People might not like the ending, but the film is well done, there are some memorable scenes, and it does leave you thinking no matter your interpretation of what is going on.

The animation is just as beautiful as you would expect from a Ghibli film, but while some of the characters might be cute, i found overall both their personalities and the story to be quite forgettable. Not up to par with the classics in the Ghibli library.

Everybody should already know the movie itself. This release with 4K and Atmos takes a great movie and also makes it a reference disc to show off your system.

The movie itself was the same movie it's always been, but maybe my memories were skewed a little to it being better than how good a movie it actually is. Nevertheless this classic looks and sounds great in 4K w/ Atmos.

Very watchable movie. Just throw it in and don't think too hard about what is going on. Not a masterpiece but definitely an entertaining ride nonetheless.

In very generalized terms i would say people watch movies to escape reality. For this reason alone I don't think this movie is for everyone. It is still a movie and I am sure for those in real life situations akin to the actors on the screen the movie may be inaccurate in many ways, but i am sure the movie brings a lot of the struggles of life to the forefront in a way that people might imagine and soften to others around them. The film's subject matter may be ugly, but I feel it also shows the little moments that can be nice. Plus the acting is good.

To make it simple, if you liked Harry Potter you will probably like this movie to an extent. I didn't think it was particularly amazing, but there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it either. Just like the Harry Potter series, even though there are things about the movies that could have been better, the main selling point is that it is great to see these fantasy worlds materialize on the screen where they were once just words in a book.

I would say this is probably one of the most impressive 4k discs in terms of visuals and sound. The movie itself is a classic, and with all the improvements in the aforementioned areas this is in my opinion a must own.

Nice movie to throw on for a movie night, easy to watch and something for everyone to enjoy, plus in 4k with atmos the experience is pretty immersive. That being said while the movie is a solid watch I didn't really feel it was anything really special. People should give Seven Samurai (the original) a go...
