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.

The Dark Knight
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Christopher Nolan's masterpiece The Dark Knight comes to 4K with an image sourced from a new 4K scan that has been color-corrected and HDR graded under the director's supervision. Details, saturation and shadow definition all get a boost and the IMAX footage is still breathtaking. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, while not Dolby Atmos, is quite superb. Comes with blu-ray disc and digital code. This is, hands down, the best comic book adaption ever filmed.

Batman Begins
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Christopher Nolan's first part of his Dark Knight trilogy comes to UHD from a 4K HDR master and transferred based on Nolan's instructions. The details and contrast get a nice boost and while a Dolby Atmos soundtrack would've been nice, the remastered lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is very good. Comes with blu-ray disc and digital code. A must have for any Batman fan.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes to 4K UHD with a 4K remastered image and new Dolby Atmos soundtrack. This movie never looked this good outside of a movie theater. Comes with remastered blu-ray and digital code and unlike most 4K releases, has a slew of new extras unique to this release. Reference level 4K disc.

Casino Royale
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4K UHD release of 2006's Casino Royale begins the Daniel Craig era as the British 00 agent James Bond. The 4K disc is a slight upgrade over the near reference level quality of the 2K blu-ray, which is included as well as digital code. Saturation and details get a boost and while a new Dolby Atmos mix would be most welcomed, the repurposed DTS-HD Master Audio mix is really superb. Get it while it is on sale..

Tenet
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tenet looks great and sounds great, although the criticisms about the dialogue levels are spot on (I had to turn on the subtitles right away during first action set piece). This movie is narratively dense and story doesn't come into full view until about halfway through. It did not surprise me that a physicist was on set as an advisor. But give Tenet a chance. I think, similar to Christopher Nolan's other films, this movie will get better each time I rewatch it. Reference level 4K UHD presentation.

Skyfall
on December 13, 2020
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4K UHD release of 2012's Skyfall is a slight upgrade over the near reference level quality of the 2K blu-ray, which is included with digital code. Saturation and details get a boost and while a new Dolby Atmos mix would be most welcomed, the repurposed DTS-HD Master Audio mix is really superb. A great end to the Daniel Craig Judi Dench Bond trilogy.

The one that started it all! Experience the terror - from the beginning - with the first chilling chapter of the Alien saga, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout performance as Ripley. When the crew of the space-tug Nostromo responds to a distress signal from a barren planet, they discover a mysterious life form that breeds within human hosts. The acid-blooded extraterrestrial proves to be the ultimate adversary as crew members battle to stay alive and prevent the deadly creature from reaching Earth.

Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 40th Anniversary 4K UHD release of Alien is sourced from a 4K scan supervised by director Ridley Scott and colorist Stephen Nakamura and is an upgrade over previous release. I would know since I've purchased this movie in VHS, DVD, LaserDisc and Blu-ray. This is THE classic horror sc-fi film. Comes with 1080p blu-ray disc and digital code with two versions of the movie, the 1979 theatrical cut and Scott's 2003 extended director's cut.

1987's Predator finally gets an an upgrade over the previous MPEG codec blu-ray releases in 2008 and 2010. This releases get a new 4K scan that restores some film grain and looks excellent.

Epson Home Cinema 3800
on December 13, 2020
Posted by: stephen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Epson LCD projectors come with great color out of the box and are easy to set up and use. I bought this as a 4K upgrade to the 3100 Home Cinema and am very happy with its performance. It is smaller and lighter than most projectors in its class, weighing in at only 15.2 lbs. The 4010 Home Cinema weighs over 24 lbs. With minor calibration, watching films with this projector is a true cinematic experience.
