the stream on Friday my friend
Have you watched Coraline in 4k? Glorious transfer..
I've heard so many great things about the transfer. Still haven't gotten around to picking it up.
I want Laika to release their complete 4k set already.
Great selection there matey.. awesome to hear Amityville Horror is as good as you say in 4k.. I e of my all time fav horrors.. definitely one I'll be upgrading to 4k when I can 😎👍
You are in for fun treat when you finally check out the Amityville Horror on 4k. Like I said in the video you will not find a single fault with it. Perfection in my eyes. Thank you so much for stopping by
Im just about to watch my UK 4K of The War Of The Worlds, and i remember being blown away by it. The colours had so much depth to them, and the picture was so crystal clear it was like it was filmed this century. It's an amazing film anyway, and i had to make it an essential purchase. The fact it had When Worlds Collide on a separate blu ray was the cherry on the cake
I had an absolute blast revisiting this movie myself Mike. Like you said the colours really do make a huge difference and it elevated my enjoyment of it. To see it on my Sony OLED TV was a sight to BEHOLD. I really hope someday When Worlds Collide gets a 4K release. God knows it deserves it. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by and I really hope you enjoy the movie
@@millerman9991 War Of The Worlds '52 is in my top twenty best films ever, if not in my top ten. It's just a great movie, and the restoration that's been done to it is exceptional.
I couldn't agree more with you Mike. I am half tempted to watch it again
@millerman9991 go on. Be a devil. I'm at the bit in the farmhouse and, my word, it is so spectacular. I can't believe how fantastic the flesh tones are on Ann Robinson & Gene Barry.
@thatotherretroguy like I said in the video the movie is shot in Technicolor and if they get the 4K transfer right it was always going to look spectacular. Thank god they got it right
Great video as always Keith and a good heads up for some of them. I have The Martian on 4K but not watched it yet.... will be doing so soon 👍
Do me a favour John whenever you get around to watching the Martian get back to me and let me know what you thought of that picture quality. It's reference quality
@@millerman9991 Will do Keith, just started watching Mare Of Easttown tonight so will probably be the weekend 🤞
@johnfitzpatrick9994 I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it John.
@@millerman9991Hey Keith, I watched The Martian 4K tonight and it looks fab, just like looking through a window at Mars, even though it does look fab I do prefer the 3D version, it's marginal though, if there was no 3D version then I'd be more than happy to have the 4K version as it is impressive, hadn't seen the film for a few years so was more than happy with the challenge you gave me 👍
@johnfitzpatrick9994 that's the great thing John at least you have the option of the 4K and 3D. Both of them I think are reference quality but like I said in the video my go to way for now is the 4k. Always puts the biggest smile on my face that 4K release
Oh man. For the first one I swear I thought u we’re going to put HellFest hahah.
No I think I pulled out hellfest far too often in my videos. I thought I would give it a break
@@millerman9991 How was Nun 2? Haven’t seen any of those. But tempted now
It doesn't have a big fan base out there but I really enjoyed the movie. I actually enjoy both. But I think the second is the better
Mate u seen 12 Angry Men ? The B&W one? I will LOVE it
No I never got around to it. It's definitely on my radar
Good video to watch this is. Nice to see people talking about 4k vids that no one else is talking about, especially movies that stand the test of time.
I'm a physical movie collector myself who hasn't made the leap ro 4k. Mainly because im tired of buying the next big thing and thinking is it or was it worth the financial outlay?
Being the geek that I am, I have listed all my DVD/Blu-ray movies and TV show's into a spreadsheet.
Then I have highlighted the one's that I'll watch again and again and upgrade these to 4k at some point.
So your comments on stand by me, the Martian and groundhog day are in my list "to upgrade list" means I'll be getting these at some point soon.
To be honest I'm not particularly surprised that you haven't made the jump to 4K as of yet. There are so many people out there just like yourself. You sometimes forget how fantastic the Blu-ray format is. But I have said it so many times in so many videos it is the older movies where you start seeing significant upgrades and there is a few fantastic ones featured in this video. I really hope your first 4k will be the Martian because that was mine. I know it's not an older movie but I knew there and then we were seeing something very special in terms of 4k. I hope you get as much out of it as I did whenever you do decide to make that leap onto 4k.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video even though you don't have a 4K setup. I really appreciate the support and I really hope this video has helped you out in some way
@@millerman9991 No worries you make good content.
Yourself and a few others that make content on 4k movies, is pushing me towards getting a 4K player that bit sooner.
I have 2x 4k discs already the Martian (one of my favourite movies) and the revenant which I've seen but not that bothered about, however they were bought for £1 each.
