Nolan Says Buy Oppenheimer on Blu-ray So No Evil Streaming Service Can Steal It

I will. There’s no streaming service that guarantees any level of bitrate or picture quality, and if they can save a few cents by compressing the hell out of my movie, they will. If I get a well-mastered 4K disc, it’ll always be a quality experience on a decent player.

Still, I think your attention to picture quality is a niche case (like how "audiophiles" treat music). Above a certain quality that all streaming services pretty much match, I don't really care about compression. Honestly, I can't remember a time I noticed netflix's compression.

I tried to watch Star Trek DS9 on netflix. Video quality was absymal. Same for Valerian.

Audio quality is even worse. To be able to underestand spoke english you need the volume at 60% (everything else working at 20-30%).
