A 4K UHD of the first Ghostbusters film arrived today.
My wife and I just finished watching it - our first choice as we both love the film. It's a big upgrade over the 4K mastered blu-ray version and (after I felt a bit disappointed with the upgrade of Blade Runner 2049) has re-affirmed my appreciation of this latest format.
I thought it looked pretty amazing. Obviously there's only so much you can do with the source material but there were huge improvements when watching in pure 2160p with hdr. The colours and visual effects look incredibly better (especially the library ghost and the proton pack streams).
It was nice to appreciate numerous improved moments. Examples are how Egon's headworn flashlight is genuinely blinding in hdr or noticing the improved colour and fuzziness detail of Venkman's jumper when Ray brings the car to the Ghostbusters HQ. In short, Ghostbusters 1 is a sizeable upgrade in 4K format.
Very happy with my purchase. Surely the best I've seen the film since being ten years old.
