@@stretch90 I thought I was the only one. I only stream these days to take a look at Dolby vision when it is missing on the discs. I spend about 3 minutes and have to turn it off because the quality especially the sound is so bad. Compressed Atmos is a real joke.
@@a-v-karin7617 Dolby Atmos is lossless. Dolby Digital (which is all streaming can handle) is lossy. (So basically a lossy 7.1.4.) So lossy Atmos vs lossless Atmos is about as easy a decision as DD/DTS vs Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HDMA. Not even a close call, the disc wins. And also, Disney couldn’t mix sugar into coffee let alone mix a proper Atmos track for disc or streaming.
I pre-ordered this as soon as it was announced. I went to the theaters and was blown away, and was disappointed to hear it was a boxoffice failure. So when the disc hit physical I wanted to fully support it.
This film was absolutely astonishing, there was a lot of mixed reviews, but when I seen it in the cinema, it made me realise how viking films or shows should follow suit with it being traditional
This was the first film I saw at a Dolbe enhanced theater, and it was a wonderful experience. I don’t have a 4k set-up, but the blu ray is still stunning and one of the most striking films I’ve seen. Definitely in my top 20 and on the edge of my top 10.
This was a day 1 purchase for me. Saw it in Dolby opening weekend and it’s my favorite Hollywood movie of this year easily. Saw it again at my local art house and then watched the 4K disc with the commentary. The special features were nice for a new release and I loved the picture/sound. 10/10 all around
I waited nearly a month for this film to be in stock again and it was well worth the wait. I was not able to see it in theaters and I did not want to watch it on a streaming service. I only watched one trailer for this film and went in completely blind. I was blown away by how great it was. Definitely one of my favorite films of the year and the 4k is gorgeous.
Loved this transfer and how he used all natural light even in the darkest scenes (using only the light from the fires, etc.). Just for fun I had to check out the stream on Peacock because I knew it would look like a hot mess. It didn’t disappoint (as in, it was as bad as expected) and proves once again why the disc needs to be the way you watch it! Another great review! Krueger and Myers approved!
Streaming is such trash. My wife was watching Twister the other day on Netflix. I only watched the first few minutes but the print was disgusting, strewn with near-constant dirt. My Blu of the film is somewhat dated but still drastically superior.
The only stuff I watch on Netflix is stuff that isn’t on disc. Why settle when I don’t have to? As for Twister, why that hasn’t come to 4K yet is a mystery I can’t figure out.
Hello from Oregon, we watched this at the theater and it was good. Can't wait to pick up the 4k edition and on my OLED. On a side note, watching the US Open there in Massachusetts. Thank you for the review.
Just watched this for the first time on a 4k disc. WOW! I think this is a true masterpiece and his best work. Beautiful cinematography and the way he represents Norse mythology is awesome.
Hey Jeff! New subscriber to the channel, love the videos and super helpful for me being a new collector. You’ve honestly become my favorite channel lately and you give a ton of great insight into the hobby so thanks so much ❤. Can’t wait for 100k 🎉!
I just bought it today in 4K. Streaming just doesn't hold a candle to the full quality of what a physical disc can provide. It should look amazing on my Sony 4K OLED.
@@nosuchthing8 There would be less quality, but it wouldn’t be as bad as streaming where it’s all crushed to hell. Besides, if you wait until Black Friday, this will be $15-$20.
It’s amazing that I started to collect physical media only recently and now when I stream anything I get pulled out of movie because I see blurriness especially in fast pace scenes. Lol I have awesome internet too. I used to be able to save money but now I’m obsessed.
I rented this movie on prime video when it came out. I honestly think the dark sense in this film looked pretty good even streaming it. But definitely looking forward getting the 4K disk!
Once again excellent review man. I had a great time watching this film in theaters so I can't wait to get my 4K copy too. I just want to ask you something, what are the TV settings that you use when you you're going to watch movies in Blu Ray and in 4K ? It would be very interesting if you made a video about that
Man, excellent review, thank you. I just got into blu rays and 4k blu rays a few months ago and my very first 4k disc purchase was The Revenant, a film tailor made for the 4k disc, very similar probably to The Northman, i.e. lots of great outdoor scenery with natural lighting, often times at night and dawn/dusk.
Same here, 1st 4K Blu-ray disc was The Revenant back in 2016! Although I’ve been collecting Blu-ray’s since 2012 and my 1st Blu-ray was Red Dawn lol. I started on 4K collecting a couple years ago😎🤙🏻
G'day Jeff I saw this movie in early May at the cinema and loved it..unfortunately this was not a box office success that it should of been and with a great cast..got it on 4k disc and wow the 4k transfer is brilliant with dolby vision and the dolby atmos sound is phenomenal..I recommend on buying this on 4k disc..great video jeff keep them coming mate...👍
Just ordered it with your link! Been waiting for your review. I knew as soon as I saw the trailer, it would look awful on streaming. Especially on my LED TV with crappy black levels.
I had that same problem with Obi-Wan Kenobi. the 6th episode where they had night scenes. I couldn't see anything. it was all washed out in black. I didn't know streaming can't handle night scenes?! I do remember hearing about the Game of Thrones episode.
I watched Dr. Strange on streaming yesterday. And it looked better than most of the 4k Blus I have. I was astonished by the picture quality, and having IMAX enhanced really helps. This is still not the case with a lot of streaming but it proves they can do it if they want to. And it proves it is coming.
Im glad you addressed streaming this on Peacock Jeff. I saw this in theaters and i did not get passed the opening moments when i decided to stream it. I turned it off. The soundtrack was full force and loud in theaters and in streaming, even on my atmos system it was weak! Will def be picking the 4k disk up!
So many people streamed that episode that they all complained that “nothing was on the screen, why was it filmed like this?” Well, it was on screen, but the stream just obliterated the detail. I just told someone else watching an epic show or an epic movie on a stream is like listening to Handel’s Messiah on a kazoo, because the quality loss is that staggering.
Saw this in the theater and really loved it. I got the 4K disc on release day, although I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I'm on vacation this coming week, and one of the plans is to catch up on some of the unwatched movies that have been piling up in my collection and this may very well be one of them.
I had no issue finding it locally. I picked it up at Target yesterday. This is absolutely phenomenal on 4K UltraHD. I had zero interest streaming it on Peacock. This is a demo disc. Enjoy it!
I feel like the effort some key individuals made to make a decision on film has actually worked, it's not feeling surprising anymore and is really nice to see there's some regularity now or is that me?
Love the new setup. Though I love snooping through your shelves during reviews, Michael and Freddy are better. If you don’t stay in that spot permanently, at least use it for horror movies. :)
I don't know why it says "Collectors Edition" I work in retail and I saw the words "Collectors Edition" on the Blu-Ray and the DVD. Same thing on Ambulance and The Bad Guys. I don't know why Universal are putting it on everything. Just a little fact I should put that it is not only on the 4k version. This seems to be a real Disney moment. Btw, saw The Northman twice in theaters, loved it, #3 film of 2022 in my opinion, and the disc is easily demo quality and in my top ten 4k Discs. The best 4k disc of the year other than Dune.
They’re just following Disney’s lead. A lot of Disney’s coasters had Ultimate Collector’s Edition on them too. To date I haven’t bought one of them. 🤣🤣🤣

