Looks great in Black and white. I don't think it would be any other way in this one. Martin Landau does a great job as the late Bela Lugosi. Lots of stars of the era, including Johnny Depp as the main, Ed Wood.
Looks good and sound is good for the HD Blu-ray. Menu is great with background music. Lots of special features.

In one of the horror comedies of 1990, ARACHNOPHOBIA stars the comedic genius of John Goodman as the exterminator. The movie surrounds the events of an exotic type of spider that infiltrates a local town and wreaks havoc.
Looks good here on the Blu-ray. Hopefully, we get a nice 4K upgrade in the future. If any movie from 1990 deserves a 4K upgrade, it's this one! A nice steelbook would be awesome and digital code.
Celebrate the 25th anniversary of this beloved masterpiece starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. Depp delivers the performance that launched his career, as Edward, an irresistibly charming creation with razor-sharp metal hands and a heart of gold. Edward's lonely life in a Gothic castle changes forever when he meets a kindhearted Avon Lady (Dianne Wiest), who takes him to a pastel paradise known as Suburbia. Thanks to his fantastic talents, Edward becomes a neighborhood sensation, but when he falls in love with Kim (Winona Ryder), he must go to extraordinary lengths to protect her.

In one of 1990s best movies, comes Edward Scissorhands. Johnny Depp stars as the main character with the late horror icon Vincent Price as the Inventor.
Edward was created by "Vincent", but passed on before he could finish him in some way.
Edward is taken in by a local "Avon lady" of the town below the Mansion and so begins the adventure....
The movie looks good here on the 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray. Audio is English DTS-HD 4.0. There are subtitle options and easy selections on the Menu. Menu design is fabulous. There is a featurette and Theatrical Trailer.
Wynona Ryder plays the daughter with Anthony Michael Hall (Sixteen Candles, Weird Science) having a role as well.

~ Flatliners gets the 4K release and it's superb ~

In one of Julia Roberts early movies from 1990, she plays a medical student along with some well-known actors of the day. They embark on a dangerous obsession to see what lays just after flatlining, the moment of physical death.
They each embark on this to see what one can see, and they keep pushing the boundaries of time being "out".
The movie looks good here on the 4K! Audio is English DTS-HD master audio 5.1. Good menu with easy selections.
Numerous special features from previous releases.
I recommend!
*Note, I bought this for 19.99 when I went into the store. Online, they want 39.99. Don't do it.
In the mid-21st century, the interplanetary research vessel Event Horizon vanishes near the outer reaches of the solar system. Seven years later, the ship just as mysteriously reappears, and a rescue/salvage team is sent out to meet it, unaware that an evil alien presence is on board, waiting for them. Spellbinding sci-fi suspenser that has built a strong cult following over the years stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, and Joely Richardson. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French; audio commentary; Inchmaking ofInch featurettes; theatrical trailers. Two-disc set.

Wow, what a fantastic Sci-Fi horror movie! Very happy to own this now in the 4K UHD format. A space vessel, the Event Horizon, was supposedly lost in space on a mission. A Rescue ship is sent with the engineer played by Sam Neil, who designed it, to see what happened.
Once the "team" finds the missing ship, they board it, searching for any survivors.
What they find is a nightmarish scenario no one could have imagined or is there another reason?
Looks fantastic on the 4K! Includes the Blu-ray copy, digital copy, nice slipcover. Easy menu selections.

In one of Bruce WIllis' '90s movies, he's sent from the dismal future where humanity has been ravaged by a virus, to the past, mid 1990s. Once there, he must find answers and clues to preventing its spread into the future. With the help of a woman, played by Madeline Stowe, he seeks out the Army of the 12 Monkeys.
Not what I thought this movie was going to be. It's okay for the most part, but not stellar. Brad Pitt co-stars.
It looks fair here on the 4K, I thought for being a 1995 movie, it would look better. Audio is English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.
*This does not include a Blu-ray copy. It only contains the 4K UHD disc, nice slipcover, and a booklet inside.
I am a Bruce Willis fan, so adding this to my library considering he can't do acting jobs any longer in his health condition as of Feb. 2023.

A great replacement of the worn out one I had to get for my Samsung Galaxy 21 phone in only a year's time. That one was white. This is black and looks better overall. Easy replacement and was not that expensive. Under 10.

~ Saturday Night Fever on 4K UHD 45th Anniversary!
on January 19, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
In one of John Travolta's iconic movies, the movie itself is a worthy look of NY and the mid to late '70s disco scene.
Is it a notable improvement over the Blu-ray itself? It's slight, in my opinion. I own over 1,000 movies and over half are 4K now. There is some improvement in detail, but it is not stellar. Sound is still good though as well in a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD.
I have a Sony 4K player and TV. Soundbar is Sony as well, a new 2023 model. It depends on what equipment you have currently for best results.
I saw no dirt at all in this movie, so yes, it was a slight improvement over the current Blu-ray version for detail.
4K~ Audio options are numerous with English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD being at the top, 4 other languages at 5.1. Commentary by Director John Badham. Subtitles are fabulous at 14 languages or no subtitles.
Menu is okay for the 4K, a still frame of John in dance. No music background.
Blu-ray ~ Menu is fantastic with motion scenes from the movie, background music "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.
*Director's Cut and Theatrical Cut selections Director's is 3 minutes longer at 2:02 Theatrical is 1:59. Audio is same as 4KUHD 5.1 DolbyTrueHD English
*Special Features: '70s Discopedia Catching the Fever Back To Bay Bridge Dance Like Travolta with John Cassese Fever Challenge! Deleted Scene: Tony and Stephanie in car.
Comes with Digital copy, and a nice Slipcover. I do recommend this one if you love John. GREASE is also phenomenal on 4K. BLOWOUT was also outstanding in 4K Criterion Edition. Awaiting URBAN COWBOY now on 4K.
Adult themes throughout. I do recommend this one, but not for younger audiences.

Outstanding first effort for THOR. The UHD 4K is amazing in picture and sound! If you have not seen this one by now, I highly recommend this one before you see the others. Loki looking and acting his best in this one. He is NOT the same one here as he is in the series of the same name.
Menus are great with easy selections. Comes with Digital copy and HD Blu-ray version as well.
Slipcovers from these older releases are going to be extremely hard to find, if you can at all.

Outstanding western starring the veteran Clint Eastwood. Clint is a drifter coming into a sleepy town one day, with intentions of getting even. Unfortunately for the towns people, they already know what's coming and hire this "drifter" to help protect them.
Things get dicey when on the first day of arrival, the three men previously hired to protect the town get themselves shot to death by antagonizing the drifter while he is in for a shave. The town "leaders" are then forced to hire him not knowing who he really is.
Great picture quality! It's an improvement over the previous Blu-ray and the sound is superb. Well done KINO LORBER!
Special Features are brought over to this edition and easy selections on the menus.
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.
