Unfortunately the best we can get is to wait for things to come out on Blu-ray and download them.

It sucks, since BD is such a ridiculously low quality format, but there's not much we can do about it.

apparently there is a site called torint where you can get free movies without paying money, i can't find it though.

>>45604016
Watching Interstellar on the big screen with earth shattering bass was pretty worth it. This film would lose some impact unless you have a home theater.

Pretty freaky movie btw.

>>45604058

>Pretty freaky movie btw.
Suffered a severely overextended ending. As bad as A.I. Artificial Intelligence

>tfw can't watch it on IMAX because no domes here

>>45604129
I have a home theater but I have no way to get access to the appropriate content. We simply can't compare with cinemas without being able to access the same source material.

>>45604143
1080p, 24 fps, sRGB spectrum

Meanwhile cinemas are showing 8K res, 48 Hz, wide gamut content.

There is simply no way to get anything better onto Blu-ray video discs by definition, we need a new format to replace it since it's holding home cinema back with its muddy, undersaturated low-res headache-inducing framerate garbage.

Fuck Blu-ray.

>>45604016
Go watch it in cinema, the visuals are very cool. I didn't like the film overall, but the views are beautiful.

>>45604150
Shame no spoiler tags on this board, but come on, the "H-C" part of the ending was a little too over the top, I was ready to forgive the rest of it but I don't fancy films that go from science fiction to science fantasy on a dime.

>>45604030
Theatres are uncomportable,cramped seating.Shitty sound (loud isnt better).

>>45604016
I watched Babadook in the movies and it was hilarious. Everyone was laughing when the mum went evil!

>>45604170
No consumer monitor supports 8K, and no monitor fully supports 4K since it isn't a finish specification yet.

also http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/newsroom/news/news/500GB_Bluray/page.html

Blu-Ray is the best optical medium, unless they transition to flash drives it will remain the market leader.

>>45604025
This.

Sad thing the ending kinda sucked.

>>45604170
>8K res
Hold on there bucko, let me interject with my knowledge on this topic as there are no 8K cameras yet, the Sony F65 tops out at a sub-8K resolution and uses that data to sample a clean 4K image. Even if theaters could project 8K there is nothing short of scanned IMAX film that can capture said resolution, and practically no one uses that anymore.

>>45604170
>Meanwhile cinemas are showing 8K res
You're sitting way further back though, and it's upscaled as fuck to a massive physical screen size.
The effective DPI isn't more than your phone at arms length.

>>45604016
OP, it's not out in that form yet.
That's not the way they do it.
Only the shittiest movies go straight to DVD.
And why is this in /g/ when it literally has nothing to do with tech?

How come the highres copies used at the cinemas are never leaked? Seriously, this has never once happened.

>>45604016
Don't be a whiny little bitch and go watch some classics, then in a few months come back and watch it when the BD is out. If you're an underage faggot that can't wait that long, go watch it in the cinema, that's exactly the type of people they're targeting by this.

>>45604255
Go get a job at a movie theater and do it yourself.

>>45604272
I just think it's weird. With so many movie theaters, it's kind of weird statistically that it has never happened.

>>45604255
They're all digitally signed or watermarked or something, so basically if you work at a theater and leak a copy, they will know you did it and will go after your anus.

25k/yr and $500 per film iirc. Suck it up.

>>45604303

No they aren't. Screeners are marked, regular theater copies are.

>>45604016
Intersteller wouldn't be the same movie watching it non-IMAX. I don't think I'll be able to watch it at home because it would ruin the experience.

>>45604227
>no monitor fully supports 4K since it isn't a finish specification yet.
What is that supposed to mean? How is my monitor not supporting 4K?

Also you ignored my other points. Framerate and color gamut. Those are more important than resolution, I'd argue.

>Blu-Ray is the best optical medium, unless they transition to flash drives it will remain the market leader.
It sounds like you don't fully comprehend the problem at hand. The issue is not the optical medium. The issue is the braindead technical limitations of the format stored on it.

>>45604387
I don't see how the framerate is such a big issue when pretty much every film ever other than The Hobbit is filmed at 24fps.

>>45604342
>Twice the sharpness of Blu-ray
>1080p24 FullHD for 2D and 3D content
>Uncompressed PCM format
Sounds like snake oil.

wait till they come out on bluray. buy or download the bluray video. also should be available on itunes and netflix around that time, but that's inferior quality.