I won't upgrade my whole collection just the ones I deem watchable multiple times I.e. interstellar, arrival Shawshank redemption, back to the future, uncle buck to name a cand most M. Night Shyamalan movies..... About 60-70 all in all but I don't think some of them have a Blu-ray version yet so can't see a 4k version coming.
Keith, ya missed one buddy. I watched the Mask of Zorro 4k disc last weekend and was so blown away I just couldn't believe it was filmed in 35mm almost 30 years ago. If you haven't seen it I implore you to give it a go
A huge thank you for the recommendation Scott and I will definitely get around to checking it out on 4K especially after reading this comment. Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know
Excellent vid Keith, still haven't got Groundhog Day on 4k,love 2012,love It's a Wonderful Life 4k one of my early reviews😅
I've said this to a few people in the comments section Marty but if you ever decide to pick up Groundhog Day on 4K make sure to buy the Steelbook release because you get Dolby vision with that. It doesn't come on the standard edition. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by
@millerman9991 Thanks bud I'll do that 👍
@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk no problem at all Marty
You know Keith, Ellen recommended Groundhog Day to me some time ago and I still haven't gotten around to seeing it. Stand By Me looks gorgeous in 4K and it's an incredible movie. 2012 is another great looking film. I still need to watch the Nun movies. I love your steelbook of Grease, it's like the school locker. I agree, The Amityville Horror is another great looking movie in 4K. Talking of stunning looking 4K, you were right about Pearl's opening sequence with the barn doors opening, wow. Also the first shot of the lake with the alligator was also an amazing shot in 4K.
Yeah Gary that scene with the barn doors in Pearl literally blew my socks off. To be honest the entire movie looks incredible. Do me a favour Gary please watch Groundhog Day as soon as you can and if you do make sure you get the 4K transfer. Every time I feel down or upset that is my go to movie to cheer me up. Trust me my friend you will not be disappointed. I would never steer you wrong. But thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by. I really appreciate the support
@@millerman9991 For sure I will check out Groundog Day and when I do I will let you know. Thanks again Keith.
I honestly cannot wait to hear what you think of it. I really hope you get as much out of it as I do
I bought 'The Sting' on 4k disc last year & thought it was stunning.
Totally agree. Looks phenomenal.
I keep forgetting that the Sting came out on 4k. I really need to pick that up myself. Thanks for the heads up on the transfer
I totally agree about Groundhog Day and Stand By Me. Sony truely are the reference for catalogue releases. The steelbook versions of these do have DV in case you were unaware. Sony have be re-releasing their early 4Ks with DV, usually as steelbooks.
Yeah I have every intention in the world of picking up the Steelbook Editions for both releases. I'm not expecting a drastic difference in picture quality but it would be nice to get them on Steelbook form. Just waiting to get them at the right price. But I absolutely agree with everything you said Mike when it comes to Sony. They never disappoint
@@millerman9991 A few of the Sony's upgraded releases also now use a 100gb disc instead of 66gb so compression should be improved. I know Groundhog Day is one.
That's fair regarding pricing. You and I, heck most of us now have to rely on online ordering and finding the best deal is a challenge in of itself.
@@millerman9991 My original reply to this disappeared. 😅I said some of the Sony reissues (but not all) also use a larger disc for better compression. Groundhog Day is one. Don't blame you on waiting for the right place. WowHD is worth checking out as the price is all-in, international shipping is free.
I heard a lot that the 2012 4K was not a good transfer, so I never bought it. I guess it's on my list to buy again.
It's not a true Night and Day difference over the Blu-ray but trust me there is a difference and it's a welcome one. It's definitely worth checking out Alan
That T2 Lassrdiac in your background I have that myself and if you remember from Friday tell Nige I have the scream laserdisc fully uncut
Nigel always talks about that laserdisc of scream. I'm not sure if he got rid of it or does he still have it. But I will tell him
@@millerman9991 I’ve been asked to sell mine a few times no chance
I don’t have the jaws box set either if I did he wasn’t getting it 😂
I do have all on 4k steel book tho 😊
Just had the fall guy 4k steelbook
Some fantastic recommendations there Keith. Grease was one of the first 4ks I bought and it looks brilliant. I have the extended edition of The Martian and that also looks great. I still need to get Groundhog Day (slip cover edition or steelbook). Now we come to War Of The Worlds. The thing that put me off getting this on 4k is that all versions, in all territories have very incorrect colours on the opening scene, they have made Mars blue. Criterion did correct this when they released it on blu ray though so I may get that instead. Take care both of you. Gaz.
