My review is strictly in regards to 4K presentation. This is a demo 4K disc. When you have friends over and want to show them the PQ and AQ that 4K has to offer, this is what you pop in. I won't get into a review of the movie itself. I will say the current Godzilla and Godzilla King of the Monsters blows this away as a film. However, this is still a fun movie. This is a "popcorn movie" which means you don't need to analyze it. You just go with it and have fun.

Since most people are familiar with what the movie is about already Ill just speak to the presentation. First, the film is absolutely stunning in 4K. I would say this is a sci-fi masterpiece and has never looked this good. The details in H R. Gigers alien creature are fully present and even show details no other release has been able to emulate. Seeing movies like this in 4K really shows off the ability of the format. On to the steelbook, one of the better steels in a while. Art is amazing and the image of the alien on back shows a multi-colored shifting effect depending on how the light hits it. Not to mention the great price for this release.

I feel like this movie has been done to death. La Femme Nikita, Salt, Columbiana, and on....and on... The only real diffence is the people who star in these films. I always go into these films hoping to get surprised by something original. This is just another take on the same themes of the previous films I mentioned.

Man what a great film. So many iconic references and the scale of the film is huge. I blind bought this movie because so many have raved about it and I have come to agree with all the hype. It is a must see film.

This film was not what I was expecting after seeing the 2 Jolie movies. I was floored at the serious tone the movie took. When I first saw this in the theater I walked out not liking this that much. My friend bought it and I watched again and it grew on me after that. It's not like the previous films and at the time I first saw it that was the tone I was expecting. For me this film took multiple viewings but I've come to really enjoy it.
A trio of elite private investigators with the latest in high-tech tools, high performance vehicles, martial arts techniques and a vast array of disguises unleash their state-of-the-art skills on land, sea and air to track down a kidnapped billionaire.

Movie is a popcorn flick for sure. Its stupid and makes no sense and situations and events on screen are ridiculous. All that is what makes it fun to watch. Turn your brain off and enjoy the ride as it is a fun movie.

Don't get me wrong, the film is not bad. I feel the Conjuring 2 has been the best in the series so far. Annabelle Creation is a close second. I feel this movie really doesn't go into enough detail about who the Nun was. Maybe I was expecting too much after everything that's come before. This installment is coming in last place for me in the Conjuring universe of films. Again not a bad film just not up to par with previous efforts.
