PATHETIC EARTHLINGS... WHO CAN SAVE YOU NOW? Super producer Dino de Laurentiis (Dune, Barbarella) brought Alex Raymond's beloved cartoon strip and the long running movie serial to the big screen with celebrated director Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Black Rainbow) at the helm, in a delirious space opera, where Flash is King of the Impossible! Merciless Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) decides to wreak havoc on Earth in a moment of cruel boredom. Boarding a rocket as a means of escape, star quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) find themselves on Mongo. Taken prisoner Flash must save Dale from becoming Ming's concubine, avoid the amorous intention's of Ming's wicked daughter Aura (Ornella Muti) and unite the warring Kingdoms of Mongo. With endlessly repeatable dialogue, inimitable camp style, the sonic stylings of Queen and a delightful band of characters and actors playing them it's no wonder Flash Gordon has become one of the most beloved sci-fi spectacles of it's era with directors such as Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Seth MacFarlane paying tribute to it in their work.

Love the restoration on this beloved cult classic
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Bigdaddy1
Verified Purchase:Yes
Though it was released in 1980 , it has that 70’s softness that’s so prevalent in movies from that era. This isn’t a bad thing, just expect it.
The movie actually looks great.
DTS: sound , don’t expect anything booming with this one.

Enjoyed as though it was a modern movie

Beautiful image quality, to the point it feels as though it was shot recently.
It has Dolby Atmos, but I felt it could’ve been exploited more.

Better image quality than Sherlock Holmes
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Bigdaddy1
Verified Purchase:Yes
A great sequel, Ramos up the jeopardy , expands Holmes world , and amps up the danger.
Much better picture quality than Sherlock Holmes.
Aspect ratio is different then the first movie 2:40. Black bars
Wider shots , epic presentation.
DTS sound is strong

THERE'S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds it's own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

So glad Arrow is now in the 4k business
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Bigdaddy1
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great low budget sci-fi.
A slow burn, in a good way, allowing the audience to know the characters. Great build of storytelling.
HDR is greatly used on this one and the colors are beautiful. Picture was clear and mostly sharp, I seem to remember some soft areas.
DTS Sound is pretty strong but I wished it had Atmos

An underrated Marvel movie
on September 14, 2020
Posted by: Bigdaddy1
Verified Purchase:Yes
Steelbook - just Beautiful artwork on the front and back.
Sound - DTS . Although it doesn’t have Atmos, it’s fantastic and it’s easily the best sounding MCU.
Colors are absolutely beautiful without being cartoon-y.
HDR came in handy in the shadowy areas and the evening . Blacks are strong

Looked great in all formats
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: Bigdaddy1
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed the movie in the theaters, but I enjoyed it even more at home. The image quality was great on all 3 formats. It's a toss up between for 4k and 3D as to which is my favorite. Atmos was good not great. Because of the environment, I expected more from the overheads.
Very entertaining movie and I enjoyed the world building.

Just a well told story (I miss those). Great improvement over the other 4k release. This movie deserves the love that has been put into improving the 4k.
