Coppola’s Romantic Vampire Tale
on August 23, 2019
Posted by: PappyV
Verified Purchase:Yes
Francis Coppola’s take on the Bram Stoker novel emphasizes the romance angle with a young cast and old school in-camera effects. The music by Roman Polanski’s regular composer is outstanding. The 4K transfer - grain and all - shows the beauty of the cinematography and is the best this movie has ever looked on home video. A must for fans of the movie.

Sweet little steelbook of a kaiju classic for only 15 bucks! Included are two versions of the film, the Japanese language version and the English dub. You also get a scholarly commentary which I found most interesting. Recommended!

I’m not a gamer but I wanted a lighted keyboard to replace my boring conventional keyboard so a sales associate helped me pick out the Razer. It is solidly built with a rotating color underlay. Works as advertised.

Our favorite Batman movie makes a spectacular debut on 4K disc. If you want to show off the black levels on your display this is the disc for you. Excellent sound as well. This disc is a 10 out of 10 for both picture and sound.

Bumblebee
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: PappyV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This entry in the Transformers series is more modest in scope than it’s Michael Bay directed predecessors and all the better for it. It’s much more Spielbergian, playing exactly like something Spielberg would have done in the 80s. The movie is set in the 80s which really drives this aspect home. The Transformers themselves look stunning in 4K with a level of detail and color brilliance that outdoes even the Blu-ray. Good movie and a very good 4K disc.

Best Ever Presentation Of A Classic
on June 14, 2019
Posted by: PappyV
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new 4K iteration of 2001: A Space Odyssey is the high water mark for 4K restoration of a legacy title. I’ve seen the movie many times over the years in theaters and on home video and the picture and sound here blew me away. A must-own disc for fans of the movie and home theater enthusiasts.

DC Animation In 4K
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: PappyV
from Vacaville CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Being a fan of DC’s animation I was curious to see what their latest feature would look like in 4K on my new 65” Samsung 4K UHD TV. While the movie itself is not among the top tier of DC’s animated features the presentation on the disc is impeccable. The color and light emanating from the screen is quite pleasing and has a definite edge over the standard Blu-ray.

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.

A Classic At It’s Best
on May 20, 2019

from Vacaville CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having seen Alien theatrically and purchased it in every video format over the years I can attest that the 4K disc is the best the movie has ever looked on home video. It’s a very dark movie and the HDR handles the dark areas of the screen beautifully. A must have disc for fans of Alien!

This movie is a lot of fun and the 4K disc is a knockout. A lot of the movie was shot in imax so your screen is filled with an ocean of light and color. This is the best 4K content I have seen yet! Aqua man takes it's place as my go to demonstration disc.

Guillermo Del Toro’s highly acclaimed The Shape Of Water makes for an outstanding 4K disc. The emerald color palette is beautifully rendered here actually looking better than it did in theaters!

Photo shows that this PC has a CD/DVD drive but the description does not. Does this PC have a CD/DVD drive? Thanks.

It has a CD/DVD drive built in. Does not play Blu-rays however.
