Giant 4K UHD Screenshots (Patreon)

From Chris: Mildly disappointing 4K release. WB dumps virtually all of the extras from the 3-disc Blu-ray and the transfer is merely serviceable. Not really a movie known for fantastic PQ since the original negative is partially missing and contains a ton of soft opticals and bad dissolves. An uneven palette doesn't benefit very much from the HDR. That being said, some scenes look fantastic.
Nominated for ten Academy Awards, Giant is definitely of its era. Three Hollywood legends in one movie, but Stevens' sprawling Texas family epic stuffs in a lot of time skips over 3.5 hours. Basically the movie is fine when Elizabeth Taylor is involved and suffers when her character is moved to the background over the last hour or so. By today's standards, Hudson isn't great at playing the different ages he portrays.
