A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

Special Effects Really POP!
on February 18, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very SFX heavy movie, and HD Blu-Ray really brings them to the fore. Visually stunning, and a fun flick overall. Good sound, too.

Fine Representation of a Great Flick
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was this a bargain! I paid like $5 for one of the greatest films of all time, in a beautiful production. Crisp and clean visuals, great sound, just a marvel. A little light on extra features compared to other packages, but that definitely won't detract from someone who just wants to enjoy this masterpiece of a war movie on its own merits.

Decent Entry in the Toy Story Universe
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
Beautiful presentation in terms of resolution and sound- it's just clearly the weakest installment of the Toy Story franchise. It clearly lacks the heart and humor of the others. Worth watching, but don't break your leg to do so...
Still, it's a superb Blu-Ray package.

Darn fine transfer

This film looks great on 4K high def, and you will definitely notice and appreciate the improved sound quality during the gunfight scenes.

Gorgeous Monsters

Verified Purchase:Yes
A very slick, Hollywood realization of the classic Kaiju from Tokyo. Blu ray really does the detail and definition of this film justice.

A Beautiful Reproduction of a Modern Classic
on February 7, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
Simply gorgeous to look at- this film's 4K reproduction really brings out the sensational resolution and vibrant colors this wonderful film deserves. My Wife was stunned at how much clearer and striking this film's picture is compared to the previous Toy Story offerings, which in all fairness were previously filmed for watching on DVD or worse.

Classic Movie- just "okay" resolution
on February 3, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this flick, but as for the realization of it on blu-ray... well, you get what you pay for. VERY grainy in some places- especially at the beginning. You'll KNOW you're watching a movie from almost 40 years ago. It's practically begging for a remastering. Sound was "meh" too.

Fantastic Film with a Great Packaging
on January 9, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film itself is brilliant; that goes without saying. Its presentation here, with fine sound and picture resolution definitely does it justice. And the steelbook format of the packaging is almost always my preferred,not only because of the durability, but because it just looks so damned COOL.

Son Loves It
on January 6, 2020
Posted by: roadtripper
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my son; he enjoys it, but most of his time is spent on Fortnite (no surprise there). Nevertheless, this game is simply GORGEOUS in HD and the PS4 engine really makes the graphics pop.

Watch movies at home on this Sony 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. It plays video from nearly any type of disc or file format and displays images in crisp detail and vivid color, creating an immersive experience with life-like visuals. This Sony 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player also connects to your Wi-Fi for convenient video streaming.
 

Will this work with a HD (but not 4kHD) television?

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.
 

Our TV only has two HDMI ports, and both are in use. If this player cannot accept input, then there can be no pass through, right? TIA.

Back when I owned a flatscreen TV with only two HDMI jacks, I bought a "splitter" type deal. You plug the HDMI splitter into one of your open jacks, then plug up to two HDMI plugs into the splitter. That will enable you to add your extra device: only pain is you have to press a little button on the splitter to switch between the two devices you have plugged into it- it doesn't flip automatically. I'm sure they're still available.

This collection features Sylvester Stallone in his iconic performances as Rocky Balboa from the original Rocky to Rocky Balboa (six movies total).
 

Does this Rocky collection come with a digital code?

Unfortunately, no.

Still great quality picture and sound, though. Well worth the $30 I paid for it!

Will this ever go back on sale I want one so bad

I of course can't speak for Best Buy's sales department, but as a LOOOONG time shopper of their products, I can darn well guarantee it will go back on sale at some point. I almost bought this title when it was going for $35: a week later, it dropped by $10!

Keep an eye out for holiday sales: Memorial Day, Easter, Xmas, etc.

Is this SQUARE aka "full screen" or is this widescreen format?

Widescreen, all the way, as it should be.

Does this include the Digital Copy?

No, it doesn't. I suppose that's why it cost only $14.99 when I bought it. But strangely enough, "Toy Story 3", which I bought at the same time, DOES come with the Digital Code, and costs the same!

How do you redeem the digital copy? Is it through google play or what? What service provides the digital copy?

Go to moviesanywhere.com and register there. It's easy and very convenient. Plug in the code and you'll have the film saved to your library, which you'll be able to access on any device (laptop, desktop, phone) you care to log into. Cool.

Is this disc scratched or cracked in any way? Is it glitchy? Or is it in good condition to run perfectly fine?

No problems with the disk we got. In fact, I can't remember ever purchasing a video game (brand new, anyway) that had the kind of defect you describe. If this happened to you, I presume you took it back?

Just plug in your USB, or USB-esque plug. The jack is right on the side, above the other jacks (HDMI, A/V, etc.)
