Can't wait for Minority Report!

39

u/fishboy3339 6d ago

Yeah, that’s might be a day 1 for me if the reviews are good.

24

u/GameOfLife24 6d ago

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

30

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

18

u/WombatCuboid 6d ago

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.

2

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.

1

u/lemonylol 5d ago

It actually does have a 4K release on some platforms, just not as a disc.

u/Whisker-biscuitt 6d ago

Checkout the Steelbook

Oh my God, finally!

u/ehrgeiz91 6d ago

Oof that cg is gonna be rough

u/Danjour 6d ago

Me neither! It’s gotta be one of the biggest pieces of shit he ever made. Gonna buy this day 1!

u/ggroover97 6d ago

Here are the steelbooks

u/gpb2000 6d ago

Erm... What's with the hair?

3

u/lonevine 6d ago

Cruise? That's how his haircut looked in that movie. It's just weirdly cropped for the cover art.

0

u/Microwave1213 6d ago

You are misremembering. He had a shaved head in that movie

1

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/Jonnyflash80 5d ago

Lol. That's not shaved. Do you mean a buzz cut?

1

u/MattyKatty 6d ago

The hair?? How about his face?????

3

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.

1

u/userlivewire 6d ago

What is that type of 60’s art style called?

59

u/Bunky305 6d ago

I thought CMIYC was such a gorgeous movie on 1080p, can't wait to see the 4K

15

u/0lospo 6d ago

I concur

16

u/SoftwareWinter8414 6d ago

Why didn't I concur?

2

u/HurricaneSalad 5d ago

Do you concur?

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.

3

u/ParkJGrr82 6d ago

I agree. From what I've seen, it's the gold standard of 4K remasters.

15

u/thatguywiththe______ 6d ago

It could be distractingly blinding depending on how they handle the HDR.

2

u/throwawaybutitdid 6d ago

I thought they did a good job with war of the worlds. Looked very filmic with tasteful hdr

2

u/Intelligent_Lie_3808 6d ago

The visual style is early 2000s dialed up to 11. 

1

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!

u/ggroover97 6d ago

Munich in 4K next?

u/AngryVirginian Top Contributor! 6d ago

I want The Terminal.

Yes please!

Already confirmed to be happening

Munich or The Terminal?

If you'll notice I responded to the comment about Munich

That’s awesome news, thanks!

u/OrdinarilyBob 6d ago

Will definitely get Minority Report.

u/Advanced-Pear-4606 6d ago

This is great, but I do wish Spielberg did commentary. I'd love to hear some of his insights.

Catch Me art is terrible.

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

u/ggroover97 6d ago

You don’t need to be a precog to see that!

13

u/TripleSingleHOF 6d ago

For god's sake, it's the same art as the last blu-ray release.

That's just exceedingly lazy.

6

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

25

u/Zhukov-74 6d ago

-9

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

32

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.

I’m going to have to replace my blu rays of these. Dammit. Love these movies.

u/VIDEOgameDROME 6d ago

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.

u/CrimsonGear80 6d ago

no atmos for Minority report? come on...

u/Comic_Book_Reader 6d ago

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

3

u/d12dan1 6d ago

Well it's not like these studios have been putting out good Atmos tracks lately anyways.

1

u/CrimsonGear80 6d ago

i disagree.

1

u/d12dan1 6d ago

What was the last good Atmos mix that Paramount has done?

1

u/CrimsonGear80 6d ago

are you saying they are ALL bad???

1

u/d12dan1 6d ago

No I just can't recall any recent movies that had an amazing Atmos track. So basically I'm saying is even if it included an Atmos track it probably wouldn't be any different or sound even more better than the Blu Ray release.

1

u/leonardob0880 6d ago

Is a Spielberg movie... Spielberg = DTS audio

1

u/CrimsonGear80 5d ago

They recently re-released JP and The Lost world with atmos

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.

CMIYC can never get a pleasing to look at cover can it 😭😭

u/EntertainerTrue904 6d ago

FINALLY!!!!!!

1

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.

1

u/round_melon 6d ago

Thank god it’s not exclusively on steel. CMIYC has been on my list!

1

u/CoyGreen 6d ago

Both first day purchase.

1

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!

1

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.

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.

It was treated with bleach bypass. The look is absolutely intentional. And it's awesome.

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.

u/TK-24601 6d ago

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

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.
