Yeah, a head-scratcher to be sure… I thought that things looked pretty darn good, if not amazing, on the Disney+ version. I can’t tell if it’s being suggested that what is on the Blu Ray is different from that (and worse quality), but if that’s true it’s hard to imagine why?Pretty interesting review of the new Blu-Ray set:

And that's to be expected when you blow up 16mm film then crop it to 16x9No, same poor quality as the Disney+ version. Grain/noise reduction to the extreme.
Sigh. Nobody forces you to apply (extreme) DNR on any film source. Leave cropped blown up 16mm film alone! Grain is good for you. BTW, you absolutely shouldn’t touch historical footage at all. Don’t crop it, keep the original aspect ratio.And that's to be expected when you blow up 16mm film then crop it to 16x9

I generally agree, but wasn't Let It Be intended for theatrical exhibition from the beginning? If so, that would imply that it was composed with cropping in mind.
It was originally planned as a television special. The switch to a film came about with the move to Apple.
I think that’s a Disney thing. i believe they’ve basically ceased doing 4K Bluray releases.Did anyone see it at an IMAX theatre recently?
What did it look like at that resolution?
If IMAX could do it BIG without problems, surely a 4K version should've been possible but from what I've read so far, they're not going to release one EVER!

I don't think that's accurate. All the Star Wars theatrical films are readily available on UHD 4K Blu-ray.I think that’s a Disney thing. i believe they’ve basically ceased doing 4K Bluray releases.
Releases on UHD beyond Marvel and Star Wars are rare from Disney. They did the same with 3D despite the movies being released in the Cinemas in 3D. Call me old fashioned, but streaming sucks on many levels. Less bitrate for video and lower sound quality (It's not lossless audio in multichannel)....not to mention titles regularly get deleted on a whim. Just charge me an extra $10 per release and put it out on UHD so I can watch things in the best quality, with the best sound and can always be available in my movie library.I don't think that's accurate.

I said “basically” for a reason.I don't think that's accurate. All the Star Wars theatrical films are readily available on UHD 4K Blu-ray.
They don’t care about the one time extra $10 revenue. They want you to spend your money every month on streaming. The entertainment industry’s priority is moving you from the ownership model, not quality.Releases on UHD beyond Marvel and Star Wars are rare from Disney.

Ambiguous language.I said “basically” for a reason.
I would agree with you Francois, but seeing that old stuff when it's unretouched reminds me of how old I really am.Sigh. Nobody forces you to apply (extreme) DNR on any film source.

I was typing in phone on the go so didn’t have the time or desire to go into excruciating detail.Ambiguous language.
