All Blu-ray releases should be done in 4k. The last couple of movies that I've reviewed from Sony have had incredible coloring and details. I hope that other studios follow suit because 4k is the way to go

According to reports there could be 4K blu rays at the end of 2014. Basically Samsung Vice President said they already have the tech in place and are hoping once all the other interested party's agree, (BDA) etc... They can start releasing 4K Blu's by the end of the year, and media players capable of reading them........
It will be a high capacity 4 layer Blu-ray Disc.......
Nice.... buy 4k disc for favs... throw it in my steelbook
That's not an accurate statement, the "4K mastered" discs are still in 1080p resolution. I am yet to see a real 4K BD (rez 3840 x 2160 not 1920x1080) so without any real true 4K content and TV prices in the clouds, I don't foresee 4K taking over. It's almost like a marketing ploy to double dip on movies at the moment.
Aren't movies already mastered at 4k? Isn't the original master in 4k or 8k before being edited for BD resolutions?

I believe most are still mastered at 2K, though that is gradually changing.(could be wrong though )
4k is the original master. What you have to ask is do the studios who own the movie rights really want consumers to have the master in their hand?
Being realistic it's never going to happen, no matter what the 4K consumer spec is we get for home media it will not be as good as the Digital Master which has normally been 10 bit log DPX files.
Some films like the Hobbit have been shot in 5K on RED EPIC cameras, some films have 6K & 8K transfers scans.
2K is blu-ray
but again those movies you watched was still 1080p .... just 4k mastered content.
But yeah one could argue if you were watching that quality true 4k on 4k screen that it would look great.
Right but what I'm saying is the last 3-4 reviews I've done have been mastered in 4k and they looks spectacular