That Freddy Krueger head is so realistic and creepy. It looks like he's staring me right in the eyes 😂
Yoooo for real. It kept pulling my vision to the eyes lol
LMAO I was like eww Michael your eyes, then I look over at Freddy and he's looking right into my damn soul!
I loved this movie in theaters, but can’t imagine streaming it on Peacock. 4K and Blu-ray are preferable these days for this kind of movie.

Watched this whole video waiting for Freddy to wink at me 🤣
I Noticed you mentioned that Eggers wanted it to be Longer......I wonder if we will get a Directors Cut down the Road that would be Cool.
Eggers Said there won’t be one, but you never know! We can at least hope, right?

What do you mean by Dolby enhanced? Are you referring to “Dolby Cinema at AMC” ?

Great job Jeff on this review! I already bought the 4k and I agree with you 100%

Freddy dogging us is unsettling 😰😂
Really in depth review!!
Haven’t seen it, but will definitely be picking it up soon.

While I don't plan on watching that movie anytime soon, I definitely agree watching a movie on a physical home release over streaming.
I just bought it today in 4K. Streaming just doesn't hold a candle to the full quality of what a physical disc can provide. It should look amazing on my Sony 4K OLED.
Streaming doesn’t even stack upto Blu-Ray in my experience. 4K is just overkill for destroying streams.
I like the new backdrop, it's new and different.
Yessss. Loved this movie and loved the 4k. Great review!
Totally got the 4k instead of streaming. Holy crap!!! It's amazing 💯💯

I missed this at the theater so I waited for the stream to know if I’d be interested in the 4K disk. I really liked it and will be picking it up soon.
Great review! I gotta pick this one up I loved the Vikings series on Netflix so this is a must buy for me!
Great video as always. You should check your sound levels in this one though, there's quite a bit of peaking.
Loved seeing this in a theater! Looking forward to watching it again on disc. FYI, Freddy staring at us is kinda creepy, lol.

Just ordered it with your link! Been waiting for your review. I knew as soon as I saw the trailer, it would look awful on streaming. Especially on my LED TV with crappy black levels.
So many great dark scenes in this movie. It's almost like the director made this movie specifically for OLED screens.
defo buying the disk the batman in 4k is another great one too
Got on pre order from HMV - Out on the 18th July here in the UK
Incredible film. So glad I gave it a viewing in the theater.

What about streaming on Apple TV on 4k or Dobly Vision? I find that the image quality that way is really good.
I was impressed with this in the theater, enjoyed the trippy parts you really have to go with it and keep Norse mythology in mind.

Peacock streaming also doesn't have closed captions, which this movie needs with some of the deep accents.
Nice set up. Happy Father’s Day

This is one I really want to see.
Gotta check it out 👍

Thanks for the review Jeff! Very interested in seeing this one. I wonder what the chances are of getting a Director's cut on blu-ray?
The director has stated that the theatrical cut IS the director's cut.
Freddy Krueger behind you looks like he’s thinking “Yeah…what he said!”
Lol I literally streamed this yesterday and your so right.
I want to see your Swashbuckling collection
Great video as always 👍 feedback: Freddie head staring right out was distracting
I have a question for you? Is it worth going into the 4k-uhd format with a 43-inch TV or a 50-inch TV with 30 titles in this format?
I feel like the effort some key individuals made to make a decision on film has actually worked, it's not feeling surprising anymore and is really nice to see there's some regularity now or is that me?
