Yeah and like I said. There’s no green scenes (crap as Lenny put it)

At least none that stand out and ruins the film :rofl:
It doesn't ruin the film imo, no. It's a great transfer. That one scene looked very green though lol and I remember loads of people bleating about it when the WB disc came out.
 
The one I went for which is the U.K. collectors edition because overall it’s better

I like this with the red title but universal did a fantastic job on the collectors set and steelbook that I wouldn’t trade it for the world. One of the best non premium steels and packages of the year. There’s literally no green scenes in the 4K lol

There are for me. I can't watch the new Training Day, it's ruined orange.
I can't watch new transfers of The Matrix, LotR, and many other movies. Them directors got new toys and went crazy yo... I'm this close to going back to Laserdiscs or DVDs, so that's where I'm at, to be clear. And there's no authority for me.

It's not (the BR is 4K-remastered). Plus, the Auro version was on a separate disc from the Atmos one.
They're selling the Auro BD separately in an amaray in a Fullslip with a booklet (which is likely the same as the booklet in the mediabook).

The previous blu-ray was also 4k remastered. It's all from the same source. I didn't know there was 2 separate discs, 1 with atmos, 1 with auro. Assumed both tracks were on the same disc. In which case, no, I'd gather it'd just be the atmos disc.
 
It was not.

It literally says it was a remastered disc on the packaging.
Yes, and there were already transfer comparisons between Blu-rays, before UHD, snd I could see the difference even in YouTube videos, and was thinking I'd at least have that BD if they don't release their UHD version.
I think they put the same transfer now just without compression to 1080p.
 
Remastered, but not from the (new) 4K master.

The actual 4K master was actually made later than the Turbine BluRay.

That would be impossible for either of you to say. Since Twister never had a DI, for it to be remastered in the first place Turbine would've had to have gone back to the original elements, making that 2021 blu-ray itself a "new" master, which likely would've been 4K. It'd make no sense doing anything else.

The listing says the 4k disc is newly remastered in 4k, it does not say the same for the blu-ray. There's no "new" there. It simply says it a 4k remastered blu-ray, which as I said above is what I'd expected the 2021 remastered blu-ray was anyway.

WT* are you after... ? :confused:

It is what it is, believe it or not. :naughty: Edit: you are aware that TheHutt and myself are also members a German forum, where Turbine posts tech infos about their releases regularly...?

What I am after? Nothing lol you're both making arguments, from me saying I expected this to be the same remastered disc as previous. Thats it. The listing doesn't say anything different.

If you've got a link to Turbine, who can confirm the blu-ray in this is from an entirely different 4K scan than the previous one, then fair enough, but that isn't evident from what's been posted

Turbine's press release does say exactly that. Actually, so does the listing in Turbine Shop (under "Extras").

"Apart from the UHD100, both editions contain a remastered Blu-ray based on the new restoration."

Wasn't, though. Was the old Universal master, probably from before the DNR step was applied to it.
The 4K restoration and the 2021 Turbine Blu have distinctively different looks to them.

It was. They remastered that bluray. It wasn't the same source as the old universal one. There was a fuss made about it at the time, both from collectors comparing it and turbine. You haven't seen the "new" 4k remaster from turbine, so you can't compare it to the US 4K yet.

It was totally the same source as the Universal one. At least as the common working base.

And needless to say, Turbine's remaster was not 4K-based. That 4K remaster was a more recent one, supervised by Jan de Bont, where he also tweaked the colors.
