    I recently ordered the (2015) Terminator (1984) Blu-ray, Ill be doing a updated comparison video once the Blu-ray arrives. thank you for all the feedback and thank you for watching!

    I’m the outlier. On every single one I strongly preferred the blu-ray overwhelmingly..

    The 2006 has a reddish hue,the quality is like an upscaled dvd, the 2013 Blu ray is what this 4k is from. The detail levels are still higher on 4k regardless of the edge enhancement because it's just a higher res master alone

    Remember when you got the blu-ray included with the 4K?

      Unfortunately, the Terminator (1984) 4k doesn't come with the Blu-ray, only 4k and digital. Which sucks. Thanks for checking out the video 🖖

    You're comparing the WRONG Blu-ray for a start. The 4K UHD disc is quite literally just the 2013 2K remaster (which was released on Blu-ray) upscaled to 4K, with minor colour changes and an Xacto-knife blade added.
    You're comparing the old mid 00's Blu-ray. Compare the 2013 Blu-ray to the 4K. This is an insanely flawed video.

    • @dericjames2018
      @dericjames2018 4 дні тому +1

      Not wrong Blu-ray since the original disc looks superior compared to the new disc...

    • @systemmonitor5295
      @systemmonitor5295 4 дні тому +2

      @dericjames2018 Allow me to clarify. This old Blu-ray is from a totally different scan/master. The remastered Blu-ray from 2013 onwards uses the same source as the 4K UHD - a 2K finished Lowry restoration which introduced a lot of teal into the mix. Therefore, if you are to compare the 4K fairly to a Blu, using the 2013 is correct and using the original Blu is wrong.

    Looks nice, but the constant greenish tint is crap. The original movie was released with a blueish tint -- by intention.
    Why AI upsacling instead of rescanning the original that has all the contrast and details?

    this movie in 4K is mindblowing! if I could only keep 1 4K transfer its going to be this one!

      Its shouldn't be a green sky. That's why I'm
      Doing a proper review with the 2015 Blu-ray. Thanks for checking out the review

    LPCM is uncompressed CD audio.
    The Terminator needs an enhanced edition with upgraded special effects - mainly the anamatronic Arnie head, stop motion and some of the projection screen backgrounds in the future war scenes. But it has to be done sympathetically so its consistent with the rest of the movie and not a load of jarring CGI.

    4k transfer just looks darker

      I thought that I was the only one! On this video I preferred the boy-ray every single time.

    • @GeeksandFlix
      @GeeksandFlix  8 днів тому +3

      I just ordered the 2015 version to do another video comparing the 4 K version to the 2015 remastered.

  • @norwegianblue2017
    @norwegianblue2017 6 днів тому +8

    I think the new 4K transfer looks amazing! Easily the best looking this movie has looked since it was in theaters. I had a friend over to watch it and, even though he is not a videophile, even he commented on how much cleaner it looked and better color. I have a mid-range 65" Sony LED TV, and it doesn't look dark at all, as others have mentioned.

    Fun story (well, maybe not)… I bought Terminator on VHS when it first came out for… $99.99!!! Yup, that’s how much they cost back then.

      Anche qui in Italia i film in VHS costavano 120.000 lire fino al 1990, assolutamente molto cari, poi cominciarono ad uscire anche in edicola e i prezzi scesero a 35/40.000 lire.

    The Blu ray looks INFINITELY better than the 4k "TEAL ray".
    I dont like the teal tint.
    Am I watching The Terminator or The Matrix...?

  • @Strideo1

    If they used AI processing the answer is no. AI enhancement adds details that were never in the original film prints to begin with and the AI algorithms are notorious for getting confused and erasing textures because they're mistaken for "noise".

    • @chuckee1987
      @chuckee1987 7 днів тому +2

      Depends on the AI model used and if it is strictly a VFX AI or an off the shelf one. If it's a trained model for this movie specifically. You don't get the confusion you would with say a GPT or Gemini. (i used those two as an example because they popped in to my head first)

  • @raphaeldelaghetto85
    @raphaeldelaghetto85 5 днів тому +2

    If I’m being honest with myself, most of the time I upgrade from 2K to 4K Blu Ray it’s for new packaging (I.e. A steelbook or slipcover edition with better artwork.)
    Most of the time the difference in video quality is barely noticeable (if at all).

    The terminator does have a couple blurays that differ in picture I wonder how you feel comparing both of those to the 4k
    4k at time is far too dark
    The day time scenes was all good and color does pop but dare I say I like the bluray pic better
    At times 4k looked dull and but that reminds me of the grit of the vhs color
    Theres actually better bluray than that one

      I would love to have that steelbook. But at those prices I opted out for the regular edition.

    Unfair to compare against a copy made in the early days of Blu-ray with an old dated transfer, probably made years before the BD format. I'd like to se a recent Blu-ray made from the new scan/transfer that this 4K UHD disc was based on. This way we can see if the format brings any benefit detail wise over the old one.

    • @GeeksandFlix
      @GeeksandFlix  8 днів тому +1

      I just purchased the latest 2015 remastered version of terminator. So I'll do a proper comparison on it once it comes in.
      Thank you for checking out the video

    The 4K is trash, AI bullshit. Blu-ray looks much better and more natural and brighter despite not having HDR...

    The Old Bluray from 2006 looks so much better, more naturaly! The new Colour-Grading it's so ugly/ greenish, not clearly!!!
    I come from Shithole-Germany😂😮, and here all Blurays are Shit!
    I have the Old MGM-Special-Edition from 2001 or 2002!?! It' s good, but my Mediabook from 2020( with the 2012-Remaster) is so Shiteeee🙄.
    I would the 2006 Bluray from USA, but i think , it's not codefree.....
