A sci-fi epic, that comes along once every decade, that really truly is an element and a testament to it's time. A great parable of the times and done very well. A sony 4k, so that always means quality, especially when it comes to audio impact, but due to the nature of the filming techniques deployed it may not seem nearly as earth shattering as other 4k catalogue releases. Still highly recommended.

Great movie; good origin story and a good use of voice talent, I very much like this movie better than the newest version. Animation is more crisp and less jerky and better plot mechanics; good stuff here. Get it.

I very much enjoy this movie; it's dark, gritty, and nihilistic. Sure, if that's not your thing, you may not like it, but if you like Venom and thought the movie was severely lacking, Upgrade does a much better job of that story concept. Sure it's A.I. and not a 'symbiote' but the a,i. better reflects the villain (not anti-hero) approach the concept takes in the comic books. good movie, give it a go.

This is when the Furious franchise turned into the juggernaut of action mayhem goodness. A really fun, entertaining movie for mischief and machismo. The 4k transfer and audio track are very well done (unlike 6 and 7). So get it!

It's hard to rate this item, as I find the steelbook very sleek and very conservative and very nice. A good grey and black color scheme. But, but the movie is only middling. It's not bad, but certain choices the creators made really broguht it down a few pegs for me. All in all good for the price though..
Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

A dark, gritty comic book movie classic. When it comes to a comic book, it always seems like the villain steals the show. Heath Ledger puts in a fine performance. Not only a classic super hero move, but truly a fine crime Deana as well. Get it!

A real classic. A mesmerizing and dazzling display of desperation and the darkness that is the human soul. Great cast, better directing and true showcase of an auteur.
