Watching it now, this HDR rip is so dark/muted and comments on IPT saying same thing

That's what I thought too. It was fucking terrible, and since almost the entire thing was filmed in the dark it was hard to ignore. I suppose I could put the D+ version up now and compare, but I was actually checking my settings during this to make sure I hadn't fucked up something somewhere.

Yeah I restarted it multiple times, turned off my hue tv strip. It's so fucking dim

playing it on VLC you can jack up the sound and gamma.

Sorry but why bother? This movie is utter dog shit...which is sad cause it raised some interesting questions but never fully explored them.

While I agree that most have kind of gone down hill, I would heavily argue that No Way Home was a contender as one of the best Marvel movies made.

That, that was the whole point of my post. They made it for Sony, though.

I play my shit through an Nvidia Shield and KODI onto my 65" 4k TV and a 9.2 receiver. I shouldn't have to fuck around with it.

That being said, I just skimmed through the Disney+ version on the same exact setup, and it looks fine. So it is definitely the rip, or the alternate source for the rip (since this was before the D+ version was out) that was the problem.

ahh ok, thought you were watching it on the PC, i cant imagine anyone would give this the home theater treatment. lol i would watch this in windowed mode while surfing FOH on the slow parts. if i wasnt redoing all the Potter films i would toss it on for the lolz. I'm up to Goblet of Fire. so i got a ways to go.

God this shit is worse than I remember, Cgi and costumes are so bad. I thought marvel was screwed after this and Shang chi but then No way home came out

Do you stream off a PC/NAS to the shield?

I use MPC-HC with MadVR to play from my PC which is connected to my 2016 OLED, just wondering if a Shield Pro would be a better playback device, but then I'd still need the PC to download stuff and presumably stream from, or to save to a NAS

That HDR rip looked ok on my actual HDR TV, but was dark on my PC screen.

Grizzlebeard · Jan 14, 2022

Watched this last night, wasn't as bad as I expected.

Wasn't very good either though to be fair.

Marvel has this uncanny knack of removing any sense of jeopardy from its movies and then when someone dies and we're supposed to care no-one does.

Yes, I have a NAS that streams to the Shield Pro. It used to come straight from a PC but the size of my storage quickly got way too large. It is connected directly via ethernet cable, not wifi, but I've heard that wifi is just fine for 4k nowadays anyway if you have a good router. I download 4k remux rips, which means exactly the same quality as the disc itself, maximum bitrate, etc. and the Shield never has a problem streaming it.

If you're looking to eliminate a PC from the equation, that's up to you. It isn't required to play it, but yeah, you gotta get it onto the NAS somehow.

Yeah, I don't think it's worth it because my PC will always be in my living room next to the TV so it seems pointless to add an extra device into the equation. I was hoping the Shield would be a better playback device with less effort than configuring madVR etc, but I'd probably get a better picture upgrade by putting the money towards a more recent TV

Honestly, how much do you think Sony had to do with this movie?
I mean they don't have the most stellar record with the Super hero movies
Granted Spider-man 1 and 2 were decent (I think Spider-man 2 is over hyped but was still a good movie) but since then they have been either mediocre or just outright shit in the super hero department. Marvel has a lot of missteps (Okay, a few shit tier movies too) but they have shown (even recently) they know how to do super hero movies right.

Zweischneid · Jan 14, 2022

Watched it and also thought it was better then it's bad rep. Definitely lots of wasted potential, but a decent watch. Definitely better than the soulless Spidy-memberberries iMO.

The Morrigan · Jan 14, 2022

You thought this movie had soul?

I think they had enough to do with it that it was significantly better than the Woke trash tier BS that Marvel has been making for themselves.
