In one of Clint Eastwood's best movies, he stars as an intelligent prisoner sent to the "Rock". Once there, he befriends a few inmates and makes at least one enemy. The enemy wants him dead after a refusal and fight. The "friendly inmates" are two guys that also plan their escape wisely.
A neighbor inmate next to Eastwood starts out wanting to join the escape party but cannot find the means to do what is necessary in a timely manner.
The Warden is bent on breaking Eastwood's character by constant checks and wanting to move him to another cell.
Eastwood then sets in motion the escape of the century.
Picture and sound are better now than previously released Blu-ray even. I found it superior. The details now are excellent. Sound is also excellent through the soundbar. Easy selections and menus. We get a nice 4K, Blu-ray copy, and slipcover.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Slyvester Stallone star in this action thriller about a prison that is seemingly escape proof. Stallone is a man hired by companies to investigate whether or not their prisons can be escape proof. If they are found with problems, he's the man to find it.
On one such mission, he finds himself in the midst of a brutal warden out to break him. He befriends Arnold's character, and they both work on a plan to escape.
Together they uncover a plot to keep one or both of them there permanently.
The movie looks and sounds amazing in 4K UHD. Good quality here and one of the best with these two.
Highly recommended! We get a nice 4K, digital copy, and a Blu-ray copy of the movie.

The BEST version of this release ever. The Steelbook is gorgeous. We get a nicely done slipcover for it with different artwork altogether. This is only the 4K release, Steelbook, digital copy.
It looks and sounds better than ever. One of Arnold's great '80s classics starring the late Richard Dawson (Family Feud) as the lead bad guy. Maria Conchita Alonso brings up the beautiful eye candy for the movie.

Unbelievably freaky horror movie of its time and still holds up today!
Margot Kidder (Superman, The Amityville Horror), John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street I and III), Olivia Hussey (Jesus Of Nazareth) star in this intense thriller about a Sorority House terrorized by a homicidal lunatic that takes refuge in the attic, unbeknownst to the sisters during Christmas holiday season.
The sisters start to receive these perverted and horrific calls on the phone and seek help from the local police to identify the culprit. In time, they think they have narrowed down the suspect, but it is not all what it seems.
This movie, although made the year after The Exorcist, is just as scary as it was then. A tense thriller, but not for the younger viewers.
The 4K looks good for a 1974 fllm mostly done at night to showcase the Christmas lights, scenery, etc.
Nice slipcover, 3-disc set! Get this one now for a horror Christmas good time!
Desperate to return to his Chicago home in time to spend Thanksgiving with his family, uptight businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) encounters loutish shower curtain ring salesman Del Griffith (John Candy).

With Laila Robins, Michael McKean, Dylan Baker; written and directed by John Hughes. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles English, French; bonus footage. Two-disc set.

1987's comedy holiday release of Trains, Plains, and Automobiles finally makes it to 4K UHD.
This is a good release, but be aware this is only the 4K/Digital code. The Blu-ray included here as a bonus is only special features. A nice slipcover is also provided.
The Blu-ray version has previously been released a number of times.
The movie looks and sounds good. It is not a super improvement over the Blu-ray version, but glad to have it now as part of the 4K library.
If you already own the Blu-ray, I would say keep it. Otherwise, you can get this one, a bonus special features blu-ray, digital code, and slipcover.
From Director Walter Hill comes a battle of gigantic proportions looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100,000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty.

A good release from Paramount, but not the greatest. I am very pleased to have the steelbook now and the original version. However, the Theatrical version is only on the DVD included. Looks to be a DVD that has been previously released. Nothing new in this package other than the steelbook and the Digital code. Artwork is solid., Love it. Inside though is okay. No scenes on the inside of it. I would have loved for them to put the last scene in the movie inside the steelbook of them all on the beach at Coney Island.
I had the previously released Blu-ray already, so it is the same one as far as material is concerned. The artwork on the previous one is much better. Here, we have a lazy blue color on it for the Blu-ray.
The movie looks and sounds great on the HD Blu-ray. The DVD here is okay, with specks of dirt throughout the movie.
A solid 4 stars here but could have been better.
I recommend if you do not own the steelbook and digital code.

Great set and price on Black Friday! $35 bucks off! Had to have it. The 4Ks look really good and sound is great also with easy selections. However, for some reason Sony had decided to cheap out on the packaging for this set. I mean, if you are releasing the trilogy in 4K for the first time, make an effort.
The discs were stacked on top of each other rather than putting them in a 3-disc holder.
I did it myself and now it looks much better and easier to handle them in their own space.
Find a good deal on this set and get it! Tobey does a great job in this original set. I recommend!

What a great movie this is and Ron Pearlman does a great job as the main character. It looks and sounds great now in the upgraded 4K UHD format! The steelbook is great also, not stellar, but better than a plain one. Love it. We get the 4K, Blu-ray edition and nice digital copy. Steelbook was dent and scratch free even after taking off the "J card". Sometimes dents can be hidden underneath the paper description attached to it aka the J card. I am a steelbook collector and this is definately a must buy. Recommended! Menus are great with easy selections.

What a great animated Halloween movie from Tim Burton. Looks good, sounds good on the Blu-ray HD format. Menus are good with easy selections. Audio is fairly good for this edition. Would love to see a new 4K version steelbook in 2023! We also get a digital copy here, but check to see if it is still good since this version was released in 2018 for the 25th Anniversary.

