Great Movie, But Terrible 4K Disney Audio!
on August 19, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think my review summary says it all. This is an outstanding, fun Marvel adventure to go on. You'll have lots of laughs with this one. Video looks great in 4K, but sadly the Dolby Atmos track is weak and you really need to crank your surround systems up to appropriately hear the oomph in this one. Sad! I hope Disney improves these releases. The 4K disc's menu volume will blow you away, but not the film's audio itself.

Loving The Steelbook Design of This 4K Set!
on August 19, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was hopped up on the release of the brand new Tomb Raider this year and quite frankly I could not say no to how darn sexy this exclusive Best Buy 4K steelbook looked. Coupled with the right price and it was a no-brainer purchase for me. I can't help it. I'm a sucker for a hot heroine and Jolie proves she has all the right goods here in 4K UHD. Audio and video are decent, but it's only a minor 4K upgrade here. For fans only!

Jolie Still Looking Good After All These Years!
on August 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got to admit. I am not a huge fan of these older Tomb Raider movies, but hot darn is that Best Buy packaging and steelbook design sexy. That's what drew me in here coupled with my love of Lara Croft in general and I guess you can say I'm a born sucker who had to have this. The price was right too. Video and audio are decent, but nothing to write home about. It's just a minor, nice to have, 4K upgrade.

![Mission: Impossible 5: Rogue Nation - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/a17c3331-577b-47bb-9854-e24f4a9f0677.jpg)
Dazzling stunts and thrill-a-minute action highlight this exhilarating fifth chapter in the popular film franchise. When the Impossible Missions Force is disbanded by the government, veteran agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is joined by mysterious MI6 operative Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) as he tries to bring down the Syndicate, a shadowy and sinister espionage agency every bit as dangerous as the IMF.

One of the Best MI Films Now in 4K UHD!
on August 19, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation up until this year was my favorite of the series. I was so looking forward to checking out Rebecca Ferguson and her flowing yellow dress in stunning 4K video. Thankfully as usual Paramount's stunning 4K transfer did not let me down complete with the original Dolby Atmos surround track. The only bummer if there is one is the fact that there's no new bonus features whatsoever (only reason I gave it a 4). Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. Buy this one for the 4K presentation. Everything else has been released before.

One of 2018's Best in The Best 4K Steelbook Set!
on August 19, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I waited what seemed like an eternity for this title, but the wait was so worth it! The steelbook design is what instantly drew me to this purchase, but couple with how great this film is and you have a winner no questions asked. The Dolby Atmos surround sound is not the best I have heard on the format, but it is better than recent 4K releases like Last Jedi or Thor Ragnarok. The video, however, is pristine and clean and the set includes an audio commentary and an entertaining way to spend 40 minutes or so with all the bonus features. Recommended while this steelbook lasts!

Looks Great for a 4K That Cost Me $1825 Dollars!
on August 19, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I joke because picking up this 4K title actually cost me $1,825 dollars because I was too cheap to pay the $3.99 shipping charge. I ended up getting a rock through my expensive windshield :-( Ugh. But I digress. I watched this 4K disc yesterday and it was so worth it. Ha ha! The Dolby Atmos is better than most Disney 4K UHD releases, but the video was pristine and great looking. It's the movie that started it all and while a tad dated I still managed to have a great time with it all over again and wow what an amazing steelbook design complete with the logo being embossed on it.

Justice League 4K In Steel. What's Not To Like?
on March 21, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seriously. Okay. So the movie may not be something to write home about, but there's still Gal Gadot in it, not to mention the newest star of the JL...the Flash. The steelbook cover and design though is what sold me on this particular product over the regular release, well that and the 4K image/audio. For a complete writeup of my thoughts check out everything I have to say on the film, its audio/visual package and special features here http://whysoblu.com/justice-league-4k-uhd-blu-ray-review/

My Favorite Film of 2017 in a RAD 4K Steel Package
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
That's right this is my favorite film of 2014! Edgar Wright fires on all cylinders here in my opinion. It has everything from a heartwarming storyline to insane car chases and high octane action moments. The 4K video is pretty good, the audio is really good and the cover art on the 4K steelbook packaging is what instantly sold me on this.

Marvel's First New Spidey Film in 4K!
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I guess I am lukewarm with how I feel about the movie itself. The 4K package is pretty solid with great audio and near reference audio, but for me the biggest selling point here is the steelbook case and front/rear cover art on it. Oddly the glue from the cardboard on the steelbook took away some of the paint on it. Boo.

SCORE! All 3 Raimi Spidey Titles in Stunning 4K!
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: whysoblu
from Austin, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not know how great these would be, but I am glad I spent the money and brought this trilogy set home. They look amazing in 4K and even better they all three come remastered with a Dolby Atmos surround track. Let's just say the Green Goblin's glider really glides overhead if you know what I mean. And the digibook packaging is the icing on the cake with lots of info in the liner notes to make any Spidey fan happy. Highly recommended!
