Great books! One of my favourite series. The film was good, watched on Netflix a few years ago.Great movie.
As this seems to just be a port of the USA release the raised blacks should be fixable with use of TV/player picture adjustment controls, same as with that release. Once that is done USA release looks fine to my eyes.Great books! One of my favourite series. The film was good, watched on Netflix a few years ago.
Would love to buy this if it was "fixed"

If all of Humanity had come very, very close to being totally wiped out, & it was believed that the same threat was just regrouping to attack again, it is impossible to say what might become acceptible - and that takes us into actual War in general & the continual resetting of morals to justify waging war in different ways, but that's MUCH too far off topic!I felt they really overshot the moral grey area stuff in the movie.
I remember being horrified reading the book and feeling like the movie was more shades of "Oh dear...OH WELL!"
Graff in the book is unquestionably a monster but I feel like as soon as you put Harrison Ford in that role you're already accepting a step away from that.
I just found it all very unsatisfying.

I believe, right off from the casting of Mr. Ford, the Studio never really understood how to work with the source material - or they just decided to "Hollywood" it, which rarely, if ever, works.I remember the awful trailer for this movie in the cinema put me right off seeing it. The trailer gave the whole thing a Twilight / Hunger Games / Harry Potter vibe and did a complete disservice to what is an excellent sci-fi flick. When I finally got around to watching this on bluray it blew me away. I'd give the movie a solid 8-9/10 personally. I loved it! Made me very annoyed indeed at the trailer makers. They undoubtedly did enormous damage to the box office takings with the poor trailer. Sad to see that the UHD picture is not right. That's Enders Game added to Oblivion as another UHD on the "wait for re-issue special restoration" before I upgrade from my blurays.
So does this have Dolby Vision but the US disc is just HDR10? Like Watchmen?
Interesting that the iTunes version does have DV & no raised blacks. Looks Fantastic. Such a shame they did not get things right with this Disk release.Appears identical as per the review, where did you get the idea it has DV?
I thought it said Dolby Vision on the side of the picture at the top where it lists HDR, Atmos etc. Apologies Cas, I must have misread it.Appears identical as per the review, where did you get the idea it has DV?
My B7 does not have that problem with the ATV4K.I have this both on disc and in iTunes. DV is elevated via the ATV4K, but not as bad as the UHD disc. Unfortunately, all DV content on the ATV4K has elevated blacks on my LG E6 OLED, as is the case with just about every LG OLED. It's a messed up profile that Apple is using.
You are lucky as many do whether it's an E6, all the way up to the CX. It's a known issue with the ATV4K. If you watch tv in a totally dark room, it becomes obvious.My B7 does not have that problem with the ATV4K.
We do watch in a totally dark room for any Dark Scene / Space Movies (And we seem to have a bunch of those!). We even have outside shutters for the windows so there is no spillage around curtains to worry about.You are lucky as many do whether it's an E6, all the way up to the CX.

For me, it's only the ATV4K that has issue. DV on all other devices are perfect.We do watch in a totally dark room for any Dark Scene / Space Movies (And we seem to have a bunch of those!). We even have outside shutters for the windows so there is no spillage around curtains to worry about.
Another good reason for staying with our B7 as long as possible!![]()
