This "4K" is a disrespectful insult...

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am fixing to be brutally honest, so here it comes......

As much love and respect the world had for this film back in the day it truthfully surprises me that such a shocking "4K" release was grotesquely whipped up and marketed at absolutely the lowest possible factors.

I have a Sony 4K TV, a Dolby Atmos system and a Samsung UHD player...for the most part every 4K that I have purchased I've been pleased with or blown away by; this "Ghostbusters 4K" is a disgusting example of bleeding money from people by taking advantage of a new thing. What do I mean, I mean slapping 4K on something that obviously is NOT!!!

Ugly UGLY grainy image, colors that run so bad it literally looks smeared, a very bizarre array of flashing in some sequences, I have seen videotape that is superior to this...just horrible...point blank...HORRIBLE!!!

I really don't know why people are saying that the 4K presentation is good...it isn't. This is a word of warning, this is a sickening ripoff!!!

To make excuses for it like it being an "old movie", that's completely silly, there is plenty of old releases on 4K that are choice gems, it simply boils down to how much effort is put into the work. For example, Night Of The Living Dead is a much older movie presented in black and white, the Criterion Collection made a phenomenal 4K release from that tiny film, it's actually one of the best 4K releases I have seen yet, age has nothing to do with it.

Instead of sending back the 4K disc I decided to do a comparison and purchased the regular Bluray release, the result...the Bluray is top notch, I have no complaints. In fact I would strongly recommend purchasing the one that I bought which contains both first and second films along with a collector's book. It has a "no ghost" sign on the front with the ghost holding out both hands, one hand he's holding up one finger and the other he's holding up two fingers.

The Bluray rocks, buy that set and you'll be very happy, if you buy this 4K you will not be.

Steer clear of this one, it is not what it says it is, it is a scam, I'm not sure why but it's strictly a false money grab. If you love the films then buy the Bluray. Heads up. This is a warning.

Thank God the Bluray exists. Thank God.

Classic for Halloween, maybe a little rough for under 12 yo.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

Classic, ghostly-but-not-grisly comedy. A little rough for under 12 or 13 years: "We had everything under control until d**kless here shut off the power". Mayor: "Is this true?" Bill Murry's character, "Yes Your Honor, it's true, this man has no d**k" Well, it's not the most offensive joke I've ever heard.... A bit more racy is when a possessed Sigorney Weaver wants Doctor Venkman "inside her" and he says, "No, it sounds like its a little crowded in there already" and something about a policy of never sleeping with the possessed.... There is a quick dream sequence where a ghost undoes one of the ghostbusters pants, showing underwear. The rest of it is medium scary to very mild and even lighthearted. You may not have seen it in a while so I hope this helps. It's worth watching again and deciding for yourself if it's appropriate for your kids..

Great Movie, 4K, ahhh

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Ghostbusters is an all time classic, my review only pertains to the 4K version. I have a Samsung UHD 60 inch TV, a Samsung 4K player, not the one that just up converts, but the actual 4K player, full 7.1/7.2 surround sound. I wasn't sure how much of a difference they could make from this old movie to bring it up to 4K specs so I thought I'd give it a shot. Well, it's still a great movie, Didn't really see enough of a change to warrant the extra expense for the 4K version though. It's a little sharper, but that's about it.

This is the real Ghostbusters

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

What do you need to make a truly exceptional comedic film? First you need comedians who have matured and honed their skills to a fine edge, which allows them to teeter right on the edge of absurdity without falling over into absolute stupidity. Second, you need a script that is designed to capture the imagination of even those who often find comedy boring and distasteful. And third, you need a setting that is actually a star in its own right, that has become an icon known throughout the civilized world. Well, this film has all three. The teaming of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis is any comedy fan's dream come true. The script, which casts the trio as a bunch of disgraced college professors that start a poltergeist elimination business, is quirky enough that even those who usually disdain comedy will be intrigued. And the setting, with most of the movie actually being filmed at sites around New York City, brings a sense of romance and grandeur to the whole thing. Forget about any remakes. If you want the real Ghostbusters, this is the one to watch.

