I'll have to try harder! I've terrestrial TV, satellite TV (Sky), Netflix & Disney+ and I end up sitting in front of the PC browsing QQDISNEY+ is now streaming James Cameron's AVATAR THE WAY OF WATER in 4K/DOLBY Vision/DD 5.1 and the results are spectacular. The film will be released on June 20th in Native UHD4K and 3D and since I'm about 3/4 through the film all I can say is I'm utterly amazed what Cameron has accomplished in this sequel!
And I'm definitely going to spring for the 3D version as it certainly lends itself to the format [it was shot in REAL 3D].
And since it does fill up the screen I'm assuming Cameron used the IMAX version for release [NO black bars]
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and I urge those with DISNEY+ to avail themselves to this awesomely conceived sequel!
Well, DUNC, time to turn on the tele and behold James Cameron's masterpiece of visual splendor. I kept saying to myself "How does he do this ...' Almost puts all other Marvel Movies CGI to utter SHAME [not that I'm a BIG fan of Marvel ......small doses]I'll have to try harder!

Sound and Vision magazine’s latest issue has a feature article on how JC made the movie. Seems like a helluva lotta work, but then if was easy, I could have done it.Well, DUNC, time to turn on the tele and behold James Cameron's masterpiece of visual splendor.

Best not to watch it in one sitting ...... over 3 hours and visually exhausting as in what is REAL and what is CGI? And the immersive soundtrack helps as well.
Cannot wait to see it in 3D. On my LG OLED 3D TV, it's almost akin to watching it in Native UHD4K.
BRING BACK 3D TV ........
Totally agree, Pete. The Second Sight restoration IS the one to get. It was like watching it for the very first time. A home run, INDEED!The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 4K:
1. I got this one: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre UHD I've seen comparisons to the US release which is apparently from a different scan/colour grade/whatever and the Second Sight one is the one to get apparently. They look different anyway.
2. New Atmos mix pumped out my speakers as 5.1. I couldn't tell any difference (from memory) between it and the DTS-MA 5.1/7.1 on the previous BD release. I say "from memory" as the previous 5.1 mix isn't included on this new 4K so I couldn't flick between the different audio tracks. No big deal though probably as the point is, they made a decent 5.1 mix, better than a lot of new surround mixes, from an almost 50 year old mono mix.
3. New 4K scan of the 16mm negative with Dolby Vision. Everything's as good as you can imagine it should be. Lots of grain present so it appears they didn't smear over it with the digital butter knife.
4. Still a brutal and harrowing watch. I always forget how much screaming Sally does in it. Nasty! I also always forget about that poor truck driver who either has to keep running or turn around and attempt to negotiate Leatherface's spinning chainsaw to get back to his rig. Not sure if that was addressed in a sequel but by golly, I want some answers.
