Some of the Best 3D Ever!!!
on April 15, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
We wanted to see this movie at the theatre, but due to our schedules, somehow never got around to it. We ended up getting the 3D blu-ray at Best buy, and it has some of the Best 3D effects Ever!!! Not just of the eye-popping "Coming at You" sort, either, but throughout the film, subtly enhancing the appearance of the entire story. On top of it, the story, acting, and casting is great too. Production values are very high. This is a more-than-ample prequel introducing the world that will eventually contain Harry Potter.

Great Movie
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this 3D film on sale at big savings despite already owning the blu-ray/digital version. The 3D effects are identical to the theatre experience. The movie is the beginning of the final trilogy in the Star Wars canon, and it introduces the new characters that will carry the tale to its end, and many old, familiar characters return. Carrie Fisher's Prince Leia is older, wiser, with a hint of melancholia that is explained by film's end; there's Han Solo who's returned to freebooting throughout the galaxy with his ace pal Chewbacca. The droids r2D2 and C3po are of course still about and central to the story, and the reborn Sith menace drives the story towards the discovery of the lone Jedi Master to balance.

Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award -winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with a German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award-winner Christolph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the Souths most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of InchCandyland,Inch an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz rouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candies trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.

Great Price for a Great Movie
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
The essentials of Quentin Tarantino's over-the-top storytelling style are all present in this loud, bloody, hilarious escaped-slave revenge story. Christoplh Waltz's performance is nuanced and hilarious, as well as thoughtfully introspective. Jamie Foxx is heroic, hilarious, and credibly against stereotype. Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson play master and trusted head slave over a sprawling plantation where Django's wife, Broonhilda, is held. Along the way, Don Johnson, Quentin Tarantino himself, Bruce Dern, Jonah Hill, Walton Goggins, Tom Wopat, and a "cast of Thousands(!)" chew the scenery to a pulp in this roaring subversively political comedy-adventure.

Great Illumination
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
this film fills in Wolverine's backstory more completely and satisfyingly than any series of flashbacks inserted in another film ever could. That the Wolverine has a deep and compelling history only revealed incrementally over time in the comic books only increases the satisfaction of watching this film that features character development and personal relationships beyond the set action requirements of a superhero film.

Master of the Mystic Arts

this latest MCU film to make it to home video continues Marvel's consistent string of quality big-screen adaptations of its iconic characters. As with previous adaptations, the story varies from the comic books, but in no way substantially diminishes either the characters or the storyline. The acting is wonderful, and the sets and special effects realize the Strange Tales admirably. The 3D is a flawless enhancement to the viewing experience.

Needed telling of an Important Story
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very good movie, though bracing difficult to watch, most of the time. Its portrayal of the subtle undertones of slavery's oppression in daily life creeps up on the viewer until at some point of aggregation one is suddenly aware of the terrible weight borne by slaves, but also by the slavers; who live with an ever-present fear that some great slave revolt will eventually flare, and this fear prevents any true acknowledgment of shared humanity between the races. This story is an important signpost for contemporary Americans of all backgrounds who fit and question the state of Law and Race Relations today....

Good Movie, not Great yet...
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall I like this movie, but it was not quite as good as it could have been. It suffers due to DC's struggles to play catch-up building a cohesive universe a la Marvel. While the extended version of the movie does flow a little more intelligibly between the fights and explosions, the need to include back-story for the characters and plots results in a very long movie. It's still worth the purchase and viewing, if one has a few hours free time. the 3D rendering is Great....

....this game looks, and even plays, like a clone of the Walking Dead tv series. Gritty, dark visuals of an apocalyptic landscape swarmed with the undead make this first-person strategic shooter a singular experience...

My son loves this game. It includes previously-downloadable content that gives more context to the Star Wars Universe it inhabits, along with a Rogue One tie-in. Worth the price...
