This is a reference-quality disc, which Universal has (uncharacteristically) loaded with substantive bonus features. Pity the movie is such a waste, though.

Fox finally puts out a great Martian Blu-ray

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Martian Blu-ray was a quick cash-grab, but this one has a boatload of substantive features plus a slightly longer alternate cut.

Mediocre movie gets mediocre Blu-ray
on June 24, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only memorable thing about this cult favorite is Tom Hanks' wonderful comic turn. The movie around him? Eh. I think people who love it only do because they grew up watching it on HBO. Nostalgia's a powerful thing. The Blu-ray is similarly shrug-worthy.

Finally, a great ID4 Blu-ray!

Skip the terrible sequel; this standalone sci-fi adventure remains one of the most engaging summer blockbusters ever made. Fox put out a mediocre Blu-ray before, but this new one includes two remastered versions of the film and some great bonus features.

Fine thriller on a solid Blu-ray

While somewhat cliched, Black Sea is a very respectable submarine caper, bolstered by Jude Law's vanity-free turn. The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, and it's got a couple of solid bonus features.

The film remains Ron Howard's finest. Kudos, too, to Universal for remastering it and adding in some new featurettes (and a whole mess of great pre-existing content). Highly recommended.

Cult favorite on mediocre Blu-ray.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've no qualms about the movie; it's one of director Joe Dante's best, with a series of wonderfully modulated comic performances. But the Blu-ray is just a step above bare-bones, and I don't understand why, given that other distributors (Arrow Films, for one) have produced all sorts of Burbs-specific content. Maybe Shout Factory will step up...

Interesting movie; okay Blu-ray

The film itself is one of the Coens' most esoteric; it's the definition of an acquired taste. The Blu-ray is a little too grainy, but it's worth it for the Coen Brothers commentary.

One of the great films of the 1960s!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly gets the deluxe HD treatment befitting its iconic status; the excessive edge enhancement of the first Blu-ray version is now gone, resulting in a more life-like, textured image, and Fox/MGM has tossed in some great bonus features.

Comic-book adaptation still holds up
on January 19, 2015
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Sin City is still a bracing mix of violence, humor, and visual magic (and yes, it's SO much better than 2014's A Dame to Kill For). The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, but it's missing many of the features from Miramax's first HD iteration.
