It’s the same as the cap from earlier in the thread that prompted the comparison. I just grabbed that one, and then grabbed all the others from what I had here.

I’m not 100% whether that cap was made from the 4k, or the 2019 blu-ray. I sorta feel like anyone trying to cap anything from the 4k disc is entering into a crapshoot since UHD is, frankly, kind of a mess so far as actually seeing what anyone who shot the damn thing meant for you to see. Even good UHD transfers seem to be kind of “up in the air” as to whether they look like the movie was supposed to look.

It really does seem to me like the primary instinct behind UHD’s creation was to match TV makers’ notions of what makes TVs look good, and not to capture what filmmaker’s notions of what they want their films to look like.

Thanks for this. The 2019 cap definitely has more detail than the 2011 (individual drops of sweat can be seen between Luke’s eyes on the 2019 cap for example), so if this is the BD then it’s a definite improvement over 2011, though to me it still seems quite drab compared to 2011 - however I appreciate that caps don’t always give an accurate representation.
