Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut looks stunning now in 4K for the 30th Anniversary Edition! The overall package, design and discs are all nicely done. Picture quality and sound are fabulous and it makes you think you are right there with the guys in the military boat making its way through the river. All special features have been brought over from other releases, and you get the HEART OF DARKNESS feature as well.
This is a war movie and not for the younger viewers. HIghly recommended for all those that love Robert Duvall. His portrayal of a Colonel in this movie is spectacular. Martin Sheen also does a great job as the Captain put in charge of the boat to destroy a lunatic colonel out in the jungle.

~ SPEED 4K Steelbook is nothing short of Superb! ~

Wow, what can I say about this 1994 movie that was a smash hit for not only Keanu Reeves, but Sandra Bullock as well. I believe it was her first major starring role. She did THE NET after this one and the rest is history for her. Keanu was already and up and coming star in his own right. He's one of my current favorite male actors and has two hit franchises to his name, THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK.
This newest release is just stunning now in 4K. It has never looked as good, in my opinion and I already owned the previous Blu-ray put out by FOX.
Special Features are really good and looks like most of them were brought over from the 2 Disc DVD set that was released years ago. The discs themselves even have artwork on them as they should be for a nicely done release as this. Kudos all around!
This is a good one to get folks! Highly recommended!

PAC-MAN finally gets a deluxe version 12 - 1 unit.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, we have a Pac-Man unit that has 12 games in it and makes it one of the best cabinets for sale for the price point of about $400.00 retail. I have to say, get this unit if you are a fan of the Pac-Man games themselves. The only one that is missing from this is Jr. Pac-Man, the one with the scrolling maze that goes horizontally. This is my 4th Arcade 1Up cabinet, and it looks outstanding. The game play is outstanding as well.
Once you are on the game select screen showing the 12 icons, be sure to go to the "Settings" screen for each one. Instructions on how to do that are visible and press the appropriate button. You can make adjustments to each game, starting lives, level of difficulty, etc. You could not do this on previous cabinets. I own the Ms. Pac-Man 4 in 1 and there is no such settings menu.
The games will SAVE your high scores as long as you do not unplug it from the wall. The joystick is a bit clicky sounding when maneuvering as opposed to the original arcade unit where it was fairly silent.
The coin op black box on the front of the unit is painted on, it is not a sticker. The custom riser is fantastic and really adds to the overall look. I am over 6 foot, so it is definately a plus.
Now on to the assembly. The owners manual and assembly manual are both outstanding in detail.
Whatever you do, when you are ready to put the screen into the unit, take OFF the plastic on it first. The screws on the screen have plastic underneath it as well, so, LOOSEN those a bit so that when you take off the plastic, it will come right off no problem. Then, you can retighten the black screws back to position. This will save you a big headache of having plastic around each of the screws.
Now, the metal screws on the game board where the buttons and joystick are located, you can take a black permanent marker or black model paint and cover the surface heads. This way, it will be black and won't stand out so much on the black surface. Looks great.
The tiny screws that go into the plastic cornered parts are a bit of a pain to get in, so take some time on those. I built the custom riser first, and then started the unit. Give yourself about 3 - 4 hours for all of it. If you are a first time owner of one of these, you may break the assembly time up into sessions. It gets tedious if you are doing it yourself.
Make sure the final side panel fits secure into all the wooden pegs, etc, before tightening the screws.
All in all, a great cabinet to own for years to come if you take care of it. The custom riser and light up marquee look great and the overall look is outstanding.
Delivery was outstanding as well and nothing was missing from the box itself or damaged. Highly recommended!

Beautiful steelbook for the movie version of the ghostly cartoon. Great artwork throughout the steelbook. I would have liked this release to get the 4K treatment, however. I think a black 4K disc and the Blu-ray with some Casper artwork on the actual disc would have been superb. Still, a fun movie to sit and watch with the kiddos at Halloween or anytime they feel spooky enough to see the friendly ghost.
The sole surviving miner of a Valentine's Day disaster comes back to the aptly named town of Valentine Bluffs 20 years later to prey on the local teens, who have ignored warnings and decided to hold the once-cancelled holiday dance on February 14th inside the gloomy coal mine.

