Just out of curiosity.
I saw some HDR glitches in this film, but after reading a few reviews, lots of user comments on BluRay.com... nobody has noticed them  . I wonder how this particular shot of the UHD at 1:27:59 look on your TVs? (Picture is not even tonemapped, or anything)![[Image: glitch.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/y3kCqBxv/glitch.png) This is fixed on the regrade, of course. Thanks given by: BDgeek

That's great sanjuro_61, these glitches always bothered me.
I remember reading some discussions about it on Blu-ray.com foruns. But 'oficial' reviews almost never get these things. I haven't trusted them for years.

Out of interest (I might not be able to see what you're talking about on my 8-bit monitor), could you try to describe what the glitch in the above image looks like so I know what I'm looking for? Keen to learn more about HDR but don't have any equipment to play around with it on.

It's pretty much what you see in that picture. The fluorescent lights are not white, but a very bright cyan.

Is blutopia the only place to access this?
I don't have a membership there.

This looks AMAZING! I remember reading somewhere that the 4K blu-ray is the colour timing of the film in cinemas but when I looked at it something looked off. There were these cyan and magenta hues that threw me off.

Really, really impressive work Sanjuro_61. Feels like the first time this movie looks like it should. I can't believe how bad the DVD was. I used to watch it so much.

I am interested in a copy if possible (send me a PM), too. I want to see if this somehow improves the awful, overbearing puke green tint that has been implemented into this movie for so long, to supposedly match the color grading of the sequels. In its recent UHD release, supervised by the original director of photography, Bill Pope, they said this change has been rectified.
But whenever I see the 1st movie with any hint of it (which is still there in the 4K) that throws me off. That's like watching Dracula (1979) with that dreadful desaturated color timing (decades later they decided to release with the original theatrical color timing). That's why I am also interested in seeing the "the 35mm Version 2 print scan released a few years ago" from the 1st Matrix, that you mention in the first post of this thread. You said it "looks like crap and colors are way off". Even if it's bad it would also give me some temporary relief because I can't stand watching this movie knowing it has been modified from its original version/the way it was supposed to look like for so long. The same sentiment I had for Superman: The Movie (1978) when they only made available since 2000 the modified soundtrack (Warner also took years to release the original one, in DVD/Blu-ray/4K). |
