InterStellar 4K UltraHD [Blu-ray]

Product Information

of Interstellar is being distributed by Warner, and, in a special licensing arrangement, it is also That's a whole lotta movie," gasped my wife after her first viewing of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Inside Interstellar– The rest of the segments are all found housed under this umbrella. Totaling just over two hours, these 14 featureless explain pretty much all you’d need to know about the film. Here’s what to expect from each: The Science of Interstellar– This 50 minute documentary is narrated by McConaughey (much more understandable here than in a majority of the film, I might add) and takes us through a lot of the literal science that’s included in the film. Together with Physicist Kip Thorne who also served as the film’s Executive Producer, we learn some of the logistics in the film, the creative licenses (not) taken and get a crash course in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

This three disc set contains two of the discs, each containing a movie (the Ultra HD on one and the Blu-ray on the other). The special features are all found on the third disc. On the selfish but practical side, it's because I have an nVidia GTX 1080 GPU I would use for HTPC viewing to my 4K screen. With this set-up, madVR visibly gives me the best upscaling image quality bar none currently. Since many enthusiasts use madVR routinely, I might as well demonstrate what the image from a 1080P Blu-Ray could look like with a high quality algorithm than something known to be of lower potential. From what I've seen with madVR, it's very good but I'm not seeing the kind of qualitative enhancement in that linked article!All these changes (price, power draw, size, lower noise, reliability) are the benefits of product maturity. And for us digital / computer audiophiles, it is wonderful to partake in these benefits as computing becomes faster, storage becomes more voluminous, and better accessibility with inexorably lower cost. In the near future the Earth is suffering from a drought. The “Dust Bowl” that happened in the mid west in the 1930’s has become a worldwide problem. Crops are drying up and huge dust storms are commonplace. Farmer/Engineer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his family aren’t immune to the climate changes, either. However, it so happens that they discover some sort of code that leads Cooper to the headquarters of NASA. He’s informed that they’re sending a shuttle into space to try and solve the drought on Earth. Cooper, along with a skeleton crew, head off into the bowels of space and head for a wormhole that will allow them to travel beyond our solar system. The odds of survival are slim. Will Cooper and his crew be able to navigate the dangers of space and save the Earth or are they doomed?

Shooting in Iceland: Miller’s Planet/Mann’s Planet– The two planets in the film share a common Earth-Bound country in Iceland. The shallow lake that was used as well as the barren glacier that was perfect for both locales. Note: The original version of this review incorrectly stated that this UHD was derived from the camera negative. That assertion wasPlotting an Interstellar Journey– The filmmakers and some members of the cast look at the project ahead of them. How it will be filmed, some of the IMAX footage within as well as some of the logistics of the project as a whole. As for workstation purposes, the 1050 is inexpensive and remarkably power efficient! As a half-length card, it's completely powered off the PCI-E slots, there's no need for extra 6/8-pin connectors to the power supply. It's also got a TDP less than 1/2 of the old Radeon which is great for a machine that's essentially on 24/7. I don't need much 3D processing since I'm not going to be playing games on it. This also translates to a single very quiet fan which reduces the ambient noise of the computer (which over the years has gradually been getting quieter with better speed). Nolan's ambitious sci-fi epic goes on the lofty quest for life through the Ultra HD universe with a superb, often stunning HEVC H.265 encode, surpassing the Blu-ray by light-years, though some mild turbulence keeps it shy of a perfect flight. The Dust: Learn how cast and crew avoided sand blindness, and see how to create, and clean up after, a catastrophic dust storm. Digital Copy of the Film: An insert contains a code to redeem an HD digital copy of the film on UltraViolet retail partner Vudu.

Celestial Landmarks: Explore how the filmmakers used practical special effects informed by real scientific equations to give the illusion of real space travel for both the actors and the audience. that Warner is issuing worldwide. In the domestic U.S. market, the disc is separately available from Paramount.It's the story of a farmer who thinks that space is cool. So he decides to take off in a spaceship with two friends and a one girl (which seems very promising). Together they’re going to visit cool planets recommended by tourist guides. They hope to have a lot of fun.
