Another 3-D must buy
on June 3, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
The original Lego Movie started a great franchise. While the sequel does not equal the first movie, it's a very serviceable sequel. And watching the movie in 3-D definitely elevates the experience. When you consider that Warner Brothers is about the last major studio supporting 3-D releases, this makes it a must buy title.

Solid rom-com
on March 20, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was initially unfair to the movie. It received a lot of positive reviews so I had oversized expectations for the film, which was a bit unfair. At the end of the day, it's a conventional, well acted, romantic comedy with solid production values. And there were some genuinely moving moments (i.e. stairway, wedding, Astrid-hubby, mahjongg scenes comes to mind), and a couple hilarious lines/moments. And the wife loved the film, so it's a good date movie.
I'm not sure if the transfer used a 4K digital intermediate, but it sure looked like it. It was a sharp, highly detailed transfer with vibrant colors. Sound is a basic 5.1, but adequate for a dialogue heavy movie. I'm a sucker for glorious transfers. Based on the picture quality alone, I'm extremely pleased to have bought it.

Competent but nothing special
on March 16, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
It was a nice diversion for a couple hours but the good performances were let down by a dull script. It's a caper movie without much suspense, and the motivations for the the Helena Bonham-Carter and Anne Hathaway characters seemed forced. But, as a huge fan of Sarah Paulson, the movie is worth watching for her performance alone.

Reference quality. A must buy.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Is the end of the road near? I've bought this on VHS, laserdisc, HD DVD and now 4K UHD. I can't imagine this movie ever looking or sounding better. If you're a Kubrick fan, or a fan of great cinema period, this belongs in your collection.
I have read Warner Bros. made an 8K scan of the original negatives. Someday, if there's a successor to 4k UHD, I'll be buying this movie again with pleasure.

Best. Courtroom Drama. Ever.

This is the movie where I learned the name Sorkin. What dialogue! I can't recall a movie with more iconic lines. 'You want this movie. You need this movie!'

ABBA in glorious HDR
on March 2, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to believe a decade has passed since this hit the theaters. The image quality is very good, though can you imagine how stunning it would be have been with a 4K intermediate? Great songs, great numbers and an appealing cast where Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper hold their own with the heavy hitters.

A valued addition

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's definitely an upgrade over the Jim Carrey movie of a few years back. The 3-D is medium with a couple popouts. With the waning number of 3-D releases, this title is a must buy for 3-D movie buffs.

3-D is a must buy

Verified Purchase:Yes
I missed it while it was playing in the theater and surprised it didn't do better at the box office. It's a very good family movie and my kids loved it. The 3-D is excellent and if you have a 3-D TV (and player), it's a must buy.

Worth a rental, buy if you like 3-D

Too long, lazy script, decent 3-D. But there's not many 3-d releases anymore so it was a must buy.

Immersive 3-D experience
on August 11, 2018
Posted by: phlick
from San Francisco, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is pretty average, though the Rock provides his usual appealing screen presence. As for the 3-D experience, I can't recall any pop-out effects, but it was quite immersive and well done, which I tend to prefer anyways.
There's not too many 3-D titles being released stateside anymore so I think Rampage is worth the purchase.
