HeresyFor my money the definitive interpretation, and one that cannot be beaten, is the 80’s TV show Robin of Sherwood which got everything right and has coloured every version, including Prince of Thieves, Ridley Scott’s abomination and even tonight’s feature, ever since!
Apparently so, looking at other reviews elsewhere. It's listed as only having one UHD.Review says compatible with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision - didn't think that was possible?!
Does it mean it has DV and HD10+ on the same disc?
@Simon Crust....
How did you come up with the overall score of 5?
You gave the scores 4, 10, 10 and 5 for Movie, Picture Quality, Sound Quality and then Extras. Which surely, averaged out is just over 7/10?
I'm assuming you didn't like the movie too much, I haven't seen it personally but surely an "overall" score is all the individual scores added up and divided by 4?
I've seen this a few times now and just don't understand it, surely it's got to be an average or it just becomes a "movie review", not a 4K UHD review.

I don't think each category is given equal weighting. For example - I don't care about extras, should the fact the extras are terrible detracts from a great film? No, not in my opinion.
I don't think they should give a score for the Movie itself. Yes, give their opinion on it, Everyone is entitled to that. But a lot of AV enthusiasts who buy UHD's already know about the movie and want a copy of the film.
What I do look for, when deciding to buy a 4K UHD or not is, if the picture quality and/or sound are excellent. I would buy an 'OK' film if I thought I could enjoy the picture and sound quality. They are the the most critical features of a 4K UHD. I rarely watch any Extras on the disc, so they are completely unimportant to me (I personally wouldn't even give a score for them)!
If I loved the film, i'd ONLY buy the UHD if a) it was a new release and I didn't already own it on Blu Ray or b)if it is a re-release on 4K UHD and it had better Vision/sound than on the Blu Ray copy.
To be honest I very, very rarely read ANY movie review, UHD or Theatre release. I never go off other people's opinion of a Movie - I have seen movie's I love given a very poor score and seen movies I dislike applauded by movie reviewers.
