Top 10 Worst Looking Franchises On 4k Ultra HD Bluray.

Here is my top 10 worst looking franchises on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.

The James Cameron movies are the worst I’ve ever seen. AI should never be considered for restoring films.

Great content as usual Keith, and useful in helping viewers to avoid some poor transfers of (some) great movies. Couldn’t agree more with you regarding your choices, especially Star Wars and the Cornetto trilogy. Due to space restrictions, I typically trade in or pass on to friends my old Blu Rays almost as soon as I’ve purchased the 4K version. It is poor transfers like those franchises received that now make me think twice about doing this. So frustrating when, like most collectors, you invest in the best equipment you can stretch your budget to for that optimum viewing experience only for a bad transfer to ruin everything.

Great review,
I’ve had my fair share of crap 4k’s in the past and know where you are coming from.
Hope you do a Top 10 of the best 4k’s soon.

This is why your channel is one of the best out there Kieth you’re honest and extremely informative. Again well done for yet another brilliant vlog.

Hello Keith, great list. I just bought the OT on seperate 4Ks for 13 euro each last Christmas and I thought the picture quality was fantastic whenever it was original footage. That horrible "new" cgi is made even worse by the 4k. But I thought detail was just fantastic overall, since they scanned the negative on 4K it should be. I didnt notice much in the way of dnr but maybe ill check them out again and keep an eye out. Btw are the older blu rays of jurrasic park a better purchase or are they the same dnr as the 25th anniversary release?

with the release of 4k80, best way to watch star wars is 4k77-83. its a shame that fans had to step in to save those films. even 4k99 is the real version of phantom menance.

Another public service announcement from you Keith, thank you ⭐️!

I was so disappointed with the Jurassic Park transfer, especially when it's a childhood favourite, the emotions are already high so it was a huge blow. I splurged on the 6 film 4k Steelbook box set so at least they look pretty on the shelf I guess!

I'm curious which of the HP films are the worst ones? As you mention black levels, 80% of Deathly Hallows 1&2 are dark movies so if they haven't got it right on those two then they're definitely not worth the upgrade!

I still have not adopted 4k, and really helpful videos like this one are part of the reason. The other being expense, of course. It feels like 4k is much more of a minefield than previous formats, the studios having to bring their properties up to a certain quality standard - almost, it seems, for the first time.

I'd love to hear your general thoughts on 4k. Has the technology exceeded our source material for some of the older movies?

[LaughMuBai]

Thanks for the heads-up on these, much appreciated! Shame about the Simon Pegg ones as was think they're worth another watch.
It begs the question, are some of these actually 4K transfers, or just snake oil? It also highlights there should be a minimum 4K standard that is verified independently on a reference monitor to bear the mark...

Hey Keith no surprise that Disney has a strong showing in that top 10. I do want to see those angel films now for the laugh sometime. I just started Harry potters for the first time and finished the second one, the dts-x was quite good and that scene with the spiders in the cave felt like they were all around my room, some other good scenes with flying aswell. I did cancel the batman sets for now cause I got annoyed seeing some of the others close to 30eur... I'm going to get them individually and wait a little for a price drop, they should drop faster than the previous 5 from last year.

This is a great video, very helpful. I'm one of those collectors who still hasn't made the leap to 4K for financial reasons but I hope to in due course and already buy dual-format editions where the movie is special to me so I can enjoy the Blu-ray now and have the 4K disc to watch further down the line. This is the case with the original Star Wars trilogy where I bought the three individual 4K releases with Blu-ray included although now I am thinking I probably shouldn't have bothered.! I think the major studios are really not doing much to encourage us potential 4K newbies to make the leap from Blu-ray to 4K as there seems to be so many poor 4K releases out there, it is all very off-putting and confusing. Anyway keep up the great work Keith, you are doing us all a great service by sharing your experiences 👍
Best wishes
Matt

Great video Keith. It's transfers like these that makes me very hesitant to upgrade movies to 4K. The worst 4Ks I have seen are A Quiet Place, Brightburn and Casino Royale.

[Kmichelinstarmovies]

I can't disagree with you on any of this 100 % spot on 👍👏 More recently the new Rocky 4k's are a massive disappointment all 4 films are hugely inconsistent id say Rocky is the best looking the rest are suspect. Star wars were the one that hurt me the most i was distraught after we waited so long to get them on 4K

[RoyMurphy]

Very interesting glad to say I don't have one film from your very careful when buying the I'm sure most of these big blockbuster movies will get revisited and get better transfers. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[JonnySkywalker]

You did it again man u saved me money u legend I was about to buy the ironman trilogy on 4k I'm glad I didn't good man 🤘

[ethanmole]

Hey Keith! Great video as always. I have a quick question, what do you think of the Fly? I see you have it in the background of your videos. I was thinking about watching it.

[joefaracevideos]

This was a wonderful educational take on something that makes me wonder what the heck these companies are thinking. Did nobody look at the transfers before they shipped them? Thanks for looking out for us, Keith.

[Friendo]

Very helpful video Keith. I own the jurassic park 4k as I am a massive fan of that original movie. Such a shame it never got a proper transfer for such an iconic movie. Hopefully, a remastered version will happen in the future.

[MultiPsycopat]

Hi Keith, thanks for the heads up on some of these titles, I can't stand inconsistency either, especially in a franchise series, it's so off putting too me. Another great upload, keep em coming, Patrick.

[killwils]

Thanks for the review of The Cornetto Trilogy, ive always fancied this but ive never seen any reviews, i can see Zavvi have got an exclusive steelbook edition of Hot Fuzz, do you think it will be the same transfer?
