    I'd love to be able to watch every single one of these movies for the first time again. Great deal.

  • RogerP on 17/07/2018 - 20:15

    This is awesome. I saw the Christopher Nolan collection of 6 movies for $220 the other day in JB. Glad I waited it out.

      It was $79 yesterday with Amazon Prime

    • OpayuOnam on 17/07/2018 - 23:02

      Not sure if the same collection but the Amazon was 7 movies if i am counting correctly:

      Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, Inception, The Prestige, Dunkirk

    Not bad prices. But I have learnt never to buy disc movies again. I bought movies in DVD, and when they came out in Bluray looking much better, I repurchased quite a lot of them. Now with 4K TVs, FHD BD does not look great, and I'd be looking at repurchasing them again in UHD. But in 5 years from now we're going to have 8K that makes 4K look ugly. Already my huge Bluray collection is looking obsolete. I'm just going to stop buying films on disc and stick to streaming.

      As someone with 600+ blurays, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm at my quadruple dip with Game of Thrones; DVD, bluray, steelbook, 4K.

      • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 21:55

        I forgot to mention I have repurchased some BDs in 3D BD. Now they don't even make TVs and players that can play them in 3D anymore. Those will become unuseable when either my PS3 or my 32" bedroom 3DTV dies. Yet they still release 3D BDs.

      I think theres enough bitrate in bluray to be relevant a little longer. I imagine streaming 4k content wouldn't quite have the bitrate of their physical counterparts. I also have a large bluray collection. I'm not gunna replace with 4k. I'll purchase 4k from here on however.

        Yeah Bluray upscales on a good 4K TV very nicely.

      • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 21:58

        It will look better on UHD BD than streaming at 4K, but one day you'll want to buy a the 8K BD and not want to watch your 4K BDs anymore, when they are considered no longer the nicest you can have. I will at least not have spent any money on 4K BD.

        My collection on the shelf is just going to look weird and I'm OCD about that stuff. You have BDs in blue cases, then BDs in clear cases (3D), then BDs in black cases (UHD) and soon some other colour for 8K. Plus some DVDs I still have.

        • OpayuOnam on 17/07/2018 - 23:05

          All my 3D Blu-rays are blue case… Am i missing something?

        • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:17

          @OpayuOnam: I think some 3D Blu Ray cases are clear blue while normal Blu Rays are solid blue.

        • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 23:24

          @OpayuOnam: Weird.

          All of my 3D Blurays are in a clear case (like a PS3 game case).

          I bought them all from Amazon US though.

          @fowlli14: i would've preferred that actually, because one of my current annoyances is I cannot easily tell my 3D and normal Blu-rays apart specially from side (same colour box)

        • FXD on 18/07/2018 - 21:37

          You won't be able to buy a movie shot in 4k in 8k in the future. The highest quality current movies will exist in is 4k.

    • FXD on 18/07/2018 - 21:31

      I think it's going to be a long time before anyone creates content (specifically TV shows and movies) in 8k. They're barely devoting the processing power to rendering CGI in 4k, so forget about 8k movies. Check out realorfake4k.com to see how many current movies are still made with a 2k digital intermediate. Also, if the movies of today are at the bleeding edge and recorded and processed in digital 4k, even when 8k becomes norm the only version of that movie will exist in 4k, so it won't be superceded.

  • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 21:49

    I used to think like you but I gave in and have purchased around 40 4k UHD discs now. I do regret a few previous DVD and Blu Ray purchases but was never too invested in those formats like you guys were.
    My main reason for giving in is my concern that 4K UHD Blu Ray discs will be the final physical disc media. I do think that streaming will fully take over the industry (it has already started).
    I know with the NBN at my place, I can stream 4K content easily but I have always preferred physical over digital.

    • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 22:01

      So you're not going to watch in 8K when it is available digital only?

      Think about it. If 4K BD is the last disc format before discs go the way of the dodo, wouldn't they simply stop making 4K BDs when 8K becomes the new standard? If they're going to continue making 4K discs when 8K TVs are standard, then why wouldn't they also make 8K discs? It wouldn't cost much extra, and they could sell them at a premium.

      • mctubster on 17/07/2018 - 22:50
        +6

        There is no source material (ie major movies) at 8K that I am aware of being created even today, not to mention the size of the set and viewing distance required to make 8K noticeable to the human eye.

