Just finished the Abyss in the home theater 133" 2.35 screen and 7.2.4 atmos soundstage with a Sony XW6000es. I know the 4k cut may be a concern to some due to finishing touches and 5.1 may be a letdown, but this was the best I've ever see it after having to catch it for years on TV only.
I'm sure the Atmos track will be way more immersive and I won't be surprised if it releases in the next month. The 5.1 track was mixed well and was still more immersive than I imagined it would be.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
Right now only the theatrical version is available in 4k. The "Special Edition" is offered as an extra in HD quality.Is The Abyss the theater release (I sure hope not) or the Extended Release/Director's Cut?
So does the Hd Version download when I download the HDR version?Right now only the theatrical version is available in 4k. The "Special Edition" is offered as an extra in HD quality.
No, you need to download the HD version to get the extras including the "Special Edition" in this case.So does the Hd Version download when I download the HDR version?
I think this is a quirk with how the store presents the quality levels when browsing. If a title has a HDR or UHD option you will only see those even if an HD version is available as well. If you click on a specific title all versions are shown.When I do a search for "The Abyss" in the store, only the HDR version shows up.
It's funny you say that. I remember it being not so good, but with all the hype leading up to it the last few months I thought maybe it was just me not remembering as well. It's entertaining, but not an all time great. The Abyss, to me, is a great movie.Watched True Lies last night and the video was great. No complaints. (I remembered the movie being much, much better than what we experienced last night. But maybe my tastes have changed in the last 30 years!!
One of my favorites as well - but then again, I haven't seen it in a very long time. Though I have downloaded it, I will wait to watch until the sound is upgraded to Atmos - which I hope is much sooner than later.It's funny you say that.
