This movie holds up so well on repeat viewings. It has wild action, great humor and a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell. The Blu-ray image is very good with some expected grain and the audio is good as well. Even if you've seen the movie in the past, you'll always enjoy it when you watch it again.

One of the Greats

Verified Purchase:Yes
Gladiator stands as one of the finest movies of its generation. It richly deserved the many Oscars that it received. Russell Crowe's performance is superb. The writing is crisp and the action sequences are what the story demands. The Dolby Vision and HDR-10 images are not quite up there with the very best 4K UHD releases but they do improve on the already excellent re-issued Blu-ray. Details are clearer and the overall tone is more natural. The Dolby Vision image is a bit brighter than the HDR-10 version but if your setup can only do HDR-10 you won't be disappointed. The sound track (DTS:X Master) is big and bold as it should be. Dialogue over the center channel is very clear. If you're a fan of Gladiator and have a TV capable of showing 4K HDR and/or Dolby Vision movies, this is a must buy.

Brilliant In Every Way

Verified Purchase:Yes
Braveheart, even on repeat viewing, is a superb movie. Everything about it is just right. The Dolby Vision and HDR-10 versions of the film are outstanding. The images are sharp with tons of detail and colors are natural and well saturated. This is pretty much reference quality. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack sings. It's big, detailed and fully immersive. Braveheart is one the movies that sets a standard for what the 4K UHD format is capable of.

Great Movie, Sub-Optimal Sound Mix
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: bklyn194
from Vallejo, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Black Panther is an great movie. The Dolby Vision and HDR-10 transfers are excellent. The fly in the ointment is the sound mix by DIsney's engineers. As was the case in Thor Ragnarok, the Atmos audio track is not as dynamic as it should be. It seems somewhat muted at times and you have to crank your AV receiver's volume up to get the most out of it. This may not be an issue for many but those with a good home theater audio set up, it may be.

Very Good, Not Quite Great
on April 6, 2018
Posted by: bklyn194

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Last Jedi isn't up there with the best of the Star Wars movies but does stand on its own as a very good film. It takes up where The Force Awakens left off and advances its story lines. The home release has both 4K HDR and Dolby Vision versions so which one you'll see depends on whether your TV and UHD disc player are DV capable. Each format provides an excellent image. The audio, while good, should have been better. Volume has to be cranked up significantly to get the full impact of the Dolby Atmos sound track. If you are a Star Wars fan and have all of the movies in series, you will, no doubt, add The Last Jedi to your collection.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Shape of Water is a wonderful adult fairy tale with a great performance by Sally Hawkins. Without uttering a single word, she conveys more emotion and intention than many actors do with pages of dialogue. She gets wonderful support from veteran actors Octavia Spencer and the always reliable Richard Jenkins. Guillermo Del Toro's directorial vision is perfectly presented in this 4K release. The colors and details are all there. The Oscar that the movie received was well desreved.

Great Technically, Story Not So Much
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: bklyn194
from Vallejo, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Batman vs. Superman, from a technical standpoint is a very good 4K transfer. The image is dark and moody but the high resolution brings out significant details. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is excellent with a high degree of immersion. The plot, however, doesn't meet the standards of the video and audio. It's jumbled and disjointed at times and until the end of the movie, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is pretty much background scenery. Nevertheless, if you like the DC Comics characters, and the price is right, Batman vs. Superman may be worth a look.

Outstanding

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's Star Wars, what else do you have to say? While I could do without The Phantom Menace, the second trilogy (Volumes 1-3) are technically beautiful and upscale to 4K TVs very well. The original trilogy got better in terms of picture quality with each new volume but, again, they look very good and upscale well. The new more compact packaging and individual plastic disc holders are a major improvement over the original Saga Collection's bulkier box and cardboard disc slips. Movie and Special Features-wise there are no differences between the two releases but the later one is the set to get.
