I'd pay $30 right now to see Tenet in 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos via streaming.
- Hnaomyiph 6y agoStreaming such a high fidelity movie seems like a waste. Seeing the difference between a UHD 4K Blu-ray and a stream of the “same quality” it’s almost night and day.
- pier25 6y agoI do have most Nolan films in 4K Bluray but Tenet isn't available yet. Before buying the physical media I'd be more than happy to see it via streaming with acceptable quality.
- entropicdrifter 6y agoOn the other hand, if the cost of streaming it as a rental is as high as the physical media copy...
- pier25 6y agoTotally. But as a Nolan fanboy I really want to see Tenet and wouldn't mind paying extra to see it before the physical release.
- moritonal 6y agoId actually recommend watching it at home. Without subtitles that film is difficult to watch in a cinema.
- rhino369 6y agoOr if you have 3.1 (or better) stereo set up, you could probably just turn the center channel higher relative to the rest to increase dialog (which is usually on the center channel).
- pier25 6y agoWould be great if HT receivers had a mode to do that without having to manually increase and decrease the C channel.
- qppo 6y agoIf you can afford a comparable display and sound system to a Dolby certified cinema then $30 means a lot less to you than the typical viewer
- mlrtime 6y agoIf you can't afford $30 then what is wrong with waiting until you can?
- notriddle 6y agoIf you can't afford $30, then you never will.
- qppo 6y agoNothing! But the point I'm making is that Dolby Cinema isn't appreciable for most consumers' home theaters and that price point might be a bit different for someone who has a home theater with the capabilities and has spent the time/money calibrating it.
- pier25 6y agoYou don't need super high end gear to appreciate Dolby Vision. LG OLED displays are not that expensive these days.
- qppo 6y agoI think they are that expensive. The cheapest OLEDs are around $1500, which is a lot of money for a lot of people.
- xnyan 6y agoLets say you need an income of at least ~$30k to reasonably afford a $1000-2000 TV. I would argue that is a little low to afford a TV of that price, but at 30k that would be around a month's take-home pay. Doable I guess. That's a tiny fraction of world population than can even possibly buy that TV, and only a fraction of those that can will. Even in rich countries, a large number of households wont have it. Dropping a grand+ on a TV would be considered a high-end luxury to the vast majority of the world's population.
