Good movie looks fantastic on 4K UHD bluray!
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of Disney Animation's better recent films, Zootopia looks spectacular on 4K UHD bluray. The detail is sharper, but the added HDR and wider color gamut really make the image quality shine far beyond the conventional bluray. I'm very glad I purchased this disc.

The Long Dark Night episode without image issues!
on December 16, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Because of the internationally reported issues with compression artifacts rendering mush of The Long Dark Night episode impossible to see clearly, I opted for the 4K bluray to eliminate such artifacts. And it turned out to be the right decision. I got to see the episode clearly for the first time. This is how the fimal season should be viewed!

Not the best Toy Story, but still very good.
on November 1, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Toy Story 4 may not be the greatest of all Toy Story movies, but even the worst Toy Story film is still a good movie that is well worth the effort to see. The 4K UHD bluray looks spectacular, by the way--and it completes my entire 4K Toy Story collection. This has been a wonderful of films and I just love them. Hopefully you will too.

Wow! What an impressive conclusion to the Avengers franchise! They really pulled out all the stops and gave us the best film in the series to finish off with. Thank you Marvel for making this film even better than Infinity War and really delivering the goods!

Fantastic historical drama!
on August 20, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Glory is a phenomenally well done historical drama about the first unit of black Northern soldiers who fought in battle against Southern white troops during the American Civil war. The story and the the narration in the film are based upon the treasure trove of actual letters sent home to his mother by Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of this very first black combat unit. Everything from the excellent script to the superlative directing by Edward Zwick shine brightly in this movie. Numerous actors received academy award nominations--and deservedly so. If you are a history buff, or just a fan of extremely good films, this movie comes most highly recommended. The 4K Ultra High Definition bluray looks good, but ,unfortunately, films from this era exhibit a fair amount of film grain and this movie is no exception. The presentation otherwise looks good and the sound (including an exceptional music score) comes through magnificently. One critic called Glory "One of the best historical dramas ever filmed", and I can't dispute him on that. This is a beautifully made movie and a truly moving cinematic experience. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.

Steven Spielberg light.
on August 9, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film is set in a future world where life in the real world has become so dismal that everyone spends as much time as they can in virtual reality. The creator of the virtual world has died and left a challenge for all gamers which offers the prize of ownership and control of this virtual world. Loaded with an incredible number of Easter eggs (you'll see everything from the Iron Giant to the Back to the Future car to the space pods from 2001: A Space Odyssey populating this virtual world) and an insane amount of eye candy, but the characters are right out of a cookie-cutter and the story is pretty much standard fare. I tried to figure out the message of the film and it seems to basically be: Big business bad, little guy good. That's about as deep as this film gets. A great treat for your eyes and your ears with only a passable story. Entertaining once through, but not one of Spielberg's finest cinematic achievements.

Good series!

Although season six was not my favorite season of Orange is the New Black, all seasons of this very good show are well worth the view. The image and sound quality are great and I can't wait for the final season (season 7) to start running.

A moving true story of a love like no other.
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
from california
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Shadowlands" tells the true story of the most unlikely and unique love story imaginable, between the stodgy and ultra-reserved Oxford professor C.S. Lewis (the author of the beloved Narnia books) and the very outspoken, wisecracking and opinionated New York writer and poetess Joy Gresham. A more unlikely couple has never existed, but their incredible love story has been the subject of books, articles, plays, and now this very fine film. We ran this wonderful movie for room full of people of all different ages and sexes and when it was over, there wasn't a single dry eye in the house. "Shadowands" is an examination of the price we pay to love, of the sacrifices we make because of it, and the lasting impressions we leave behind with those with whom we share our love. You have never seen (or imagined possible) a love story like this one, and our world may never see another one like it. An absolutely fabulous movie that will open even the most jaded of hearts.

Classic Disney is even better in 4K!
on March 27, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
from california
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Little Mermaid looks great on 4K bluray! Not a massive uptick in sharpness (after all it's a series of drawings, how much detail is there?) but a definite improvement in color and in the richness of the image. The sound is good too, but it does fall a little bit short of the new soundtrack on The Lion King 4K bluray. Still, The Little Mernaid is a good purchase for any die-hard Disney fan with a 4K bluray player and 4K HDR TV.

Great close to the Planet of the Apes trilogy
on January 23, 2019
Posted by: BOBMAN
from california
Verified Purchase:Yes
This third. and concluding, installment of the new Planet of the Apes trilogy doesn't disappoint. It picks up very close to where the second movie left off, with the military troops who were on their way now in place fighting the apes under Caesar. Woody Harrelson joins the cast as the leader of the newly arrived troops--and an avid hater of Apes and the Mankind decimating plague he blames them for bringing (even though it was actually created by humanity). There is a new threat introduced in this film and it sets up exactly how the Earth is to become truly a planet of apes and not humans. I was so hoping that the final installment wouldn't fall flat and was very pleased with the movie that they gave us. It was exciting, heart rending at times, and tied up all the loose ends nicely. I would recommend this movie without hesitation to anyone who enjoyed the first two films. The filmmakers really pulled this off.
