Surprisingly Prometheus doesn't benefit as much.

Yeah, one of the best "non-native" 4K discs.

Covenant is touted as one of the best looking 4Ks out there, even the cg looks better, the upscale from 2K notwithstanding. The blue tint comes out over the soft yellow hue more, correct?


Ok just watched it in 4K at a mate's, looks gorgeous, the creature cg is better in 4K;  more detail, more highlights, just overall a crisper more defined image. David's lab really pops. It's gorgeous.

Not sure if this is worth another thread, but check out what Japan is getting:

JC did apply a layer of noise reduction to certain areas in the Aliens Blu-ray, but not to the extent of Predator.

Yep, the grain is part of the film, nothing wrong with it though as its a good reminder of how films were done back then, in fact some films today have deliberately put grain into the film just for the effect.

Yeah, the grain is part of the film for me. Its a characteristic that I would miss if it was completely removed.

I need to get a 4k tv soon. Think Alien or Aliens will look as grainy as in the blu ray formats? Especially Aliens, grains a la masse in there.

The grain in Aliens is inherent to the film stock that Cameron chose. They could smooth it out by slathering it with DNR, but then you'd no longer be looking at the film that he made. Embrace the grain.  ;D

Just the original film for this upcoming release.
Ridley Scott supervised and approved.
I'll be happy if the black crush is dialled back and no teal & orange this time.

Aha indeed, although I'd rather not wait until 2022 to get A3 on 4K.

There needs to be fodder for future anniversaries.

The 2010 Alien Anthology 6-disc Blu-ray set is essential. For me, the main advantage - over the old DVD Quadrilogy set - is more behind-the-scenes material and outtakes from the films - including the premiere presentation of the deleted Burke cocoon scene - I've waited years to see this - it's disappointing and brief, but nice to finally have it released.

I'm not sure whether the 4K release of Alien will include the sequels and prequels or just the original film?
