Licensing.. Netflix can't stream what or where they don't have jurisdictions to stream.. Just cuz they can, doesn't mean they will.

Doesn't matter if rare or not. See above and reread my earlier posts. I didn't comment anything wrongly...

HDR is independent of resolution. I even explained why some 1080p titles carry HDR and why most tv manufacturers decided against making 1080p HDR equipped TVs. 4K was the thing.. Play along or get forgotten.

Yes, I'm not yet using. Doesn't mean I don't have access to a few and or possess knowledge of how UHD, native 4K, media formats, bitrates, steaming platforms, etc works.. I do..  nod.gif

Lastly, I've been a Netflix sub for at least 7 years.. Subs like me are referred to as "grandfathers".. Long before they launched here in Malaysia. Trust me, I know how they've been, watched them grow and each month, money is thrown at them.. FYI, there are 1080p HDR displays..notably monitors.. Similarly for 2K monitors.. Also most UHD TV displays out there aren't even capable of displaying at Native 4K res. As for why I haven't jumped on the 4K/UHD HDR10 and or Dolby Vision bandwagon yet? Well, you read my other post.. Suffice to say, I own an excellent 1080p TV and see no reason to prematurely jump in while kinks are still being ironed out. Buyer's remorse is real and after being and early adopter the last time..  sweat.gif  Come to think of it, despite Netflix's greatness, that Netflix's HDR is still heavily compressed. So sometimes you aren't even getting the good stuff. Don't believe? Grab a 4K HDR copy of any title and compare.
I agree..I'm moving on..

Just cuz they can, doesn't mean they will - now your statement is correct, previously you mentioned "its usually because the 4K stream can't be delivered at the time" this is wrong as it is they want or don't want not they can or cannot.

Also most UHD TV displays out there aren't even capable of displaying at Native 4K res. Most? maybe you only look for unknown brand or you had at least 2 years never check new model in market.

HDR is independent of resolution - Why you keep mentioned this? I know this, it is not only you know what is HDR. HDR is in still image photography dunno how many decade, I won't said I know it how many decade but at least I know it 20 years or more, I know it had nothing to do with resolution nor-matter it is still image or moving object video.

there are 1080p HDR displays..notably monitors.. Similarly for 2K monitors - I know this also, I am very particular on display, I don't throw money choose the most expensive, the best, but I won't choose the worst either. I choose in between and I everyday check IT site, Mobile site and etc, beside this IT is my boring routing job every working day.

I've been a Netflix sub for at least 7 years.. Subs like me are referred to as "grandfathers" - Yup you are but you also is the one is dated because you already considering stop at 4K HDR era. You still circle in your damn good 1080p era. You not move forward but you are stopped. Your this statement sound like I eat more salt than you, I know more than you. In fact this never is the case if the person never continue improving but stopping there.

Netflix's HDR is still heavily compressed. So sometimes you aren't even getting the good stuff. Don't believe? Grab a 4K HDR copy of any title and compare - I got around 250 titles in 4K HDR and a lot of them is remux copy of 4K UHD blu-ray, beside this I also got some physical 4K UHD Blu-ray. I also got more than 300 titles of physical Blu-ray, thus I always compare what 4K HDR beneficial on those old title.

On streaming site, beside Netflix, I got more than 150 titles of iTunes movies. This further my comparison among each.

I know pretty well how the quality of Streaming 4K HDR v/s actual 4K UHD blu-ray. Streaming quality is not that bad and I assure a lot cannot tell the differences. Recently Netflix seems reduce the compression as I notice it looks better than last time on same title I play before. Netflix 4K HDR is not the best but it is still in a very acceptable level to enjoy.


This is my last statement for this topic because it is way out from original topic of what movie you watch today. I only said why Netflix don't release it as 4K HDR because I prefer it is, you can make this became huge topic, sorry I am sticking back to actual topic now.

Just finish watch See You Yesterday.

This probably the worst movie I ever watch in Netflix. 1 Star.
The 1 Star for special guest - Michael J. Fox

Bad Acting, Bad Special Effect, Bad Idea, Bad Material Design, that bag is time machine?! It looks more like a Ghostbusters gun to me... Bad Story line and also bad ending.

there is a currently dearth of new good movies.

or maybe too many american superheroes trash.

here's a diff one... probably the first Columbian movie i watched.

while not a global blockbuster or anything like that, birds of passage is a powerful drugs-crime saga.

if u like the godfather, narcos and remember escobar, medellin/cali cartels, this movie is for you.

while not explicitly violent, it has plenty of "implied" violence, and an interesting mix of ancient tribal southern american traditions.

