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.

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!

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.
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.

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….
Byrichsto
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.

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.