        Even CGI today is not done at 4K as it is generally too intensive. Most CGI being produced today is 1080 or 2K max.

        HDR and 10bit colour space are the big difference. It just happens that they come wrapped up in 4K BD

        A 4K stream from Netflix is inferior to even a 1080p BD, simply because of pre-compression filtering and high compression rate to get a 4k stream at < 10Mb/s. The only win from Netflix is HDR / 10 bit support at lower resolutions.

        Ultimately the convenience of online streaming will win out over quality - for most people it is good enough.

        Cheers

        • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 23:09

          That is true, but like 4K TVs today, some day 8K TVs will be so cheap that it won't matter.

          The argument still exists today that 4K TVs are overkill depending on your TV size and viewing distance. But the alternative is to buy a 1080p TV, and right now your options are small, and they are not much cheaper than 4K, so there's no point.

          So when 8K is not noticeable from where you sit, you're still not going to go and buy a 4K TV, because what's left that you can buy is going to be relegated to some corner of the store and made by el cheapo brands like Soniq and Changhong.

        • FabMan on 18/07/2018 - 07:41

          @lostn: Converting film to 4K creates a lot of noise that has to be filtered out/filled in, going to 8K is worse still, and since no-one is filming 8K digitally I'm not sure what 8K content people will be watching on 8K TVs. It probably won't be much made pre-2020 as the first 8K movie was Guardians of the Galaxy 2, meaning that 4K Blu-Rays with HDR content should be relevant longer than DVDs and 1080p Blu-Rays.

          If they release 8K Blu-Rays with old content on it would be just upscaled, and that could be done automatically by 8K setups with 4K content.

          Something to note is that 1080p Blu-Ray isn't full 1920x1080 in both luminance and colour. Ehile it is 1920x1080 in luminance, it is only 960x540 in colour pixels, because at release of 1080p Blu-Rays hardware wasn't powerful enough to decode all that information. So 1080p content was never full 1080p, it was 75% 1080p, well regarding visuals anyway.

          However 4K is true 4K image quality, so you get 3840 × 2160 for both luminance and colour, along with HDR making 4K colours seem that much better than 1080p content. So 4K is 4x sharper in luminance than Full HD but it has 16x the colour pixels. The jump to 8K would be 4x in pixels, so the jump won't be as impressive, that is along with no movies being filmed in 8K and film transfer to digital has a lot of noise at above 4K.

          To add to this more so:
          When they scanned Lawrence of Arabia to 8K, they could see cracks in the film itself, so they had to erase and fill in those cracks with artificially generated content. So while in 10 years 8K maybe promoted as the serious option to watch old films converted you should know that there is a lot of fill ins artificially generated. Maybe newer 70mm movies transferred would fare better, such as Dunkirk or Hateful Eight.

        • FXD on 18/07/2018 - 21:53

          @FabMan: Also the digital intermediate for Guardians 2 is only 2k!

      • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:10

        I am sure I will be watching 8K streams but I have personally always enjoyed getting a disc-based movie/video game over digital. I think we are quite a few years off 8K becoming standard and I think that we will either be fully digital by then or very close. To an extent, I would like to be proven wrong but we will have to wait and see.

        • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 23:15

          You think we are a few years off from 8K, but it didn't take long before we went from FHD to 4K. That time will pass quicker than you think.

          Actually it didn't take that long to go from DVD to BD. DVD became standard in the early 2000s, and BD released 2005 or 2006.

          Things move fast in the TV world. Manufacturers need reasons to get you to buy a new TV when you're happy with your existing one. That's how we got 3D TVs, curved TVs, now 4K, and for some people, OLED panels.

    • krazek on 17/07/2018 - 22:09

      Only that 4k UHD Bluray >>> 4k Netflix stream in terms of quality. Head over to whirlpool forums and claim they are the same, you will get your head bitten off by the videophiles there…

      • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:05

        4K UHD Blu Ray is better looking than a 4K Netflix stream but I think it is fairly marginal. I do enjoy reading the whirlpool forums. A lot of guys there are quite knowledgeable.

      • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 23:06

        I know the disc version will look better. I don't think it will look better enough to justify what they charge for a disc. And when a better disc version comes out, you still feel like an idiot for buying the no longer cutting edge disc, and be tempted to rebuy it. When you watch it again on your 4K BD, you'll be wondering how much better it would look if you had 8K.

        • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:13

          I suppose we could say that when eventually 16K is out or something ridiculous like that. I suppose I am naive in thinking that it will stop with 4k UHD discs.

          @fowlli14: I thought it would stop with 1080p BDs. They were mind blowingly sharp at the time they released. Years into the future, they'd be at worst 'good enough'. My addiction to HD is how I built up a library of more than 500 BD titles. Now 1080p looks very pedestrian, and I look dumb. If you walk into a HN and look at their 1080p demo videos, you will wonder how you ever thought a TV at this resolution looked good. You were once blown away by how gorgeous a 65" 1080p TV looked playing their demo footage. But now the screen dooring effect up close is very noticeable and you don't know how you didn't notice this 10 years ago.

          The PS3 was my gateway to this addiction. It was a cheap BD player that also played games. Had I never owned one, I would not have bought any movies. Sony got me good.

      • OpayuOnam on 17/07/2018 - 23:09

        I'd argue that 1080p Bluray is better than 4k Netflix.

        • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:11

          That might be pushing it but I do think some 1080P Blu rays look amazing.

        • lostn on 17/07/2018 - 23:12

          I wouldn't. It may have higher bitrate, but you'll notice those bigger pixels if you're watching from up close like I do.

        • fowlli14 on 17/07/2018 - 23:14

          @lostn: If you do not mind me asking, what is your setup?

          @fowlli14: 27" 4K desktop monitor viewed from typical desktop viewing distances. I am not watching 1080p on that.

          I also have a 75" 4K TV in the living room, but the viewing distance is 6m and I really can't tell FHD from UHD from that distance. I don't use that TV for watching films.

          The desktop monitor shows much more sharpness and detail than watching a big TV from a distance.

          @OpayuOnam: I don't doubt it. But this will get better with time. Netflix won't be the only provider. Internet will get better, and bandwidth for Netflix will get cheaper, and they'll be able to push higher bitrate streams.

        • OpayuOnam on 17/07/2018 - 23:29
          +1

          @lostn: that is a sure thing… But for the time being that not 100% the case.
          I'd have to agree with the comment above that the convenience of online services can overrule quality for movies that are not super important visually, like flicks and comedies etc…
          But if you get a chance try watching planet earth II on UHD Blu-ray and compare against Netflix and the difference is quite obvious in certain scenes (I'm aware this doesn't support my 1080p Bluray better than 4k Netflix)

        • fowlli14 on 18/07/2018 - 00:00

          @lostn: When I eventually build my own PC, I will be looking at about a 30" inch screen. Have you got a decent sound system attached to your desktop?

        • mctubster on 18/07/2018 - 12:00

          @lostn: It would be really interesting to do some screen grabs from 4K Netflix vs 1080P BD with a decent upscaler.

          Based on the bandwidth limit that Netflix apply to 4K content I really wonder if the effective resolution is lower than 1080P high bitrate BD.

          Agree that the colour space bandwidth for 1080P BD is restricted. Having said that I have Muse in Rome (filmed 4K) but only released 1080 BD and wow it pops like crazy on a 4K OLED. Stunning.

          I bought the Nolan 4K box set on Prime day, will def have a look at Dunkirk Netflix 4K vs UHD BD and see if I can work out a way to get screen grabs.

    • FabMan on 18/07/2018 - 08:51

      I personally don't think 16:9, 55" to 75" 8K TVs would be that popular, as in, yes they would probably sell, but people won't go dump their working 4K TVs for them.

      I could get excited at the idea of an ultrawide TV for a 'true' (fake true) cinematic experience with 8K content. Old movies could be re-released in the 'cinematic' wide format, 8K image quality with HDR…

      • fowlli14 on 18/07/2018 - 12:26

        I have been reading that you will need 70"/75" or larger sized TVS and be sitting quite close to even see 8K. I don't even know any current content that is mastered at 8K.

        • FabMan on 18/07/2018 - 20:25

          Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was the first movie filmed digitally in 8K. So I imagine we'll see more in the future.