Could Hold Up Better - But Prescient in Many Ways

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ghostbusters is a cultural icon. So much so that I hate to drag it even a little bit. The special effects are 80s-licious. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis are always funny. Dan Aykroyd is almost always funny. Annie Potts is freaking hysterical. So what's not to like?

Well, for me it's the Zuul/Gozer. Especially since GB2 made it clear that the demons' consummation of their desire for each other had major consequences for Dana. I get that I'm not just dragging but also BEING a drag, but so so much western humor - right up until very recently - lives in the routine violation of female bodies. And once you start to see it and become uncomfortable with it, it's hard to look away or give it a pass.

On the other hand: Venkman categorically refuses to violate Dana, and, while played for laughs, the film explicitly acknowledges that Zeddemore faces a more problematic situation than the other three face when the four are arrested.

So - I love this movie. I own this movie. Everyone should watch this movie. But please notice the problem with this movie, along with the things it gets very right.

Poor Quality 4K UHD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This film originally released in 1984 and still is regarded as the most successful comedy ever made.

Ghostbusters is a thoroughly entertaining movie which has delighted millions around the world.

This having been said I regretfully have to report the quality of Ghostbusters 4k UHD is extremely disappointing to say the least, what I witnessed via a Panasonic UB900 4K Blu-ray player and a Epsom projector has left me in no doubt that those responsible for the release of this movie on the Premium format have really not done this film Justice.

This film comes with heavy dose of Grain in dark scenes and the shadow line detail is less than acceptable throughout the entire film with dark, black, brown and sepia tones which suffered quite badly.

If one applies extra Sharpness and contrast it will only make the picture quality worse and add noise artefacts and ringing in some scenes in the overall picture...and talking of the picture quality.

The overall quality is uneven from scene to scene this entire movie requires a full remaster and some of the special effects can be updated and improved.

I really had expected better from Sony Entertainment, I have been left somewhat disappointed by the graininess of the picture quality and the uneven quality of some scenes throughout the entire movie.

I believe in quality products and this 4K release from Sony Entertainment is certainly not one of them, if Studios continue to release poor quality 4K products then they would have already condemned 4K UHD Blu-ray to history...

Just as the American market put the nails into the 3D coffin of that format which has led to the decline of 3D content in the United States...but that is another story.

I've bought recently Ridley Scott's 1979 classic Alien on 4k UHD, a film that was released 5 years before Ghostbusters and yet 20th Century Fox has produced a stunning product to be enjoyed on this premium disk format and yet Sony Entertainment has not seen the light to produce what could have been a supreme product on 4K UHD disc, a huge disappointment and the worse 4K product I have encountered so far.

Note to Sony Entertainment...
Please do something about this.

A gorgeous Steel Book, be it only Blu Ray

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ghostbusters is one of my favourite films of the 1980's.
Its fun, has a cast who have chemistry including Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, and Harold Ramis.

The plot centres around a group of scientists who chase ghosts and want to contain them, during a period of ghost activity in New York.

Its very funny, special effects are good, and has moments I think when you feel for the main characters.

Presented here in a Blu Ray steel book, at the cost is an absolute bargain and something to keep on my shelf to show my kids when they are old enough.

Images included of back cover, and contents of inside. Simply lovely :)

AN IMPROVEMENT OVER PREVIOUS BLU RAY RELEASES - BUT STILL NOT PERFECT

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

This mastered for 4K blu ray is definately a step up from the standard blu ray, far less grain and the colour extentsion is good when viewed on our 78" Sony 4K TV, however there is still a healthy amount of filmic grain and the picture could be a tad sharper, but that being said it is a filmfrom the early 1980's so there is a dramatic improvement (though when one views older movies on blu ray, such as "Ten Commandments, Hello Dolly & Goonies, one wonders why they are so much better than this, Sound is good in DTS Master 5.1

Great film, very funny, why they had to remake it with women I will never know.
Why not make Ghostbusters 3 rather than a remake.
I don't say reboot, reboot is what you do to a computer.
