​Descent into madness...mix of the bleakness of Midnight Cowboy and Taxi Driver.
The transfer is superb, the sound is superb...all 4k should be like this. :tup:

Joker a disturbing movie but brilliant and deserving of the awards.
Staying in the dark


I did not buy Batman Begins in 4k so streaming it...have the other two in the trilogy in 4k and of course the the Dark Knight in 4k got kicked out as incompatible. :mad:

Great cast in Batman Begins. The steaming io Netflix is pretty good even in near field.

Christian Bale is always top drawer for me and love to see Michael Caine. What an incredible cast/

Katie Holmes is light weight actor but very cute.

That looks good.
...

Well I found the Batman Dark Knight third one a bit of a hot mess and it looked like a budget trim. There was a feel of getting back to roots as an action comic tho with the punchups but also awfully disjointed
Had its moments, Anne Hathaway was very good in it and introducing Robin clever.
Michael Caine finally bows out - what a run he had

Freeman seems never to age.

This is a fair review - not up to The Dark Knight
https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the- ... rises-2012
The 4k was flawless except for one long freeze that resolved itself. The transfer was superb…it will be one I try when I get the replacement player.
Even nearfield it was smooth ….maybe it came via iMax transfer

No CG…that’s impressive

Interesting combination of Federer raining destruction and rock playing as I watch

I still maintain Federer is the GOAT.

In one year Trump has halved America's wealth potential with his economically suicidal trade war. Without a Cromwell, America is gonna be to use British vernacular 'broke' and kicked into the gutter of history :nono:

Sort of makes sense. No point arguing with stupid people as they say...certainly don't want them piloting a plane or anything like that though

Gorgeous transfer


What a fantastic job they did on the eagles.
Trying to binge the whole trilogy.

The quality is just breathtaking. I'd forgotten some of the story....joys of being old.
