I have a new 4k tv and I am having a hard time finding stuff to watch on it. I understand blu-ray has recently upgraded to support 4k but I am not sure even the most recent star wars is available in 4k. Can anyone recommend a few good movies I can get in 4k before I go buy a new blu-ray player?

There were some UHD releases in March. I picked up a Samsung 4K player and have recently bought “The Martian” and “The Life of Pi”. There were only these and a handful of other 4K DVDs available from Amazon.  
The two listed above were the only ones that interested me as for as visual quality.  
Sadly I haven’t had the time to watch either. I’m hoping to get one viewing in tonight.

The first thing I noticed about the latest Star Wars release was that a UHD was not available. I’m guessing that they didn’t want us to miss the opportunity to buy Blu Ray now and then buy the same movie in UHD in the future. :mad:
