Great review Adam, and 100% accurate. The DNR work on this is shameful, and this movie was shot on film. They could have 4K scanned this easily, but chose to cheap out and let the name carry the sales. I do not recommend this release in any way. Disney are the worst company to release 4K UHD Discs, and are not worth supporting anymore.
@@brantlisk786 none of that, they need to learn how to make a movie with no dnr, and higher metadata, under 50 for 4K discs is embarrassing, can’t stand letting Disney get away with subpar 4ks, so don’t support any format they sell, till they learn how to play ball, they’ve been on the bench forever except for they’re Fox Titles
With how huge Disney is, you'd think they could easily have the talent to put a team together and be the best out there in terms of 4k quality. Feels like it's just a big middle finger telling people to stop buying physical media.
I went to Best Buy on the 30th or 31st of December and they already had this movie on the shelf. The cashier couldn't find it in the system and the manager explained he couldn't sell it since it's before the official release date. Looking at this video I think I owe that manager a thank you.
I waited so long for this 4k, I picked it up on Sunday. Then mid way realized the DNR, edge enhancement and black crushed. Switched out the 4k with old blu-ray that they included to see some color. In, T2 didn't even included the old blu-ray.
I’m so mad at Disney. And mad at myself for thinking they’d even give it an above average effort. For a company worth what they are they have ZERO respect for their movie’s fans.
It’s sad that Disney doesn’t seem to care much about physical 4K. Hopefully they see the poor reviews that you and other channels like Spare Change and Films At Home give them when it’s what’s deserved of them, and they adjust accordingly. But I won’t hold my breath.
It goes beyond that, they don’t care about upgrading movie quality in general, physical or streaming. I saw a few minutes of Pirates on Disney+, just as bad as the physical.
This is why they didn't have Gore Verbinski(Director)and The director of photography to help restoring this onto 4k..disney you should let Shout Factory to do all disney films onto 4k...
This is SUCH a disappointment! When they actually did a good job with Roger Rabbit 4K, I was REALLY hoping that it meant that they would do a good job with this one too. It makes me SO sad that they did not, because this is a great movie that deserves a great 4K transfer. I looked at screenshots, comparing the 4K and the Blu Ray, and yeah I think the Blu Ray looks better and more detailed because lots of detail was scrubbed out on the 4K :( Good thing I waited for screenshots/reviews before opening my 4K disc, so I'm gonna return it and stick with the Blu Ray, sadly.
The thing is that contrary to popular opinion, Disney has released decent movies, but it is not Disney itself doing those 4K releases. For example, Luca was a REALLY good release, but in this case it was Pixar, even Toy Story, and A Bug's Life, those are incredible looking 4K releases in my book, the remaster work is remarkable. The bad fame is when Disney itself releases a movie such as the case with Pirates of the Caribbean, we can see the horrible job they do with 4K and Dolby Atmos.
I decided against buying any disney 4k blu rays until further notice. I cannot support these extremely lackluster releases and it's shameful. It feels like disney wants you to focus exclusively on their app. Thanks for the honest review Adam.
Disney+. They think most people are watching on there (which is true), and that people won't notice or don't care about average AV quality (also true for a lot of the general public). Disney just want you to join the easily pleased masses.
Nothing beats the bluray release only thing i can say good about the 4k release is if you love this movie as much as i do use the 4k version at night to see it a lil better and 2nd only good thing i can say about it is the disc should take more uses so your bluray version last alot longer
Watched it last night, I couldn't be more disappointed... It wasn't even the DNR, the colors just looked so DULL and dark. The blacks were crushed, sometimes you could even see ARTIFACTS, on 4K disc out of all things. This is by far the worst 4K disc in my collection, it makes the T2, or even SW Episode 1 an acceptable release in comparison. It really made the film not enjoyable AT ALL. One thing I have to point out to you Adam, is that you are way too generous with the Audio aspect of movies in general. This audio track deserved at least a C, if not a D+. The audio track was acceptable at most, which to me is barely a passing grade. We need to start holding audio tracks to higher standards, after what we received with titles such as LOTR, Indiana Jones, or even The Thing, the bar has been set so high that we need to start demanding more. I am so sad this was done to Pirates of the Caribbean, the only thing that kept me from stopping the disc was the movie itself, otherwise I'd had turned it off 20 minutes into it.
As soon as you mentioned T2 I was like ah shit, Waxwork shit in the pan kind of deal. That’s a shame if I’m being honest because I do like this movie but never mind.
The Dolby Atmos track is locked with no 3D objects like most Disney Atmouse mixes, the bass is lacking, and about the only thing placed in the overheads and in the added rear channels is music score bleed.
My cousin wrote the story for this movie....it seems the 4k transfer does not suit his talent and the talent of all those who came together to make this movie.....
Hey Adam, that’s such a shame I remember when this was released on DVD the picture and the sound were outstanding I do not own this on Blu-ray. I don’t understand this overuse of DNR I could see fixing a particular scene that was lit or shot incorrectly and revealed things you were not supposed to see with the Director or cinematographers blessing. you would think the people at Disney would be movie lovers and film fanatic that would be like a car performance shop removing V8 and installing four cylinders I don’t understand very disappointing but thanks for letting me know as I had planned to pick us up have a good one as always
@@MovieGuy365 The hell? It turns out, it was the same DNR'd master Disney+ 4K is using. What a disappointment for the viewer who liked the Gore Verbinski trilogy (Black Pearl to At World's End). Glad I have the Blu-ray releases of the trilogy I always watch for Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Disney really needs to stop upscaling their 2K films. "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King" and "Mulan" do not look good in 4K. They were finalized in 2K and that's where they should have stayed.
I'm not surprised at all. Disney used to be such a great company releasing fantastic animated movies and wonderful physical media released often with very original packaging. However, several years ago they completely stopped caring about physical media. Nowadays it's only one lazy release after the other. It's very clearly they just refuse to put any effort, money or manpower into any of their physical releases. The only thing they care about is people signing up for Disney+. All in all, this release of Pirates of the Caribbean is exactly what I already expected from Disney.
I'm so disappointed I was going to get it in 4k. I grew up and absolutely loved these movies as a kid. I need some new cds because I've had the orginal ones for quite some time. They are in rough shape I guess blue ray it is.
Nice, thanks for the great detailed analysis. I'm waiting for the whole combined series in one box release, so if people complain to Disney, maybe Disney will hire better QC people to improve their quality releases for 4k\8k.
This is obviously the same transfer that's on Disney Plus. I couldn't finish watching it due to how underwhelming it looked. I thought they would at least work on the transfer for the physical release.
Oh no you would of thought they would of give this one more time and attention,I feel like all 4ks need time and attention otherwise what's the point, in some cases you may as well stick with the old blu rays, my gamma setting on my TV causes this effect on 0 which is unusual because its the mid way setting and its the most advisable, so I have to move it off 0 to prevent this waxy, almost shop dummy DNR look on alot of my 4ks.
@@ethanberry9846 Dam. Have you Googled the issue to see if other owners of the same model are experiencing the same problem? Does the gamma setting actually do what it is meant to do, or is this waxy effect all it seems to do? Sorry for all the questions. Makes you wonder if it has been connected incorrectly inside, and the gamma control is actually a noise filter or something.
@@jonahlevin67 yeah I've checked out online forums and people have the same issue, I set the gamma to 1 and it looks way better, normal/natural, its not the greatest TV, from what I've experienced with Samsung tvs they have that horrible HDR+ feature which to me provides a fake HDR to the TV, my oppo player displays the HDR setting as it should so I just disable that feature on the TV and run with a standard picture setting, I don't use movie mode or warm tone settings as most people do because personally I don't like these settings, Its my aim this year to get my hands on an LG Oled and do away with Samsung tvs, they're also not equipped with Dolby Vision or Atmos so I am due an upgrade, thanks for your help :)
That costs a lot of money and most studios are too cheap to create a rebuild of the effects and go back to the original negatives and then completely reassemble the film from scratch.
