2019 is a huge movie year for me, Godzilla, Avengers and Rambo 5.


This is so close to being the ultimate year for my 13 year old self.

Godzilla, Rambo, Hulk

If only there was a good Indy movie coming out.

I would / Should put STAR WARS in there also.. But my god I cant believe how much TLJ killed all interest in all things SW for me.. I don't even care about the live action show. Only OT and RO have value to me and parts of the PT. I thought Solo suffered from repeat viewing on 4K :(
 

I found it to be a bit boring and lacked a true SW feel. Unlike RO which felt like SW, Solo was missing something. I hate the way it was filmed with its dark grey look.. I really think that effected the feel of the film.

I don't think its bad. I just did not enjoy it as much as I did the first time. I think I was just so happy that it was not TLJ and not the mess it should have been with all the drama surrounding it that I was pleasantly surprised. I mean I was on a SW low when I went to see it. Trailers did nothing for me and the taste of TLJ was still in mouth. Like I said before, it was the first SW film that I did not see on opening weekend since I have been able to take myself to movies. So it defied expectations.

But watching it again I really wish it had some more "real" space battles and not just the Kessel run which does not really count for me. I wish the action that was in it was a bit more exciting (and easier to see) and I really hate Lando's droid. I did love the Train heist though.

Perhaps when I watch it again as I probably enjoyed it a bit too much the first time and was bound for a let down with my 2nd viewing.

I actually feel the same way. Although I liked the movie, it just seemed like another sci-fi flick. This is the first SW movie that I did not buy for my home library and to be honest, I never even watched it again outside of the theatre. Back to Godzilla.

I was ready to write it off after seeing how dark it looked at home but simply changing one of my TV's brightness settings for that film alone worked wonders and allowed me to fully enjoy it again.

Its still dark and grey (mostly grey) Plus I hate having to change my settings because the cinematographer is an ***** :lol

If it just had a bit more SW feel I would be on board. I would have preferred a film all about his time in the Empire and meeting and saving Chewie. There was a better story to be told there.
 
I don't think it was the cinematographer, just a bad disc transfer for the home release. I've read multiple reports that the 4K is noticeably darker than the blu-ray included in the exact same set. Someone dropped the ball with the transfer. Its annoying, yes, but easily remedied IMO.

Except it was dark as hell in the theater also..

I find that most 4k films are a tad darker then their Blu ray counterpart.. And since I started getting 4k I have been paying more attention in theaters and find that theatrical presentations seem a bit darker then at home.. Which I can understand because if it was as bright as a TV you would go blind with the larger screen.. So I think that most films are a filmed a bit darker.... Not a pro here just a guess. Again if I put in any of my 4k and then compare with the Blu ray it is almost guranteed to be a bit darker and much more natural and warm.

But even Solo's Blu ray is pretty dark... Its just a film that seems like it was shot that way.
