4K UHD Announcements Thread

That blue tint for the few matte shots of Mars has been present in the 4K master since 2018 so I'm not sure what he was surprised about. If Paramount was intending on addressing it, they would have well before now.

I think there's also some problem with When Worlds Collide, according to the article.

He doesn't like the colors in the new transfer but that's just his opinion. It's a newer transfer than the one on the Imprint release too but he seems to think it's a problem. Doubt they will do anything there because its a subjective thing there isn't anything wrong per se.

The War of the Worlds tint was corrected by Criterion for their Blu last year. But it's kind of like is it worth living with the few seconds of blue for the rest of the transfer being in 4k...the bigger problem for me with the Paramount UHD is there's only one audio track and it's the 5.1 remix which drowns out dialogue at times.

Not a fan of this one so I can pass but someone else, somewhere is likely excited:
