Netflix streams them at around 18 mbps with HDR, that's 7.9 GB per hour or 16GB for a 2 hour movie.
4K UHD discs can hold upto 100GB Not all of that is for the movie as it includes multiple soundtracks and extras.

The first 4K movie was 330GB for a 52 minute movie in 4096x2304 12 bit cineform format.

4K UHD is still very lossy compressed compared to that, that file runs at over 800 mbps, compared to max 128 mbps for 4K UHD discs.

It wouldn't be so bad for games if they came on 4K UHD discs, and installed to a 2Tb SSD drive :)

At some point we may truly get to sound and pixelcount that is already "all we need"

The new Pixeljunk VR game Dead Hungry is 545 MB, there's probably smaller than that. Yet a 100GB game must be 200x more fun!
"All we need" is still very far off. Proper full spectrum holographic video is still sci-fi.
Plus we need gigapixel textures like these https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/17/11686296/art-camera-google-cultural-institute :)

It ain't fun until you can zoom in on the dust particles on the walls. (looking at you gts, modelling air vents in the car interiors... you got me, that's what I'm looking at while racing)

On topic, why be unhappy when you actually get to see a real difference. When I got the ps4 pro, try as I might, I couldn't see much difference between between downsampled and normal 1080p on a 1080p projector. At least with the X you should still see some actual benefits on a 1080p screen from improved textures.