@@chamber20projects In Australia. All the discs look like ass except for the newest as it's the same 4k disc as before. However, all the Atmos tracks are Atmouse.
Sell it and get the blu-ray 5 movie set while it's still cheap and available! I got it last year as I only like the first movie enough to consider a 4K upgrade anyway, so now I'm sticking with what I have.
Apparently Disney is as bad a making 4k Discs as they are at making overpriced Star Wars Hotel Experience. At least the Disc didn't cost anybody $6000 so count your blessings.
Hd movie source is right on point,we need to stop buying this craps from Disney,period,this is not the first one and is not going to be the last one, I am 😡,thanks Adam
I remember seeing it in cinemas as a 14 year old kid and not a great version of one of Disney’s great franchises unsure if I will get the collection in 4K
It never ends! I’m still pissed that Disney was allowed to purchase Fox, normally a company controlling a 1/4 of an industry is shut down by government!! We would have so many great films released by Fox on 4K if it didn’t happen… the only good 4K releases that Disney have are films that Fox had already worked on…. instead we are left with a massive back catalogue of titles that will never see the light of day on 4K… WHEN (not if) Disney pulls the plug on physical media, and they will be the first, it will be the downfall of physical media…. Marvel fanboys enjoy your generic movies the mouse will be the end of physical media
Stupid me bought the 5 disc set before checking reviews. The picture is way too dark and the Atmos mix is almost simple stereo. Next to no surrounds and subs and absolutely no Atmos tops. A complete waste of money.
A lot of 4k discs with a DI from the past 20 years are stuck at 2k unless there are original cut negatives to pull from the archives and rescan at 4k... if the film isn't full of CG effects. Even 2k upscales can look great in 4k with 10 or 12 bit depth, a wider color gamut, and HDR.
I have them all on 4K and they all have DNR, and reliance on teal colouring. I have the Australian 5-disc set, and it seems the only difference is that the Australian versions have Dolby Vision encoding, not only HDR 10. Either way, they look lacklustre, imo.
@Physical media agent they tend to do that. They will release movies in 4k in other countries but won’t here for a long time. Like the first Texas chainsaw massacre film is in 4k HDR but it’s only being released in Germany if I’m not mistaken. Which sucks because that will sell out here in the United States especially if it looks and sounds really good. Not sure why they release certain things in other countries but take forever to do it here
Too many CG effects. Disney is too cheap for an original source rebuild. However, if they knew what they were doing, even a 2K upscale could look pretty decent and the Atmos remix could have been stellar.
What a huge disappointment, I really wanted this movie to have a great transfer, I am glad I saw your review before I bought the movie and wasted 23 dollars.
How does Disney fuk up one of their biggest franchises! All they care about is money. you know I'm not as worried about DNR as some people. But I was hoping for some nice HDR!
@@comiccollex958 Their Atmos tracks suck for the most part anyway. Listen to Blade Runner 2049 and Dune in lossless Dolby Atmos on disc with a decent Atmos system and they will blow you away.
@@dan_hitchman007 I agree; I don't have Dune yet (saw it in a Dolby Cinema though!), but Blade Runner 2049 is an incredible experience on 4K disc, the soundtrack is scary on a good system.
Disney with another stake through the heart of the physical media community
The problem is, the streaming 4K version is also bad.
What a shame. This movie should have been a poster- child for 4k blu- rays, considering all the tropical settings, costumes, ships at sea, etc.
And it was shot on film! They could've done an amazing 4k scan of the original negative.
Can you imagine someone starting to get into 4k and this is their 1st 4k movie?
Ouch!
Sleepy Hollow on bluray
Get the shining, or the dark knight trilogy when starting on 4k bluray

Thank you Adam. I appreciate your honest review. It's good to know that I can save a few dollars and stick with my blu-ray copy.

I’ll stay with my Blu-ray edition thank you for the heads up
Wow glad I waited for your review! Blu-ray copies will stay in my collection.
