Great sequel with great presentation!

A top notch 4K upgrade for this sizzling sequel from director Tony Scott! It’s unfortunate that none of the DVD special features were ported over to this release, so, Hold into that if you still own it. Otherwise, the viewing experience was fantastic!

Beautiful Remaster for a Horror Classic!
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: NickJM
Verified Purchase:Yes
A fantastic remaster that buries the old jagged Blu-ray edition. Lush colors, warm tones in places, and a beautiful filmic presentation altogether! Any softness is inherent in the photography as director Wes Craven was forced to fire the main Cinematographer after much of the footage appeared out of focus.

Every 27 years, the otherwise nondescript town of Derry, Maine, finds itself stalked by a monstrous, sewer-lurking circus clown who lures trusting children to unholy demises. With the local adults powerless to act, one local 13-year-old (Jaeden Lieberher)-who lost his kid brother to the creature-bands his misfit friends together for a pursuit that confronts them with their greatest fears. Blockbuster big-screen take on the Stephen King classic co-stars Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, and Bill Skarsg~rd as Pennywise. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Movie Misfire gets high quality 4K treatment
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: NickJM
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice quality presentation of a fairly mediocre, problematic film. If you enjoyed this film, the 4K Dolby Vision upgrade is recommended.

Disappointing 4K Debut
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: NickJM
Verified Purchase:Yes
With this being my favorite movie, it was a crushing disappointment at how poorly it came off in this UHD format. It was far too dark and almost murky, draining a lot of color and highlights from a usually pleasing and at times gorgeous film. I was not happy with this release at all.

Great set w/Die Hard 4 Unrated in HD
on May 15, 2022
Posted by: NickJM
Verified Purchase:Yes
The specialty aspect of this box set is getting the unrated cut of Live Free or Die Hard, which has only been available on DVD before. Very nice to have that complete the collection, and the added digital copies is a great thing on top of that. All the other discs are the same as they've ever been, but all feature very good presentations of each film.

Excellent upgrade for this classic action film! The 4K scan really ticks up above the old HD master, and really shows off Die Hard the best it has ever been!

Good film, mediocre 4K HDR treatment.
on May 14, 2022
Posted by: NickJM
Verified Purchase:Yes
As much of a good film as this is, I feel as if 4K upgrades of most Marvel Studios films are typically underwhelming. The HDR grading doesn't enhance the contrast or colors very much, and most are 2K upscales. Granted, you do see some added details here and there, but it's all minor things overall. It's far from a bad presentation, but it's not a massive upgrade over the 1080p release.

Easily and quickly record up to 100GB of data with this LG BP50NB40 8x external USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc rewriter that features 6x maximum BD-R and 2x BD-RE write speeds to help you rapidly complete your tasks.
 

Can this device be used to rip footage off of a blu-ray disc onto my computer? Do I need to have a specific kind of software in order to do that?

It can be used to rip footage from DVDs and Blu-Rays, but you will need to obtain separate software to do that.
