Awesome to see a review of an older UHD of a classic film! I hope that Lawrence Of Arabia, The Wizard Of Oz, Singin' In The Rain, It's A Wonderful Life, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, and all the Hitchcock films released in UHD (including updated reviews of Rear Window, Psycho and Vertigo, for example, to account for all the new methodology of your reviews, now including WCG analyses and HDR heatmaps, and I also hope that a non-Hitchcock film like Casablanca gets an upgraded review) are coming soon!
It looks nice in terms of utilizing HDR but Alien seems to keep getting tweaked a bit with every release. The last blu ray was very teal in places and that seems to be brought down a bit. I think this tweaking started when the directors cut came out and on the quadrilogy box set. The first widescreen laserdisc has a very different look but apparently the element was not in good shape. I just wish the orange/teal filtering would stop. This film is like 95 % close to being a perfect restoration. At least the colour change was not as big as on Aliens and they brought that one back a bit on its 4k, too bad the master has been degrained/AI sharpened to hell and back. At least Alien isnt that bad :)
@@martinddhyj maybe a little bit but if you look closely at parts of the shuttle near the end. On the 4k disc, it looks like there has been a filter applied over it, like a wash. It doesn't look natural. If you look at the same scene on any of the laserdiscs and dvd's, it is not there. The first laserdisc is very different and some have thought that the print was a bit faded or its brightness was pushed too much. It looks more like a 70's era film. So if that's the case then the 95 laserdisc would have been the first to be altered.
I already watched it in 4K and it's one of the best looking 4K discs I ever saw... Even though sometimes it's a little bit too smoothened out and filtered but it still looks great
I did watch both 4K and Blu-Ray of Alien. There's some shots that look very marginal in places between the 4K image and the Blu. Even in this comparison, it's evident. I'm very conflicted between the two formats. I do find that the blu ray slightly edges in favour, but like I said, it's marginal between the two.
On dirait une version différente de celle analysée par le labo de Jay hier 🤔💭Je suis confus. Donc à priori celle ci est une version de 2019 anniversaire toute propre bien rescanée en vraie 4K avec un vrai HDR, alors que la version 2024 est une fraude artificielle faussement 4K ? Edit : d'accord donc en fait c'est tout simplement pas le même titre 😂 ? ça aide pas de montrer maintenant le premier épisode sorti en 4K 2019 alors que le deuxième épisode va tout juste sortir dans un mois en blu ray 4K qui lui est une fraude.
Mais je ne comprends pas. J'ai vu Alien le week-end du première 1980 à mon village et je crois que cette restauration 4k n'a pas la même tonalité ou contrat ou des autres qualités du film original. La tonalité du 4k est trop froid et ne transmette pas l'angoisse des couleurs des visages, du vestiaire et de l'environnement. Désolé.
Our approach has its limitations, which we acknowledge, but it benefits from a cautious methodology. We aim to provide illustrations of the various contributions in an isolated manner, focusing on key aspects such as definition, restoration efforts, Wide Color Gamut usage, and dynamic range contributions. This careful consideration allows us to better understand the impact of each factor while minimizing potential distortions that could arise from comparing SDR and HDR content on UA-cam (in HDR). Specifically, encapsulating SDR content (at 100 nits) from a Blu-ray disc (1080p) into the same HDR container (without inverse tone mapping) can lead to various distortions, preventing us from accurately isolating those variables. Furthermore, we seek to guard against the significant issues arising from poor tone mapping by UA-cam for viewers accessing HDR content on SDR screens, which still constitute the majority of users. This inconsistency completely undermines the comparative approach, making it impossible to obtain reliable insights into the respective nuances of the different masters. HD ? All our videos are available in 2160p.
I've owned this movie on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and now on 4K and goddamn, it's never looked as good as it does now.
See James Cameron? That's how you do it.
I know rite most people don’t understand.
One of the best film transfers to 4K ever.
Now THAT'S a 4K restoration, not some upsc-AI-led crap.
I don't agree. I think that AI upscaling is the future.
@@cavalierdecoupe You're wrong and clueless about FILM restoration.
@@cavalierdecoupe There is a place for AI upscaling. Film restoration is not it.
absolutely, an easy miss.
@@cavalierdecoupeAI upscaling looks like waxy garbage
I re-watched the 4K disc the other night (to go with the new 4K of Aliens), and yeah, this disc does look REALLY great!
yeah it is an outstanding upgrade to the 1st film. no ai, no need!
Just listen to that Jerry Goldsmith score frigging Awesome

5:10 suddenly i want some cereal with vanilla yogurt.
Une des plus belles restaurations ever

A slight teal and orange grading has always been part of “Alien“ and “Aliens“ (theatrical prints).

The Thing as well. no ai, no bs.
On aura beau dire quel génie ce Ridley Scott quel film !! quelle chef-d'œuvre de la science-fiction !!! et où de l'horreur pour certains!
Merci pour cette nouvelle version plus longue ! Vraiment intéressant et très agréable pour bien saisir les différences.
Continuer, ça vaut le coup
Une véritable restauration ! N’est-ce pas MM Disney et Cameron
Don't agree!
AI upscaling is the future
I will stick with the blu ray from the Anthology, which are re mastered put in a 4k player and it up scales perfectly no need to upgrade.

Is this the highest peak brightness 4k blu-ray off all time? The fire is over 1400 nits.
No one can compete with Godzilla ;)

Look at Starship Troopers.
Pile dans la shitstorm du remaster de Aliens. Pas mal 👍🏼
Kind like the way the blue ray looks

Une mise à jour du précèdent test ✌️👍👍
nobody watches movies that close where you see every grain. Bluray colors look better 4k looks washed out
Is this 4K version the one on Disney+?
You can’t stream to this quality
Oh boy, what a remake

On parle ici d'Alien (1979) de Ridley Scott et non d'Aliens, le retour (1986) de James Cameron ;)
ça explique tout 😱⌛📅🎞

Pointless comparing both formats in hd sdr.

Wow, this is pretty bad...
Lmao
What?
Too grainy for my taste. Please upscale old movies with AI!
🤢🤮
please seek medical attention
