Not as Good As Expected
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
The transfer is not as good as I thought it would be. Whereas the Resident Evil Afterlife 4K movie looks incredible (fun fact: it was shot in 4K). This movie was not shot in 4K and it's much older. It looks and sounds it. The movie is a great movie but I can't fully recommend it if you already own a 1080P copy.

What a 'Lovely' Movie!
on February 15, 2017

from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the best movies I've seen in 4k besides The Martian, Watchmen, The Revenant and Jupiter Ascending. The picture quality and sound are immensely immersive. This should be in your collection. Not only does it look and sound amazing but the storyline is top notch. Recommended.

This collector's edition set brings together all four films of The Hunger Games franchise. The box office smash hits, adapted from the young adult novels by Suzanne Collins, follow Katniss Everdeen's (Jennifer Lawrence) journey through the annual televised blood sport event, eventually becoming the driving force behind a rebellion against the established post-apocalyptic order. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, and Donald Sutherland also star in the films, which are presented in this multidisc set in breathtaking 4k UltraHD.

Volunteer for a 4K Experience
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love Katniss and particularly Miss Jennifer Lawerence. But I was skeptical of whether or not the jump to 4k for The Hunger Games would be worth it or not. Generally most current movies filmed in digital or 2K make a really great jump to HD. The sound and experience are all amplified. It was like revisiting with an old friend who suddenly looked better. Definitely recommended.

Zac Snyder's Best
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is by far my favorite movie of Zac Snyder's. And one of the best Comic book flicks out there besides Deadpool. It is stunning in 4K even though it was made in 2009. The storyline is a rare treat. Definitely recommended to own.

Incredible In Every Way
on February 4, 2017

from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
After seeing this movie you will understand why Leo DiCaprio won the Oscar. And the director won one too for the picture. The acting is top notch. The story is non stop immersive. And in 4K, Man this is one of the most beautiful movies I own. Period. Absolutely recommended.

Jupiter Ascending is a 2015 American-Australian space opera film written, produced, and directed by The Wachowskis. Starring Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne, the film is centered on Jupiter Jones (Kunis), an ordinary cleaning woman, and Caine Wise (Tatum), an interplanetary warrior who informs Jones that her destiny extends beyond Earth. Supporting cast member Douglas Booth has described the film's fictional universe as a cross between The Matrix and Star Wars, while Kunis identified indulgence and consumerism as it's underlying themes

Explosive in 4K
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is simply made for 4K. I can't say it enough. It looks mind-blowing in HDR. My jaw was dropping. Even in the deep black scenes I could see every detail. The creators of The Matrix didn't hit their creative zenith with this film like their earlier film but its arguably more beautiful. Still recommended. Especially if you have OLED HDR (4K or even just 4K HDR).

Dreadful in 4K but Amazing Movie
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite movies. David Bowie? Amazing, Brilliant performance! However the 4K transfer is absolutely subpar and looks awful. It looks worse than 1080P. Looks like they blew up a 480i transfer. Seriously I thought I was watching a VHS transfer. And it distracts from an incredible movie. Sound quality was impressive. I rarely give negative reviews but this one justifiably deserves it. Not recommended. Keep your old 1080P or VHS copy.

Exceptional. A Standout.
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This story is important for the sake of invigorating the future astronauts and space explorers and it looks absolutely incredible in 4K. Ridley Scott really outdid himself with this flick. Its my second favorite movie of his after ALIEN. It has action, comedy but most important heart. Definitely recommended

A corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) is sent to a remote, top-secret location, where she is to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident. She learns the event was triggered by a seemingly innocent Inchhuman,Inch who presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.

Predictable But Good 4K
on February 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
You usually can't go wrong with a Ridley Scott Vehicle. That being said Morgan is definitely cliched. It does look great in ULTRA HD however. Some movies don't. I got the movie on sale so it was worth $19.99. It's not as good as Ridley's The Martian or Alien but still a worthy popcorn flick.

A 4K Blockbuster
on January 16, 2017
Posted by: VirtuaMarc
from Spring Hill, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I just love the Steel books. I always buy them over the cheap editions if I get the chance. Why? They hold up better. And they look better. Seriously this movie looks amazing in 4K. You need a HDMI 2.0a cable (if you want the HDR), Samsung UBD-K8500 4K Blu Ray Player (or similar Samsung UBD-KM85c will work too), and then a great 4K TV. I suggest going for OLED if you can afford it but if not LED. Preferably LG, SONY, or SAMSUNG (in that order too because LG's webOS software is second to none and their panels are amazing for gamers) And then you will see this movie in all it's hi-def glory! The movie is not the best super hero movie of the year (2016). That would go to DeadPool or even Civil War. But its pretty slick. Has a decent story. Great effects. And a pretty awesome soundtrack. You won't be disappointed in buying if you're a fan of DC.
