From John Carpenter comes this chilling tale of a primordial essence unleashed from it's prison of seven million years by scientists. We don't know what the evil-looking liquid is in that ancient container, but with hordes of creepy crawlies around it, and a glow that turns folks into zombies, we bet it isn't Moxie. Donald Pleasence, Jameson Parker star. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Two-disc set.

4k Glory but only if you have the right player. Panasonic ub420 with lg nano cell. Restoration at its finest. Just enough grain and the colors bring this classic back to life. Kudos

Not bad amd definetly not the best protection. I guess I expected more from Samsung. Not for drops but it still is a nice case, just not too protective. Works well with the open and close feature. Not bad.

Coming from a 2000 Panasonic 6.1, this Denon shines. I was surprised to hear more coming through the hdmi cable then optical. Easy setup, easy to use. Just wish sub had its own level adjuster on remote like my old panasonic. Well worth the upgrade

4k Pop

Well worth the 4k upgrade. Sony seems to have some of the best 4k discs out. The scene with the Nissan GTR pops off the screen. Great film in the collection now.

TREKKIE FOR LIFE
on January 18, 2020
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
You dont have to be a die hard fan to appreciate a space mystery. Only Star Trek could add mystery and mayhem to outer space. Captains log states that this seems like a true 4k DI but it's a 2k upscale. I was very impressed with the wide color gamut for this one. I own the blu ray and the difference is literally night and day to me. What are you waiting for this is a reference quality disc

The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

BEST OUT OF SERIES
on January 18, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Hands down one of the best 4k viewing experiences I have watched on my setup. Love all the Trekkie remakes. This is a delicate series to tackle and JJ does a fine job with this one. Dont want to give the plot away but yes I follows the tradition. HDR made my blu ray look like it was in 480p. Great addition to the collection

BETTER THAN THE MOVIES
on January 18, 2020
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Saw this in the movies at a Dolby Cinema. Definetly impressed at the time but once I watched on the Sony 4k, I was floored. This movie does not, I repeat does not need a 4k intermediate, the 2k DI is more than enough. I watched on a Sony X900f with Panasonic UB420. Perfect budget setup and I was speechless by the clarity and colors this movie constantly throws at. AMAZING

SPECTACULAR
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is reference quality on steroids. I saw this in Dolby when it came out in the movies. I saw more details on the disc. The level or clarity is off the rails. Plot wise I always thought this was a great way to get into the Shell Universe. Special Effects blend in with the environment almost seamlessly. I'm glad this is a 2k Upscale because the special effects wouldnt look as good in 4k. How can I put it, you're eyes would see past the illusion. This is a stellar disc and I haven't even made it to the features yet.
One problem. I think I speak for all 4k UHD Enthusiasts, please send the slipcover with the movie. I cant stress this. Only other gripe was my case was cracked from the good ol boys at the UPS. GREAT MOVIE

After sitting out the last adventure, Vin Diesel reprises his role as Xander Cage in this thrilling sequel. This time, the not-so-dead-after-all Cage must retrieve a device that can turn satellites into deadly warheads while also trying to figure out who among the many other intelligence operatives caught up in the dangerous mission is friend, and who is foe. With Samuel L. Jackson, Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, Deepika Padukone, Nina Dobrev, and, in a cameo, Ice Cube. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

ACTION BONANZA
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Forget the 1st one, forget the sequel. This is the best one hands down. The opening action sequence is so good I literally watched 5 times back to back. The story is straigh forward and easy to follow. You dont have to see the first 2, you can jump right in with this one. HDR shines on this. The water moped scene blew me away. The last 20 minutes pushed my system with the ATMOS soundtrack. Bullets are literally flying from behind, left and right and a few sounds from above. This is a great addition to my 4k collection. Huge Vin Diesel fan.

Historically Inaccurate But Entertaining
on January 13, 2020
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
This isn't a bad movie. It does rely on a tremendous amount of chi but for 4k it's awesome. I saw this in 3D when it originally came out and I was entertained. Straigh forward plot but the action sequences (especially the snake scene) really shine with HDR. I thought the blu ray was OK. At this price I couldnt resist. 4K Disc, Blu Ray and Digital copy for under $20 = a steal. Seriously if you want a movie about a hero/demigod retribution with unique special effects, then BUY THIS MOVIE

Is the controller Bluetooth?

Most are except the first edition controllers without the 3.5 head jack and Elite Series 1

Enjoy premium picture and sound quality with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Reduced vibration and compatibility with Hi-Res Audio help achieve vibrant sound reproduction, while the HCX processor delivers impressive 4K detail. The chroma processing technology on this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player enhances the color of HDR content and provides excellent color balance and sense of realism.
 

Is this player only compatible with a 4k tv, or would a non-4k television like a Sharp LC-40LX1 be compatible?

Its compatible with any HDMI tv but you wont get any of the advanced HDR features. It is really for a mid tier 4k ultra hd tv. It allows you to set the nits for how bright the tv can go.

can u download an app like a disney+?

It's not available (yet). I have it on my tv as with Netflix but I would rather see it on this player. This player takes Netflix and applies HDR to even some of the 1080 movies and shows. Does it better than the app on my TV. Panasonic is the beast of home players
