A solid, decent addition to the Ant-Man movie series. Steelbook is gorgeous, without a doubt one of the best designed inside and out.
Movie itself was good overall but had some bad dialog that could have been rewritten or deleted altogether.
Be careful with this one if you have little ones that are under 13 years of age. There is language in the movie that is offensive. Action scenes were good throughout.
Picture and sound are phenomenal on the soundbar and Sony equipment.

This series looks and sounds better than ever on the HD Blu-ray format! For the 45th Anniversary this year in 2023, I went and purchased this set. I was not disappointed at all. This is the widescreen edition only for this series. The other set has both aspect ratios. I prefer the widescreen now over the TV version one.
Beautiful transfer, Universal! Also includes the Galactica 1980 series. Nice outer slip box!

Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos, DVS stereo, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish, French; Two-disc set.

I honestly did not know what to expect with this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised on it and how well all the actors did here. Great storyline and action. Looks and sounds good here on the 4K UHD! Well done on this one!
Two dim-witted, inseparable friends hit the road for their ten-year high school reunion and concoct an elaborate lie about their lives in order to impress their classmates.

Wow, what a great movie for these two comedic genuises. A 1997 movie on the antics of two besties that want to go to their 10-year High School Reunion.
Movie looks good and sounds good on the HD Blu-ray. Some good special features and menu is great, too.

I really enjoyed this one with the late John Belushi. Looks and sounds good on the 4K UHD format! Nice slipcover, 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copy here. Check out The Blues Brothers as well on 4K with John and Dan. Brilliant.
Gripping sci-fi actioner follows the global catastrophes that occur when a government project to create earthquakes causes the Earth's molten core to stop spinning.

Although not near as good as Deep Impact as a picture, this one had its moments. Some good characters, some bad dialog though also. Visuals are good on the 4K now, more detail overall. Audio is English DTS 5.1. I don't know why Paramount did not upgrade this one to Dolby Atmos 7.1. It would have made a difference I believe. Still, when played back through the soundbar, it is fairly decent. This is just the 4K edition, with slipcover and digital copy. NO Blu-ray here.
I do recommend but find a good deal on it. For the package, you should not spend more than 19.99.
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. With time running out, a NASA team led by a veteran astronaut (Robert Duvall) is sent to try and destroy the comet, while a lottery is held to pick the million Americans to be housed in specially built caves to survive the coming catastrophe. 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. Two-disc set.

~ Deep Impact on 4K UHD for the 25th Anniversary ~

Outstanding edition and improved picture over the previous Blu-ray edition. I am happy to own this for the 25th Anniversary and get the nice slipcover and digital copy. However, I wish the audio had been upgraded to Dolby Atmos 7.1. We get the English DTS 5.1. For a 1998 movie, it still holds up and looks great in 4K UHD!
All special features are on the Blu-ray included here in the set.
All the special effects from 1998 still look good in 4K. I do recommend!

~ Escape From L.A. on 4K! Nice slipcover/digital ~

Verified Purchase:Yes
The sequel to Escape From New York finds Snake on yet another high profile mission to rescue the President's daughter this time, or perhaps it is the military device she holds instead. Snake excepts the mission under pressure of course after the leaders inject a virus into his bloodstream. Time is a factor as always and Snake somehow seems to get it done by the skin of his teeth with a little help.
I have to say this is an improvement over previous editions. Better sound now on the 4K and the picture is good with enhanced graphics as opposed to it before.
Kurt Russell delivers another action guilty pleasure to take your mind off reality for under 2 hours.
This is the 4K edition ONLY. Nice slipcover and digital copy. You can retire those older versions now.
Not as good as Escape From New York, but solid 4 stars. I do recommend if you are a Kurt Russell fan.
Behind every great martial artist lies a teacher. Ip Man, starring Donnie Yen, is the award-winning film adaptation about the life story of Ip Man, grandmaster of Wing Chun and mentor to legendary kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. Set in Fo Shan, China during the Sino-Japanese War, Ip Man vividly brings to life the brutality of the infamous Japanese occupation, where once proud men are forced to fight to the death for a precious bag of rice. Defined by courage and humility, Ip Man, whose fighting skills are revered all over China, rises to the fore front. Upon refusing to teach his martial arts to the invading Japanese soldiers, he is forced to fight for the honor of his country in a series of battles that will culminate in a kill-or-be-killed showdown with Japan's greatest fighter.

