John Wick 2 UHD - Must Buy if you havent already

[ellisdj]

I bought the John Wick UHD Box Set on UHD even though I already owned John Wick on Blu Ray. - just gone down to £39.99 I paid £45

John Wick is better on UHD but not a marvel.

John Wick 2 on the other hand even though only a 2K DI is a visual and sonic marvel - they have used some very clever cinematography and a Great Sound Track

Its a Must Buy - come the end I wanted to watch it over again which says a lot, I was missing the feeling I had when I watched it.

I will be watching it again asap

Just looked on AVF and it was £20 with a 10 per cent discount! Don't know if I will get a copy now, it's saying 3 days and some haven't got the Bourne 4k set for £25 yet. I will have to wait and see. Do you know on AVF where the 4K Blu-ray price thread is? Not the one on the bargain thread, some other one? Cheers.

Just saw this:

Looks a bit scary though, do you know if it's any good?

I've got this on 1080p BD and it's a visual marvel, and a good film too!

Just watching John Wick on Amazon Prime - it's really good.

 

[Blacksabbath25]

I liked both 1&2 of john wick films I couldn't believe how much action there was in the second film

 

[Deleted member 2457]

It's been dispatched - hurray! *biggrin*

Watched all of one last night - pretty good.

 

[newlash09]

the background score was awesome. Can't wait for the part 2 now

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I got it yesterday and watched 2 in uhd and didn't like the picture. It was too dark for me and not in a good way, I preferred the Amazon Prime of John Wick 1 in HD - I thought that was awesome. Perhaps my future lies with Amazon Prime and not buying discs anymore. I seem to be disapointed with the vast majority of uhd discs!

have you got your TV calibrated probably ? As I noticed my self with a lot of films that felt like they were to much in the dark in a lot of scenes on blu-rays and 4k until I brought my self a calibration cd and that changed things a bit and you can always up the settings a bit to your liking .

Gel I said to you ages ago your tv looked like it was crushing black detail. That was 2 oleds ago I think.
The panny would have displayed the film perfectly. It is a bit dark in places and grainy actually on a second watch but its still very clever in its use of light and the cinematography and settings etc.
The latest oppo firmware update has made my strip metadata picture darker so I have needed to adjust the slider for luminance but I have noticed its improved the overall contrast of the non hdr image

 

[ellisdj]

You might need to adjust the brightness setting to fix this or is there any adjustment in the oppo 203 under the hdr option??

I just got it on bright isf day mode and dark isf mode at night time. Are calibration CDs easy to use? How much do they cost? Cheers.

I accidentally updated my Oppo by wireless firmware update and now it seems to be behaving weird. I can't get the soundtrack up on the amp. Any ideas?

I got it on bright at the moment on HDR options with the TV, I will look at the Oppo settings too.

Its supposed to just auto sync with the display as far as I am aware.
Really your running the pinnacle of current tv tech is should be epic for every disc with the exception of resolution some discs being 2k DI so not as crisp as the 4KDI movies.

After you updated did you factory reset the player?

Cheers Ellis! Just trying John Wick on HDR Standard not bright and it's looking better. I will try John Wick 2 after this one. Sorted my amp problem it needed to be on Standard mode.

John Wick 2 is looking good now too. I had my settings in bright mode and they needed to be in Standard. Bright mode was a cross between dark and bright and it wasn't here or there in the end.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

One problem with HDR Standard though you can't really tell the difference between HD and HDR Standard in a dark movie - they look almost identical. I think I might as well just going to stick to HD movies now.
