Films (Almost Entirely Surround)

[timothyemerson]

The X-Files (1993) BD:
1. I've only watched season 1 in this 9-season set and it's a huge step up from the DVD.
2. DTS-MA 5.1 fidelity is great and the surround mix is surprisingly discreet in parts.
3. The widescreen presentation is proper widescreen. It was originally shot in ~1.8:1 but the first 4 or so seasons broadcast/released on DVD were 4x3.
4. A handful of scenes have a noticeable quality drop. It looks like they were shot on video and I think I read that somewhere too. There are hardly any though so don't let it put you off.
5. The plastic cases have some hinge Achilles heels and a few of mine are broken. Annoying but not a show-stopper.
6. Great stories, good memories, great fun. Region-free too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016KKXQAO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cool! I had an English teacher who put on A Nightmare on Elm Street, scored some big points with the kids.

Best Terminator that I've seen in many years. Some funny parts

So I guess it's true that when the critics hate a movie it must be good....and vice versa.

The reviews of Terminator II: Judgment Day in 3D and UHD 4K were abysmal but on my LG OLED Flatscreen both are amazing. Glad I didn't pay attention to the reviews.

Terminator movies by nature are going to be kick ass.

That's good to hear about T2 on 4K. I've avoided it due to reviews about it still looking soft (the BD looked like it had the DNR cranked up to 11) and also a colour shift from the original blue tint to green. I might have to pick it up now!

If you have 3D capability. the 3D is awesome and was CHEAP. Another must have 3D is the original Predator film.....Spectacular!

Seven Worlds, One Planet
David Attenborough

* Saw the episode last night with Great Dusky Swifts within the mighty Iguazú Falls; and the visuals were jaw dropping. Looked like a vista from heaven. If you can get this series I'd highly recommend it. Attenborough's filming is the best!

Whaaat? Looks like it'll be an expensive package, but I won't be able to resist. I wonder which version of the original trilogy they will release, hopefully not the ones with the added scenes

Hereditary. Great sound effects. Not for the weak of heart/mind.

 

[timothyemerson]

Joker (2019) 4K:
1. A few decent discreet surround moments.
2. Some very low room-rattling lows.
3. Great performance by Joaquin, decent story and good fun. Worth a purchase.