It is hard to believe that this movie is now over 40 years old. Still holds up to this day from 1981.
Two best friends set out to see London and England but get caught up in a werewolf frenzy and have to deal with their new reality in shocking fashion.
Picture and sound really look good here. Arrow video has done a great job. No digital copy here on this edition. The 4K is all you need for this movie.
Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it is a good movie set in 1980.the music score is what makes the movie really good because new score is all done by Queen. What makes the steelbook really good as it's the 40th anniversary of the movie itself. Anybody knows the story behind Flash Gordon knows the story itself. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Doctor Zarcough have to find a way to stop Earth's destruction. Not knowing that Ming the Merciless is behind everything and Earth's destruction. Having the 40th anniversary edition come out on steelbook is worth every penny.

Classic gaming at its best
ByJskin8
Smaller than the previous countercades and uses different size power supply. Cabinet looks great. Sound is adjustable which is a definite improvement from gen 1 countercades.
Hi, I have Ms. Pac-Man on a tabletop version and it is exact like the genuine ARCADE version from early 80s. In the original version of the game she starts out slow and then she speeds up as you clear a few screens, around the PEACH and APPLE stages. Is it the same here on the countercade version?
Of interest concerning MS., PAC-MAN on my tabletop, there are several versions of the game. These are the only ones that I know of: MS. PAC-MAN Original MS. PAC-MAN Speed-Up MS. PAC-MAN Plus MS. PAC-ATTACK

Dissatisfied with Arcade1Up service
ByKosmo
I received the game from best buy but I have to deal with Arcade1up for any problems with the machine. I received a defective game and they have not replaced it. It's been 3 weeks since the last communication with them and I have not heard anything.
Since you bought it from BEST BUY, give them the receipt and ask for a replacement or a refund since it was damaged and defective. BEST BUY is the seller and they are responsible.

Another great package from Arcade1up
ByTRAINMAN0703
The very best aspect of this over Arcade1up's original Pac-Man offering is the upgraded monitor. The original Pac-Man's image would wash out when you looked at it from a slight angle. This rendition does not do that. The image is bright and crisp from any angle. The monitor is also set further back in the cabinet and tilted more, which does not sound like much on paper until you actually play it and compare it to the real arcade machine.
I buy these things solely with modifications in mind, therefore I did not play any of the included games right out of the box. For those who do not "mod" these, the assortment of games is a vast improvement over the chintzy offering of a mere 2 Pac-titles in the last Pac-Man cabinet. I am baffled by the inclusion of "Galaga" however. Pac-Man's "lady friend" would have been great here, but she is getting her own royal treatment (and deservedly so) soon. I must point out that they did change the way the control panel mounts to the cabinet and how the lower two front-facing panels (these are also slightly resized) directly below said control panel install. Because of the alteration(s) to the control panel, you cannot just slide in/out the panels below it, which will make for a tricky assembly process. The shape of the cabinet itself is another notable improvement as it veers much closer to capturing the profile of the real thing. The speakers (yes, speakerS) are now housed behind/under the marquee, which is also far more arcade-like not just in looks but also sound reproduction.
The light-up marquee, light-up (albeit non-prototypical) control deck, bar stool and riser make this package the best value of any Pac-Man 40th anniversary offering, as separate-sale risers are VERY hard to come by; and, to my knowledge, the 40th anniversary-themed bar stool is not sold separately at all. Again, I will gripe that the design on the riser does not look like a natural extension of the cabinet. The faux-wood grain should be on the sides and the black in the front. Oh well. This can be fixed with after-market graphics for those who really feel the need. I think I personally would have preferred the cabinet to be yellow like the 1980 prototype, but the "cabaret" models of the time did indeed have a wood grain finish, albeit with no graphics.
If you did not get the original Pac-Man cabinet from Arcade1up, this is most certainly worthy of consideration. Other than the slightly trickier assembly, this is an improvement in almost every way.
Hi, great review of the newer version of PAC-MAN from Arcade1up. I am going to get this one for my upcoming 54th bday! Yes, I am showing my age, but, I was 13 when the original cabinet came out. I loved it then and I still love it now. I would have to agree with you on the riser part as per the graphics, but, I think they were going for a contrast look. Agreed also, they should have continued the wood grain on the sides and kept the black on the front to make it look uniform. I do love the SPECIAL EDITION from Best Buy. Not only do you get the light up aspects of the unit, you also get the stand with the graphics. My only complaint would be the unit having the AUDIO switch setting too loud if you go beyond 1.

