A true gem of a horror movie from 1980! The movie looks fairly good now in this format. There's more detail, of course throughout. A former pet alligator makes its way to the sewer system and becomes a lethal giant terrorizing all who enter.
Homicide detective played by Robert Forster is on the case to find the monster along with Robin Riker, a doctor specializing in alligators. She plays the red head eye candy in the movie. Lots of other actors of the era 1977-1980.
This is a 3 Disc set, 1 4K and 2 Blu-rays. 1 of the Blu-rays is the Special features. Artwork on all discs. Slipcover included when I got mine.
Good monster movie if you want to relive some of that 1980 horror! I recommend!

What an outstanding WWII movie, and it is so realistic. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to see this World War II movie at least once in their lifetime!
Well done Steven Spielberg and others that made this movie what it is. This 25th Anniversary edition is well done! We get the 4K, Blu-ray, Blu-ray bonus disc, digital copy.
Highly recommended for adults. I would not recommend for ages under 13.

Lawrence of Arabia finally makes its way to the 4K UHD format in this 60th Anniversary edition! The movie and sound are really good on the 4K TV and Sony player. Good menus, easy selections. 4-disc set!
Feature disc 1 (4K) Feature disc 2 (4K) Feature disc 1 (Blu-ray) Special Features disc 2 (Blu-ray) Artwork is well done on the front and back plus we have different artwork on each of the four discs. Discs are not stacked on top of each other. We have a disc divider that houses 2 in the middle that you flip over. Digital copy is included.
*As with the Bridge on the River Kwai steelbook, we have no artwork on the inside itself, rather a subdued pinkish color as a background to the discs.
If you like or love this movie, I highly recommend you get this edition soon before it goes out of print!
Spectacularly produced, and the winner of seven Academy Awards~ (1957), including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor (Alec Guinness), THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI continues to be one of the most memorable cinematic experiences of all time.

Wow, what a beautifully done steelbook! Thank you Sony for doing this on the Anniversary of the movie. We get everything here in this edition, 4K, Blu-ray copy, digital copy. The 2 discs have artwork on them, which is nice also. The movie looks and sounds better than ever on the 4K TV and Sony player, in my opinion. I have at least 200 4Ks in my library and this is one of the best WWII movies. Sir Alec Guiness gives a great performance here.
*The only gripe I would say on the steelbook is that the inside itself does not have artwork, It is a subdued pinkish color. The discs are housed on the right side and you have the room for the digital copy on the left side.
Pick this one up folks if you are a WWII movie fan!

Yet another beautifully done release from Lionsgate! We get the deluxe treatment here and I love the slipcovers now for these. Good idea. The movie looks and sounds good in 4K. If you are a fan of this horror movie, I would say go and get it and find a good deal on it. It is worth having in your horror movie library.

The 4th Matrix movie steelbook looks gorgeous and compliments the others I have. Beautiful artwork and cover. The movie itself was decent, but not stellar. We do get everything here, the steelbook, the 4K, the Blu-ray copy, the Digital copy. Looks and sounds good on the 4K TV and Sony player. I would recommend if you are a MATRIX fan.

This was a good movie, but I think the pacing of it could have been better, overall. Robert did a fairly decent job as Batman and the actress playing Catwoman also did a fairly good job. It looks and sounds spectacular in ultra 4K!! Menus are great with easy selections.
Comes with a nice slipcover in this edition and the red and black are really nice.
PATHETIC EARTHLINGS... WHO CAN SAVE YOU NOW? Super producer Dino de Laurentiis (Dune, Barbarella) brought Alex Raymond's beloved cartoon strip and the long running movie serial to the big screen with celebrated director Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Black Rainbow) at the helm, in a delirious space opera, where Flash is King of the Impossible! Merciless Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) decides to wreak havoc on Earth in a moment of cruel boredom. Boarding a rocket as a means of escape, star quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) find themselves on Mongo. Taken prisoner Flash must save Dale from becoming Ming's concubine, avoid the amorous intention's of Ming's wicked daughter Aura (Ornella Muti) and unite the warring Kingdoms of Mongo. With endlessly repeatable dialogue, inimitable camp style, the sonic stylings of Queen and a delightful band of characters and actors playing them it's no wonder Flash Gordon has become one of the most beloved sci-fi spectacles of it's era with directors such as Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Seth MacFarlane paying tribute to it in their work.

One of the best Sci-Fi movie remakes of a TV series ever with Queen music! Love it. It looks and sounds better than ever now. I can't believe how this one looks considering it is from 1980. This is the 4K disc edition only. Comes with a nice slipcover also. The black case is pretty sturdy and not one of those cut out ones with arrows on left side.
Menu is nice and loads of extra features here. The documentary "Life After Flash" is not here on this edition, but can be found on the Arrow Box set with additional photo cards inside case.
Highly recommended for a good '80s Sci-Fi adventure!
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.
