My Ultra HD 4K Blu-Ray collection! 

I go through my entire 4K Bluray collection and recommend which ones to pick up and ones to avoid. Video recorded in January for my Patreon members.

Yes so glad you did this, rare to find proper full 4k collection break downs so this is great

the Fifth element will always be one to demo on any new tv its so stunning to look at

Why are you buying the 4K updates for movies you think aren't very good? 😅

If I understand right most of Hollywood uses 2k because of CGI and the cost per frame is to high as well as 30 to 100 Hours per frame to render for 4k. Most are upscaled to 4k. The older movies are not as difficult to do. Good Video. Keep Collecting😎

This channel is fantastic, so glad I stumbled upon it recently. Very informative and very interesting for any film lover. Thanks Oliver.

I’m pushing well over 100 4K titles. Quite a bit are “double dips” but I’m a lot more selective in terms of upgrading titles. The Matrix 4K is my favorite because it’s the original color scheme, just as I first saw it back in 1999.

Could you do an updated 4K Collection. I really enjoy watching this video on multiple occasions. And I want to hear your thoughts on the more recent 4K movies as they seem to have been improving on the quality of their releases since you made this video.

The original 1995 Ghost in the Shell actually has a 4K Blu-Ray release in Japan only, but it does seem to include English audio and subtitles. It's a far better film than the 2017 live-action one if you aren't aware.

Takes me back to your vintage laserdisc collection video

You've got some oldies but goodies in your collection. I worked at a laser disc rental store here in San Diego in the 90's and seeing the Star Wars, the set on the lower shelf, and Nixon box sets brings back memories!

Is it me or do dvd/blu-Ray discs special features seem to be getting less.

Great rundown from start to finish, Oliver. I enjoyed each review although I don't yet have a UHD player. Your keen interest in cinema certainly shines through each title.

Awesome collection, Oliver! I was about to say James Gunn was rehired and back on board for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" but I saw the video was recorded in January. Time flies! Glad he's back for the film.

Subbed. You're the real g for going into so much detail. Makes it tons easier when deciding which are the best ones to buy.

Thanks for sharing! I'm really learning new thinks watching your reviews and commentarys :D

let me explain it simpler...the reasion most movies are only 2k is becasue of cgi..if amovie has hevey cgi its going to b 2k...also no mention of the audio on each disc when wether or not the disc has a Atmos track or not is the biggest selling point for a lot of buyers

Just a quick note about Blade Runner: The Atmos mix has lots of added sound effects layered over top which were not present in the old Blu-ray's 5.1 mix, and there's also compression present in smokier scenes during HDR mode. Something of a nuisance but still a big step up from a Blu-ray authored in 2007 in VC-1

Lovely collection, I appreciate you recommending what is worth it on 4k and what works fine just on Blu-ray.

DAMN YOU HARPER! ...had to call in sick today so I could binge watch your videos.

Nice 4K Blu-ray collection Oliver just did subscribed to your channel keep up the good work

What a remarkable video for Blu-Ray fans, I really like seeing whether the disc is a truly 4K transfer, cameras used, those 'nerd' tech specs... Looking forward with the movies recommendation's updates for 2020, Oliver!

Very impressive collection, Oliver! Some of my favourite 4K discs are Gladiator, Unforgiven and Blade Runner, outstanding films with outstanding masters. So many damn upscales from modern releases. Also, I am VERY glad you noticed the difference in sound quality on Jurassic Park, I thought I was the only one! Thanks for the tip, I'll try that now. JP3 on 4K is worth checking out if you're interested; more organic and pronounced colours, with less artificial picture sharpness and less noise. Also, I know you're not a fan of The Lost World, but I can say from comparison that it's the best 4K release of the original Jurassic movies, much stronger than the first film.

Pretty much have the same tastes, Oli! Love your reviews and the 4K collection is dope. This is why I love 4K, it showcases the classics like never before in my life of watching physical media.

Thanks for the video Oliver. Very helpful. I can’t wait for Batman 1989 in 4K.

Most superhero/special fx films will be upscales on 4k UHD as the vfx are rendered in 2k, as a render in 4k costs much more money, so a film.might be shot in 4k/6k etc but it will be mastered in 2k because of fx. This won't change in the future unless studios start rendering vfx in 4k. Pretty much all sfx films are upscales, inc The Last Jedi which you show

Great video, Oliver! I was surprised that you didn’t have Sicario on 4K. Its picture is truly impressive.

Lasec Disc from Nixon behind you (have it as well) , couldn't help but notice , those LD days. Nice collection.

Brilliant video, very helpful when trying to find 4k discs that are worthwhile, I need to get die hard and the blade runner movies. Subbed =)

I’m not normally into videos of collections gaming or otherwise but did enjoy this one! I have an Xbox One S and a cheapo 4K TV but still enjoy the leap up to 4K films. Personally Alien 40th anniversary has been my favourite. So much detail there to study. Hope you get to see it soon and would be interested in your take.

