I haven't done anything with my order as I've only just seen this thread. I've had no emails off Amazon yet and in my order page it just says "Delayed, not yet shipped"
Panicking now as to just let it roll or try and change the payment details!

Don’t blame me if something goes wrong, but I’d just change the card to the same card (or if you have multiple cards one of them)

I never even gave it a second thought. What’s the worst that can happen? Everyone who seems to have had an issue have solved it

You're all like little chickens aboard a sinking ship or something doing pointless movements and thanking for nothing.
Nothing ever happened to an Amazon order, it's just getting delayed, or rescheduled, or whatever. It can be hard sometimes to cancel one, never ever has any order been canceled by itself in 24 years I've been a customer.

It does happen sometimes but not often
I had a few amazon UK orders cancelled by amazon themselves before due to no stock available
They was pre ordered items

I had this happen in 2019 and 2020 with 3 orders

Is it just me or is the colour timing on the shot outside of the house VERY blue? I don't think I have ever seen it look like that in any release?

Not sure I am a fan of that choice tbh.

There's a blue tint in a lot of scenes in that clip. I've never seen it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's another screwed up UHD transfer. :shipped:

I have seen the blue tint in previous transfers during the bedroom scenes for sure and the argument was that the bedroom is cold so the blue tint shows that it's cold.

But the blue tint on the outside of the house looks ridiculous, like they literally went in and smeared a smurfs butt on it :shipped:.

I just don't understand that change personally, that is such an iconic scene for the movie and it kind of ruins the atmosphere of it imo.

Yeah, even without watching the film, I remember that scene as brownish grey, but maybe I'm confusing it with the original posters.
I understand completely though, as I'm wholly against such changes. They ruined entire movies for me, like Training Day and The Matrix.

Found this clip, seemingly taken from a Blu-ray, as it was posted 9 months ago, and it's already blue. So if they changed it, they did it a while ago. Maybe LD had original coloring, as is usually the case.

Completely agree, have seen the movie more times than I can count but haven't updated it since DVD and the blue tint isn't present on the DVD so it must have been added on the blu ray release. I essentially skipped Blu Ray as a format and have been collecting 4k since it's inception so was really excited for this one.

However, the 4K looks even worse than the clip you posted, maybe it's the added saturation (which works well in some scenes) but definitely not in that scene.

I just wish boutique labels would get releases like this because the love and attention that goes into them compared to the big studios is night and day, I have a few boutique releases such as Vinegar Syndrome, Shout Factory and Kino that I imported as well as some Arrow video releases and they are all stellar!

Also, I agree on both Training Day and The Matrix.
