It looks good but is only upscaled 4K. You should check reviews on Blu-ray.com. I recommend Godzilla vs Kong if you want good picture quality.

It's easily one of the best looking and sounding 4k uhd films I've seen so far! Obviously depending on what you're veiwing a movie on makes a difference.

It’s a Hisense U7H 55” if that makes any difference. I had a Sony one that I bought like 5 years ago but it shat the bed a while ago so I never got around to a lot of 4k movies on it

I'm sure it'll look good on your TV.

Some older movies that have really impressed me qualitywise recently are The War of the Worlds (1953), Batman (1989) and Superman 2. It looks much better than the first movie.

I received this:
I have heard people saying that they used too much DNR but I still had to get it. These are some of my favorite cartoons.

Anyone know the release for Mario? Amazon has it December 31st - assume a placeholder?

Picked up Predator on 4k. Looks and sounds great. It's an all time favorite that I've probably seen 50 times and Ive never seen it look better. Slowly replacing all of my favorite films with 4k versions if they're available. Aliens is the big hold out that I can think of right now. Fight club is another. Come on fox!

So how is the video quality? Is it indeed as bad as they said?I received this:
I have heard people saying that they used too much DNR but I still had to get it. These are some of my favorite cartoons.
Hope they don't DNR the hell out of it. Blu ray already looks really good, and it's not exactly high detail animation, not sure if worth it.Looks like Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is coming to 4K Blu-Ray:

The steelbooks have been sold out for a while, idk if they’re making more. But if they released the steelbook versions the discs are ready to go, so I’m guessing the standard release is imminent. Probably Tuesday?

My UB820 is extremely silent, definitely more quiet than my Series X.

Generally don’t notice with my stand alone player either but usually have the sub woofer and surround sound on when watching a film.

Depending on how silent your surroundings are and how much contend with relative silence you watch it will be a noticeable emitter of sound. The disc is physically spinning. Some even have fans wich are quite audible.
For really silent operation imo you need modding / soundproofing.

Having used both my PS5 and standalone players (Sony UBPX700 and one previous cheaper LG unit that I can't remember the model # for), the standalone players are quieter.
I think it's more that the PS5 is quite loud for whatever reason, rather than the standalone players being particularly quiet.

Retailer took preorders, and sent out copies, even though Universal has yet to (officially) announce the film will receive a home video release.

It looks better than I expected. It does have film grain. I haven't compared it to the dvd.

Princess Bride coming to 4k in September. Did anyone pick up the Avatar films in 4k? I bet the look great. I might pick them up even though I don't like the movies much.

I checked the first on movie on Disney+. It did look very good in my opinion but people say that its upscaled because the movie was finished in 2K.

People forget how long ago that movie came out — it was shot before the first viable 4K cinema camera was even released. So yes, it’s been upscaled from a 2K master.
I wouldn’t get too hung up on that though. Cinema 2K is still slightly higher than 1080p and resolution is only one aspect of why 4K Blu-ray looks better. There are some stunning-looking transfers from 2K masters.

Looks great. I remember watching the Animated Series when I was younger, but I didn't catch any of the movies from that time period, so I'll pick this one up. Are there any others from that group that did the animated tv show I should grab?
VulcanRaven

I recommend Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero that is also based on the animated series. There are two other movies I haven't seen: Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Mask of the Phantasm is the only one released in theaters.

I just purchased the Panasonic UB820 because my Xbox 4K players were having issues with disc playback for some reason. It also supports all of the HDR formats and works as a 4K upscaler which is nice. Excited to get my hands on it.

It's been a pricey summer. Still have Arrow's 4k release of Battle Royale on the way (not the 5 disc set though, nobody cares about 2) and Baby Driver.
Can't go wrong with the UB820.

Target had a listing for a bit that sold out real fast. I fear this'll be a thing that gets grabbed more by scalpers than collectors.

I’ve never actually watched the nick cage version, but it’s fun watching it with scenes out of context.
