I bought this on 4k because the cinematography was pretty stellar. It's not the best 4k viewing experience available, but it's still worth watching in this format. You could save yourself a couple bucks and just pick up the blu-ray, but if you really appreciate the coloration and vast landscapes that appear in this movie and want the full experience, then definitely get this.
This movie has cool visual effects, let's get that obvious fact out of the way. It's a fun introduction to the dreamworld of magic that now exists in the Marvel Movie Universe. Benedict Cumberbatch is a good doctor but I think Chiwetel Ejiofor has the most potential. I hope he is not used as a simple set up villain that is just destroyed by Thanos after his aid in all things evil. I think Cumberbatch was a good casting choice, but mostly for how he will act around people like Loki or Ironman. Really looking forward to how he progresses after the fact, yes this movie was a lot of setup for the next movies to come, but Marvel did a heck of job for seemingly rushing it.
Literally bought this to give away. If you're gonna have it in your own collection to take it seriously, get the $13 ish dollar blu-ray booklet version with the unicorn on the front. Don't waste my time with this cheap 720p and only one cut of the movie jumbo.
This is a totally worth $5 blu-ray movie so I had to pick it up. The unrated version is not much different (I only know one joke change off the top of my head) but even that one joke is better unrated. This is the only Adam McKay movie I like enough to buy and that's saying something. Not that I hate his others, but this one just has some real quality humor that is unlike Anchorman. 4/5 would recommend.
This movie is not the best as compared to the likes of "A Muppet Christmas Carol" but it is still enjoyable. The blu-ray was a nice gift for my mum and she had never known about this since it was a for-TV movie. She was happy to have received it, but when I get as easy a chance to snag "A Muppet Christmas Carol" I will 10/10 be doing that.
This blu-ray edition has two discs for the B&W and color versions of the film. My only upset (and the reason for four stars) is that it did not come with the lobby cards. I realize that it was likely a timed exclusive for when this edition came out initially, but I do not recall Best Buy ever having it. At the time of purchase, I thought they may still be included inside the case. I am more than happy to shell out $12 for this wonderful and timeless movie. If you can find a way to purchase this with the lobby cards, however, I would have rather had it that way.
This movie had high expectations. I had heard a lot of good things but I did not expect it to be so GREAT. It had a great premise and the animation was glorious and the stakes grew and grew and the conflict was just serious enough to entertain the whole family. Disney/Pixar is too uptight to brave anything this daring and this animated feature really pulls all the stops. I immediately went and bought this after I was able to see it. I rarely do that.
I had been following the hype on this movie for a while so as soon as the soundtrack became available, which was before I was able to see the movie, I jumped at the chance. I was not disappointed, as this soundtrack was through and through incredible. At the time I am writing this, a day after the Golden Globes, it has won best original song and score - so I think that speaks for itself. I rarely buy CD's but when I do it has to be something truly special. 10/10 would recommend.
This is a well done movie. While it does not hold the same sort of vibes the cartoons did, you can tell that the creators of this movie really cared about what they were making and wanted everything to look as nice as possible. Each of the characters look as they originally did, just with more dimension! If you like The Peanuts then I think this is a must have - which is why I bought this for my mom.

Picked this up on Black Friday for $150 and so far so good. There is only a power button on the actual tv so that is a bit of a bummer, but really just not being able to control the volume without the remote is my only complaint. It does have three HDMI inputs which most other tv's I have only have two. The pieces that hold it up are actually my favorite of all the tv's I own as it stands up about a quarter foot off the table and I am able to put a Blu-ray player or Apple TV under it just fine. I have been having an issue with one of the HDMI outputs where the screen will flash what looks like a static channel being connecting to the output, but that may be an issue with a cord - nothing that is genuinely concerning me. Definitely happy with the purchase and the brand - I am getting my money's worth but this is a very basic model and pretty much offers exactly what you would want from a 1080p TV.
