Great price. Purchased last month and confirm that the DC still redeems - also the transfer is fantastic.

Can you confirm if the codes gives you both versions of the film in 4K digital?

There was a comment above that the transfer is fantastic but all the reviews I see say it's really grainy and bad. Can I get another opinion or two on this?

The source material is grainy from what I've read about it. Not a bad transfer but with an older film like this there will be some grain. More detailed review: https://www.avforums.com/reviews/...iew.14104/

The debate to remove or keep film grain is kind of a side story of 4k remasters. I really like a clean 4k release with almost zero grain and I think younger watchers feel this way. Some remasters keep it due to the "feel" of the movie.

Example - I love the Indiana Jones remasters. They are done exactly how I'd like. However some people say the feel is all off because it's "too clean."

4k remasters have so many things to consider. The resolution of the picture is only the beginning. HDR and how it is utilized is very important (most in my opinion). Film grain is another one of those things. I'm sure there may be scenarios where noise and grain are stuck for some reason but it seems that for most releases there was a decision made as to how much to leave.

I just love 4k for the incredible detail in faces and the black levels being really black!

This is the best the film has ever looked. It's considered to be a great transfer. If you love the movie grab it. I've waited for $10 for a couple of years because it's my buy point for 4k (own personal challenge) but black Friday hasn't included it. It's not a go to reference quality film to show off a home theater but it doesn't mean it's not worthy of a spot in a 4k movie collection.

I've also emailed the distribution companies (20th Century/Disney, Universal, WB, etc.) about codes that didn't work as well as several cases that just didn't have the code like they're supposed to, and customer service each time gave me an updated code for the digital copy. If you have issues email the address on the code insert.

I redeemed a free code on Google Play in Jan 2019, which was Movies Anywhere eligible. It has the Directors Cut in 4K Dolby Vision but the Theatrical Cut and Special Edition.are each in HD.

I think the disc code will be the same but perhaps others can confirm.
