I was somewhat disappointed this went from promising an evaluation of Netflix originals to detailing his 4K streaming setup.

I care much more about the content than how it looks. I've watched films off bootleg DVDs and been happier than watching comic book movies on IMAX screens.

> According to Wikipedia, there were about 70? 80s? of these movies in 2018, so presumably there’ll be a similar amount this year.

I'm curious if anything Netflix is pumping out is worth the time investment.



I literally just finished watching The Irishman on my desktop and realized 3 hours in that I hadn't even full screened it. Don't need 4k.

I saw Speed Racer a year ago on an IMAX and it was glorious. Watched it this year at home and it was meh.

I don't think anyone can claim they flat out do or do not need a certain fidelity. It's content specific.


There are a bunch of reviews of the netflix movies on that blog, just look at https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/category/netflix/

Aren't there enough movie review sites that also have lists of Netflix Originals with their reviews / votes?


Yes, but it was promising to be more than a review. Author was going down the path of a whacky binge watching adventure, probably comparing 1940s cinema to 2019 Netflix Originals on the way, before detouring off to a story about gaming the resolution.

For people like GP and I, who care more about content than format, the first premise was more enticing.


He links to it at the end of his post.


I don't care much how the content looks either, but I found the details of the OP's setup very interesting, more so than I would have an actual movie review.