See that's the thing with myself Gary there is no way I would ever allow a scene that's only a couple of seconds long put me off an entire release. I know there was a lot of complaints out there but it never bothered me. If you ever decide to pick up Groundhog Day make sure to try and get the Steelbook edition because if you do you will get Dolby vision with it. You don't get it with the standard release. I'm not sure if it will make a drastic difference but I would love to see it for myself. Thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by
@@millerman9991 It was a couple of minutes Keith, even Saturn looked light blue. The 50s version of War Of The Worlds is one of my favourite films of all time and when they get it so wrong it puts you off getting a copy. I originally bought the ozzy blu ray, that was the first release to have this "new" 4k scan. I watched it and sold it a few days later.
@garytilford6503 like I said Gary it never really bothered me but it clearly bothers you and for that reason I completely understand why you would give it a miss. Maybe sometime in the future they might revisit it
Hi Keith thanks for making me aware to these transfers! Talking james cameron transfers: I have the T2 4k and used it to see what my new lg oled g4 wich came out a few months ago can deliever....I was more then blown away by the picture and sound and i think what are those people complainilg about!?!? If they would put effort like this into every transfer i'd easily say Shut up and take my money to every 4k disc👍
Greets from germany
Stefan
Stefan it's great to hear that you got so much out of the Terminator 2 4K transfer. I'm not going to lie I'm not a fan of it myself but having said that I haven't ran it through my brand new Sony OLED TV so chances are I could feel different about it. But I do remember there was far too much DNR applied to the picture. But if you enjoyed it that is the most important thing. Don't let anybody make you think otherwise including myself
I also bought Aliens and Abyss due to your positive review back then and trust your word and also being positive with having seen T2 myself! Havent watched yet but looking forward to it!
Thanks for replying😊
Aliens and the Abyss looks absolutely astonishing. You are in for a treat when you check them out. You have nothing to worry about
Also enjoyed the last stream you did with nige and wife! I am subscribed to nigel quite recently👌
@sgr8468 thank you so much Stefan for doing that. I'll make sure to tell Nigel that. He will massively appreciate it
Wrath of the titans 4k special edition collector's set on arrow 🔛 dispatch later today
Just had cannibal apocalypse and dark angel 4k usa 🇺🇸 released
Sony did a more recent steelbook release of Groundhog day that added Dolby Vision. Both versions look great but the Dolby Vision one looks even better.
Yes you are absolutely correct Joe and apparently the same can be said for stand by me if you buy the Steelbook edition. I'm hoping to pick up both sometime in the future. Great to hear that Groundhog Day looks better. That will give me all the incentive that I need
@@millerman9991 I think you'll be pleased with the upgrade especially with your TV. Thanks for the video Keith. I always enjoy them.
I really appreciate that Joe and thanks again for stopping by and letting me know about that. I am currently hunting it down as we speak
Hope this War of the Worlds doesn’t have the Blue Mars shot at the beginning of the film.
Unfortunately it does. The one downside to a fantastic transfer
@@millerman9991 geez they could have color corrected it 🤦♂️
Yeah like I said the one downside
I have a Samsung soundboard with a subwoofer. Why does some movies shake our apartment with atmos and others with atmos sound flat. Especially when atmos is added to older films.
I presuming it's simply down to the movie Alan. Not every single Dolby Atmos soundtrack I've heard sounds amazing. The thing is Atmos can be very effective when it's done right particularly on older movies. I only just watched Star Wars the other night and that sounded phenomenal
hey Keith, thanks for the overview. did youpay full price for the „war of the worlds“ imprint edition? shipping alone would be 45 aud and thats just too much.
cheers 🍻
That War of the Worlds edition was actually given to me as a gift. A friend of mine who lives in Australia sent it my way
💪 lovely edition, well deserved! Thanks for sharing
@Badvision very kind of you to say my friend. Thanks again for stopping by
I Love Crazy Rich Asians
Yeah I think it's a fun movie
After so long of not buying any thing minus new releases I bought state of grace with Sean penn Gary old man probably the most under seen gem of a gangster film anyway I ordered from eBay I was going to from Zavvi after hearing your horror stories I said no
I honestly never heard of the movie but I will definitely check it out particularly hearing who stars in it. Honestly Sean I think you made the smart decision ordering it from eBay instead of Zavvi. Not everybody has the issues that I have with them but there is no denying their customer service is an absolute joke. I really hope it works out for you. But thank you for the heads up
Keith why on Earth are you watching Crazy Rich Asians?!?! 🤷♂️ I mean it just doesn’t seem like your type of film. Are you getting paid to shill this? 🤷♂️
Are you kidding I absolutely love romantic comedies. I love everything movie related. Who would be paying me for this
@@millerman9991 hmmmm… okay…
Again who would pay me
@@millerman9991 just seems so out of left field I pegged you for a cult movie fan
No like I said I love everything. I can't stress you how much I actually enjoyed Crazy Rich Asians.
