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.

Once I found out Flash Gordon was getting a 4k release, I knew I had to have it. I was not disappointed! The colors jump off the screen and the audio is superb. If you loved the movie from your youth, do yourself a favor and pick this up!

First off, I was a PlayStation man until my boys talked me into getting a 360 back in '08. Kinda fell in love with it and it made this purchase a little easier. Great gaming console, but color is a little off on streaming and disc play. Overall would recommend highly.

Who will save the Earth after huge alien spacecraft demolish the Empire State Building, the White House, downtown Los Angeles, and most of the world's major cities? How about a brave Marine pilot (Will Smith), a brilliant cable TV technician (Jeff Goldblum), and the U.S. president (Bill Pullman), who must all work together to coordinate a daring offensive to stop the invasion on the 4th of July? The smash-hit mixture of sci-fi thrills and disaster movie dramatics also stars Robert Loggia, Margaret Colin, Vivica A. Fox, and Randy Quaid. 145 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles English, Spanish; audio commentary. Two-disc set.

Great alien invasion in 4k!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Although it can be hokie in some aspects, ID is a great flick, especially if you're a sci fi junkie. Color looks great with 4k, as well as the added clarity. The best point of this 4k copy is that the extended edition is also mastered in 4k...not something you see often with 4k movies that have extended editions or a director's cut included. Also nice that it was on sale as part of a 2 movie for $20 sale at BB...saved over $14 on both. Would definitely recommend.

Interstellar opens on Earth in the distant future, as Mother Nature is waging war on humanity. Famine is widespread, and all of mankind's resources are now dedicated to farming in a desperate fight for survival. A former NASA pilot and engineer named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) has become a homesteader in order to support his teenage son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy). Unfortunately, even that begins to look like a futile endeavor after a sandstorm ravages their close-knit community. Meanwhile, a seemingly supernatural mystery begins to unfold when the InchghostInch that dwells in Murph's room sends her a mysterious set of coordinates - which lead the curious father/daughter duo to a clandestine underground base housing the remnants of NASA. There, renowned physicist Professor Brand (Michael Caine) has been working with a team of astronauts and scientists to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life. Brand quickly persuades Cooper to pilot a mission that will hopefully carry the seeds of human life to a habitable planet in another galaxy. Cooper is soon bound for space with Brand's daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and researchers Doyle (Wes Bentley) and Romilly (David Gyasi).

Good 4k version, but....

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie, so jumped at the chance to get the 4k copy. The 4k version looks crisp and clear, but really not much better than the HD streaming versions I've seen. There's a video on YouTube titled "Why older movies look better in 4k than newer ones." Good video that gives the technical reasons why. Major complaint about all versions of this movie I've seen is that the vocal tracks are recorded incredibly low. Overall, I would still recommend for your collection.

Classic movie in 4k!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Recently purchased a 4k system and have started upgrading my library. Pulled the trigger and it didn't disappoint. The upgraded clarity really stands out and the HDR really makes the color pop. The effects stand up well, although the plasma streams look minutely outdated. Not enough to distract from the overall viewing experience, though. I would highly recommend this title for anyone looking to upgrade.

Any man my age will remember Jonny Quest and that iconic opening intro that still gives me chills! Episodes like Turu the Terrible, The Robot Spy, and The Invisible Monster were engrained into my childhood. This collection gives you the chance to relive the entire series and recall the old days of Saturday mornings when they weren't filled with educational programming like today, just pure old fashioned fun!

Excellent purchase for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded my tv last August, a 65 inch LG sk8000pua with an X Box One X. Perfectly happy with this setup until suggested videos on YouTube started popping up concerning problems with the One X as a blu ray/4k player. Started watching and after many videos and related articles, this seemed to be a valid concern. Started research into a possible stand alone player and this one kept showing up. After many glowing reviews, mostly about performance and price, I made the purchase.
The most notable thing out of the box about this player is the size, smaller than most. That can be said of the remote as well. Comparably small next to my other remotes. No display on the front panel, but I can live with that. It as a plastic door that drops down as the disc tray ejects...seems a little flimsy. The amount of apps available is disappointing. Only useful ones are Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Where this player really shines is playing discs. As with all 4k devices, it takes awhile to get the settings down to your liking. Once I did with the tv and this player, the difference from the X Box was like night and day! Crisper picture, deeper and richer colors as well. It also upscaled content so it breathes life back into your old library.
One of the points to buying this player was being Dolby Vision compatible. I've noticed that while while watching content in Dolby Vision, the color and picture seemed slightly washed out. A friend of mine who works at a major online electronics retailer explained that today's tv's aren't fully capable to reproduce the DV signal. Believe me, that's just fine because HDR-10 works just as well, in my opinion.
Don't shy away from checking to see if this player is available on open box. I got mine for $120 and I consider that a steal.
I would highly recommend this player, especially if you are using a console for streaming or watching content on discs...you will not be disappointed!

Waiting for Iron Man 4k

Verified Purchase:Yes
Recently purchased a Sony 4k player and wanted to start upgrading my library. Shopped my local Best Buy and made this purchase. Like the title says, I wanted the 4k version, but I believe that will be released in August. The main reason for the purchase is that I didn't have a physical copy and it has very limited runs on streaming services...less now since Disney is moving all its content to its own streaming service.
No problems with the picture quality. The 4k player upscaled the picture and that's a big plus.
I would definitely recommend this product, but if you want the 4k version, just wait till August.

A must for Game of Thrones fans
on May 21, 2019

from Big Stone Gap, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Game of Thrones is one of the greatest shows in television history (not counting Season 8) and the 4k release of Season 1 doesn't disappoint. Originally around the $50 mark at its release, I ordered it from Best Buy for $24.99...prompt 2 day delivery as well.
GoT 4k is one of the handful of releases that are Dolby Vision compatible. Recently purchased a Sony UGP-x700 to play Dolby Vision content. Set it up and watched a few episodes and I noticed the Dolby Vision seemed to make the picture slightly washed out, as compared to running it in HDR-10. A friend of mine that works for a major online electronic retailer explained that today's tv's aren't totally capable of matching what Dolby Vision puts out, saying DV can output X amount of nits of brightness and current tv's brightness levels fall short of being able to handle it. I found that switching to HDR provides a great picture, with the colors jumping out of the screen.
I would definitely recommend this to any GoT fan who is looking to upgrade their library to 4k.

Great overall picture, but has some problems with motion being slightly choppy. Problem with blooming with Xbox One X I have connected. Overall, would recommend this for the cost, but if I had to do over, would probably choose the 9000 series which has full array backlighting.

When the ps5 will restock?

BB says they're in stock but when you order, it gives you a pick up date which is in no way reliable. Mine was due to be picked up last Friday and it still says its delayed. Also the delay email came with a disclaimer...if it can't be fulfilled by December 30th, the order will be canceled.

Add functionality to your home theater with this powerful Klipsch sound bar. The built-in Dolby Digital Decoder, HDMI connections and additional drivers bring reference-quality audio to your system. This Klipsch sound bar comes with a subwoofer and delivers surround-style sound without the bulk and clutter of multiple speakers and components.
 

My soundbar keeps turning up to the maximum volume at random times. Anyone know why and how to prevent this from happening.

If you haven't already, download and install the firmware update.
