Nicely done reworking of distaff genre
on February 12, 2018
Posted by: 123654

Verified Purchase:Yes
The "female secret agent/assassin" genre has been around for quite a while (Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita" from 1990, etc.), but this one holds it's own, primarily because of the excellent Charlize Theron. Nice plot, lots of action. Fun.

Great action film gets 4K enhancement
on February 12, 2018
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this movie on Blu-ray last year. But the benefits of 4K (picture AND sound) made me rebuy it.
This is a great movie, with lots of action, great special effects and a smooth plot. If you don't have 4K, it is still excellent - but the 4K version is awesome.

Great film made better on 4K
on February 12, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is a classic (especially since the sequel just came out). The 4K version has sharper graphics and phenomenal sound; truly enhancing the viewing experience to the proverbial "theater-quality".

Thought provoking sci-fi, great plot twist.
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an alien invasion movie that takes a cerebral view. It deals with a linguist who is tasked with figuring out how to communicate with the aliens that have landed on Earth. Racing against time to solve this before military intervention is initiated (with possible world-ending results), the plot moves along quickly.
Not wishing to give too much away, the film ends with a very intriguing concept, leaving me with a profound "WOW" moment.
This is definitely worth the watch.

Moving tale - Well written, good special effects.
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't sure about this movie when it first was released. But I saw the score on IMDB and gave it a shot. It was well worth it. The story is well written and moves along briskly, the special effects (the tree monster) are enjoyable, and, ultimately, it is a story of dealing with life's tragedies in a poignant fashion.

Funny (but profanity laced) take on Christmas
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I should start by saying that this "works" better if you saw the first movie. Much of the back story occurs there and is not adequately re-explained anew.
Billy Bob Thornton's acting drives this movie. Whether lending veracity to his (ample) profanity or showing his recognition of the spirit of Christmas, he does an excellent job.
Fun to watch, but don't share with children or adults who may be offended.

Great film - made even better on blu-ray
on August 13, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always liked this movie (and always been disappointed that Director Walter Hill never completed the planned-for trilogy).
Lots of action, great music and some nice glimpses of actors in their early years (Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe, Rick Moranis). The Blu-Ray makes the music rock better and the graphics shine throughout.

When a small Mexican village is fed up with being ravaged by roving bandits, they enlist the help of seven talented American gunslingers, giving birth to the tremendously popular Magnificent Seven. The western film series that helped launch the careers of Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn is featured in this all new collection of four Magnificent Seven flick; The Magnificent Seven, Return of the Magnificent Seven, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, and The Magnificent Seven Ride! are presented in widescreen and refurbished color.

The 1960 original is great - the sequels? Hmmm.
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
After the 2016 remake came out, many people were wondering what the original was like. This collection answers that question: The original was well scripted and well acted and had a great musical score. In my opinion, the 1960 version is superior to 2016's effort.
Based solely on getting the original, this is worth it. This collection, however, goes further and provides three sequels from 1966, 1969 and 1972. These sequels are fun to watch, but they are a pale imitation of either of the "Magnificent Seven"s.

Surprisingly good all around
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: 123654
from Morgantown, WV
Verified Purchase:Yes
Watching the trailers for this movie, it felt more like a sci-fi thriller with its ominous undertones. SPOILER ALERT - Instead, it was a well crafted romance set in a sci-fi setting. It is a well thought out plot with good acting. Some interesting moral/ethical dilemmas and decisions provide food for thought as ell.

Excellent movie improved by Blu-Ray
on June 6, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have never seen "Shane" - see it, It is one of the classic westerns with many themes and ideas used elsewhere (the girl chasing after Clint Eastwood at the end of "Pale Rider" comes from this movie).
This Blu-Ray version is visually crisper and cleaner, adding to the great quality of scripting and acting the film had with it. The upgrade is worth it.
