Inglourious Basterds [DVD] [2009]

This was to me a good movie when I saw it the first time, but not the best from this director. However this presentation brings it out in all of it's glory. One Utuber said the picture was "dark". He was reviewing it with an LCD TV, and this movie will bring out the flaws in any cheap Tv. Watching on my OLED77," I was reminded as to why I bought this set. The picture is a bit dark, but full of detail, deep rich colors. Killer soundtrack. A blond, barefoot in a red dress, looking out of a six ft tall round window, surrounded by black with sunshine outside, and the voice of David Bowie kicks in, singing the theme from Cat People. Amazing. As is the scene where a movie is projected onto a cloud of smoke created by a burning third Reich. Amazing. Say what you want about Tarentino, he is quite a director. And this is quite a movie. Brad Pitt is at his best. A complete justification of the 4k format.

This movie well always be enjoyable no matter what. This will always be a classic film. And the Steelbook artwork is awesome. Love this Steelbook and I love watching this on 4k.

An excellent film by the Tarantine master that was already needed in 4K and is a beautiful steelbook

Only Quintin Tarantino could have directed this one. Perhaps his second best film (slightly behind Pulp Fiction). Great cast (Pitt) and a great way to end WW2. Lots of great scenes and funny moments.

Inglourious Bastrds is a riveting battlefield journey with a type of Special troops to get in and out for victory and payback

great action and story, Mr. Q . T. is absolutely Genius, a must own !

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious is one of those films that got better with each viewing. Not enough to call it my favorite of his catalog, but enough to say I really enjoy it now and look forward to revisiting it. Now that Universal Studios is giving Inglourious a promotion to 4K, it’s a good reason to revisit it! Now, the only thing this set has to offer is a greatly enhanced viewing experience. The 1080p Blu-ray was reference quality in its day, but I found this new 2160p HDR10 and HDR10+ presentation to be simply beautiful - and well worth the upgrade for. However, I can see folks hoping for a more aggressive object-based audio mix and/or a new selection of bonus features being a bit deflated with this release. To that point, I’ll simply argue that the price point to upgrade for image quality only isn’t too severe. And if you've never owned this film, well that just makes the decision a little easier. I’m safely calling this one Highly Recommended.

I'd read a lot of professional reviews saying the video quality wasn't anything incredible. I hadn't previously seen the Blu Ray release of the movie, so I cannot speak to how much of an improvement this 4K release presents, but going in blind, it looked really good to me. Not a showcase film for HDR, but all in all, this was a really event presentation and I enjoyed the audio track as well. For the sale price I got it at, it was a no brainer.
