Taken on a train.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The film is basically Taken but on a train and there is nothing wrong with that. Liam is wonderful and relatable as usual. Sound and picture on the 4k disc is first rate.

Classic Bill Murray

Bill Murray has charm, whit, and a perfect sense of incompetence. His character is caught up in a spy plot that he thinks is a live performance art piece.

The preview for this movie made it look horrible. I took a chance because of the cast and because it was in the bargain Bin. Its a good thing that I did it's stupid hilarious.

Enjoyable film with lots of rewatch value

Verified Purchase:Yes
This film has always looked and sounded amazing and the upgrade to 4k UHD has raised the bar again. The vibrant colors, unique design elements, immersive surround mix, and avant garde musical score make it a feast for the eyes and ears. All of the characters are unique and quirky. This adds up to a movie that is unlike anything else ever made. The 4k package also contains the remastered Blu-ray with extras and the Best Buy steelbook is certainly the way to go.

Great sound, great performance
on September 13, 2018
Posted by: Alan

Verified Purchase:Yes
As with all David Gilmour releases the sound quantity, packaging, and extras are all first rate. The performances are wonderful as well. The only thing that lets the release down a little is that the picture quality changes depending on the camera view, but it's a very small issue. A must for any Gilmour or Pink Floyd fan.

Unique move with great action

Verified Purchase:Yes
Driver features a Synth heavy soundtrack that is reminiscent of the 1980's. Lots of mystery surrounds most of the characters and the viewer feels they all have a backstory that we don't know, which makes them feel well rounded and real. The surround mix on the film is excellent, particularly the opening sequence.

Three great movies, one great price
on August 30, 2018
Posted by: Alan
from Chicago
Verified Purchase:Yes
All three Austin Powers movies are worth owning because even though the humor is pretty sophomoric they are some of the rare movies that get funnier with each viewing. It's clear that Mike Myers is James Bond fan. Bond fans who don't take that film series too seriously get a number of laugh for the fun that these have lovingly playing with Bond cliches.

Could have been near perfect
on August 30, 2018
Posted by: Alan
from Chicago
Verified Purchase:Yes
Every year of the Clone Wars series the animation took a major step forward and season 6, or The Lost Missions is no exception. The animation is near Pixar quality, which is impressive for something that was meant as a weekly tv series. The release also contains unfinished episodes since the show was canceled mid production by new Lucas Film owner Disney. The only thing that lets this release down is that the 5.1 audio is not in a lossless format.

A fun way to spend 2 hours
on August 20, 2018
Posted by: Alan
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film uses fairly broad comedy which is in no way subtle. Most characters are drawn as caricatures in order to maximize comedic potential. Considering our current climate some of the anti-conservative elements are even more poignant today than they would have be on the movie's initial release. With respect to the look and sound of the film the colors are vibrant but the picture lacks fine detail and the 5.1 mix isn't particularly active. The disc also contains no special features which is a shame because with this level of talent involved I'm sure there are some interesting making of type stories.

Reference Pictue and Sound quality
on August 20, 2018
Posted by: Alan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film is a pure popcorn flick, don't expect any high concepts or anything that requires too much thought. There's nothing wrong with that though. Sometimes it's nice to turn off your brain and enjoy some mindless action. The picture, apart from the CGI of the main monster is reference quantity. In 4k the colors and high dynamic range really take the picture to the next level compared to the standard Blu-ray. The Audio is also of reference quality. The surround mix is immersive even on a well setup and calibrated 5.1 home theater system.
