In short: Garbage

so arrived it today and just gave a quick spin. never had paramount release but i must say i hate this transfer. true that caps can be misleading but in motion the “management” is way beyond my tolerance threshold.

grain is glued/frozen most of the time and spotted very waxed-look shots from time to time. colors are good but those can’t save the other aspects IMO.

No go for me and that’s a real shame what paramount did with one of the greatest italian movie of all time.

as for the technical: BD-100 with DV and a very healthy bitrate (always around 60/70), encoding appears to be very good; movie’s duration is 165m49s and opening and closing credits are in english. no doubts many will like it but i really don’t. or maybe i’ll just have to wait to cool it down and give it another try.

but for now the sentiment is to give it back.

Eagle:
Regarding the 4K release, we’ll use the same master but we’re trying to do our best to make some improvements, wherever possible. for sure it’ll be a BD-100. could be released this autumn.

Review of UHD - May 8, 2023
PICTURE | The 4K HDR release of the revered Leone epic looks gorgeous but is a little too clean, removing the necessary grit, resulting in a look that’s untrue to the original film

SOUND | Crisp and clean while staying true to the soundtrack—but, once again, where’s the original mono mix?

MoMA Screens Animation in Jan.

The Dave Fleischer-directed Popeye cartoons have been recently restored by the museum with funding from the Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Fund.

The lineup will feature
Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor (1936)
Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba’s Forty Thieves (1937)
Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (1939)

THUNDERBEAN BD 2020
Popeye Meets Sindbad. It’s from a lovely (and well-loved) 35mm Nitrate/ IB Technicolor print.
& Ali Baba’s Forty Thieves.

THUNDERBEAN DVD 2005
Including all three of the extra-length color “specials”

Each of these cartoons have been digitally remastered from original 35mm material and digitally restored to their original brilliance.

…and the color grading of BOTH is completely different to the original 35mm…
so save your money and forget the mess cause this is precisely one of the cases
where te DVD and the LD received altered transfers (some say the producers wanted it that way for the DVD)

Stereo Remix from the early-90s
I’m curious what they’ll do about the audio mix.
I’ve caught a print of this once and it was a stereo remix from the early-90s that sounded too good, if that makes sense. I appreciate good audio, but it’s distracting to see older pre-Dolby films futzed like this.

Incredibly Grainy 😃
Once Upon a Time in the West, like many of Leone’s westerns, was shot in 2-perf Techniscope. This is inherently an incredibly grainy format that looks really bad for home video – a postage-stamp-sized frame roughly the same height as 16mm. It looked even worse in the theater, because of the optical blow-ups and anamorphic conversion involved. It’s never gonna be super-sharp, because the frame size is so small, plus it’s a 45-year-old movie.

Once Upon Time In The West had a showing on French television a few weeks ago in a gorgeous HD print with the best colour I’ve seen, far superior to the Blu Ray release we currently have available.

I read the so called “new” release is the same as the last one so maybe French tv got theirs from another source. Certainly better from the colour pov and of course it was the full length French release.

Saw it in October in a cinema in Toulouse, great to see again on a huge screen, and the print was the same as the Blu Ray, so in many ways the tv broadcast was a revelation!

Currently watching the broadcast on French television , the best transfer I’ve seen, sharp focus, gorgeous colour palette, rich and varied. A real treat.

I watched it on GRIT TV yesterday, and the color was amazing.

Is the film clean without ‘bits of things’?

The 6-track presentations, where known, are identified in the listing below with an asterisk.
