I like it, but it’s not a movie I need to see more than once a decade, but if I could order this now, I’d buy it and pray there’s no 8K disk coming before 2027 (about the time I’d watch it again).

They can't justify so called 4K, and you're thinking about some 8K.
It will not exist.
Not on discs anyway, maybe as a download for those delusional folk, that buy 'blu-spec' or SHM-CDs to play on their gold-plated frame decks.

8k is outdated. 16k is the future. More K is better.

The only problem is we’ll need to upgrade eyes.

And didn’t tell about 1080i.

 

[Stu123]

I don't think any movies are finished in 8K, so unless you're a professional photographer wanting to look at your photos in that resolution it's a waste of time. What are the odds they push this release back again.

I'd say the odds on the early July release are better now that Everythingblu published the finished Deluxe box art across social media, but then I guess it depends on how old that video capture was.

...or 2160p.

They'll wait for 8K.

I in some scenes I can see the pixels on a 65” 4k set (and i don’t have perfect vision). Now move up to 80”+ and the benefit will become more obvious. Saw u2 in ‘17 and the 8K was very emersive, so long as you didn’t get too close to the stage. MSG‘s Sphere in Vegas is going to have a 16k screen. everytime there’s an advance in Tech, people say ”we don’t need that.” I recall that with 1080p vs 1080i. Just because people don’t buy it doesn’t mean it’s not better. Most people listen to MP3s, but they’re obviously inferior to a CD. I’ve done double blind tests more than once (using music I wasn’t familiar with) and each time I picked the lossless stream 80% of the time (despite hearing loss)

Mp3 isn't just a set quality though. Was this back in. 2003 with like a super low bit rate?

 

[Steely-Booked]

I’m talking 320kbs. If you can’t hear the difference, then you don’t know what to listen for. MP3 is perfectly acceptable in a car or while exercising, but if you’re actually listening to the music in quiet place or with decent headphones you can hear it (or at least I can).

Yeah most films are finished with a 2K DI because of CGI.
But the likes of Spider Man Far From Home/No Way Home, Hobbit Trilogy & Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 was shot in 8k.
The Amazing Spider-Man 1&2 was shot in 6k
But all finished in lower resolution because of CGI being too expensive and time consuming to do in the native resolutions.
Shame really.
Probably why a lot of films with CGI usually have a native 4k scan so maybe those films could get the treatment.
And I'm sure by time 8k becomes the normal upscaling technology will be at a level for it to work we with that material without it being noticeabl¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Stu123]

How many days before the stated release date did we have to go before they postponed it last time?

I think it was the Friday beforehand from memory

 

[Stu123]

2 Days left, is this finally it? I'm waiting for the email saying that my payment didn't go through so they've cancelled it after I've waited over 7 months. They couldn't care less how long we've been waiting along as they sell them.

I think they payment for Rambo came out on Friday. So realistically I'm expecting it today. I can't remember a single time a zavvi pre order came out over the weekend.

That being said they have been really bad last few weeks and my mission impossible steels never took payment from when they werw due on 26th. So I got those from hmv. Also never took payment for Avatar 4k.

 

[Stu123]

I'm not confident for mine at all. Whoever gets my copy , enjoy

 

[Pizzapizza98]

No payment been taken for mine
