I've enjoyed these movies for years, and this new 4K set is really great. The images really pop and the sound is amazing. I decided to get the steelbook, and am glad I did. Really nicely made and design looks great. I'm always amused at the flying cars and other "modern" devices in the second movie, which is set in 2015. Oddly, no one has cell phones (maybe an "alternative timeline"?). A lot of fun to watch.
THERE'S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds it's own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

I bought the DVD years ago, and upgraded to the BluRay when it first came out. I'm glad I upgraded to the 4k version. Arrow Video did a great job on this release. I hope they re-release the other two movies in this series on 4K.

C/Rtg PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates.

I enjoyed watching this film on a Blu-Ray disc, but it's so much better in 4K. Vivid colors and awesome images. Really a fun, action-packed movie. Really enjoyed seeing Nicholas Hoult in this film.

I joined the Army in 1972. This film captured the times, including the violence, the conflicts, and the politics. The 4k restoration is good, although there is significant film grain in some scenes. Worth the upgrade. Definitely one of the best of the Vietnam movies.

Great story line, with a lot of twists and surprises. Great cast of actors who play really colorful characters. 4k quality of the video is really great. Fun movie.

I grew-up in upstate NY in the 1960s, where the mob was part of everyday life (they ran almost everything). This film really captured the times. Great group of actors. Among the best mob movies.

This is a great cult classic. I remember first seeing this in 1976 ... an amazing experience and a lot of fun. Somewhat dated now, and controversial in the portrayal of some characters. Some may find parts of this somewhat offensive. In spite of this, I still enjoyed watching this again. The 4k remaster has some significant grain in some scenes, but is still the best picture quality I've seen for this film.

Very unusual and interesting film. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's performance is very different from anything else he's done. Story line reflects some of the crazy social and political aspects of our current society. Not for everybody, but I really enjoyed.
Guy Ritchie's best movie. Great cast, great plot, great acting. I previously owned this on DVD, then on Blu-Ray. I was happy to see it released in a 4K version. I bought the Steelbook, which ahs nice cover art. Good quality video and excellent soundtrack. If you're not familiar with British accents and slang, you may need to watch it more than once to really understand what is being said. Many funny twists, turns and subplots.

In reply to the question about the region coding
July 22, 2021
Yes, I watched this in the US on a US / North American Region Panasonic UB9000 Player. I assume this 4K version is region-free, but I don't know that for certain. Will definitely play in the US.