Piece of crap
ByUnhappyPACMANlover
I purchased this classic game, mainly for Super Pac Man. Every time anyone begins to play this game, it immediately restarts itself after 5 seconds!!! A waste of money!!!! Do not purchase!!!
That's too bad. I think you got a glitch in the part where the circuit board is. I had the original GALAGA/GALAXIAN game and in some games on the GALAXIAN the screen froze up right in the middle of playing. I was not a happy person. I got rid of it and sold it cheap to someone else that wanted GALAGA, which had no issues.
SUPER PAC-MAN is going to be on the MS. PAC-MAN cabinet coming soon AND there is a SUPER PAC-MAN cabinet from COSTCO that has it on it's own. This just came out within a few days to a week. September 15, 2020. You have to go to COSTCO and find someone with a membership to purchase. You cannot get it online to my knowledge.
Set up your gaming room with this Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console. The classic upright design has a midsize profile for seamless fitting in tight spaces, while the 17-inch LCD screen offers crisp visuals for complete immersion. This Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console features four games for a complete nostalgic experience, and the coinless operation allows unlimited play.

Ms PacMan Cabinet
ByOval
Packaging was great and care has been taken to protect the parts in transit. Assembly was about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish. I was taking my time to make sure I didn’t scratch any pcs during assembly. The cabinet looks great and the light up marquee really makes it stand out. The graphics on the riser add a nice touch as well. The cabinet comes with dual speakers and the sound quality is good. I bought the cabinet for Ms Pac-Man but having Dig Dug was a bonus. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Definitive!!!
BySirDevoidOfHate
The definitive collection, and probably the last one you’ll ever need (unless they do a 4K release in the future). The first four films have never looked better, period! And if you’re a 3D supporter (we’re a dying breed these days, but we’re out there!) then you will love finally having a proper 3D release of Part 3! Also, having the Unrated Cut of Jason Goes to Hell is a major plus! The bonus features are very informative, though it’s a shame that the Crystal Lake Memories documentary isn’t included. That’s not to take away from what Scream Factory put together. This is an AMAZING collection!
HI, I have this set as well from Shout! Factory and it appears there is a minor audio issue with Jason X. A sound effect is not present when Jason goes to kill a woman character in the movie. JGTH seems to be missing a scene from other reviewers I have read on. I am not worried about this as I have the UNRATED DVD from Lionsgate already.
Great movie. But so removed from the original animated movie, you might enjoy it more if you consider them to not have anything to do with each other. There’s no music, no Mushu, no romance. The only real thing making it a Mulan movie is her name is Mulan. They don’t do a great job of making you feel like she’s a boy in the army. It’s a lazy gender bend if you ask me. But the movie has everything a live action Disney movie can want or need. Great story, great special effects, great score, great action and emotion. Just don’t compare it to the cartoon too much and you’ll like it a lot more.
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. Hobbit Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship embark on a dangerous quest to destroy the One Ring, and with it, its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron, in order to save Middle Earth forever. 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).

Very pleased, excellent transfer
ByNateC
Unlike some other buyers, luckily my copy came right on time and in perfect condition.
The movies themselves are phenomenally mastered with crisp picture, robust hdr color/contrast, and awesome 4k textures I've never seen before on previous inferior versions. These look excellent in my home theater and serve as the new showcase for my system (which used to be Mad Max: Fury Road). The steelbooks are attractive and come with cushioning foam in the slipcase to protect them from rubbing against each other.
Not as much extra content (i.e. The Appendices) as previous versions, so I'll need to keep my old copy as well.

Excellent 1up Arcade game cabinet!
ByPacManPlayer
Brings back memories of hanging out at the Arcade with a pocket full of quarters when I was young. My daughter absolutely loves it and we enjoy seeing who can get the high score on this 40th Anniversary Pac-Man. The custom stool is nice and the backlit Marquis and control deck is really nice. The led control deck has a button on the right that can change the colors or slowly rotate through all the colors. The replay value is good for the list of Pac-Man games plus you get Galaga! Very happy.
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.