What a great steelbook for a 1980s slasher! This one is perhaps the best horror flick for Valentine's Day. This is the original 1981, not the remake.
This is a 2 disc set, much like that of the Scream Factory release with the slipcover. I am a collector of the steelbook format, so if it's good enough in overall artwork, I will buy it.
Special features are all brought over from the previous 2 disc version, but I have to say, the artwork on the actual Blu-rays are different than that of the slipcover release. Disc 1 is the Theatrical release. Disc 2 is the Uncut release with more intense kill scenes that were cut out of the original due to the movie ratings at the time in 1981. The 4K scan looks really good on the 4K TV and player.

So, the 40th Anniversary Edition of Friday the 13th is probably as good as it is going to get. It's a killer package and even includes the digital copy. Artwork is fantastic on front and back. Inside has artwork as well, not just a plain steel look as some of the early steelbooks of films or ones that don't go the extra effort to make it spectacular.
This Blu-ray is the UNCUT version and has the same features as previously released on the Blu-ray format. The only minor gripe I have with this set is the blue color Paramount decided to use on the actual disc.
They could have used the poster front artwork as seen on the cover of the steelbook. There is one like that, but it is part of the fairly new released Scream Factory box set of all the F13th movies together in one massive set.
All of those have the individual artwork on the discs. I am a steelbook collector and am looking forward to the PART II being released next month.
Highly recommended if you don't have the Steelbook of this one. I don't know if we will ever see a 4K disc version of this one, but if we do, I am in line for it.
This release features all three feature-length adventures in The Hobbit franchise, based on the novel of the same name by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Included here are The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014).

Amazing and beautiful set in steelbook form for all 3 Hobbit movies! This set is strictly the 4K UHD set. There are no blu-rays in these since they were already released prior in extended versions and theatrical. I have to note that anyone who buys these 4K sets will have to know there are NO Appendices in them. Those special features discs were previously offered in the Extended Blu-ray sets. So, don't expect them in these 2 new sets offered. I think they did only the 4K to keep the costs down overall on the package. It's quite expensive, regardless but beautifully done! My new set and The Lord of the Rings arrived UNDENTED. I am grateful! Highly recommended! Picture Quality and Sound in 7.1 Dolby Atmos are incredible.

Wow, just beautiful! Any RITA HAYWORTH fan will love this Blu-ray HD set, 12 movies in all on 6 HD blu-ray discs.
Movies are: MUSIC IN MY HEART YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH...(The Twilight Time Blu-ray has Trailer) TONIGHT AND EVERY NIGHT DOWN TO EARTH THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI THE LOVES OF CARMEN AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD SALOME MISS SADIE THOMPSON FIRE DOWN BELOW PAL JOEY THEY CAME TO CORDURA (Rita's last movie)
The set comes with a beautiful slipcover and then the Blu-ray insert has nicely done artwork as well, so it's not the same. Each Blu-ray has 2 movies and distinctive artwork with pinkish color to match the package slipcover. I have been a Rita Hayworth fan for several years and many of these on here have never been released on Blu-ray before.
The only special feature is Subtitles On or Off. Mill Creek distribution has never been big on offering such items as Special Features. It's basically the movie and perhaps some type of audio alternative. Menus are easy selections with the 2 movie titles given for each disc that is played. Highly recommended if you are a Rita Hayworth Fan! GET THIS BLU-RAY version!
This release brings together every entry into Peter Jackson's critically-acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Included here are The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

This is a beautiful set and I am very thankful I did not receive a damaged set, like some did. Yes, this is a metal case and can be damaged in shipment. Fortunately, my set was protected. There is no dents or scratches on it and the steelbooks themselves are in outstanding condition. Each one is protected in a velvet like sleeve. The picture and sound quality are outstanding and the Dolby Atmos is superb. There are NO Blu-rays in these sets. These are the 4K sets only and there is a Digital code for each movie on 1 piece of paper located in the first movie case. I am very happy with my set here, still awaiting for THE HOBBIT Trilogy to arrive.

Great movie with Matt Damon reprising his role as Jason Bourne! Steelbook looks good, we get the 4K/Blu-ray/Digital copy in this one. For the 5th movie in this franchise, I think it is one of the best. Find a good deal on this one.

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….

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.
