Outstanding edition of this 1981 Classic! Well done on the whole package! Artwork, imagery, picture and sound are superb. If you own the previous Blu-rays that have been issued in the past, you can recycle those now. This is a 4K restored edition and I believe all special features have been brought over to the Disc 3 included here. Slipcover is great. Artwork is on all 3 discs. I love that. I think every movie should be this way instead of the plain blue or gray Paramount seems to give theirs on some movies.
Menus are good with easy selections.
Highly recommend for all Kurt Russell fans! He would go on to do THE THING next in 1982 for John Carpenter.
A Prohibition crime thriller about the battle between gangster Al Capone and federal agent Eliot Ness. Ness and his team of do-gooders set out on a mission to put crime lord Capone out of business.

Outstanding! This is one of the best designed steelbooks out there, beautifully done Paramount! Picture and sound are amazing now. A true upgrade over the previous Blu-rays that have been out for some time.
This is the 4K release and digital for the 35th Anniversary.
If you like '30s period Chicago era prohibition movies, especially with Capone, this is the one!
De Niro does a great job playing the Gangster Al Capone. Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Charles Martin Smith, Andy Garcia star as the "good guys" out to get Capone anyway they can.
Beautiful edition throughout and I believe all special features have been brought over to the 4K disc edition. Menu is fabulous with easy selections.
Highly recommended! Not for kids under 13 however, in my opinion.
Tobe Hooper (InchPoltergeistInch) directs this sci-fi shocker, based on the book InchSpace VampiresInch by Colin Wilson. The only survivors of a doomed space expedition are one crew member and a trio of humanoids discovered in suspended animation. Once brought back to London, the aliens reveal their ability to drain the life force out of living beings, putting everyone on Earth in jeopardy. Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Mathilda May, Frank Finlay, and Patrick Stewart star. 101 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English Dolby Atmos; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

A superb edition! The best to date for this 1985 Sci-Fi thriller featuring one of the best-looking female villain leads of all time, Mathilda May in all her nude glory. The 4K here is stunning with improved sound overall. This is the new 2021 4K scan of the original negative for the Theatrical version. You get that on the 4K and Blu-ray here in this set.
The third Blu-ray is the Director's Edition with more footage. It looks good here on the Blu-ray, but it is the same version that was released with the LIFEFORCE Steelbook awhile back. I have that version as well.
Different artwork on this 4K 3 disc set throughout.
The Director's Edition does not have the 4K scan. Shame that was not done as well. There are some minor black specks on the film in that version. Still looks good and sounds good, but could have been better if on the 4K disc also.
There is no making of LIFEFORCE on this or the Steelbook version Blu-ray sets. Pretty much everything else is here as far as features.

THIS is THE definitive edition to have for The Justice League! ZACK SNYDER, thank you for making this happen!
Love the artwork and the entire movie throughout!
I have watched this more than a few times now. I can watch it in 2 parts, but I have watched it straight through also, with a break in between at about 2 hours.
One of the best comic book movies ever now. The 4K is stunning.

Simply fantastic edition of The Fast and the Furious! Get THIS set and relive the very first movie in the franchise. Love the added extras also. I cannot wait to see this on the 85" Sony 4K!
I do recommend if you love movies about cars/race cars in general. I would not recommend for ages under 13.

NIcolas Cage stars yet again on a quest to find a well hidden treasure and clear his family name in the process. He and his father soon discover that their family name is tied to the assassination of former President Abraham Lincoln. While attending a history lecture on John Wilkes Booth, it appears their last name is part of history, one in which they do not want to be. Benjamin and his team involved must now search for the long lost City of Gold hidden away in South Dakota, most notably in Mount Rushmore. Along the way is a man and his team that want the treasure also and had the actual missing page from Mr. Wilkes diary to validate his family claim on the quest.
I thought the movie was great, not as good as the first one, but pretty good overall. The cast of the first movie comes back and does a great job. The movie looks and sounds great on the 4K TV and player. Menus are great and easy selections. I do recommend this one. Find a good deal.

Nicolas Cage stars as a member of the Gates family that has basically had a secret in the family line for decades. Now, Benjamin must take action to see whether the actual treasure exists or not. With the help of others, his soon to be girlfriend played by Diane Kruger, a tech savvy friend named Riley, and his father, he sets out for the ultimate prize hidden for generations. On his tail however are former partners that now want it all instead of sharing the discovery.
This is a well made action adventure movie that has good action and mystery. I really liked this one. Highly recommend it. The Blu-ray looks and sounds amazing on the 4K TV and player.
The heat is on again in this funny and thrilling sequel! After Captain Bogomil (Ronny Cox) is wounded by a merciless gang of high-tech robbers, Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) once again travels from Detroit to Beverly Hills to investigate.

Alex Foley returns to Beverly Hills, Ca. to help his fellow cops in what is known as the Alphabet robberies and crimes. This sequel from 1987 looks good and sounds good now. A good solid sequel to the franchise.
This is only the 4K and Digital copy release. Blu-rays for this movie have already been released previously.
This edition also comes with a slipcover, so if you collect those as well, be sure to get it while you can.
Now, we just have to wait for Beverly Hills Cop III on 4K.

I think this is perhaps one of the best movies that Robin Williams has done in his career. No, it's not for everyone, but it concerns his family and the tragedy it undertakes in a course of a few years. Their family is torn when their kids die in a vehicle accident. He and his wife are both dealing with it emotionally for a long, long time. After driving home from work, Robin's character as a doctor suddenly experiences yet another vehicle accident. He tries to help out as best he can with one particular victim, but somehow becomes a victim himself in the process. He becomes deceased and meets his angelic guide to the afterlife. His grieving widow just can't seem to deal with the huge loss yet again for someone she loves. She is emotionally depressed and takes her own life. Robin's spirit and his angelic guide must now face reality that they may not be able to rescue her or ever see her again.
I liked the movie and it's basically a love story that even after death, your love still exists for each other and may be even stronger.
It looks good now on HD Blu-ray! It is far superior the outdated DVD. Find a good deal on this one!

~ Friday, part 3 gets the steelbook, NO 3D version
on May 19, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Love the new Friday the 13th Part 3 steelbook edition, however NO 3D edition in this set. So, beware of that. Artwork is great throughout. The 3D version was released previously and is the 1982 3D Theatrical with Red and Blue paper glasses you had to wear.
The image on this particular 2D Blu-ray edition is cleaner and the sound is improved to DTS 5.1.
I know the first four parts of the series was already 4K scanned, so it does look improved when played back on the 4K player and 4K TV.
I compared this edition to the previous Paramount Blu-ray release, which had BOTH versions on the same disc.
This steelbook edition appeared cleaner and had less noticeable dirt, particularly in the opening scenes with the ending of part 2.
The menu is fairly good but had no background music. I wish they would have used the wood looking lettering for this edition like the VHS and DVD copy. I can understand for the continuity of the other previous two movies.
I am going to subtract 1 star for Paramount not having the 3D version on this release as well as the 2D.
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. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks English DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, Dolby Digital 5.1, DVS, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish, Portuguese; featurettes.

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….

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.
The Terminator returns in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he's one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable. Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the ultimate enemy-the T-1000, the most lethal Terminator ever created.