Great video Oliver :) What are you views on 4K steelbooks from places like Zavvi? Some of the cover art works are amazing.

Almost thought you were RedLetterMedia and was confused they went beyond DVD format :')

3:18 Your laugh is gold

One of the most impressive upgrades on a 4K movie I've bought was an unlikely one...Evil Dead 2. Honestly looks excellent, massive improvement over previous versions. The original Evil Dead looks the best it's looked as well, but is rougher and lower budget, so don't expect a showcase for your 4K telly. Dog Soldiers also just got a release in Germany. On the face of it, it's not a brilliant release due to the disc having no HDR, but it's still the best version of the movie that can be had in a home release. The previous DVD's and blu rays all had pretty big problems with colour grading, then the Scream Factory version had an awful, blown out and crushed restoration from a crappy negative. The German digibook sorts out all of that and puts out a no nonsense version of the film that delivers a great home version at last. Expensive for what it is, but if you love the movie, it's absolutely worth it.

I could be mistaken, but I read somewhere that Blade Runner 2049 wasn't shot in native 4K, but more around 3.4K. So it is a slight upscale.

Well done! Most helpful for picking out 4K's.

Great video, did you pick up Batman The Animated series on Blu ray?

Great video, thanks. How do you know which movies are proper 4K and ones that's are upscale?

Nice video. I've just bought a 4k tv and thinking of which films I'd want and what is worth the 4k upgrade from the blu ray

Thanks for the 4K tour. Very helpful. I have about half of these (all newer titles), despite holding off on buying a 4K player (already have the TV though). The problem is I know what will happen - I'll re-buy all my favs, for, what, the fourth time (excluding in-format upgrades to newer spec-eds)? Damnit movies, take my money!

Terminator 2 looks stunning in 4k on my OLED setup. Cameron wanted this film to look like it was shot on digital and the UHD delivers fully - the weakest disc in your collection is probably Jurassic Park. Also checkout Alien 40th anniversary 4K - great disc.

I only have one 4K Blu-Ray and it absolutely blew me away and I would recommend: _It's a Wonderful Life_ It is the sharpest I've ever seen it, and the HDR is spectacular. It makes me wish that more black and white movies were done in 4K

Great collection Oli! I wonder if you can rip this to your PC?

32:35 Super 35 doesn't zoom into the frame, it's just shot in full frame and cropped for presentation

I live in Holland and the blu-ray cases here are slimmer as well just like the American ones you mentioned. I think in my own blu-ray collection the only thick ones are blu-rays I imported from the UK.

Thank you Olivier, very informative.

Thanks for all your great reviews Oliver :) I am especially happy / impressed by your ability to make deep and fair reviews of movies, with an emphasis on both the benefits and the errors of storytelling and the talent and display of various actors. I have thought of another suggestion for a movie that you could review. = yet another partially forgotten but great movie. James Cameron's Avatar 2009. Though it is a movie with lots of clichés and sadly unsatisfactory replies, I still feel it's a great movie, with several good sides and a classic story that we will always retell in various forms. Either way, Avatar was a passionate project, created in the love and art of Cameron to tell a good story. And I respect Avatar for this. Since it is now more than 10 years ago, the outgrowth and the sequels finally come, I think Avatar could be an interesting movie of making a review by you. Thanks. Hope to hear from you.

pretty impressive UHD collection, mine is just; 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Big Lebowski, Blade Runner 2049, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Christine, Dunkirk, The Fifth Element, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, John Wick, Kong: Skull Island, Léon: The Professional, Mad Max: Fury Road and Superman

Is this replacing Red Letter Media's VHS collection?

So awesome to see you have THE DARK CRYSTAL 4K. I have it as well and think it’s great.

waiting for the day there will be a Criterion and BFI collection review of your top picks

Have you seen 4k version (2k master) of peter jacksons king kong? Hdr blows highlights that were already bright on bluray :/ but i have to see it on the oled... Also what do you think about the movie? One of my all time favs :)

Something about newer movies being heavy with their cgi makes them extremely hard and timeconsuning to render or master in 4k. That's why we get a lot of 2k upscales. Please current me of I'm wrong as I'm new to the whole 4k format.

Hi, great video! Can I ask you where did you get the US releases?

I am doing a video like this myself called 'my bookmarks on various porn sites". I really don't get why RU-vid doesn't like me?...

hi there just wondering did you get the town 4k ? i have heard mixed reviews ? any info i would appreciate it.

Cobra Kai season two is coming out...And that Bruce lee show warrior is on Cinemax

Oliver! Any chance you'll do an updated 4K Blu-Ray collection video?

You are so right about the ending of Saving Private Ryan being even better than the beggining

have you seen the black & white logan and mad max. i like both but logan especially in b&w

Just been looking on Amazon and Ebay for Superman 2 the theatrical cut on Blu-ray. Just wondering which is the best version to go for. Also I watched Pleasentville for the first time yesterday. I haven't watched Toby Maguire in anything outside of his Spider-Man movies, and thought it was really good.

