Drive (4K UHD) [Blu-ray] [2022]

Product Information

On the road to Mulholland Drive – A 24 minute feature with Lynch talking about his approach to the film. That isn’t to say the film is without fault, of course. This is a 1997 production, complete with the kind of cheap sets and explosions you’d expect from the era, but the precision and weight of the action set it apart whenever you think artifice will fully take over. A drab motel room turns into a fully realized fighting area in one sequence, showing you the possibilities within that limited space. There are even a couple of fun and dated green screen shots where the villains look like they’re being devoured by the bad effects behind them. Seeing those in 4K was a distinct pleasure that I’m sure other people will enjoy.

The disc presents a 3840x2160/24p BT.2020 image in the film's theatrical aspect ratio of widescreen 2.39:1, and uses a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), High Dynamic Range and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec. War of the Worlds (1953) / When Worlds Collide (1951) Double Feature Limited Edition ( US/ UK) – 9/27/22 – REVIEW – N4K, DV So, what do I think Second Sight Films should do for future releases? I think 100 GB discs should be mandatory for all your future releases. Why? Because putting the extras on a 25 GB Blu-ray disc may actually be more expensive. If you used a single 100GB disc on Drive, for instance, you could have set the average bit-rate to 98 Mbps. That's about as high as the x265 encoder allows right now, and you'd have more than enough room to spare for extras, all on one disc. This would cover any potential low-bit-rate moments and any ability to resolve film grain in poorly lit scenes. All of the extras should obviously be optimized for a low bit-rate. 12 to 15 Mbps for all the extras is acceptable, you may even be able to go lower with some encoder optimization. I believe Dolby Atmos at 4 Mbps, even at 2 hours, is around 4GB. So, you'd have plenty of room left even for extras and to get the best quality encode possible. Sure, most movies are 2 hours long and now we have to go into 95 or even 90 Mbps transfers, but this is still more than perfect. Ultra-high reference transfers are possible, but a 66 GB disc will never allow it. You can't even set Drive to 90 Mbps on a 66GB disc. That's already 67 GB with no menus and no audio and no extras. I think you've done a great job on a 66GB disc, but it's not perfect. It could be better. I hope you're a company like Kino Lorber; they take criticism well and have changed the way they transfer their movies on 4K. They target 90 Mbps on pretty much all their discs, and they all look great. This is a very good release, and I recommend it, it's just not perfect. If Second Sight Films are open to discussion and changes I will be importing more movies from you. Thanks for listening.
