Where should I place both of these on the contemporary list? They're both very good 4K releases for what they are, even though they have DNR applied that makes them look worse than they otherwise could be.nicolas wrote: Sun May 31, 2026 5:08 pm The Sirat 4K is great! It has Dolby Vision and Atmos and the extras that are on the Neon BD. But be warned in case you don’t know already, the film received a DNR pass which can be very noticeable from time to time. The 4K encode fortunately is very good and doesn’t exacerbate the digital sheen more than already present. Like The Smashing Machine, this is another recent film that was shot on 16mm and then de-grained by the filmmakers. It’s not as if someone’s forcing them to shoot on film, let alone a grainier format if they don’t want the textures that come with it. Anyway, the 4K is recommended over a BD release as the finer grain of the former camouflages the DNR a little better.
