Quality Transfer for a Quality Film
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m assuming if you’re looking at this review, you’ve already seen the movie. However, indulge me for a minute. Even though the MCU is close to 15 movies beyond Winter Soldier (as of the time of writing), it still ranks as one of the greatest achievements of the genre, featuring some of the most visceral action in the series highlighted by an emotional narrative. Disney’s 4K transfers for the catalog MCU titles aren’t anything revelatory, but they’re a step up from the Blu-ray for sure. Colors pop and extra detail is noticable. Slipcovers aren’t a guarantee with this release, but I was able to score one, so I was happy about that.

Winner of four Academy Awards-including Best Picture (the first non-English-language recipient) and Director-Bong Joon-Ho's genre-bending social satire follows the family of teenager Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-Shik), who were just scraping by in the Seoul slums before he lucked into a position as tutor to a wealthy businessman's daughter (Jung Ji-So). It isn't long before the Kims have connived three more household positions working for the Park clan... but the fates conspire to derail their gravy train in shocking ways. Co-stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: Korean DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English; interview. Two-disc set. In Korean with English subtitles.

A Great Transfer of a Great Movie
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
While Parasite's initial home video release did not include a 4K copy, I'm so glad I waited for this to come out. The picture looks great, and the movie itself is incredible. I wish there were more special features, but it is what it is. If you already bought the blu-ray, I'm sure if it's truly worth the upgrade. But, if you have yet to buy the movie, then this is definitely worth it, especially with the current Black Friday price.

Incredible Games; Just Know What You're In For
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
With this game, just know what you’re in for. These aren’t from the ground up remakes like Crash, Spyro or Tony Hawk. However, I personally don’t think the games needed that. The unfortunate reality is that, for how much these games go for nowadays (Sunshine being around $70 on its own), this is the most convenient and affordable way to play all three games. I had a blast replaying all three. Sure, the $60 price tag hurt at first, and it does feel pretty lazy on Nintendo’s part. But, when you’re talking about three of the best games in Mario’s catalog (yes, even Sunshine), being able to play all three portably really made it worth it.

An achievement in filmmaking and restoration
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
Man, this movie is great. While the film has plenty of surprises for the viewer, I actually find it’s a movie where it’s better to know more about it going in. There’s a lot of weird, surreal imagery which could leave the viewer puzzled on first watch, but the themes of where mankind has been and where we could be headed will cause anybody to stop and wonder. The 4K transfer looks incredibly. The movie is half a century old and it looks like it could’ve come out in the last decade (compared to other movies form the last decade that were shot on film).

The one that started it all! Experience the terror - from the beginning - with the first chilling chapter of the Alien saga, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout performance as Ripley. When the crew of the space-tug Nostromo responds to a distress signal from a barren planet, they discover a mysterious life form that breeds within human hosts. The acid-blooded extraterrestrial proves to be the ultimate adversary as crew members battle to stay alive and prevent the deadly creature from reaching Earth.

Great Transfer; Be Mindful of the Artwork
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
While I’m more of an Aliens fan, Alien is still a film everybody should see at least once in their life. The 4K transfer of the movie really makes the lived-in universe of the Nostromo pop. When I originally picked the film up, the red order pick-up sticker pealed away the art of the slipcover, but exchanging it for a new copy was pretty seamless. If you pick the movie up, it might be best to just do it in person, rather than ordering it online for pick-up.

The film that started the "summer blockbuster" trend, director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel is a masterpiece of action and suspense. The New England resort town Amity Island is terrorized by a man (and woman)-eating great white shark, and it's up to the local police chief (Roy Scheider), a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss), and a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) to stop the feeding frenzy. With Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton; features a classic score by John Williams. 124 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos, DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, DTS Surround mono, French DTS HD High Resolution Audio 7.1, DTS 5.1, Spanish DTS 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurettes; deleted scenes; outtakes; storyboards; photo gallery; theatrical trailer; 44-page booklet. Two-disc set.

A Perfect Restoration
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
THIS is how you restore a film to 4K. I love seeing older movies re-released on 4K, but not every transfer is a home run (e.g. Terminator 2). The blu-ray version of Jaws already looks great, but this 4K edition really transports the viewer back to the summer of 1975 when the shark first dominated theaters. The movie itself is a classic; and I’m sure you’re not reading this for a review of the film. Grain is intact but not overbearing, and the balance of the iconic sound effects and John William’s masterful score is perfect. I would highly recommend picking this up.

Solid Film; Decent Transfer
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie itself is really entertaining. I know for some, getting past Daniel Craig’s southern accent will be difficult, but I got past it. The writing keeps you on your toes, and I was personally guessing until the end. The 4K copy of the movie isn’t a huge jump in quality from the blu-ray. However, it goes on sale often enough to where it might be worth getting the 4K version just for that slight, incremental difference.

Great version of a Fun Movie
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
Who would've thought that Bad Boys for Life would be the height of the theatrical movie experience for 2020...
While they are enjoyable, I’ve never been a huge fan of the Bad Boys franchise. However, this one is probably the best of the bunch. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are still incredibly fun to watch together, and the film actually allows the characters to mature and age. This 4K version of the movie benefits from some IMAX enhancements not found on the blu-ray. If you have a 4K set-up, this version of the movie is definitely worth it.

One of the Best Movies of the Year
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: TYKB
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie won’t be for everyone, but I found it to be a great throwback to 1930s horror, as well as a great dive into isolation and insanity. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are both the best they’ve ever been. I wish there was a 4K copy of this movie, but the blu-ray looks phenomenal as well.

Decent Game; Fantastic Delivery
on November 7, 2020

The game itself is fine. If you're into the Dynasty Warriors games, then this one will be right up your alley. The condition of the game was flawless. I got it on clearance, so a brand new 3DS game for only $5 was definitely worth it.
