Excellent Package
on January 5, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
A great movie. It can be a little hammy and self-aggrandizing at times, but it's pure entertainment even for someone who couldn't care less about racing...what more can you ask for? The 4K may be an upscale, but it has its moments. Being shot digitally (and recently) the movie looks very attractive and while I couldn't try the Atmos, the 7.1 core was everything you could want from a soundtrack.

Tom Cruise never disappoints
on January 22, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
I can just about always count on Mr. Cruise to deliver an entertaining ride and American Made is no different. The Blu-ray isn't the best I've seen, but it gets the job done and could've turned out far worse. Get it on sale and it should be a nice addition to any collection.

Was expecting far less
on January 22, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really wasn't expecting much from this film, but after getting it on a pretty great deal for Black Friday, I was pleasantly surprised. It was ridiculous but thoroughly entertaining. The Blu-ray release was as good as I would expect from a modern movie, which is to say great.

A decent little thriller
on January 22, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
M. Night's "Unbreakable" trilogy seems to be rather underrated and actually was surprisingly good. Glass does a nice job wrapping it all up and on a pretty thin budget. As a new movie, the 4K release doesn't provide quite the dramatic improvement of older movies, but is nice to have nonetheless.

Good movie, surprising 4K release
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
Normally I don't go for upscaled 4K releases since they generally don't provide enough improvement for the money, but this is one of the few that easily bests the 1080p Blu-ray. Color and detail are, most notably, compression are all noticeably improved across the board.

A good release, but room for improvement
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
Die Hard is one of my favorite movies of all time and a classic action movie. Fox's 4K restoration is excellent (particularly any instance of fire) but the audio track could've stood to feature a restoration as well. Regardless, this is a good release, particularly if you can find it on sale.

Another great restoration
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's always nice to see studios give the classics high quality restorations and The Shining is no different. This is also one of the few releases to include a remastered 1080p Blu-ray as well which is always welcome.

![Alien - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/e203303a-88da-42e6-ae85-8e0c1f58d3ae.jpg)
The one that started it all! Experience the terror - from the beginning - with the first chilling chapter of the Alien saga, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout performance as Ripley. When the crew of the space-tug Nostromo responds to a distress signal from a barren planet, they discover a mysterious life form that breeds within human hosts. The acid-blooded extraterrestrial proves to be the ultimate adversary as crew members battle to stay alive and prevent the deadly creature from reaching Earth.

A true classic looking better than ever
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the improvements in Fox's excellent 4K remaster of Alien is a little more subtle than most native 4K transfers I've seen, it does provide a very nice upgrade. While the director's cut is spliced together with some non-native 4K footage, I prefer to watch the theatrical cut anyway. Always loved this classic and it's wonderful to have a high quality 4K release.

An excellent restoration
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
A classic movie receives the respect it deserves with a fantastic release from Sony. While it doesn't include a remastered Blu-ray, the 4K restoration is better in every way. As a native 4K release, this one actually provides a noticeably better presentation and I'm very happy with the results.

You'll dodge, duck, dip, dive... and laugh out loud watching Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller settle their differences in a winner-take-all dodgeball competition.

Decent BD release for a classic comedy
on December 9, 2019
Posted by: ajfam
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes, Dodgeball is a dumb-funny movie. I'm not often one for comedies, but this is a classic. Somehow it works and I still find it amusing today. The BD release is about as good as one would expect for this film. It's by no means "pretty," but is a substantial upgrade over the DVD.
