One 4K set to rule them all

Lord of the Rings was never short on beauty, but Ultra HD brings it to a whole new level. Astonishing detail and brilliant colors make Peter Jackson's cinematic journey all the more magical and adventurous.

80s superhero glamor lives on!
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
WW84 isn't as weighty as the first and lacking in a certain punch when the action kicks in, and it goes SUPER heavy on the 80s cheese early on, but the setting and indulgent aesthetic serve a clear storytelling purpose rather just being there to look cool. Gal Gadot is better here than she's ever been and Chris Pine is an eternal charmer, while Kristen Wiig & Pedro Pascal (whose Max Lord is essentially a giant middle finger to a certain orange wannabe dictator) combined make charismatic villains offering equal doses of slime and pathos. It's bigger, flashier, and more out-there than its predecessor, and while it trips into schmaltz now and then, there's still some very down to earth drama at its core with more restrained humor than I was fearing to spice it up. It's a wonder!

Big Lizard fight Big Monkey - what more you need?
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
The heart of GODZILLA VS KONG definitely belongs to the absurdity of the later-era Showa films and beyond with its embrace of cartoonish subplots and outlandish technologies, which will turn off those who gravitated towards the more grounded nature of 2014's Godzilla, but also better sets up the film's biggest (and unfortunately worst-kept secret) reveal. It dispenses entirely with any semblance of character arcs for its human cast and wastes as little time as possible getting to the monster mash we paid to see - and holy crap, does it crank up the intensity once the fists and flippers start flying. Bathed in visually splendrous neon cinematography and powered along by another thunderous score from Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg, GvK embodies both the best and worst elements of the MonsterVerse thus far, erring on the side of big, booming, bombast to crowd-pleasing effort.

The greatest trilogy looking better than ever

Verified Purchase:Yes
While the seams of the effects show through more than ever, Lord of the Rings in 4K is given vibrant new life in enhanced detail in its lavish sets, scenery, and costumes, along with a dazzling new color grade. The epic looks more epic than ever.

Hard to top the Blu-ray, but they did anyway
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
300's past Blu-ray presentations are still impressive today, but the 4K upgrade and HDR manage to make this vibrant and nastily over-the-top film look even better.

Low budget never looked so good
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
For all their production limitations and on-the-fly innovations, one might suspect the Evil Dead duo could only look so good once it reached high-definition, but leave it Ultra HD to give it that extra gloss, even if it means shining a little more light on the monster's stitches.

Kubrick's grim journey into Vietnam is yet another impressive 4K upgrade, with the burning, bullet-riddled wreckage of its final act looking especially vivid.

Five thousand miles from land, their only hope for survival is to walk across the ocean floor to an abandoned vessel. But their already dangerous journey becomes even more treacherous as a mysterious new threat appears at the ocean's depths!

Deserved way bigger box office
on June 12, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
A solid Alien/The Abyss mashup. At 95 minutes, it wastes no time diving right into the crisis, but doesn't feel rushed in the process. Between a handful of claustrophobic stretches and sparse jump-scares, it also refreshingly boasts a sense of humor that serves to reinforce the tension rather than defuse it. And may I say, Kristen Stewart really rocks the buzzcut look.

The Skywalker Saga's crescendo
on April 7, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
You can smell more than a few compromises made to appease viewers still ticked about certain story choices made in The Last Jedi, but nothing felt so false (well, ONE thing, if I’m being totally honest) that I couldn’t just roll with the madness. JJ, Terrio, and the ever-enthusiastic cast and crew deliver a thrilling and fulfilling finale to the Skywalker Saga, full of adventure, excitement, and really wild things.

A beautiful heartbreaker
on April 7, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
1917 is an intense and gripping survival story set against the grisly ruins of war, cheered along by Roger Deakins' masterful photography and Thomas Newman's soaring score, and punctuated with a bittersweet ending that, no lie, nearly brought me to tears.
