Robert Redford hits a grand slam as Roy Hobbs, a mysterious rookie baseball player whose out-of-this-world slugging abilities bring the lowly New York Knights out of the cellar in the late 1930s. Haunted by his past, Hobbs struggles with personal and professional ups and downs, including a bribe to throw the entire season. Director Barry Levinson's lyrical take on Bernard Malamud's novel co-stars Robert Duvall, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger. Theatrical version; 137 min./Director's cut; 144 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great movie, nice upgrades

Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s hard to review this movie because it is shot, and meant to look like it’s from the early days of baseball. Still looks pretty good though, nice HDR improvements

This is the last good Batman movie from that era. After this, they went with that god awful Mr. freeze ensemble. This movie looks great and the sound is excellent

Excellent war epic movie, Nice 4k hdr

Verified Purchase:Yes
This definitely looks pretty good compared to the Blu-ray version. It’s an older movie, from the 80s, but it still has pretty good sound and nice crisp visuals.

Great new version, same great nostalgia

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is fantastic, if you haven’t seen it I definitely recommend watching it. The 4K version is pretty good, not quite as good as a brand new movie that was shot in 4K though. Sounds is pretty nice, black levels are good too

Good 4k transfer for a classic
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: Carbon
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s always hard to review these old movies that have been released on Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray. However, the sound has definitely improved and Stanley Kubrick‘s masterful cinematography looks better than ever. The limited edition steel book is a nice touch too

Nice transfer to Blu Ray
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: Carbon
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn’t expecting much when I purchased this as far as an improvement in audio and video, but I was definitely wrong. There is a surprisingly good video transfer that clears up a lot of the old stuff that I noticed on my DVD version. Overall a great release.

Classic movie with a nice 4k upgrade
on September 3, 2019
Posted by: Carbon
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all this is an old movie, so it may not be as much of a dramatic upgrade to 4K. However, the sound is definitely nice and there are some improvements throughout. This particular version includes so much in the way of extras that it’s almost too much. All in all, definitely a good buy for somebody who is a fan of this movie, this is the version to get.

Classic movie with a visual and audio improvement

Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s definitely an improvement from the old Blu-ray release, still it’s not exactly a new movie so don’t expect ridiculously crisp visuals. The audio was pretty good however, overall definitely the best version of this movie.
