Nice. I haven't seen any 4k movies at a Costco yet. Though I only do Hunt Club in Ottawa normally.

The Bourne Identity has a really bad transfer. Other two were rated higher.
It doesn't require a careful comparison to The Bourne Identity's 1080p Blu-ray counterpart (included here on disc two and simply a repress of the original disc, VC-1 encode and all; that goes for all of the four legacy Bourne films jumping to the UHD format) to notice that something's off about the movie's UHD transfer. It's insanely dreary, dull, and flat. Grain is thinned out, details are pasty, edge enhancement is obvious in places...it's hardly what anyone would reasonably expect of an A-list movie, shot on film, and released to the UHD format from a major studio, particularly when it's banking on a tie-in to a new movie's's release. Really, it's just ugly. But doing due diligence (after plenty of head-scratching but, thankfully, no retching) and comparing this UHD to the original Blu-ray does show just how radically different it looks, so much so it's almost like watching an entirely different movie. Usually, at the most basic, HDR coloring subtly enhances the palette, allowing for improved saturation and nuance. Here, the movie is practically wiped of color. It's heavily pushed towards a tired gray, with all but the most basic color washed right out. There's no vibrancy of any sort, no pop or punch. Detailing might be improved by a smidgen with the boost in resolution. Clothes look -- arguably -- a hair more refined and organic, a tad more complex on the surface, but that's about it. Faces, environments, nothing, really, appears appreciably more natural or nuanced. It's clear that Universal hasn't done anything but slap an old, dated transfer onto the UHD disc and randomly dialed up some change in contrast and called it a day. Shame.

For people who are interested, a lot of 4K UHD movies are not true, 'real 4K', here's a site that tells you which ones are: http://realorfake4k.com/my-product/the- ... ollection/

For this posting, only the bad, Jason Bourne (2016) is 'Real 4K' not that I would have noticed any difference from 'fake 4k' to 'real 4k' but it's interesting to know.

They only had Ultimatum at the Richmond store, had to scoop one up for $13 while shopping. There were still a handful of copies left.

All the Bourne movies in 4K are $12.79 at Amazon.ca right now.

Enjoyed them, but not enough to double dip since I have the blu rays.

Haha, I think we posted at the same time. What are the chances of that on an old thread? :)

I do the same with Indiana Jones.

Honestly I found that the Jeremy Renner Film was better than "Jason Bourne", they really missed the mark on the last one.

I actually had a bunch of them in my Amazon cart and just happened to check and notice all the price drops there, hahaha. I will have to look unto blu-ray.com's price changes! Thanks!