One of my favorite John Travolta movies comes to 4K format! BLOW OUT is that early '80s thriller with Nancy Allen (Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Robo-Cop). John plays a soundman for an independent movie company and while recording some audio one night locally, he notices an accident that has a car going into the river from a bridge. He saves the woman inside, and then gets entangled into a political murder mystery involving the woman (Nancy Allen).
The movie looks really good here on 4K, probably the best it has ever looked. Menus are good and there are some extras from Criterion, of which were brought over from the previous releases. The only thing that was not upgraded was the sound for the 4K. It is DTS English 2.0 and if you have a good soundbar, at least, it's good enough for this movie.
I really like this Steelbook it’s pretty cool. Lionsgate knows how to make a great Steelbook and this one is pretty awesome. But the only dislike about this is that I didn’t have a chance to finish the movie. Like after hour and a half the sounds just cut off while I was watching the movie. For the 4K and the Blu-Ray. I was very disappointed and had to return it and sadly, they didn’t had any copy of the Steelbook and the regular 4K. Wish I could give this a better rating but couldn’t, I was let down.
Audiences were mesmerized in 1982 by Disney~s release of the film Tron, a groundbreaking fusion of live action and computer animation, setting the special effects stage for decades to come. Video game players were equally drawn to the Tron arcade cabinet, widely considered the most beautiful design ever. Arcade1Up is incredibly proud to produce the Tron home arcade cabinet, among the most requested by hardcore retrogamers. Awarded "Coin-Operated Game of the Year" by Electronic Games magazine, Tron was revered for its gameplay and gorgeous aesthetic. The Arcade1Up Tron home arcade cabinet stays true to what made the game such a draw in 1982, right down to its signature inner lit blue joystick. Also included is the marquee game~s sequel, Discs of Tron.

Pricey, inconsistent controls, but nostalgic
ByJDThird
I spent a lot of time standing in front of one of these in the arcade back when they came out. And I haven't seen one since I enlisted in '85 so I had to get this just as a sop to my memories of happy times during childhood.
This isn't my first Arcade 1up cabinet, but it's by far the most expensive. I don't see the value here OTHER than for that nostalgia factor. There isn't anything here that warrants the price otherwise compared to some of the other games.
That being said, if you can get past the price point and want it, it definitely does bring back those days.
Assembly is pretty standard, although in this set the smallest piece, that is a small bit of wood material about 6 inches long that goes angled on the top above the screen to support the top cover, was much flimsier in here than in my last one. It split with the tiniest bit of snugging the screw down. It was still usable, and I was very careful with the second one, but keep that in mind.
Beyond that, I put it together myself and didn't have any issues with the build I do have a bit of dissapointment with the fitting of the graphic panel just under the joystick - it's not straight and so didn't line up well with the piece underneath it. I may have to pop the back and put some gorilla tape or something on it to keep it lined up better.
The other disappointment is with the joystick. Not anywhere near as good as the original. So light cycles, for example, it gets a lot of inputs that you aren't intending. And the ability to do those tiny little smallest jinks while driving the light cycle are nothing like what you could do with the original.
Sounds are spot on though, and the music is as well. So it's good for a stroll down memory lane even if it's not as good to play as it was. But for the price I expected better.
Thank you for your review! I have been watching this as well to see who would buy one and what it would be like. The price point is just too much, and now you say the controls are not as good, etc. Well, hopefully, there will be a mod available at some point to fix that joystick.
This movie of course was no where on par with the first two. It is worth watching as I think all of them are except for the one with Busta Rhymes in it. This is a classic so buy it and watch it. Too bad they dont make a monster Halloween box set.
Very cool artwork. The picture is way better than my Blu Ray Steelbook. It even has the German audio in 7.1. Arnies English voice is a Desaster..haha..anyhow, one negative part is, that the version does not contain the extended and just the theatrical version :(… However, it’s one of the best Action movie ever made!

Poor Presentation, no slip, discs come stacked on each other. Should have been in a 3 disc flip style case.
Well, this is the second time on 4K for these movies. I believe the first was a digibook style case. They are only rereleasing these to coincide with the newest Spider-Man movie that has all 3 of the guys in it. I'm sure if they sell enough of this set, they will undoubtedly put out a steel book version of it to make even more money. Slip covers, for the most part, are becoming hard to find now. The money is in the steel book casing.

I previously commented that this set was released as a Digipack version. I stand corrected, it came in a LEGACY Edition Steel book version 4K and Blu-ray of all 5 previous Spider-Man movies, plus Blu-rays.

Movie good, packaging bad
Bykritical485
The movies are entertaining however I am disappointed with the packaging. I do not like stacked discs and this set did not add anything extra. Not even a slip cover. I would recommend buying at a discounted price.
I am most likely going to save up for that LEGACY Edition Steelbook that has all of the previous 4K Spider-Man movies and blu-rays in it I believe. Thanks for the honest review.
I love The Matrix trilogy, that's why I bought this movie also (to have the complete collection), but this movie was a 5/10. The quality and design of this SteelBook is 6/10. If you are a fan of the movie, buy it.

55th Anniversary Money Grab
ByMchamb70
As a life long Star Trek fan I purchased this box set to go with my collection. I would say that these are a good 4K transfer but not really much of an upgrade over the Blu-ray.
It is nice having a digital copies however these are on paramount and not able to be used on Movies anywhere.
No Dolby Atmos
The Motion Picture is currently being upgraded to the directors cut 4K with Dolby Atmos.. the others will probably soon follow.
I don't know which set up you are watching your discs on, but these most certainly DO have Dolby Atmos on them. They look better than ever now in 4K and am very happy to have them. A good 4K player combined with a good 4K TV with HDR is the best set up.
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?
Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone. It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.
Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply.

It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later. You may have to go to ebay for one.
