Wow, thanks for showing that. I always check blu-ray.com before buying anyway, but I didn't think the industry would be so stupid. Ofcourse, I should have known better with the early single layer mpeg2 blu-ray discs.

Here's the culprit, the movies were made in 2K

X-Men days of future past:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877832/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec
ARRIRAW (2.8K) (also dual-strip 3-D) (source format)
Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format)

Max Max Fury road:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec
ARRIRAW (2.8K) (source format)
Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format)

I stand corrected, 2K is still a thing :( I guess 4K cinema is a lot slower in uptake than I thought.
Even the Martian still has a 2K digital intermediate.

The Revenant should be in actual 4K
ARRIRAW (3.4K) (6.5K) (source format)
Digital Intermediate (4K) (master format)


No worries :) It is almost shocking that movies made in the last 2-3 years were still finished on a 2k DI....The Martian was a big one cause of its massive budget and was only released last year. Bit decieving on movie studios to claim it is 4K Ultra HD but I suppose it technically is 'up-rezzed' to 4k. This is one of the many reasons by I do not own a UHD TV currently, as the content for it is either not there yet, extremely limited or half-assed(like this 2K DI business).
