Yeah, you have to wonder if T1 will get the same treatment if it ever comes out on 4K.

 

I think The Abyss looks the best out of the new Cameron 4K titles so far.

 

I'm glad they're finally releasing these and there'll be many who'll enjoy them, but given the wait, I think these could've been a lot better.

 

From the remasters to the bonus material to the physical packaging itself (barebones 4K amaray).

 

It feels like these were rushed and thrown together to shut people up.

 

It's wild that it was such a long wait because Cameron had to oversee the transfer personally only so he could DNR them

It looks like The Abyss has fared a bit better than the restorations for True Lies and Aliens.

 

There are some shots that haven't escaped the teal-tint and smoothed over/waxy look of the other two, but it mostly looks good. 

 

There's some nice detail and the colours pop, particularly with the underwater footage.

I was curious because the trailer for the abyss looked fantastic but it was on YouTube so I wasn't sure.  Probably helps that there is so much blue in this movie anyway and people being wet a lot maybe helps with the waxiness.  Guess this means I should stop holding out on T2.  Cameron doesn't seem to be changing his mind about this

Why is it so blue?

So I'm seeing people say James Cameron used AI to remaster true lies.  I hope this is not what they did for the physical release 

For challenge #36

I really like the ones that have a slip that adds something to the art

Universal soldier 

The mist

Crank

Thanks to @extantsrevenge and @Masterblaster I thought I had missed out on this one.  So happy to have this one in my collection.  I thought it had got lost in the mail but @Masterblaster had more confidence in the post office than me and turned out he was right.

And my vinegar syndrome orders have finally arrived.

the prophecy box is cool and unique

It has a little texture to it, but nothing too special. 

I thought about getting Daryl but it's been so long since I saw it I couldn't remember if I even liked it.

Couple of new Manta OC's  

 

Some regular releases.  

 

 

 

A few more Kino's and had to pick up Clue.

 

Finally, The Vinegar Nov drops and a few more from their Black Friday Sale.  Love the RAD VHS.

 

 

How is that eXisTance?  They said the cover is supposed to have a skin like texture or something

What does that mean in plain English 😁

People are going to stop buying digital movies.  Which may end up being good for physical media.  I don't think anyone wants to pay $20 for a movie now that they know it could disappear at any time and there's nothing they can do about it.

Digital purchases are gonna tank

I don’t think I realized there was another edition, unless you mean just the plain disc?  I got this same edition from Arrow.  I only popped it in for a few minutes last night, very good transfer.  Like a lot of them, just ok during the credits (still a significant bump), excellent after that.  I hope to watch the entire movie tonight, was too sleepy last night by the time if the kiddo to bed.

The other edition is white

Props to Grindhouse.  If they get something early, they send it.  Helps I’m sure that they’re location is like a 2 hour drive from me.

 

I actually ordered a 2nd set of this one to keep unopened (which I rarely do but I love this movie) from Arrow, don’t have any notification from them yet.

Oh ok.  Yea mine is from arrow.  I did also get the other edition.  Is your second one the other edition or the same one?

Ok, this is an exciting day.  Can’t tell you how much I loved this movie as a kid in the 80s:

 

 

Can youuuu dig iiiiiit???

 

So glad they included both versions.  The comic version has been the only one you can find since they released it almost 20 years ago.  It’s really grown on me but I can’t wait to watch the theatrical version again.  Both in 4K.

 

 

Reversible cover.  I really like the new one; original obviously a classic:

 

 

Love love love the gang stickers:

 

 

2 great poster options.  Love the Baseball Fury postcard (they’re all great).

 

 

So awesome.

 

 

Man you already got yours?  I haven't even gotten a shipping notification yet☹️

Who's actually making this?

Latest arrivals.

Got some mediabooks.  Thanks to @Masterblaster for always packing the boxes so well

of course best buy doesn't do such a good job

point break had some break points. Fortunately they quickly replaced it so I got a good one now
