This is a reference quality 4K disc. I originally saw the movie on Netflix. Watching the 4K disc showed what I missed. The picture is top notch.Details are very sharp.The muted colors are still bright and night scenes and shadows have great black levels thanks to the High Dynamic Range. The Dolby Atmos is immersive and thunderous a gunfire and explosions move across the sound field including the high speakers. the low channel is extraordinary. Note: Atmos is only on the German language audio track.

The fate of the nation rests on the courage of one man. Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman star in two-time Oscar(r) nominee Wolfgang Petersen's gripping thriller about an uncompromising U.S. President who has just told the world he will not negotiate with terrorists. When Russian neo-nationalists hijack Air Force One, the world's most secure and extraordinary aircraft, the President is faced with a nearly impossible decision to give in to terrorist demands or sacrifice not only the country's dignity,but the lives of his wife and daughter.

This 4K disc looks very good. The High Dynamic Range offers realistic color pallets and the black levels at the night scenes never shows black crush. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is immersive with room filling sound. The low frequency channel is very good. The 4K picture magnifies the flaws of the CG effect of the plane crashing into the water at the end.

The cover art for this 4k disc is the same as the original movie poster,which I love. The movie is set in an alternative reality with several scenes filmed in Chicago on 63rd street. The movie is basically a Western. 30 years ago me and only 2 others I knew actually saw this film in the theater,but I think it now has grown as a cult favorite. The picture looks very good with nice realistic night scenes. The Atmos sound is room filling.

I picked this up at a good price for $16.99. The 4K disc shows medium film grain which is fine for a 65 year old film. there are a few scenes that that have heavier than I would like,but over all very good. The High Dynamic Range shows good contrast and there are several scenes where the color pops. The night scene where the bridge is set up with explosives is outstanding thanks to the HDR. Night looks like night. The atmos track is good with immersive sound and thunderous explosions.

Black Adam

The slip cover is very nice. the 4K presentation is very clean and sharp . High Dynamic Range vivid bold colors and I did not notice any black crush and I was able to make out detail in dark scenes and areas. Dolby Atmos was clean but I had to turn up volume more to get full immersive impact. Despite rumors this movie okay and no worse than any than most Super Hero movies being made now.

The slipcover has nice artwork. The movie has been re-edited and scenes rearranged and I think it is a better film than the original presentation in 1990. The movie moves at a better pace and is not as boring as original cut. The 4K disc has good flesh tones and full rich sound especially the music at the parties,sound of helicopter and machine gun fire at the hit scene of the Dons and thunder while Michael is talking in his kitchen. High Dynamic Range is good and allows visible patterns in dark clothing.

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).

This another movie bought on sale at great price of $7.99. This is a great science fiction movie.The 4k is a slight upgrade from the Blu-ray with the added benefit of High Dynamic Range which does improve the contrast and color somewhat. The 5.1 DTS-HD sound track has good babb and sound placement.

I bought this at full price and the movie is worth every penny. This black and white movie in 4k is a slight upgrade from the Blu-ray. The High Dynamic Range grading produces excellent black levels and shadows and clean crisp whites,such as Ricks' white jacket and shirts. the image is sharp and shows good film grain. Mono audio track is clear .

Picked this on a good deal for$14.99 during Black Friday sale. The Amazing Spider-Man is the better movie. But also, Amazing Spider-Man 2 is nowhere near as bad as the popular rumor. Both movies look excellent with very good contrast and black levels in the night scenes. The High Dynamic Range has vivid colors. The Atmos track sounded fantastic and very immersive.

This was a bargain for $9.99 during a Black Friday sale. The packaging is okay although I would have preferred the original poster art. The movie has a clean look with nice saturated colors ,especially reds ,blues,yellows and orange. You can see nice film grain.High Dynamic Range is very good. DTS audio track good and mainly in front speakers.
