The creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky Addams family is back in a hilarious sequel that finds Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcoming new son Pubert into the world, Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) getting hitched to the baby's new conniving nanny (Joan Cusack), and Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) disrupting a happy summer camp. Co-stars Carel Struycken, Carol Kane; directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

It's hard to improve upon such a great Pixar film, but in 4K it looks even better!

Best made streamer on the market!

This is a very well built product with great features. The video performance is spectacular and the audio is good too (if not playing Dolby Atmos it plays the PCM audio tracks in 5.1 from streaming sites and will not play Dolby Digital Plus--although it sounds very good, so I have no complaints there). Has a strong gaming oriented selection of apps and not nearly as many movie and TV oriented apps as Roku, but it has more than enough of these movie and TV apps to please most people greatly. It's a very good product.

The Wizard of Oz has never looked better!
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: MrBob
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new 4K UHD bluray of The Wizard of Oz looks spectacular! The vibrancy of the colors and the improved detail are amazing to see. This is the oldest film to yet be given the full 4K treatment and it proves just what a phenomenal difference 4K can make, even with a title from so long ago. With films from this period of time, film grain must of course be contended with. The grain varies, becoming more or less prevalent from scene to scene, but the overall image upgrade more than makes up for it in every way. They have really pulled out all the stops for the edition, including an upgraded soundtrack and even the inclusion of Dolby Vision HDR encoding! If you love this film, like so many millions over the years have, this is without question the finest this film has ever looked. If you have a 4K TV with HDR at home (and a 4K bluray player), it would be criminal to purchase any other edition of this beloved classic.

The best I've ever seen this classic look!

The new 4K UHD bluray of Apocalypse Now looks nothing short of spectacular! I have seen this movie many, many times over the years, but this was like watching it for the first time all over again! A dramatic upgrade in both picture and sound, this set actually includes ALL THREE versions of the film in full 4K with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos sound, the original theatrical version, Apocalypse Now: Redux and the new Apocalypse Now: final Cut--all for this one great price! This is really an unbelievably great Value. The newest cut (the Final Cut) is my favorite cut of this film yet. This is the version Francis Ford Coppola prefers himself and I agree with him completely. If you love this movie and have a 4K TV and 4K bluray player, you owe it to yourself to get this disc! You will not be disappointed!

Rarely a bad burn with these discs. Very reliable.
on September 3, 2019
Posted by: MrBob
Verified Purchase:Yes
I now buy these exclusively over the cheaper "bargain" discs. Have had too many defective burns whenever I've used the cheaper discs. Threw so many bad burns on cheaper discs away they really didn't save me money. And I wasted my time making those bad burns, and used up some of my burner's lifespan on them. I rarely get a bad burn with these discs and don't have to worry if the burn will come out alright; it almost always does. And how much is that sort of peace of mind worth? At least the small difference in price between these and the so called "bargain" discs to me. A great product for the money.

Toy Story 3 looks great in 4K!
on July 29, 2019
Posted by: MrBob
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Toy Story films have become family classics over the years. The upgrade to 4K UHD bluray with HDR (High Dynamic Range) makes Toy Stor 3 look better than it's ever looked before (even on the big screen in theaters). Having additional years under their belt, Pixars animation in this third installment in this series is better than the previous films.

Still a great movie!

I hadn't seen Field of Dreams in very many years and the new 4k UHD bluray gave me a great excuse to get around to watching it again. Although I found the 4K image to be plagued by a high degree of film grain (par for the course with many movies made in it's era, I guess), the color, brightness, texture were all quite good. And the movie was as wonderful and moving as I remembered it. Time has not diminished it's power to touch people. I watched it with a few friends (one of which had, amazingly, never seen it before!) and we all loved it. This film, along with Dances with Wolves, are without a doubt Kevin Costner's two very finest films in my book. Nobody in the room was without a case of watery while eyes watching the incredibly beautiful and emotionally moving ending to this film. I've seen movies that make people cry from grief and sadness, but this is one of the rare few examples of cinema that make people cry from a happy feeling that life is beautiful beyond compare. If you want to see a movie that makes you feel for a time that all is very right with the world, I couldn't recommend a better example than the classic Field of Dreams.
