Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies and Titanic finally get digital and 4K Blu-Ray release dates

Late to the party here but I hope the 4K version of Aliens is better than whatever is on Disney+ at the moment. The Disney version is super bright and completely lacking atmosphere. The set looks like something out of a soap opera

Jim prefers the term ‘AI enhanced’ thank you very much..

Oh bums

Oh wow, will definitely be looking at Aliens, an all time favourite of mine.

Seeing it at the Royal Albert Hall with live orchestra was an amazing experience.

4k UHD Blu-ray are region free.

Any accompanying standard Blu-ray could potentially still be region locked.

There are some 4k disks that a region locked(very small number) but region lock isn't part of the UHD Disk spec.

Plus the images of the cover art on the big retailer I ordered it from show Region ABC compatibility, so if it is region locked I'll be pretty miffed. I know, I know.... images are for illustration purposes only. But fingers crossed.

But now the store page has changed to:
Temporarily out of stock.
We are working hard to be back in stock as soon as possible.

Old man yells at cloud.

The new release is a collector’s edition. It has both versions of the film with both having the 4k treatment.

Both Aliens and The Abyss should be in stock at a cool place on the 29th of April. I think if both are ordered at the same time they will likely be shipped together from Scandinavia.

Found this thread interesting on the recent Cameron 4k releases. Reads like it's almost worth sticking with the blurays and using a good bluray player to upscale instead.

Yep not touching these - have them cheap from US iTunes in 4k instead - not paying (or supporting) full price given how these were made.

Thats absolutely shocking if proven to be true (someone else should be able to confirm this), just the SDR to HDR flat conversion is enough to completely sink darker films like Aliens/Abyss, I can't believe Cameron would have signed off on such a pee-poor job!

 

[VincentHanna]

That doesn't surprise me as the Teminator 2 4K's Blu-ray HDR was almost non-existant, and had that horrible colour grading that made pink lasers blue, faces yellow, background shots green etc

 

[Bigpig]

They supposedly use the 3D Blu-ray transfer for the 4k disk. Hence the poor disk.

 

[VincentHanna]

Yeah but Cameron signed if off at the end of the day.

Looking at that they should have called the format BLUE-ray.

These look awful.