Thanks, Adam! I’m taking this 💩 right back!
I don't understand why Disney is so in love with DNR. They use it all the time. It's so damn annoying.
I watched this on VUDU on 4k. The 4K should be titled Curse of the Digital Noise Reduction 😂🤣
Like LotR?

Yea I hear the stream is also bad
I think Disney should learn about The Matrix trilogy 4K. The Matrix trilogy has a lot of CGI, but no DNR with a lot of grain.
Wow that’s too bad. This movie should’ve been done properly for its 4k treatment.

That’s a shame if I’m being honest because I do like this movie but never mind.
Stick with (or buy) the blu-ray, which apparently has the best image and sound now, beating the 4K disc or Disney+ streaming version.
"Terminator 2" had a bad 4K transfer because StudioCanal believed that the 3D version was a good source for Lionsgate to use.
Honest merchants that actually carry it in their inventory are advising their customers NOT to buy it! The worst...
The Dolby Atmos track is locked with no 3D objects like most Disney Atmouse mixes, the bass is lacking, and about the only thing placed in the overheads and in the added rear channels is music score bleed.

Not sure why they release certain things in other countries but take forever to do it here
@Physical media agent Australian release.
Another bad Disney 4K blu-ray that is not worth buying. Disney keeps on failing.
Will not buy. Saw another review same not recommended. Will keep my blue ray.
A lazy excuse of a disc. Why not restore everything from its original negative? Disney are just the awful.
Too many CG effects. Disney is too cheap for an original source rebuild. However, if they knew what they were doing, even a 2K upscale could look pretty decent and the Atmos remix could have been stellar.
Agree Adam the Australian disc is horrid and the sequels are hit miss on 4k too Disney really are the worst
The Australian disc is just the American disc anyway but the sequels are not much either.
@Physical media agent It has all of the Pirates in 4K. It has a similar story to this 4K.
@Physical media agent JBHIFI.
@Physical media agent Stick with the blu-rays if you have them; they're better quality all round.
What a huge disappointment, I really wanted this movie to have a great transfer, I am glad I saw your review before I bought the movie and wasted 23 dollars.
Talk about a big yikes
worst 4k of 2022? lol
I hope so. I hope they listen to hisprevious videos.
I watched it last night, it’s not Great, but It didn’t look that bad.
Oh, it's bad if you know what you are looking for.
Try the included blu-ray for a better experience (closer to the original).
Oh dear gonna give this a miss very disappointing
Christ Disney really sucks.🤧😵😲😴😰
My guess before watching the video is that they are both really bad transfers!
How does Disney fuk up one of their biggest franchises! All they care about is money. you know I'm not as worried about DNR as some people. But I was hoping for some nice HDR!
bummer.
I'm surprised you didn't give this a F!
Almost.
@@MovieGuy365 Worse than IB? IB isn't too amazing in 4K.
@@MovieGuy365 I think T2 has at least great colour scheme. I guess T2 is better than this?
@@vincentyu1947 Not by much. T2 still looks lousy.
Seems like it was Disney which couldn't give an F...
Typical underwhelming physical media release from Disney. No doubt the Disney plus release will be far superior. Shocking studio
It’s not. I compared the two, it’s nearly identical.
@@MovieGuy365 interesting. The MCU. 4K releases are far superior on D+ with imax enhanced and Dolby Vision
@@comiccollex958 Their Atmos tracks suck for the most part anyway. Listen to Blade Runner 2049 and Dune in lossless Dolby Atmos on disc with a decent Atmos system and they will blow you away.
@@dan_hitchman007 I agree; I don't have Dune yet (saw it in a Dolby Cinema though!), but Blade Runner 2049 is an incredible experience on 4K disc, the soundtrack is scary on a good system.
Holy shit some of those shots you showed were atrocious. DNR needs to be outlawed :/
This has to be almost T2 levels of bad
T2 has great colours, it is better than Pirates in 4K.
