Close to returning it as 3D disc didn’t have Atmos
on April 15, 2020
Posted by: ArtJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
-Feature: Decided to give it a try despite my summary title. There’s things I enjoyed & some I didn’t.
Pros: 3D; Average medium level. Sound; Lots of low end sub frequencies. Slipcover; Yes.
Cons: Sound; 5.1 rather than 7.1 or better yet Atmos in 3D disc. Have not tested 2D disc w/ Atmos as it’s annoyingly having to watch again for sound testing purpose instead of just incorporating Atmos in their 3D disc like others do. It’s not going to encourage me to buy the 4K when my main preference is 3D. Combo; No 3D/4K. Digital Copy; Yes but no full version with Atmos & Vision.

-Movie: 3D was so minimal that I caught myself saying if it was even worth making it & releasing it in this format. Luckily I got it for $5.
Pros: Sound: 7.1 surround Digital Copy: Yes Awesome deal for a 3D title.
Cons: Movie lacked a great storyline. 3D low to no 3D effect & that’s on an OLED where 3D shines! No Dolby Vision/Atmos digital copy upgrade. Could have been released with Atmos for being a 2016 flick. No slipcover or steel case.

- Movie: I give it a 5 out of 10. It’s more of a rent & watch once than a keepsake title. Nothing that stands out. Engaging however. I’m not a fan of super hero movies & only made an exception due to 3D. - Sound: 7.1 via DTS Neural:X up mix. Nothing to brag about. - 3D: medium level.
Pros: 3D availability.
Cons: No digital copy upgrade to 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision. No Atmos. No 3D/4k combo. No slipcover or steel case.

————————————Pros————————————— (Picture) Look impressive on a well calibrated OLED, 4k upscale via Oppo. Digital Copy. Slipcover.
————————————Cons———————————— Felt like the movie was an after though. Didn’t feel like a rate R, more like a PG-13 one.
(Sound) Atmos effects were not as great as the Atmos on the Creations, Conjuring 2 or Llorona even on a well calibrated 7.2.4. The sound this time around was unbalanced. Some effects were too loud over everything else like when little box closes on its own. The dialog was too low & had to crank it up a few decibels, 2-4. Some height channel scenes didn’t make sense like some door knock came out of the ceiling speakers instead of the sides as character turned. The only height sound that was projected correctly was the doorbells rings. The sounds was clean & low was fine however.

A bit of a downgrade from the first but just a bit
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: ArtJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Movie: Almost right up there with the first.
————————————Pros————————————— (Picture) Look impressive on a well calibrated OLED, 4k upscale via Oppo. (Sound) Grateful for Atmos on Blu since UHD is unavailable & was superb on a well calibrated 7.2.4. Lots of great height realist action & 360 panning surround scenes. Lenticular Slipcover.
————————————Cons———————————— Was unnecessarily stretched out too long and as a result lost its momentum towards the middle after the over exposure of the old man & it’s weak CGI character. No Digital Copy. No 4K.
