Great Blu-ray; Awful Movie
on July 29, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a reference-quality disc, which Universal has (uncharacteristically) loaded with substantive bonus features. Pity the movie is such a waste, though.

Bast off to the Red Planet-and beyond-with The Martian 2-Disc Extended Edition, featuring an ALL-NEW EXTENDED CUT with over 10 minutes of action-packed footage not shown in theaters, plus hours of never-before-seen extras that take you deeper into the making of the film and the science behind it! Nominated for 7 ACADEMY AWARDS(R), including Best Picture and Best Actor (Matt Damon), The Martian is a breathtaking sci-fi adventure directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus) and based on the #1 New York Times best-selling novel. When an American astronaut (Damon) is left behind during a mission to Mars, he must find a way to survive on the barren planet until a team of scientists can devise a rescue plan to bring him home!.

Fox finally puts out a great Martian Blu-ray

The first Martian Blu-ray was a quick cash-grab, but this one has a boatload of substantive features plus a slightly longer alternate cut.

Mediocre movie gets mediocre Blu-ray
on June 24, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only memorable thing about this cult favorite is Tom Hanks' wonderful comic turn. The movie around him? Eh. I think people who love it only do because they grew up watching it on HBO. Nostalgia's a powerful thing. The Blu-ray is similarly shrug-worthy.

One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massic spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships biast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determined band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.

Finally, a great ID4 Blu-ray!

Skip the terrible sequel; this standalone sci-fi adventure remains one of the most engaging summer blockbusters ever made. Fox put out a mediocre Blu-ray before, but this new one includes two remastered versions of the film and some great bonus features.

Fine thriller on a solid Blu-ray

While somewhat cliched, Black Sea is a very respectable submarine caper, bolstered by Jude Law's vanity-free turn. The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, and it's got a couple of solid bonus features.

Great Film; Great Blu-ray

The film remains Ron Howard's finest. Kudos, too, to Universal for remastering it and adding in some new featurettes (and a whole mess of great pre-existing content). Highly recommended.

Cult favorite on mediocre Blu-ray.

Posted by: Moviegeek123

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've no qualms about the movie; it's one of director Joe Dante's best, with a series of wonderfully modulated comic performances. But the Blu-ray is just a step above bare-bones, and I don't understand why, given that other distributors (Arrow Films, for one) have produced all sorts of Burbs-specific content. Maybe Shout Factory will step up...

Interesting movie; okay Blu-ray

The film itself is one of the Coens' most esoteric; it's the definition of an acquired taste. The Blu-ray is a little too grainy, but it's worth it for the Coen Brothers commentary.

One of the great films of the 1960s!

Finally, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly gets the deluxe HD treatment befitting its iconic status; the excessive edge enhancement of the first Blu-ray version is now gone, resulting in a more life-like, textured image, and Fox/MGM has tossed in some great bonus features.

Comic-book adaptation still holds up
on January 19, 2015
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Sin City is still a bracing mix of violence, humor, and visual magic (and yes, it's SO much better than 2014's A Dame to Kill For). The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, but it's missing many of the features from Miramax's first HD iteration.
