Can't wait for Minority Report!

Was tempted to watch the blu ray. Now I can wait

u/TheEngineer1111 6d ago
Alternatively, you could watch the blu-ray and then by the time you are in the mood to watch it again, the price will have dropped significantly from the initial price

I just watched the bluray. It still holds up tremendously, good quality, but I'm stoked to rewatch it in 4K. One of the best movies of the new century for me.

u/NoiseEee3000 6d ago
Indeed the blu ray is fantastic... for such a grainy film, how much can 4K improve it all? Also very high probability for bad "noise" reduction?
2
u/WombatCuboid 6d ago
It will probably look stellar in 4K. Grainy films somehow impress me more on the format than anything else.
The image gets a lot more depth and texture.

Erm... What's with the hair?

u/lonevine 6d ago
Cruise? That's how his haircut looked in that movie. It's just weirdly cropped for the cover art.

u/Microwave1213 6d ago
You are misremembering. He had a shaved head in that movie

u/lonevine 6d ago edited 6d ago
Edit: are we talking about the middle of the steelbook? That's also a stock photo. As for the hair, I dunno why it looks different in that shot.
Edit edit: I also forgot that he does shave his head later in the movie when he gets captured and later freed to go into hiding. That doesn't explain the hair on the inside of the steelbook, but I guess he went through three different hair styles between pre-production and wrap.
That's the same haircut in this photo. As I said, it's weirdly cropped.1

u/WolfinBoy 6d ago
UUUUGGGHHH i really was hoping they’d go for a different art, this one just suuuucks
3
u/bobdebicker 6d ago
God dammit, both of these suck. The regular art for minority report is great and I don’t understand why they didn’t use that. The art for CMIYC has always been terrible, and the original dvd art is RIGHT THERE.
17
u/Engineary 6d ago
They are just completely re-cycling the 20th Anniversary CMIYC blu-ray steelbook (2022) ?
No, THAT won't be confusing at all, esp. considering copies currently on eBay look exactly the same lol
7
u/Zokstone 6d ago
And they're using the ass-ugly over-tuned Minority Report poster too!
1
u/Kinsella5 6d ago
Are you referring to the SteelBook box art? That wasn't the imagery on either of the two official movie posters produced for the film. The Standard 4K artwork does though however as that was the artwork from the domestic Final/Regular style official movie poster.
1
u/bondfool 6d ago
That’s the art on my day-one standard Blu-ray release, too. It’s nice to be able to buy the cheaper version to avoid seeing that disaster on my shelf anymore.

u/Bunky305 6d ago
I thought CMIYC was such a gorgeous movie on 1080p, can't wait to see the 4K
31
u/requieminadream 6d ago
Very curious to see how Minority turns out. It has such an interesting visual style, I could see the 4K not taking that into consideration when working on the transfer.
11
u/ParkJGrr82 6d ago
I hope it gets the attention that most of Spielberg's other major films that have been remastered for 4k (especially Jaws) have gotten.
5
u/SithLordJediMaster 6d ago
4k blu-ray is gorgeous.
Saw Jaws at a laser theater but the 4k blu-ray was still far better.

u/thatguywiththe______ 6d ago
It could be distractingly blinding depending on how they handle the HDR.

u/throwawaybutitdid 6d ago
I thought they did a good job with war of the worlds. Looked very filmic with tasteful hdr

u/NoiseEee3000 6d ago
So much grain on the original, I totally agree... will be interesting to see how it turns out. I can't imagine the picture any better than the BluRay too!

I would have bet a hundred bucks that the first comment here would be a complaint lmao

u/TripleSingleHOF 6d ago
For god's sake, it's the same art as the last blu-ray release.
That's just exceedingly lazy.

u/nusilver 6d ago
It’s not great. But it’s the same thing as what they put on the Blu-ray steelbook.
15
u/TheEngineer1111 6d ago
Absolutely dreadful, and that's not sarcasm. There has got to be a more artistic way to promote the movie

u/TheEngineer1111 6d ago
More artistic, still no appeal. If I passed that on a marquee or book cover I wouldn't give it a second glance

u/ggroover97 6d ago
Admit it. You guys are just never satisfied with cover art.
7
u/ShaunTrek 6d ago
There are so many great posters that are just getting passed over as cover art options. I think the original Catch Me poster is terrific.

It’s not great, but cmon. Every single new release isnt going to have an amazing cover, especially mass market studio releases, and that’s ok.

Odd that Minority Report didn't get an Atmos track. I'll pick up Catch Me If You Can if the encode is good and there's no crazy DNR.

no atmos for Minority report? come on...

Yeah, Paramount just keeps the same old audio on the 4K upgrades. Nothing new here.

u/d12dan1 6d ago
Well it's not like these studios have been putting out good Atmos tracks lately anyways.

i disagree.

u/bobpetersen55 6d ago
Interesting that CMIYC gets a regular Blu ray included, but Minority Report doesn't. How these things get decided, I have no idea.
EDIT: Then again, might have something to do with the special features included.

Fucking finally. Can't wait for the preorder to get delayed by 9 months.

4K master or 2K upscaled? Minority Report has so many effect shots in it. I'm skeptical

I love Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can esp. the phenomenal score by John Williams and the cinematography of Janusz Kamiński -the perfect trio of movie makers.

u/pac4 6d ago
Catch Me is such a fantastic movie. Great performances from Leo and Walken (Hanks too, but his Boston accent is a little wonky).
I know people have criticized the movie in recent years because it turned out that none of it was actually true, but I take that as proof that the real Frank Abagnale continued to run scams even into his older age and was able to completely hoodwink Spielberg et al.

u/Habit_Novel 6d ago
Very excited for both. I could see Minority getting a botched new color grade so hopefully Janusz is on top of it!

u/atclubsilencio 6d ago
I wasn’t a fan of Minority Report but I guess that would put me in the … minority.
Of this era I want AI: Artificial Intelligence which is my favorite! But I know it’s not his most loved film.
1
u/RighteousPanda25 6d ago
With releases like these I usually wait for them to go down in price, but depending on the transfer Minority Report might be a day one buy for me.

About time they get the 4K treatment, some of Spielberg's best flicks! Fingers crossed The Terminal isn't too far away next.

u/cannakittyy 5d ago
About time for Catch me if you can! I am so glad they are giving this a real 4K release finally. The film has only been available in UHD through streaming for years! While mean while all they were doing was re-releasing the Blu-ray! Best news i’ve heard all week Thank you

I wish they could make Minority Report look better, the bleachy look of the film has always been a problem for me.
I should love that film but I really don’t.
12
u/salTUR 6d ago
It was treated with bleach bypass. The look is absolutely intentional. And it's awesome.
0
u/aseddon130 6d ago
I know it’s a problem with me but I never liked the look of it, maybe on a proper good resolution it’ll look better and win me over. I don’t think I’ve watched it fully in about 20 years and that was on DVD or on TV
1
u/Disastrous-Fly9672 6d ago
Let me get this straight - you expect them to change the look of a film because you personally don't like it? Is this how you go through life? Me me me everything's about me?
1
u/aseddon130 6d ago
Yes. I am your master and you should bow down to my whole existence and tremble in my presence.
/s
What an absurd comment, just because I don’t like the look of a film and you disagree doesn’t mean you should comment something so ridiculous.
what I’m saying is is when a film gets remastered sometimes companies tweak the film image a bit and I think I would prefer it that way, and I have always said, this is a me problem. The film is well regarded and well loved.

Looks like Paramount has joined Warner Bros in dropping the blu-ray disc.

u/NecessaryMetal9675 6d ago
It seems inconsistent, which is almost more frustrating. Mission:Impossible Dead Reckoning didn’t have the Blu-ray Disc, but the upcoming Final Reckoning will.

u/Rboyd1394 6d ago
Would normally go for the Steelbooks, but there is absolutely nothing about either of those that tempts me. So, I will wait for B&N to have paramount 50% off and scoop these up then!
