One of the earlier scene with him in the church was frightening I haven’t seen it since the cinema, need to rewatch. I remember preferring the second film actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stylistic choice to give it a gritty low fidelity look that mimics a camcorder recording. It does admittedly look terrible on Blu Ray though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'd struggle to watch it at home haha. I genuinely can't stomach watching DVDs on my 4K TV, I have to watch them on my PC or PS4 that's hooked up to a 1080p monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, most stuff has been put out on Blu-ray or is streaming somewhere in HD. I think the last DVD I watched was a concert that hasn’t been available on anything else. Randomly, 28 Days Later is streaming here in the UK on Disney+😂 and it says “HD”. So is the sequel.

I find that 4K upscaling can only do so much, it works okay for Blu Rays, but DVD’s still look like someone smeared Vaseline over the screen. The image is still natively around 540p (or 480p in the US), so stretching that to 4K isn’t really ideal at all. I’m a bit of a resolution snob 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a bit of a resolution snob 😂 Yeh it doesn’t upscale DVD’s to 4K lol, they can look a bit cleaner though. I have all the right stuff, the TV, PS5, 4K player etc but I’m not really that into resolutions. I’m sure they’ll announce 8K soon and I’ll struggle to see a notable difference lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I still don't even have a 4k TV. Spent £2200 on a 3D TV back in 2012 and couldn't justify buying another so soon. I know as soon as I get a 4k screen, 8k will start becoming cheaper. I sometimes just go to my local Currys and stare at all the ridiculously priced TV's I can't afford, those 8k's look amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 8K is where I draw the line, I sometimes struggle to see the difference between a 4K and regular bluray disk. Plus there's no 8k content outside of gaming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's no 8k content outside of gaming That's the thing, gaming is what I would use it for most. Then again a monitor would be cheaper. If I had a spare room big enough I'd love a projector for films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes me wonder if Kermode and all those other critics turned it off/walked out at the 50 minute mark. I’ve honestly not seen a film tank itself that badly in years. Without going into spoilers, the last shot feels like something out of a bad student film where they think they’re being “deep” and clever.

Guessing £1.5m Free Guy, £1m Candyman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
