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!

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.

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 ~

Verified Purchase:Yes
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.
In the '90s, the burb of Woodsboro was murderously menaced by the shrouded slasher dubbed Ghostface-and now, someone has claimed the mantle and is continuing the body count. A new generation of pop culture-savvy teens struggles to suss out the killer's identity before they're picked off in this effective and winking InchrequelInch for the meta mayhem franchise. Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid co-star with legacy performers including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

BEWARNED!!! NO regular Blu-ray Disc included!!!
ByHomeTheaterElite
Great movie! But Bewarned that this edition ONLY includes the 4K UHD Disc and a Digital Copy. For $30 this should have included a regular Blu-ray disc. I have only one 4K UHD disc player in my home theater and the 4K disc is useless in the rest of my players. Disappointed in this purchase!
You have the 4K/Digital copy only version. The Steel book version has the regular Blu-ray in it as well for about 5 bucks more. Your link in your review shows the picture stating there is NO Blu-ray in the package.
This has been showing as coming soon for a few months. Initial pre-orders were super under supplied and it never restocked. Stores show zero stock for release day. And yet people on ebay are selling 10+ copies.
You should have put in for a pre-order as soon as you saw this steelbook on the website. I did just that and got 1 copy, which is all I wanted. Don't even wait until the month it is supposed to be released. Your chances then will be slim to none.
Three-disc set includes Scream (1996)Director Wes Craven's slyly self-referential shocker follows a group of high school horror film fans in a small California town who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious masked slasher. Newscaster Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) thinks this killer also did in teenager Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) mother the year before, even though the supposed murderer is behind bars. Skeet Ulrich, David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Drew Barrymore co-star. 111 min. C/Rtg R Scream 2 (1997)The ghost-faced killer from the first film is gone, and the survivors are trying to get on with their lives. But when the debut of a horror movie based on the murders called InchStabInch is marred by copycat killings, it becomes clear to everyone that a new round of terror is about to begin. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jada Pinkett star in this spooky, witty sequel. 120 min. C/Rtg R Scream 3 (2000)The third time is a bloody charm in Wes Craven's cut-and-cut-up series. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now a recluse working for a women's crisis hot-line, travels to Hollywood, where cast members of film-within-a film InchStab 3Inch are being slaughtered and pictures of Sidney's mother are being left at the crime scene. Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Patrick Dempsey, and Parker Posey co-star, with several surprising cameos. 117 min. C/Rtg R

~ SCREAM 3 movie set includes 2 more Blu-rays ~
By93Vet
Fantastic 5 Blu-ray set that includes the first 3 SCREAM movies, and 2 documentary style features on separate Blu-rays.
Digital codes are provided as well for the movies. The picture and sound are good and still hold up well in the 4K system TV and player.
Menus are great with easy selections. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the movie series.
Find a good deal on this set, This one is a keeper in the horror collection!
Love the steel books. The only negative about this is the cardboard box they came in. It's thick enough but should have been put in a steel shell like The Lord of the Rings Other than that, it's a great series in awesome steel book cases.
If it was metal, it would have cost more to make and sell. Any shipment would most likely be dented up as well considering the shipping boxes and packing.

Mindless Fun in 4K!
ByRoflfeathers
John Carpenter’s follow up to the classic Escape from New York is a bit of a hit and miss. There are some likable characters this go round and Snake has the one-liners completely covered. A rehashed story similar to the structure from the original movie, albeit in a new locale, weakens it overall. A short runtime makes it worthwhile for a popcorn action flick, so sit back and watch the explosions! Note: The 4K presentation is amazing, color grading and grain structure are all in respectable standards for this release. I had to return this product before opening because of an audio issue with the surround sound track. This is documented online and Paramount is aware and offering a disc replacement program to fix this. If you have a white UPC code on the back, you’ll need a replacement, but if there is a yellow UPC code, you’re in the clear.
After realizing that this was only just the three movies released during the years of 1995 and 2002, this is not the full complete collection, and completely not worth the price.
Shout Factory already released the first 5 in the lineup, nice packaging, separately some time ago. This set completes the movies, but it was under Miramax, and they had to get licensing for another release on 4K. It's all in one package with a nice box.
Zack Snyder's feature directorial debut, this remake of the George Romero zombie classic finds a diverse group of people holed up in a Wisconsin shopping mall, besieged by an army of undead attackers. Their only hope is a daring exodus to a remote island they believe to be safe from the flesh-eating fiends. Ving Rhames, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Ty Burrell star. Director's cut; 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

Dawn of the Dead......4K Blu-ray
ByLeon8
Had to grab this 4k Bluray version of Dawn of the Dead one of my favorite zombie horde movies. You get a 4k unrated version, plus a bluray unrated, and also the theatrical version on a Bluray (3 Disc) and they're loaded with special features, would recommend.

F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook!
ByTommyC1
Awesome F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook! No new special features unfortunately but F13 TFC remains a classic and the best of the series!
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.
