The Mummy 1999 | 4K Comparison | 4K Ultra HD Blu ray 2017 vs Blu ray 2008 

Exactly. Blu Ray here has that warmth. The 4k version looks so dry and lifeless.

personally i think the red oversaturation looks horrible.

If I may tell you something, UHD disc is absolutely superior. No higher definition but color is MUCH better and MUCH brighter. Blu ray colour is a bit damp but in UHD disc is brilliant and more accurate. I am really happy to have the UHD disc and highly reccomend it cause you cannot see how HDR increase picturr quality in this video. (Great job BTW)

No way. That Blu ray is WAY too warm. Completely unnatural colors.

@@Mimbrera666 Early Remastering from 2008 what would you expect great Remastering? Glad the 2017 4K Remastered is way better

I think this movie needs the orange tint, I’ve always remebered the orange tint, it looks muddy somehow without it, I will continue watching the blu ray

@@chrisjohnson7255 , I agree. I am happy with my Mummy Blu-ray box set.

And it baffles me saying that 4k movies still trail behind blu-ray/ dvd , obviously not fussy, oh old tvs do not upscale!!!

Really, dont think so, both links are American, so helpful, not everyone is in usa that watches RU-vid

You need an HDR equipped TV to see the clarity

I agree!

Yea, as many times as I've seen this movie, the color pallet IS that warm tone for me. Seeing this comparison, even if the skin tones are more "natural" in the UHD version, it just doesn't "look" like The Mummy I fell in love with. Then again, maybe actually seeing it on my 4k tv will produce a better color than seeing it on computer here.

@@AdamClauson You can always adjust your TV and add a warm filter on it.

Blu-ray is DNR‘d.

@@martinddhyj but the 4K looks very fake mate. the colours look seriously messed

@@madhousenetwork The old Blu-ray master has a reddish tint (skin tones, sky), not what it’s supposed to look like.

Adam C, all I can say is, see for yourself. This is easily one of the best 4K Blu-ray's you can buy especially at the $10.99 price point it's been hovering around recently. If you favor a bright presentation, this is it. It's arguably too bright in some scenes. If it had Dolby Vision, it might be the best 4K disc money could buy. Nothing really surprises me anymore, but if you actually care about picture quality, you should have this 4K disc, period. The rough, dated transfer on the blu-ray, while certainly better than the prior DVD, is not on the same level as the 4K. And I'm saying this as a true believer in the capability of 1080p Blu-ray which is still "good enough" in a lot of situations. Not every 4K is a huge upgrade, but this most definitely is. That said, the challenge with HDR to SDR is the trade off in brightness vs color. In the case of The Mummy, the HDR is so bright in some scenes that the SDR conversion looks less vibrant in color to compensate for the brightness. The color is still closer to the actual disc, but once you have a display that can handle the HDR10 metadata, the presentation is A LOT brighter, trust me. Also, this is an earlier video and was ultimately about comparing the detail in the 4K restoration to the old blu-ray transfer and not color/contrast. As I said though, see for yourself.

You are missing out, it's beautiful and possibly one of the best 4K Blu-ray's out there when you add the DTS:X audio to the conversation.

@@forgottentomatoes7301 its LOST beauty going by your samples. It's not all about 'more res'.

@@Danthehorse Keep in mind it's gonna look washed out on RU-vid cause the video isn't in HDR while the new release is mastered in HDR and HDR content is handled very poorly on SDR screens generally having a very washed out greyish green look to them.

It objectively looks better in 4K. The nostalgia is blinding you

WTF LOL It’s heavily DNR‘d.

I bet you like your tv on vivid mode as well.

The 4K, as with all 4k discs do with browns and skin tones, showcase the natural colors of them. But watch the iPhone filter version if you want I guess

You are confusing HDR with overall picture quality. Resolution, grain, edge enhancement, noise reduction, and highlight clipping can all be compared without viewing in HDR. This is why a recent release like the UHD for Pirates of the Caribbean got negative feedback. There was more wrong with that movie than just bad HDR. This is also why some enthusiasts are perfectly fine with a remastered Blu-ray instead of the 4K HDR version. Also, your TV is going to tone-map the HDR (you call it filter) anyway. There are a lot of people happily watching HDR content on a lower end Samsung, Sony, etc, that might not look that much different from SDR, outside of the wider color gamut. Even then most lower end TV's don't cover all of DCI-P3. And even with higher end TV's that can reach over 1000 nits, there's no guarantee that they display HDR10 as the creator intended.

Well it’s more lifelike. The Blu-ray is oversaturated

Blödsinn. Die alte Blu-ray ist fürchterlich plattgefilert.

Nah. 4k looks way better. Looks a lot more natural. Blu-ray colors look over done. People and things don't look that way off screen.

​@@user-sb1vz9pv5yIt's why TV's have a vivid mode. This fixes the picture and people who want it to look the old way can mess with their tv

Agreed. I prefer the bluray by far.

@@mddifilippo89 vivid setting on a TV ruins the picture that was intended by directors.

@@The_Fat_Fury really? Do people look orange to you in real life then? Lol.

are you looking at in on a 8-bit NON HDR monitor ? If so then that is why it looks like crap!

Bruh... I have it on 4k WITH my 4k Samsung tv and it looks beautiful! Nothing dark about it

It looks alot more natural at 4k its way too orange on bluray.

@@edbeasant9494 its supposed to look orange and colorful. It was made before every film had to have a miserable gritty desaturated color grading. In the 90s they wanted their films to be fun and visually appealing

@@thedarksiderebel oh wow didn't know you were cinematographer on the movie lol.
