One of the funniest films ever!
on August 23, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film itself is a 5 out of 5, and as an avid steelbook collector, there is no better way to own this film! The only issue, though, that stops this from being a 5 out of 5 review is the fact this is blu ray only and has no 4K disc included. To be honest, nowadays, anything not including a 4K disc is one I cannot ever give a full five out of five to. Nevertheless, this is a must own film in a must own steelbook!

Five star movie and a four star steelbook!
on August 16, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
As an avid steelbook collector, this is the way to buy this film! Gorgeous art on the steelbook; however this steelbook should have (to me) been glossy versus this flat finish that it has. Not my favorite steelbook of all time, but I do like it quite a bit!
The film, though, is great! I did not at all grow up with these books as I am "too old" in that regard, but I had heard of them. I went to see the film even though it was "only" PG-13, and I was shocked by how close this PG-13 is to R. A few more small things here and there, and you have an R-rated film. It's well acted throughout, it IS scary many times, and it does feel like a kids' film straight from the 80s due to much of the adult nature and sheer grossness of it all.
It was clearly built to have a sequel, and I hope that it does!

Gorgeous steelbook for three classics in 4K!
on July 25, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Are you a fan of The Matrix and want to watch it looking better than ever in 4K AND have an amazing steelbook? This is for you! I fully realize that this is not everyone's favorite steelbook given the cover is the cat, but I love it, and I find it meaningful and important. I am a huge fan of all three films, and I think each makes the other even better, and, really, when all is said and done, all three together are almost one long film. I almost rated this a four due to it not including The Animatrix (another must own), but I can't do it. Worth every penny!

Far better than I expected!

This review is current as of the COVID-19 pandemic. I recently purchased a new television, and it offered free home delivery. I originally assumed that meant nothing more than FedEx or UPS, but instead it was from Best Buy itself.
First and foremost, they give you ample options for time and date, and after you pick a time and date, you have up until the day before to change it if needs be. I did not need to change mine, but that alone is hugely appreciated.
They also keep you up-to-date via e-mail, text, and a phone call the day before.
Finally, and again this is during the pandemic, it was "contactless delivery," so when they arrived, it was two people, both had masks and gloves on, and only one of them very, very briefly stepped inside over the door threshold to help me lift it inside. Instead of signing a paper and handing it back, they gave me my receipt and took a photo of me holding it. It was perfectly!
Both of the people were super polite and we even briefly joked, and they were in and out in minutes.
Seriously, great service, and I highly recommend it!

INCREDIBLE television! I love it!
on July 12, 2020

After years, it was time to upgrade my older 50-inch Vizio, but it was a difficult choice as I truly did not want to remove the older Vizio from the living room as it was a 3D set, and I have a large number of 3D blu rays, but it was time, and 3D is "dead" in the United States, at least.
After a ton of research, and the fact that 65-inches was the maximum for the living room, and I had a budget of no more than $800, this is the set that I decided upon, and I am glad that I did! Incredible and jaw-dropping 4K picture with Dolby Vision, and it's truly stunning to see it in your living room.
The full array back lighting and local dimming zones make the picture pop even more, and the 4 HDMI inputs are wonderful to have.
Others have already said it countless times, but this is worth every single last penny. I will forever miss the 3D setup, and I hope Vizio and others someday, far down the road, include it again, but until that time, I am overwhelmingly happy with this set!
No joke - worth every penny you spend!

Best game of 2020!
on June 28, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Easily the best game of 2020! The first game was an instant classic, and this one shows that the second time around is just as good, if not better, than the first. I waited on this review until I beat the game, but while parts are shocking, especially near the beginning, the story is just phenomenal with deep characters and important questions being asked about right and wrong, guilt and innocent, and not everything is clear cut and black and white.
Incredible controls, insane voice acting, an extremely detailed world, and just that touch of something more adds to this story that is beyond a worthy follow up to the original.
The Special Edition is the way to go, as well! Great art book and special codes for icons and such, but the steelbook alone is worth the price! Love it!

One of the best gaming steelbooks ever!
on June 19, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
I cannot say much here concerning the game itself that has not been said elsewhere, but it is a work of art. Give it time. Dive in. Take in everything. It's truly genius and, again, a work of art.
Beyond that, this steelbook is incredible on its own. I won't lie, even if the game was average at best, I would have still purchased this for the gorgeous steelbook. Pictures do not do it justice, and it is worth the price.
Five out of five stars! The game itself is (again!) a work of art and profound, and the steelbook is in the top five of all time.

Great steelbook to a classic film but no 4K?
on May 22, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
The only thing holding this from a five star review is the fact that a 4K disc was not included. That is just very strange given where we're at now, but it's still well worth a purchase.
Everyone knows The Breakfast Club, so reviewing the movie itself is not really needed. It was considered an instant classic when it came out, and it still is to this day.
The real standout here is the steelbook! Just great and a true piece of art! Highly original and different than any other steel in my collection and one that I am proud to have!
Again, the only thing holding this back from five stars total is the lack of a 4K disc which stands out pretty badly nowadays to be missing.

Great steelbook for a below average film!
on May 22, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the original Wreck-It Ralph was an instant classic filled with heart, joy, fear, and nostalgia, the same cannot be said for this sequel. While a sequel is not at all a bad idea, it in no way turned out great. This is missing what made the first film so memorable and actually seems to be trying too hard. There are some great scenes such as the one with the Disney princesses as well as the shadier parts of the internet, but those handful of scenes do not help a movie that just feels heartless.
On the other hand, the steelbook is great! I have nothing at all bad to say about it, and it's a four star steelbook to a two star movie, so I am going to average and give it a three star review overall.

Amazing steelbook and a really good film!
on May 22, 2020
Posted by: Pikaroth
Verified Purchase:Yes
The steelbook on its own is a five star steelbook! It's gorgeous and fits the art style of the film perfectly! An honest must-own steel!
The movie itself is really good but not great. I want to give huge credit to Disney for including an interview with the original director before she was fired halfway through filming as they did not like her "take" on it. It's a huge reason that the last half of this movie feels completely different than the first, and it's what's holding it back from being a classic. Things don't pay off that are clearly setup, etc. But again, on the special features Disney does not shy away from letting her be interviewed, and that is awesome and very rare for a company like Disney to talk about anything bad or negative that happened during the making of a particular movie.
So, four star movie and a five star steelbok!
