Movie Updates

They're releasing tranches of these unavailable V titles daily. They've said 25-35 a day. I've already had several become available in the last few weeks to include Death Proof and Battle Royale.
Death Proof is available on Blu. Or is it OOP?
 
Oblivion updated

Changes in this update:
  • Additional audio tracks (4K)
  • Video quality improvements (4K)
  • Audio and video improvements (HD)

I got so excited when I saw “Additional audio tracks” assuming we were finally getting the Atmos track for this title. Alas, it’s PCM Stereo.

I think we are in luck to have the 5.1 soundtrack on this one, apparently on the Atmos mix they neutered the bass for some reason

UHD added as well.

I never purchased the 4K version as I heard the transfer was not good. I wonder if the the video improvements fixed this and/or the UHD (non-HDR version) mirrors the HD picture quality. Might be worth pulling the trigger to check.

Yeah...big time difference in bass below 48 Hz between the 7.1 and Atmos (and especially under 20 Hz). The Blu was a bit heavy handed but that's what made it fun if you have a monster setup. Stinks because otherwise the Atmos track is an awesome display of what that format can do; very active and accurate in placing/moving audio objects in 3D space. Exceptional enough that it's my preferred track - even with the just average bass response and softened picture (on the 4K disc at least).

Aren’t these differences on Edge of Tomorrow, not Oblivion?

  • Audio and video improvements (at least on 4K HDR)

My copy of Furiosa, the DV version; the sound went silent for a couple of seconds at around the 1:10 time stamp. Should I contact, Kaleidescape or do they usual just have you download again? Would this be an issue with the copy that WB sent to Kaleidescape?

I had brought this to their attention. It has been confirmed and they are looking to address this.

There is a brief drop around the 50:00 min mark as well.

Fwiw, the HDR10 version has those drops as well (on the V). These drops were not present on the C.

This makes me so happy to see extras getting added. I was just looking at Bullet Train the other day and noticed it was missing some from the Blu-ray. And absolutely amazing to start seeing extras as a separate download.

Yeah, I had noticed the earlier one as well, but it was less than a second long. It was the 2nd one that lasted around 3 or 4 seconds. Glad to know it's already been reported.

Someone in another forum said Furiosa in DV looked softer on the V compared to the disc.