>>45604424
Once you have gotten used to playing games at 60FPS, you cannot go back to 30FPS.

Same goes for movies. Yes, 24 FPS is what people are used to. That does not make it a good thing. People were once used to horses, too.

>>45604470
If the movie was filmed at 24fps increase the frames isn't going to make it look better.

But no one shoots films at a higher frame rate so complaining about bluray not supporting it kinda pointless.

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be great if whatever format that replaces bluray supports higher frame rates but at the moment it's a very minor issue.

What is wrong with interlacing?
It almost halves the bandwidth you need to send a signal.
That and almost all high frame-rate content originates at 1080i today, and it originated in 576i/480i ten years ago. (except for modern video-games, with which the signal never travels more than a few metres so bandwidth is never an issue)

Deinterlacing is pretty advanced in 2014.
Complaining about deinterlacing is like complaining about the rescaling your display needs to do with colour subsampling. aka Autism overload.

Cinematography has developed with 24fps in mind. The same camera angles and makeup techniques do not work with higher framerates.

>>45604170
99% of all movies are shot at 24 fps. 4k is pretty much the limit of 35mm film; 8k would only be beneficial for a movie shot on 70mm aka imax film stock. 8k projectors are not real, try 2k and 4k.

>>45605335
That's why we experiment, to discover what works and what doesn't work so that the necessary reforms can be made. You cannot expect a medium to stay stagnant forever. As technology evolves, cinema should evolve with it.

24 fps is an economically driven decision. You'd be more than doubling your film cost for something people would bitch about.

God, why keep upgrading an annoying gimmick system that's failed to break through three times since WWII? Even the soviets experimented with stereoscopic projection before that.

We'll have real, working VR in the mainstream long before they can wring out all the kinks with projecting stereo images on a screen in an auditorium. Nobody wants to pay 15 bucks to go to a cinema and wear stupid glasses. The filmmakers almost universally misuse the technology...

I suspect the whole format is ill suited to narrative storytelling; it'll show most of it's potential in games or maybe other open ended media experiences (interactive VR porn).

Meanwhile, we'll still make and enjoy "flatties" (at 24 or 48 or 60 or 120 FPS). Though they won't be the great cultural medium they once were... which is sad for me as a cinephile, but not really significant in the grand scheme of things.

>>45606832
You're kind of late to the game, I mean Blu-ray has already been around for over 8 years.

4K Blu-ray is in the works, it's set to launch in about a year, but it's very questionable if it's going to take off at all, thanks to diminished returns as well as diminished interest in physical media.

So you might want to wait, but with that said Blu-ray is not exactly a huge investment, you can get drives or players for like $50 and movies drop in price almost as quickly as games on Steam, and while streaming will take over everything eventually, it'll be years before they reach the quality of Blu-ray.

As a former projectionist, most theaters only have 3 total projectionists.

>>45607973
Spill more trade secrets

>>45608013
Not him, but a friend who worked at a major cinema told me the computer that operates the projector is locked down big time. You can insert the media and press play, and that's about it.

So it's not like you could just install some program to rip the movie to a thumb drive while it plays. If you could get around all that, you probably have better prospects than working in a cinema for 12 bucks an hour.

They had to call a regional service technician to come in and fix keystoning issues and the like. Projectionist used to be a pretty technical position, with unions and apprenticeships. Today you pop a drive into a slot and call corporate if there are issues.

>>45608013
I'm not him, but back in the day you couldn't even legally be in a film booth without an industrywide certification.

More fun facts from an ex projectionist, all this was true 2 years ago
Digital movies arrive on hard drives and range from 80GB (The Woman in Black) to 750GB (Titanic 3D). 3D does not double the movie's size, but increases it just a little.
When a new hard drive arrives, it is plugged in to a projector and its contents transferred to a 1-2TB drive inside the projector housing.
Trailers are sometimes sent via 8GB flash drive and trailer companies don't ask for them back. So after a few years of digital shows, we had a box full of about a hundred flash drives. I did try to play a trailer on my computer by opening the file with VLC and it worked. I didn't have the balls to put a hard drive's contents on my computer but I know it was a weird file format.
Regular or 3D digital movies are in either 1080p or 4k resolution.
Digital/3D IMAX is 4K.
