Face it, this film was never going to be better than the original. I'll tell you this, it's still a lot of fun with some excellent set-pieces and scares. This new 4K transfer is fantastic and it brings new life to this film with excellent detail and depth. The color of the water is gorgeous! I specifically picked up the exclusive SteelBook with some clever artwork that shows a reverse angle of the orignal film poster. Highly recommend this release!
With his wife requiring a six-figure surgery, veteran William Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) saw no other out than to join his career criminal adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) on a brazen bank heist. When the job went sideways, they opted to carjack an ambulance for escape-and found unwilling passengers in an EMT (Eiza Gonzalez) and the very cop they wounded. Michael Bay's nail-biting redo of a 2005 Danish thriller co-stars Garret Dillahunt, A Martinez, Devan Long. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

This is one of Michael Bay’s best films. Great cast, well paced and creative action photography using drones. Really well constructed film all around. The 4K transfer and audio is absolutely pristine!

Great set of four movies! I purchased this based on 'Hard Times' alone but ended up really enjoying 'Breakout' and 'The Stone Killer.' Unfortunately I found 'The Vilachi Papers' to be rather dry but I'm still happy with this set. Very recommended.

I've owned John Millius' 'RED DAWN' ('84) on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray and this brand new 4K UHD from Shout! Factory is the best this film as ever looked. Stunning detail, natural film grain throughout and and colors are gorgeous. Basil Poledouris' score sounds incredible as well. 'Red Dawn' is an incredible Cold-War fantasy that is both thrilling yet also details the emotional toll warfare takes on everyone involved. Both the film and this 4K release are highly recommended.
One Christmas in Camelot, the revels were interrupted by a hulking, emerald-skinned knight (Ralph Ineson), who dared anyone present to lay a blow on him... as long as he got to strike back a year later. The king's impetuous nephew Gawain (Dev Patel) met the challenge-and after the intruder improbably survived, faced a fateful journey to meet his end of the bargain. David Lowery's stylish, subversive take on the Arthurian tale co-stars Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Dev Patel is excellent as Sir Gawain who sets off on his quest to finish his game with the eponymous title character. If you enjoy artfully designed, cinematic Arthurian adventures that are open to thematic interpretation you'll love this gorgeous film.

For whatever reason the built in Bluetooth to my desktop PC stopped working completely. After two days of uninstalling, reinstalling drivers and everything else I could do to troubleshoot the issue I was still empty handed. So I picked up one of these tiny devices, plugged it into the front of the machine and it worked instantly. I've got better Bluetooth connectivity than I've ever had before. Very pleased.
A couple of junior high outcast buddies-boy genius Wolfgang (River Phoenix) and media junkie Ben (Ethan Hawke)-start having shared dreams they can't account for. They find they've been given the schematics for a space vehicle from junkyard scraps, and the key to a wild and laugh-filled extraterrestrial adventure. Joe Dante's fun fantasy co-stars Jason Presson, James Cromwell, Dana Ivey, Robert Picardo, and the great Dick Miller. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English.

Shout! Factory's Collector's Edition of Director Joe Dante's 'Explorers' ('85) is fantastic! While the transfer may not be the cleanest it is still the best this wonderful film has ever looked. Colors and shadows are rich and detail is in abundance. While the film itself may not be what Dante set out to make it's still a great movie of youthful idealism and adventure with an absolutely stellar film score by Jerry Goldsmith.

There's not much more to say regarding Brad Bird's phenomenal film 'The Incredibles.' I could pile on lavish praise forever but let's just say that this film is perfection. Characters, design, story, pacing, music, writing are all beyond reproach. Highly recommended.

'The Maze Runner' trilogy is a solid and underrated dystopic action/adventure series of films with wonderful characters, an exciting storyline that mixes sci-fi/action/horror, excellent film scoring by composer Joe Paesano, and seamless VFX throughout. There is a level of consistency in every aspect of each film due to the same creative team and cast being lead by director Wes Ball who masterfully balances character beats and action. Highly recommended.

This is a really great set of the five Bourne universe films. Picture quality varies with the first film being the roughest (minor dirt, scratches) and getting better as the series progresses. I could see this series getting remastered and cleaned up down the road but this is good enough for me. Exciting films, excellent productions all around. If you're a fan Bourne this is a quality set at a very reasonable price.