3/5.

it is heartening to watch a movie like that!
i thought the 2 women fighters were good, - veronica ngo and tran thanh hoa - hope to see them more in future.

while china and south korean movies have dominated this genre for decades, we sometimes get good stuff from thailand, indonesia and vietnam.
tony jaa has moved on since his ongbak days, now appearing more with hollywood films and most recently in IP Man Legacy.
indonesia has iko uwais, julie estelle, and joe taslim - a good fighter in current hbo series warrior, a story dedicated to the late bruce lee.
ok, malaysia... we have michelle yeoh! biggrin.gif

now, here is one 2014 indonesian martial arts movie - not sure if u can still find it easily, but i remember it was pretty good:

The Golden Cane Warrior

If you all liked Furie, I think SPL 2 and SPL 3 would be quite nice too. Similar concept with fight scenes too. Tony Jaa, Wu Jing, Louis Koo.

captain marvel...  thumbup.gif

this 2 hr movie lives up to expectations.

whatever said in blogs about brie larson, i say she did a fine job, as good as, if not better than most other "superheroes".

story is reasonable, plenty of action, specials effects are great.

and... test yr home theater, esp yr subwoofer with it (dd, dd+, ddtruehd, ddatmos), esp min 107-111. tongue.gif

marvel really seems to know how to make movies, tie it up altogether and sell their movies!

i was pleased to see familiar faces besides larson (kong skull island) - samuel jackson, jude law, annette benning, djimon honsou, gemma chan.

at the end, it showed captain america, black widow and hulk... to tie it all up to... yes, u guessed it... to avengers end game!!

of special interest is this... tesseract, cube, allspark (in transformers)... is it the same thing?!!
https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Tesseract

$400mil to make, grossed $1.1bil, #22 all time box office. 4/5.
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/

and question for u... captain marvel is almost "superman+iron man+iron fist"... can she beat x-men's jean grey (coming next month in dark phoenix)?!! laugh.gif

So coincident I also just finish watching Captain Marvel, I miss it at cinema when it is showing.
This movie is well done and one of my favorite Marvel Superheroes film. 5 Star.

It is enjoyable and the special effect is awesome to look to, with spectacular sound effect.

I found she is like combination of Superman + Iron Man + Hulk + dark phoenix +++, simply just too powerful already.
AVFAN With all the combination, I find she definitely can beat Jean Grey Dark Phoenix. biggrin.gif tongue.gif

The Avengers End Game just simply reduce her ability, she is very capable to take down everything!

The background and creatures is combination of Green Lantern, Star Trek, Star wars, Top Gun and even Men in Black, and off course great they are joining with The Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D

I finally found it, hope it is a watchable quality as it is only 1.63 GB and not sure it is H264 or H265, if H265 then it is pretty ok, if H264 then that size will be a bit too small for outstanding quality, the site is slow for free user, only can complete after 1 hour 34 minutes.

Appreciate for recommended this, I watch the trailer it seems nice. smile.gif

This is a very well done movie, from the very beautiful scenery, great cinematography, to awesome fighting scenes, to awesome actor/actress and Christine Hakim is my favor actress and good storyline even though I don't like this kind of story but it is very often this is the story like for kungfu film. Thanks for recommendation. 4 Star.

Thanks for highlight this film. I already forgotten this madness trilogy.

Anyway I think the most unbelievable film I ever watch is "A Serbian Film". "Salo", and also all the film direct by Alejandro Jodorowsky, for example El Topo, The Holy Mountain, The Dance of Reality, Endless Poetry and etc.

The rest was very nothing.

2 netflix movies for you to think and question about... biggrin.gif

I Am Mother is a scifi post apocalyptic movie. in the whole movie, u see only 2 humans, 1 main android and a bunch of other androids.
although there is little action, the suspense and mystery keeps u going... right until the end. 3/5.
when u r thu with this movie, think about the question, "who was "mother"?!
answer is here (spoiler):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvftAanJHd8

svaha: the 6th finger is a south korean supernatural-horror-crime movie.
as a movie, it is a suspenseful, creepy thriller.
it has strong elements of religiosity, not unlike the exorcist or se7en.
i follow much of the story but not sure what the ending really meant... maybe it is meant to be subject to interpretation. 3/5.

I also finish both.

I Am Mother - Well done. That YouTube also well explain but they is still one question mark. What happen to the origin at the end... ... I give 4 Star.

As for Svaha... I totally can't remember the end. I watch with my family and none of us remember the ending on why why why. Haha! It is some how quite boring also. 2 Star for me for the mystery and atmosphere.

It get cancelled by ABC after season 2 but pick-up by Netflix, rating still pretty good.

Normally show save by Netflix is pretty well done later.

Not an issue even it though it get cancelled by others studio.

Us - Awesome idea, origin story line but it some sort missing the horror scary moment and kind of predictable, this is what I feel nearly the entire film.

That is the last moment change my rating and the last moment save it. 4 Star!

I start to love Jordan Peele, he is such a talented Director & Writer!
