Video Notes:

Though note its different color grading from the IP-sourced but poorly compressed Fun City Editions US Blu-ray (caps)

Audio Notes:

Judging from spectrograms at https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=23933756&postcount=57, Fun City Editions US Blu-ray appears to have marginally less filtering than Radiance 4K Blu-ray (whose padded 16-bit depth is a non-issue). There are also loudness differences, though it's unclear whether dynamic range also differs. Caveat: need to A/B both tracks to confirm, but no one has posted actual A/B impressions.

Video Notes:

> Kino Lorber caps. Capelight has better encoding than the Kino.

Recommended upgrade for viewers who aren't DV compatible due to Capelight properly encoding the HDR10 base layer instead of Kino, who require a huge DV layer to "fill in" picture information from a more compressed / compromised

Video Notes:

From Fus1on

while the encoding is mostly fine, there are some pretty bad compression issues, especially in brighter areas of the image. In the other thread, users have done comparisons between the 4K Blu-ray and the Streaming version, and actually found that the Streaming release has less macroblocking in these specific sections. Overall video quality is mostly solid, with not much of a detail increase from previous BDs. HDR looks great. The Atmos track this film comes with is also good, but it's not a huge upgrade compared to the 5.1 mix from past release
