Info: Movies in UAR - screenshot comparisons

Author

 (Edited)

Because there is some interest in UAR projects, but many don’t know how they will look like, I thought to compile a list of screenshot comparisons, so everyone will be able to take a look!

More info on UAR here: Hybrid Vs UAR - a simple guide

Terminator 2 - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133449
test version! I’m still not happy with the color matching in some scenes, so I won’t work on it until I’ll be able to find out a letterbox (even in standard definition) which uses the same master of the fullscreen DVD.

The Arrival (1996) - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133547
this is mostly a fullscreen version with added “slices” on both sides; if there is some interest, I’m ready to turn it in an hybrid fullscreen version instead.

Silent Hill - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133548
HD-DVD Vs UAR dual source

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/129931
BD Vs UAR triple source

Jurassic Park III - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=132359
as other UAR dual sources, this has many shots in fullscreen with “slices” added on both sides, but in many others the contrary is true, where open matte has more image on top and/or bottom.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/129953
BD Vs UAR dual source - maybe it will end up using three

Resident Evil: Afterlife - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133550
OAR Vs UAR dual source - only few scenes are actually really in open matte (and subsequentially in UAR); of course, the French text is not present in the final version!

Resident Evil - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=131166
moviefingerprint - BD Vs UAR dual source

Terminator 3 - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=133261
moviefingerprint - HDTV Vs UAR dual source

The Dark Tower - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133255
moviefingerprint - open matte has logo which is visible in few shots; solutions could be to wait for another open matte version without logo (or with it in another place), or use the plain BD, or crop the top of the image, or try an impaint and see if could work (it probably will in a couple of shots IMHO).

Creep (2004)

The Matrix

And, to be in line with the motto “UAR: because every single pixel counts!™”:

Alien: Resurrection - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133426
not only more image on top and bottom, in comparison to blu-ray, but also on both sides!!!

Deep Rising - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/133351
this will be mostly an hybrid version, but it’s interesting to note that, even in full open matte shots (almost all), the UAR has more image on top thanks to blu-ray!

Alien 3 - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=132920
incredibly, it’s possible to add some (few) parts of an image even on anamorphic films!

Note: at the moment, none of these has been released!

Sadly my projects are lost due to an HDD crash… 😦 | [Fundamental Collection] thread | blog.spoRv.com | fan preservation forum: fanres.com

Hi Andrea,
These are pretty cool! In fact, The Matrix actually looks a bit claustrophobic without UAR applied. Keep up the great work. 😃
