I am a hypocrite lol.

 

I got the TFTM  4k steelbook and watched the full frame BD that came with it.
I am not a videophile. Take this with a grain of salt.

 

I feel the picture quality is 20% "better". It seems more vibrant and the colors are richer.
Dark grey seems more close to black. See Megatron's "undies"
The glowing effects (Matrix energy, laser blasts, lightsabers, green energy during the birth of Galvatron" look stunning and is easily the most improved visual aspect.

The sound is the same as the 2016. Its clear with very minimal rear output.
The subwoofer low frequency is very understated imo with the exception of Unicron saying "welcome Megatron"

 

The extras are a mix of the Sony 2006 DVD and the Shout Factory 2016 BD.
The Death of Op and Q/A featurettes and the commentary are from 2006.
The 46 min documentary is from 2016.
The fully new extras are acoustic performances of "The Touch" and "Dare" by Stan Bush and an art gallery of the new release artwork by Matt Ferguson.

The steelbook comes with screencaps of the movie on card. Cute but not something I will ever look at again.
I wish the hubs were on different sides of the inside. Be careful when taking the "lower disc" out.

 

Overall 8.5/10

 

IF you have only a DVD/VHS of the film, even the 2021 BD is a huge upgrade.
IF you have the 2016 Shout BD, its a tougher call.
Even though I don't have a 4k player, Im glad I have the 4k disk so i dont have to buy it again in 5 years

This is where I am. Your review has temped me.

 

EDIT -

 

 

 

Seeing this comparison . . . this may be the move. 

Speaking of temptation:

I'll be more shocked if it wasn't funded.

I literally read the story earlier yesterday AM that he was taking a medical leave of absence. I was shocked to hear he passed later that afternoon.
