In a world where Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) got that fateful radioactive spider bite-and the mantle of Spider-Man-the use of a particle accelerator by the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) is causing existence to fissure. As alternate-dimension Spideys like Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) pile into his reality, can they help Miles undo the chaos? Oscar-winning animated effort also stars the voices of Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

No Dolby Vision on disc.

This movie is a SPECTACLE: pure eye-candy of the highest magnitude. I was fortunate enough to have seen it in a Dolby Cinema and was really looking forward to owning this on disc. Unfortunately it only has standard HDR on disc - no Dolby Vision. The movie is still great, but the lack of DV is a huge missed opportunity.

A must-have

The movie is wonderful and looks brilliant in 4k HDR. It's nice to have the continuity in the Pixar steelbooks as well - keeps the shelf looking neat.

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

Best player out there for the money.
on July 1, 2020
Posted by: RatingAMovie
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are some cheaper 4K players out there (that don't support the media formats or HDR standards of this player), but if you want something that is fully featured, this is your best option at the moment. The biggest drawback I have found is artifacting with the tone mapping. If you have that feature turned on and there are fast moving and high constrast objects on-screen, they will appear to break up as part of the prior frame remains on-screen. It's annoying and I just leave it off now whenever I watch action movies and the like. It's still nice to have for dramas - stuff that you know will be fairly still, because it helps salvage some details in highlights.
Overall I'm super happy with the player and would recommend it as the go-to option for anyone wanting to get into physical 4k media and legacy physical media.

The first half of this game is a slog. Utilizing the preorder bonus really takes nothing out of it. If you got it, use it.

The 9th film from Quentin Tarantino is a seriocomic mix of fact and fiction set in 1969 Los Angeles. As the sun prepares to set on Hollywood's Golden Age, fading TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) attempts to revive his career, and he and longtime stunt double and pal Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) find themselves crossing paths with actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and several members of the Manson Family. With Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, Al Pacino, and Kurt Russell. 161 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

A one-time watch.
on June 26, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
In Tarantinos filmography, this movie most resembles Jacky Brown. There's not much action at all - mostly following characters through their day-to-day while dabbling in some humor. It works well enough for one viewing, but once you know what transpires, the story has a hard time drawing you back in.
I'd recommend renting this if you are interested in seeing it.

Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors. When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.

Did you know that revenge is bad?
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: RatingAMovie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this primarily for the story and was extremely dissapointed. It's paced so poorly with so many superfluous scenes. It took me 25 hours to finish it and it could have easily been half that length - if this were purely a movie, it wouldn't even need to approach 3 hours. There's a lot of gratuitous violence and the format of the narrative is incredibly judgemental and cynical, which really became a frustration in the second half.
As a game, it's fine. The first half is a slog, but around 14 hours in, there is some bare-bones but decent stealth/3rd-person-shooter gameplay.
It looks great and runs fine enough on my PS4 Pro, as expected coming from Naughty Dog.
I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone and I regret spending my time and money on it.

Haven't seen any previous home release of these episodes (just what aired on tv), but the pq is super clean on this bluray. Nice to have a hard copy of the orginial series in my collection.

Meh

This release looks fine, but it is no significant step up from previous releases. If you want this movie, you can get it for next to nothing on bluray. Just get whatever's cheaper and available to you.

I own the Sony Ubp X700. With certain discs it keeps freezing. Did some research on online forums. The Sony players seem to freeze with certain 4k discs when switching layers. (double layered discs that are huge or long) Does this have freezing issues?

I've watched over 30 discs with the player. I'm not familiar with the capacity/size of each one, but I will say that The Deer Hunter played beautifully - it is 3 hours long and uses Dolby Vision, so I imagine that it's one of the larger discs. I have heard people say that Knives Out freezes, but I don't own the disc myself and can't confirm that.
