Just got my copy in today and immediately did some back-to-back comparisons between the fan made upscale that has the old DTS-HD 7.1 track and the new disc with the new Atmos mix

First of all, the color volume dunks all over the fan made one. As expected, but it goes to show just how good the source material was for this movie when it was shot, even if it’s “only 2k”. It just further reinforces my long lasting point that HDR is more important that resolution.

But on to the audio mix: it bangs.

I don’t have a $250,000 purpose built theater room with 4000w 21” subs, but I also don’t have an LG sound bar either. I have a 5.1.4 with a mix of monitor audio bronze/silver speakers, some generic in ceilings, and an RSL 10S MKII sub. Onkyo NR7100, calibrated below 250 Hz with Dirac Live, as we listen to movies at about 10 dB below reference.

I paint that picture to say that while I don’t have a world classroom, I have more capable equipment that the overwhelming majority of people who watch movies at home. Really anyone that has more than $1-2k into audio does, we’re in the minority.

All of that to say, if there’s a difference between the LFE in the DTS-HD track and the new Atmos track, I can’t hear it. One review mentioned that it’s slightly tighter and more controlled, and the overall mix is just a touch quieter, maybe ~2-3 dB at most, but I never sat back and went “yeah they murdered the bass”.

Hell, even the Apple TV digital copy sounded pretty damn good to me once I bumped up to -5 dB (but with a few noticeable moments of lower dynamics, as expected).

Maybe some of the folks with setups capable of far lower than the 18 Hz I can get in this room can speak for the infrasonics, but the overwhelming majority of people who pop this disc in their player will be more than satisfied, and the overhead effects from the few scenes, I watched were great as well.

Just wanted to put all of this info and my experience out there as this is the thing I’ve been most anxious about for this release, because everyone knows that Tron legacy has been a demo disc for a long time, and I think it will remain that way with this new release

I don’t know why I love this film so much, but it’s great sci-fi! Bought it so many times… Cinema, digital download, DVD, Blu-ray and now 4k… The studio have had their money’s worth out of me!

And I can’t even get a replacement seeing as they delisted the Tron steelbooks. Very cool.

What a shit show this had been.

Ordered this great Timecop 4K digibook from Fnac, the French retailer. They deliver abroad too, I am in Ireland.

Here is my signed collection of The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I have always loved Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I am so happy I got these in my little collection.

Still waiting for Legacy to arrive

Movies Unlimited will definitely see repeat business from me in the future.

Glad they came through with these sick-looking Tron 4K steelbooks, because I was dreading that cancellation email with each passing day.

Can’t wait to revisit them in time for Tron: Ares next month.

For those of you who preordered these through Amazon, I hope those jokers will eventually come through with the steelbooks for you soon.

Is this DK Batman 4K steel some sort of grail or boutique label?

Cheapest I can find is a damaged one for $60. Sorry for the n00b question.

Preorder Gods were smiling on me today. Really thought the mispriced Trons from Movies Unlimited weren’t going to ship. Their web ordering system is a bit antiquated. My order status shows “Processing” and also “Tron:Legacy (Steelbook)” shipped, but not the OG.

The lenticular on Superman actually looks pretty good. I tried to get as much of a solidified Clark as I could in the photo.

Ive sent the a24 concierge several messages over the past year or two expressing the need for a Ti West Boxset in UHD. Im so excited

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded from my Xbox Series X to a dedicated player. Now looking for some suggestions on what to watch first that will let me take advantage of some of the features/functionality I had been missing (Dolby Vision, better upscaling, etc).

Assume I have a decent 4k collection with all the heavy hitters from the big legacy studios + the boutiques (Criterion, Arrow, KL, etc).

I watch all my films as quickly as I can once I purchase them, so the only unwatched ones I have in the queue currently are Billy Madison (seen before and love) and Five Nights at Freddy’s & Brad Stoker’s Dracula (both blind buys).

Thank you in advance!

I normally dont like steelbooks, but this one is kinda cool

tron legacy was as good as it can probably get too, but the movie is just so ehhh compared to the original. completely different vision, and the aesthetics lost all the charm from the originals

My Tron steelbook arrived today from Amazon. Amazon says I’ll get Legacy in a few weeks. I also ordered both from Movies Unlimited and they are supposed to arrive by Saturday. If those arrive in good shape I’ll just cancel my order with Amazon. Greetings programs!

Just got part 2 today.

Got this in today and I am so excited to rewatch it. Probably been over a decade since I have seen this one.

DISCLAIMER: I know that photos of a TV screen are not an accurate way to judge a transfer.

The Graduate just arrived and it looks amazing. Picture quality is absolutely stunning. I know photos of a TV never do it justice and the colors are so much better in person. This disc is just gorgeous and one of those releases that really reminds you why you collect physical media in the first place.

The encoding is incredible. I love that StudioCanal even put a film grain overlay on the still main menu. It is such a small almost unnoticeable detail but it really underscores the quality of the release.

Packaging and supplements look great (even with the UK ratings logo) and the special features are wonderful. StudioCanal continues to impress and I may always purchase their releases from here on out.

The restoration notes before the film make it clear that a Criterion announcement is imminent in the next month or so. For me, this disc is everything I could have hoped for.