Hi, buddy nice collections I am new to the channel liked and subbed to the channel do you use your digital codes?

I'm not really a big fan of 4K discs. One of the big reasons for me to own physical copies is the special features which 4K discs don't typically have room for. Blu-ray 1080p is usually good enough for me.

How do you know if something has been up scaled ?

Hi oliver i just picked up ghostbusters e.t and superman for about 15 quid each i enjoyed e.t with my tru motion on and like you superman is also my fav film right next to the first back to the future me been born in 76 i was lucky to see these great films first time around i would love to see a 4k superman 3 as its never looked too good over the years . Great reviews keep them coming

Great vid. I hope you get over your cold!

You mentioned bleed, but I’ve not personally noticed much at all. Is your TV or projector professionally calibrated? Are they able to resolve the spectral highlights effectively?

Very nice collection Oliver

The new soundmix is also a good reason to get many of these, not just the picture quality. Like the new dts x mix on independence day or the new dolby atmos mix on blade runner and the matrix which blows the old blu ray soundtracks out of the water👍

You should do a video on with 1995s Jumanji. Great movie

There is a Blade Runner 4K collector's edition that has all the cuts but only released over seas and it is region free and I would love to own it. Nice collection btw.

I appreciate that everyone will be saying you should get this or that so i’ll just throw this out there. OBLIVION is a great movie with an unforgettable score and it looks amazing, especially in 4k but the features are great too. There is a feature where you can watch the movie with just the isolated score. That’s my bag and understand that’s not for everyone.

Cool hoodie - I want one!

Would you say 4K is worth getting for a 50 inch screen or is it only really noticeable on an even larger 1?

Is it worth upgrading from Blade Runner blu-ray to 4k? The Blu-ray is already so incredibly gorgeous.

Playing these on a home theater PC using MadVR renderer produces the best picture. It even fixes or at least lessens Mad Max Fury Road's HDR problems.

I was distracted by the Laserdiscs for the whole video!!!!

With Samsung stopping production of bluray players this year do you think physical discs will be around for too much longer?

I saw this in another video here. The reason, many of the new movies seem to be 4k-upscales are the CG effects. Apparantly it's too costly and time consuming to render the effects better than 2k. So anything pretty new and effects heavy is probably going to be an upscale.

oliver can you say what Tv and player you use as i dont see why you are seeing bleeding on hdr?

Just curious how you know the difference between upscale and full 4k??

What brand and model # of TV do you use?

Interesting, I don't think any UHD BDs don't come with standard BD here in the States. Independence Day for example, includes both.

7:10 I say cause it fits better on our shelves Also with our technology we progressively make things smaller and lightweight, our phones are laptops etc.

I've got a couple of 4k disc for Blade Runner, the new Halloween, and those John Carpenter films released by Studio Canal last year but nothing to play them on. It's daunting thinking about collecting films for a whole new format after I've invested so much in blurays. That's a massive fucking shame to hear that the new release of Terminator 2 looks bad- I saw the 3d version in theatres a few years back and I thought it looked decent - when will they get it right on home video!?

James Gunn is coming back to write and direct Guardians 3. Turned out Disney never actually fired him, and were just waiting for the heat to die down. It's supposed to be out in 2022.

When is your film coming out ??

Thanks nice video, cool shirt i have same shirt -hurray! for HM, will you do a laserdisc update soon

How is your theater setting up?

I enjoyed this video, though I disagree with many of your recommendations. I find that HDR has a far more dramatic impact on picture quality vs "true 4K" resolution, which is likely due to my watching on a 65" OLED TV. I'm guessing you're watching on a larger screen, but one that doesn't handle HDR as well. Either way, this was a fun video.

This is great but I really miss your Laserdiscs' pickups updates videos

Very true about extra content on new releases being slim and crap - kind of only get loads of stuff by boutique releases like Arrow Video and Scream Factory - It puts me off buying new movies as I feel like they'll double dip and release a better version one day.

The problem with the T2 transfer is that they used the master prepared for the 3D conversion, which is why they plastered noise reduction over the entire movie, giving it that glossy, unnaturally waxy look. It would probably look great if they could transfer from the pre-processed 4K scan.

Great 4k collection 👍🏻

Very nice colection!!!!!!

Where’d you get your US copies from please?

Hey, please where can I buy this Atari hoodie ? Oh H&M ?

2001: A Space Odyssey is only $16 ($9 GBP) on Amazon AU.

do you eat the 4K after watching them, or are you going to watch them again?? 🤔

I am frustrated that Marvel Studios phones it in with their 4k releases. The picture quality is hit and miss in terms of being significantly better than the 1080p version and sound mixes don't have the same punch they did in the theater. What I can't let go is that Infinity War was filmed in IMAX but none of those shots are on the 4k blu ray. It is going to be the same case with Endgame.
