Good story line and 4K upscaling looks great, no need to pay for the 4K version. Nice clean picture on 55” Sony XBR 55X900 TV

My LG 4K UBK80 BR player on LG 65” C7 oled TV looks great with Blu-ray disks, and terrible with DVD’s, so forced to buy all my favorite movies in Blu-ray format as the 4K upscaling on DVD’s is cringeworthy.
Count of Monte Cristo is a great movie with a great picture on my setup

Director/star Mel Gibson took home Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards for this historical epic about 13th-century Scottish hero William Wallace, a farmer of lesser nobility, who is forced into fighting the forces of England's King Edward I after they kill his father and new wife. Highlighted by amazing battle scenes, the passionate saga, based on a 15th-century poem, also stars Patrick McGoohan, Sophie Marceau, Angus Macfadyen, Brendan Gleeson, and Catherine McCormick. 177 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Three-disc set.

Worth the money

Viewed on LG C7 OLED and the LG UBK90 4K Blu-ray player, I say this because I've played 4K movies on my Sony 900 and the Sony 800 4K player, and they weren't near as good, I'm going to do a head to head comparison to see if the experience is as good on it.
The background is absolutely stunning at times. There are shallow depths of field for some scenes, where you might question things, but this is filming. Actor/actresses have varying levels of sharpness (hair detail is good, actor complexion not as crisp, but I think that is too be expected, and the levels of detail vary across different scenes. Costumes (sackcloth, tartans and etc) are very good.
Overall, the 4K brings a new viewing experience to a movie I've seen probably 50 times or better. It brought back the joy of seeing the movie for the first time.

Three-disc set includes Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) A research scientist (James Franco) tests a drug on a group of chimpanzees, greatly increasing their intelligence before he's forced to put them all down. That is, all but Caesar (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance), one of the test subjects' offspring, whose enhanced brain capacity enables him to lead his fellow primates in a violent revolution against humanity. Provocative reboot of the classic sci-fi film series also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow. 105 min. C/Rtg PG-13 Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Ten years after a devastating virus wiped out much of humanity, a small band of survivors in San Francisco has established an uneasy peace with chimpanzee Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis who also supplies his voice) and his community of intelligent apes who live in the nearby Muir Woods. But co-existence may be ultimately out of reach as members of both species seem bound and determined to make war. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell co-star in this hit sequel. 130 min. C/Rtg PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates. As the war reaches it's apex, the virus that decimated much of humanity begins to cause some of the remaining survivors to slowly devolve into more primitive creatures. With Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller.

Awesome series

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice to have the trilogy, Rise was good, Dawn was better and War was the best of the trilogy. Would rank just behind the Batman triology, with War coming in behind The Dark Knight, as far as individual movies. I had previously purchased War, but the trilogy was a few dollars cheaper than buying Rise and Dawn individually.

Sequel not as good as the original

Once again Hollywood disappoints. Loved the original, the sequel, not so much.
The novelty wore off after the original, sequel storyline just didn’t leave anticipating more. Marvel seems on pumping out movies, living off the original movies.

Enjoyable 4K experience

Verified Purchase:Yes
Started watching the movie on a flight, but didn’t get to finish it, thus prompting the purchase. Like the movie. My biggest complaint is that it isn’t apparently true 4K, apparently it was mastered in 2K, like many of the Marvel comic movies, per the web. First started questioning 4K with Saving Private Ryan on my Sony X900E TV and Sony UBP-X800 4K Blu-Ray player w 4K HDMI cable, I was expecting an exceptional picture, Saving Private Ryan disappointed big time. Thor is much better, not sure how many 4K movies I’ll be buying, as the Blu-ray on a 4K upscaling player is a very impressive picture on my LG C7 and the LG UBK90 4K player.
Good movie, recommend. 4K vs Blu-ray format, jury is still out.
