Movies shot on 35mm film stock should be fine for 4k and probably 8k too. The “resolution” of film is really quite high bear in mind it was designed to be projected onto a large screen. There’s a lot of benefit even from these old films being reproduced in HDR too. The big cameras with their expensive bright lenses used in film production capture a lot of light and we’ve never really seen it played back accurately in cinemas or on DVD.

Film stock have as much as 13-14stops of dynamic range, so similar to that of a professional Digital camera. The biggest issue will be (just like it is for 4K) SFX
Given there have been no HDR displays until recently, it’s unlikely that studios will have wasted artist and render time on pumping out Video with enough overhead for proper HDR grading to occur. Even really recent releases aren’t really very HDR. Gaming is the place to see it.

The picture is sensational on this release. So much fine detail. I take my hat off to the people behind it they have done a very good job.
