Are there any fans of the movie Legend? if so can someone tell me what are the exact differences between the 3 cuts? I am tossing around an idea and I would love to know what the exact differences are between the 3 cuts, which are Director's, US Theatrical, and I am not sure what the other version is called lol, but I have it on my UK BD.

Thanks

 I have the UK and US discs but am yet to watch all three back to back but I think with the discs there is no need for a new one

Without a source print or negative to compare it with, the 4K does look like the best presentation overall.  The MGM BD was an upscale from a 720p source and the Criterion DVD was from an SD transfer with a more restricted color range.

 Are you sure about that?

And what is up with the x rated scenes?

For what it's worth, I did see a 35mm screening of this movie back in 2012. I looked at the MPEG2 BD for comparison, and it didn't look significantly different in terms of color timing. The only striking difference is that still frame shot near the end of the movie which looks very static on the BD. It looked less jarring on the print, presumably, because of the extra layer of grain.

 The MPEGII would make it look more static also

DCP video + laserdisc bit-perfect audio = interesting result... (^^,)

In particular because there are different languages laserdiscs - beside english, there are french, german, italian and spanish, all available at least for part 1.

 With the actual dcp file not this re-encode? If so then I agree

Are you able to play 2K JPEG2000 at 24 fps?

 I have the Elysium 4k trailer and a few 2k ones, so yus

So, DCP can now be ripped? That's good news for stuff like this, where the DCP is far better than an existing official release but bad news for the film-makers - it means there are probably going to be perfect 1080p or even 4K pirate encodes of perfect quality online as soon as the movies hit theaters and that's bad.

 I still doubt this has if they can be bigger newer films would be about I think this might have been unlocked 

 I want to sue you for the pain I felt trying to decrypt that sentence.

 One , away from working. I have a broken hand and typing is a mess

  I'm sorry, I've read this through three times and I still can't make any sense of it at all. Could you try to rephrase it?

 If a DCP's encryption can now be broken where are the 1080p rips of newer films like Jack Ryan or Wolf of Wall St on the net?

Its it more likely the BTTF DCP was not encrypted like most trailers

I know Criterion is often contractually obligated to use the video the studio provides them, but sheesh... sometimes you should just say no thanks and work on that Criterion Blu-ray of Cabin Boy instead.

I believe that it's Twilight Time that has to release what they get; Criterion tend to produce unique masters. The Thief color revision is (groan) an intentional Michael Mann choice, and was probably a prerequisite for his participation. It's annoying that this keeps happening.

 Nope, Criterion get what they are given.

See for example nearly all the Universal titles
