Enjoy ... whatever you do watch ...

Just picked a few random blu rays out to see what they look like. Tried Top Gun looks so clear then I tried two of the best looking blu rays I own Jaws and Street Trash actually looks like they are in the room with you its that realistic looking. I can only imagine what a 4K film will look like using a 4K player.

Indeed. Saw just a dvd of Deadpool on one of those curved buggers and the pockmarks in the material of his costume in the opening cab ride was ... involving to say the least
Ahem. Have fun ....

If you have a setup where you can have a couple of players linked into the TV, you might find it interesting to get a multi format release of the same film (I did this with Guardians of the Galaxy 2) and set the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD disc playing simultaneously. I was really impressed with AV quality from the standard Blu-ray until I saw and heard its 4K counterpart and realised how comparatively dull the picture looked without HDR and how flat the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack was compared to the Dolby Atmos one.

I did the same a couple of days ago with The LEGO Movie, something I thought was a beautiful looking picture in 1080p until watching it in 2160p with HDR. Blade Runner is definitely one of the most impressive films I've seen (and heard), as is Kong: Skull Island, mother!, Wonder Woman (which someone could hear from the pavement outside!), and the John Wick films.

I've only seen The Eye, which I highly rate, and hope you like as much as I do. However, you may have an issue for some time afterwards if you rely on lifts in your everyday life!

Sense of deja-vu here.

A turd is still a turd though. No matter how polished it looks.

Maybe, but GotG2 is not a turd – I have enjoyed it on every viewing and the events became even more impactful in Avengers: Infinity War. I don't think it's the best 'episode' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series of films, but it's a funny, engaging and occasionally moving film – I'm glad there will be a third instalment but it'll be interesting to see when it is set relative to Infinity War.
