This is one wild ride! It is a Batman anime. And they throw in everything and the kitchen sink from mech to samurais. At times, I absolutely loved it. At other times, I was wondering why they had thrown in things that didn't seem to fit (like the mech). But then, if you watch the special features you find out that there were different creators who contributed their visions, which explains why. The one director/writer was surprised by the addition of some things to the film. It is still quite a ride. I do recommend it. The style may be a bit jarring for some, but there is a lot here to enjoy. Best Buy had this on sale for under $10 on Blu-ray, which was too good to pass up.

I was very excited to see this film. I had been hoping to pick it up for a while, and then Best Buy had it on sale at a very reasonable price on 4K UHD Blu-ray, so I purchased it. The film took place in more of the game world (the Oasis) than I expected, which was somewhat of a disappointment. I felt it was difficult to connect to the characters since you're flung into that world very quickly. Plus, the concept isn't all that appealing to me on the surface. Still, it is quite a spectacle. There are so many pop culture icons in the film, so one will want to revisit the film just to see what was missed on previous viewings.
Also, this film is demo worthy for those with a Dolby Atmos system. The opening race sequence is what I used to demo my system, and it is truly amazing. So, if you have no other reason to watch or re-watch the film that may be the one reason to add it to your collection.

Predator had a tough time on the Blu-ray format, with mediocre picture quality releases, including the Ultimate Hunter Edition (aka Ultimate "DNR" Edition. The extras from the two-disc special edition DVDs were there, but the picture quality was lacking. Now, Predator comes to 4K UHD, and it looks fantastic! Finally! The home video presentation we have been waiting to have in our collections.

I enjoy many of director Ridley Scott's films. This is one I had not seen, so I picked up the Director's Cut at Best Buy for an incredible price on Blu-ray. This is an epic film starring Orlando Bloom, as a young blacksmith suffering from loss. He has a strong moral compass, but is called to travel to Jerusalem, where he believes many of his problems will be solved, but learns that it is a treacherous journey. This is an epic tale, and Orlando does a good job in the film, and his character is very unwavering in his beliefs. This earns him the respect of many peers, and he leads in many battles. It is a good film, but at nearly three hours long, it's pace is a bit slow at times. Worth a watch, but it might not be worth several revisits.

Several catalogue titles have been hitting the 4K UHD Blu-ray format, many with very good looking transfers. And Gladiator is another one that arrived and it looks and sounds amazing. This Oscar winner by director Ridley Scott is a must-own that will be a favorite in your collection. It is a timeless classic.

Marvel has hit it out of the park with Infinity War. Ten years of planning culminates in this epic film. Yes. It is long. Yes. This is only part one. But a story of this magnitude kind of deserves it. The film is well balanced between the characters with plenty of humor, action, and drama.
The UHD Blu-ray is very good. It does lack Dolby Vision. If you have seen other Dolby Vision presentations, you can form your own opinion about whether this would make a difference in picture quality or not. In mine, it is a disappointment that Disney failed to bring Dolby Vision to the disc. Still, the film looks great in HDR10. It truly is a treat, but it might have been even better.
Amazing special effects and a furry sense of humor highlight this Joe Dante scareshow about L.A.

Once there, White finds the Colony is home to a host of strange characters, who all seem to be vicious werewolves. John Sayles loosely adapted the Gary Brandner novel; with Christopher Stone, Patrick Macnee, Kevin McCarthy, John Carradine. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Worth the upgrade to 4K!
ByIndyTim
Absolutely worth the upgrade to 4K. I have the previous Blu-ray from Scream Factory and I wasn't sure a 4K upgrade would benefit this film much. Boy, was I wrong. The picture is very pleasing. Film grain is intact but not heavy. The reds and lights of the opening scene pop and create a picture with more depth. Details can be seen in faces, clothing, and the effects. Oh, the effects. Though little of the werewolves is shown, what we get looks amazing and the transformation scene has never been more grotesque. The previous Blu-ray is included and it has loads of very interesting special features that I also thoroughly enjoyed after watching the film. The Howling is a classic. Buy it!

I got the slipcover, but I was in the store. Currently, all issued should have the slip. The wrapping is over the slipcover. At some point they might stop issuing slipcovers, but they are on the early runs out there now. So, even ordering online you should receive one.

Does this player have an option where you can change the screen size?
I HATE letterbox.
Do any disc players do this? Every TV from the past several years has several built-in 'zoom' functions. So, use those. I see no such options in the player's manual.
