F9: The Fast Saga - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

While Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew might have had their eyes on anonymous retirement, he hadn't counted on the determination that thwarted terrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) had for vengeance, or the stunning alliance she'd strike to get it-with Toretto's long-embittered assassin kid brother Jakob (John Cena). Ninth installment in the high-endurance action franchise co-stars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Kurt Russell, and Helen Mirren. PG-13-rated version; 142 min./Unrated director's cut; 149 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great Upgrade for An Underseen Classic

on November 3, 2021

Posted by: Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes

Excellent transfer and very noticeable upgrade over the blu-ray. Lots of film grain, which is exactly as it should be. Sony continues to do justice to it's titles on this format.

The movie's reputation itself precedes it: a smart, deliberate sci-fi noir. Can't go wrong on this one.

Outstanding Disc for a Colorful, Magical Musical

on November 3, 2021

Posted by: Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes

Excellent musical that just flies by, and a perfect showcase for the format. If you're a fan of Hamilton, it's a no-brainer that you should enjoy this movie and the 4K disc is the perfect showcase given how much color and motion is in this (the HBO stream just doesn't quite hold up)

Best Transfer from Shout's Recent Halloween 4K's

on November 3, 2021

Posted by: Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes

Not my favorite of the Halloween films, but it IS my favorite of the recent Shout Halloween UHDs. A really great transfer all-around; particularly noticeable are the colors of the famous masks. If you don't already own Shout's steelbook and are a fan of the movie, it's definitely worth the price of admission.

A Must-Watch for Action Junkies

on November 3, 2021

Posted by: Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes

The movie is a wonderful actioner in the vein of something like John Wick. Its action stands apart as it's slightly more grounded and workman-like (Bob Odenkirk really gives his all, doing the lions share of his own stunts and selling everything perfectly), but it comes from the same screenwriter as the Wicks and does share some familiar story beats. IMO a worthy addition in the recent wave of solid Hollywood action.

The disc itself has a nice transfer that won't wow quite as much as the movie does, but it appears to honor its source and intended aesthetics. Some fun special features showcasing Odenkirk and the stunt team's dedication.

Must-Own Upgrade

The 4K HDR transfer looks outstanding and is the best home video version of this classic, easily besting the blu-ray. Grain is appropriately present and the colors are well-saturated.

Solid Upgrade of a Stone-Cold Classic

on November 3, 2021

Posted by: Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes

An outstanding transfer and overall package for a stone-cold classic that's marred by poor compression (especially noticeable on my 65in screen in skies/walls). Overall I still found this to be a major improvement over previous blu-rays, and even slightly improved over the Lionsgate 4K.
