Anyone seen Blade Runner 2049 in UHD?

I'm hoping to see it in 31 years time.

Imagine what the disc looks like...

I haven’t watched my UHD version yet - I might have to do both BR films this weekend in UHD

Nice one David.

To spend my days watching loads of movies but alas I have to work

Im lucky to watch one movie every 3 weeks and have blade Runner on my list of movies I want to watch.

I've got the BD on top of my player right now, but like Andrewjvt I just haven't had time to watch it, my cousin rated it very highly which is always a good recommendationn to me.

Might be quite some time before I ever see it in 4k though *sad*

I must admit I am sticking the TV HDR mode in vivid to get the most from it.

 

[davidf]

I’d avoid vivid, unless you’ve gone through the settings to calm it down - wholly unnatural to me, and way too ‘in your face’.

Yep, I am going back to Hdr bright and Standard for normal tv. Cheers.

Yes, the picture is sensational and the sound is pretty darn awesome too.

One of my favourite discs.

My suggetion is that when you do watch it, make sure you don't have any interuptions. This film is so immersive, you'll want total silence so you can really appreciate how good the soundscape is

You've raised a good point there Sliced Bread, I've found that when I have watched any films recently I've been grabbing my tablet to look up an actor I've noticed in the film, or where it's been filmed or something else about the film. This generally led to me looking up other things and consequently not paying sufficient attention to the film, so from now on I'm putting the tablet in another room so I can concentrate, sounds like I'm going to need to with Blade Runner 2049 *good*

Guilty! Always looking stuff up, from actors to locations, plus other stuff. Quite often I’ll miss complete scenes without even realising it. Although these are films I’ve seen before, rather than watching something for the first time.

241 films logged this year so far.

Anyone on here got Rakuten TV? You can watch and sign up for free and watch trailers in UHD and HDR for free! Pretty amazing I am lovin it. Only just joined too. They have a big selection too.

That's a lot of films *shok*

I bet I've only just got into double figures.

I did find one interesting (?) snippet of information watching Ghostbusters a few weeks ago: the receptionist at Ghostbusters (Annie Potts) now plays MeeMaw in Young Sheldon, her thick Noo Yoik accent had me thrown for a while.

Sorry gel, I'm veering wayyyy off topic, I'll shut up now, except to say I've never tried Rakuten TV, might be worth a try though *good*

You'll love Google Play movies. Whichever actor is on the screen, shows up on your phone and you can check details about the actor straightaway.

The more I read about things like this, the more I'm convinced the human race will end up like they were depicted in Wall.E

I'm assuming you've watched parts of Google I/O conference which gives a glimpse of what is to come!

That's how I used to watch movies but now have an 8 month little monster to compete with.
We have to pause every 20 minutes or so make sure he's ok etc or he's crying from his top teeth drilling through.
Hopefully I'll be able to watch a full movie once every few weeks in a few years haha

I haven’t no. If you mentioned that, you know I’m right then!

Oh I hear you bud. I have an 8 & 2 year old. Don’t worry he’ll sleep through before long and you’ll start to get your evenings back

I'm waiting for the price to drop, as twenty five quid is too steep for a not very good film. Not gonna buy it just coz it looks good...

You know when you wish a sequel could be made that is worthy of being called a sequel to a classic movie? This is one of the finest examples you’ll come across. Not without its faults, but of the BR fans I know, none have thought it as anything but excellent.

Well worth £25 - particularly when people seem to be buying a fair amount of rubbish just because it’s 4K (maybe not even that!)
