I wanted the original cover art. The movie is a classic. It is engaging, heart wrenching, and thrilling. It has the same great 4k transfer as the box set. A must own.

And it's here, finally on 4k.

Released during what is considered a classic year in sci fi, horror, and fantasy, 1982. What a year that was. This movie, even after so many years, still grabs you. I hadn't seen it in awhile, and yet I had so much fun watching it. Still so effective. A rollercoaster ride of a movie. The 4k picture and sound is absolutely superb.

I already own the box set, but I wanted the original poster art on the cover. I wish this was how it was released in the first place. Oh well. Same great 4k picture and sound.

Fright Night takes me back to the 80's when movies were memorable and fun to watch. What a time it was. I can only reminisce. This 4k blu ray is an outstanding transfer. A clean picture and a strong 7.1 audio track. You gotta get this one.

A must watch for fans of the Yellowstone series.
Outstanding performances from the entire cast. Love the cinematography too. Gritty, heart wrenching, and sad, laced with western style action. 1883 is terrific cinematic journey from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

I've come to appreciate Undiscovered Country a little more over the years. As I get older, I find that this one has the maturity and substance that fits my sensibilities a little more than when I was younger action loving movie goer. The 4k transfer here is top notch. Certainly better looking than the 1080 blu ray. Great audio also. Some effects pack a punch.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Incredible photography, and a narrative that is both informative and wondrous. These BBC documentaries narrated by Richard Attenborough are incredible and so technically well made. Each one is like going on a fantastic journey.

I know, I know. Star Trek 5 is considered one of the lesser recognized sequels, but I like it as a guilty pleasure with it's light hearted approach no preachy messages. It's like taking a break from the previous Star Trek film. Everything looks good here in 4k, and the audio is phenomenal.

Heat on 4k, finally, but......

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this movie. One of the most realistic gunfights in cinema history. The reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because of the spotty 4k transfer. I was really hoping for a better looking 4k blu ray than this, but it was not to be. How disappointing. The movie here is just simply too dark, and I don't like straining my eyes when I'm watching a movie. The audio is terrific though. If enough people complain maybe they'll correct this.

Decades after the drowning death of adolescent Jason Voorhees and the barn murders of a pair of young lovers, scenic Camp Crystal Lake reopens. Now the place is crawling with campers and young, naive, S*x-hungry counselors... and a maniacal killer! And just what is the deal with this Jason kid?

The original classic on 4k.

Basically, the slasher movie that set the trend. It's always a joy to watch this movie from time to time. You have to admire it's simplicity and low key approach in crafting such an effective horror movie. The way these kind of movies were made at the time. Straightforward without all the spectacle.
The 4k transfer is fine for the most part. You can definitely see the improved sharpness, contrast, and deeper tones. I don't mind the extra grain too. However, there is the presence of black crush, and it is prevalent throughout film. Certain details that should be visible now disappear into the shadows. This is unacceptable. There is no reason for this especially in scenes that doesn't require a creepy effect. Very disappointing . On a positive note, I was very satisfied with the 5.1 audio. I thought it was much more balanced than on the previous blu ray "8 movie collection" where the music was too loud and bass drowning out all the other sound effects. This is corrected on the 4k disc. Do I recommend it this 4k transfer. If you don't mind a little black crush here and there, then yes. A least the audio was improved.

What training goes with this? Will your Apple Technician help set up this computer?
When I purchased my original MacBook Pro 11 years ago I had absolutely no experience with computers. The Apple technicians at the Apple store that I purchased my computer from gave me a series tutorials on the basics of keystrokes and functions. Depending on what you want to do with your new computer. The tutorials can be very in-depth or just a familiarization or both. When I bought my new current computer at Best Buy I asked a few questions just to get started but for the most part, I just carried over what I already new from my original computer. However. It is very likely that I will be asking or signing up for more tutorials to get a better understanding of this very new and upgraded computer.
