Product Information

Also what is the BD version like? More often than not, a 'poor' UHD transfer has an even worse BD transfer so just because its cheaper, doesn't mean the gain isn't still significant. Is the remastered BD 'better' or are we assuming on this? Genuinely asking as I've been burnt by that before, thinking a 4K transfer isn't great, then immediately doing an AB comparison and seeing how poor the BD release is was somewhat eye opening. It’s difficult to measure the long-term influence that Goodfellas has had on everything in its wake. It’s essentially perfect from top to bottom, outclassing nearly every story of its type, and breaking every rule in the book along the way. From pacing to performances to story, it’s one of the most imminently rewatchable films ever made. It traces the journey of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a man whose ambition is to join the world of New York mobsters under the watchful eye of Pauly (Paul Sorvino), the head of the organization. He befriends Jimmy (Robert De Niro), a cool but calculating criminal; Tommy (Joe Pesci), a hot-headed but loyal friend to them both; and Karen (Lorraine Bracco), a strong woman whom he eventually marries and brings into his way of life.

It's a cautionary tale that tempts viewers to throw Warner Bros has brought Goodfellas to UHD with a great transfer and a decent amount of extras, all of which have been carried over from previous releases, though the accompanying booklet and letter with Scorsese’s signature from the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray is notably absent. A few new things could have been added to spice things up, including the film’s marketing campaign, but as is, this is still a nice Ultra HD upgrade.

First thing to take note of is the fact the movie has never been much of a looker to begin with. Michael Ballhaus's cinematography has always been on the flat side with a somewhat controlled, slightly toned down palette. Primaries are accurately rendered, especially reds and blues, but they're not much brighter or vibrant than what's seen on the Blu-ray. Earth tones, yellows and browns are more natural looking and a bit bolder than before while the few splatters of magentas, purples, pinks and golds are more colorful, giving the gaudy 1970s clothing, furniture and kitschy décor a true-to-life glow.The Scorsese masterpiece flaunts its stuff with a strong HEVC H.265 encode in HDR10 made from the same 4K remaster of the original elements used for last year's 25th Anniversary Blu-ray. Although the results don't quite compare to other Ultra HD releases, the presentation showcases several notable improvements though the upgrade is pretty minor and subtle. assessment of the film and, perhaps just as importantly, the technical merits of the 4K presentation.
