Superman: The Movie” 40th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray Release

Whilst it's great they've given this classic film a new 4K transfer - direct from the original camera negatives - and UHD presentation (with the original 6-track 70mm soundtrack mix getting a new remaster specifically for this release), and even better it's just the definitive theatrical version and not the pointless 'Special Edition' from 2001, it would appear the accompanying 1080p Blu-ray in this set won't be from the same new 4K transfer... which is a dang shame!

But I'm not complaining... this is a very, very welcome development and kudos to Warners for doing it in the first place. Now hopefully they'll get around to Richard Lester's theatrical cut of Superman II and give that equal treatment... that's one film that would benefit from both a new high-resolution scan from the original camera negatives and a meticulous new remastering for UHD presentation; most transfers of that film in the past have made it look rather drab in comparison's to Donner's vibrant original, so a new hi-res transfer would not only be welcome, but frankly is necessary.

I await the upcoming reviews for the above new release with baited breath...



PARECE QUE EL BD SERA EL MISMO QUE TENEMOS
