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!

With Laila Robins, Michael McKean, Dylan Baker; written and directed by John Hughes. 92 min.

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.

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.
This special-effects-filled disaster epic stars T~a Leoni as a TV reporter who uncovers the suppressed news that a newly discovered comet is on a collision course with Earth.

Morgan Freeman, Elijah Wood, Maximilian Schell also star. 121 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Portuguese, Spanish; audio commentary; featurettes; photo gallery; theatrical trailers.

Lied to
ByMattk
This steelbook set claims its 4k+blu ray+ digiral and it is not does kot come with blu ray copies of the movies only comes with the special features disc from the blu rays
I can agree with you to a certain extent. Maybe they were not specific enough in the listing details as they should have been. Since these movies have been out for years now, most of them on Blu-ray, this set is a limited steelbook 4K UHD edition for the movies, and a special features disc for the extra content. Yes, the listing does not say that. There are no Digital copies here in the listing either on Best Buy.
Arrow already did a HD Blu-ray version of this prior. Same slipcover design, only that one was a better slipcover with a graphic sheen to it. This 4K edition only has a booklet included on the movie. They did the same thing for FLATLINERS and AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
Blu-ray in SteelBook packaging. Brad Pitt stars in this terrifying and action-packed adaptation of Max Brooks' novel. Former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt) is called back to his job when a zombie pandemic grips the entire globe. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Lane undertakes a dangerous mission to travel the world in an effort to find out where the outbreak originated so a cure can be found. Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox also star. PG-13-rated version; 115 min./Unrated version; 122 min.

Disappointing Steel
BybluraymanfromChicago, IL
Extremely mediocre SteelBook. It's utterly bare-bones. Nothing on the inside, nothing on the back-cover.
What steelbook do you own? The one pictured is the one I own and there is most certainly inside artwork and on back. The disc itself is blue colored. They are not putting out another one just for a 4K edition. Disc only with the typical black holder.
An ex-Marine finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.

Not steelbook
ByEndOfLife
I would have to agree with the fact that this not being a steelbook especially at this price tag is very disappointing im sure at some point there will be a complete set. My uncle bought this completely regretting it.
Absolutely love the movie. It gets 5 stars. But the plastic slip cover is completely warped and ruined. The best looking steelbook so far this year and it's damaged. Disappointing to say the least.
Hey, thanks for the info. on the damaged steel slipcover, it looks like this is more than just you it is happening to. I somewhat disagree with your comment as far as best looking steelbook so far this year. 1996's Ghost In The Shell gets my vote. I do believe that came out this year, 2023. If not, I stand corrected. The artwork on that is just superior in all directions.

Audio Downgrade….
Byrichsto
Not sure who made the decision to downgrade the audio from 7.1 (which has been on all previous releases) to 5.1 but geez, really?!?
Awful, just awful. My copy will be returned at first opportunity. Super disappointing.

Nothing cheap about this
ByTommyboy98
Absolutely nothing cheap about this release. Dont listen to reviews saying that. So much is included in this
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.
