Firefly is an amazing series and Serenity is the icing on the cake. This is one amazing film on an awesome blu ray. The video is amazingly clean and clear for the dark picture. The surround sound is so much better than the television series. The extras on the disc are too numerous to write in detail. This blu ray is a great companion piece to Firefly on blu ray. We fans are waiting for the next installment.

Of all the Hollywood studios that proliferated during the late 1960s and early 1970s, few were as influential or as legendary as BBS. Co-founded by Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner, the production house succeeded at tapping into the countercultural mindset of America's youth as none had before - and singlehandedly set the stage for a decade of moviemaking that witnessed visionary directors taking the creative reins from producers. The studio's track record began with Head (1968) - an attempt to do for The Monkees what A Hard Day's Night had done for The Beatles. But its fortunes rocketed into the stratosphere with one of the highest-grossing and most iconic movies ever made - the Dennis Hopper-directed biker picture Easy Rider (1969). Legendary successes quickly followed - among them Five Easy Pieces (1970) and The Last Picture Show (1971) - as well as lesser-known efforts that, even to this day, demonstrate remarkable ingenuity, craftsmanship, and singularity of vision (A Safe Place, Drive, He Said, The King of Marvin Gardens). All of the said titles appear in this unique and spectacular collection, which features a host of supplements accompanying each film.

Glad I caught this Criterion box set on blu ray when Best Buy had their 50% sale on Criterion titles. These seven films are classics in the best transfers you are going to see these days. All seven films have been restored from a 4K restoration that Criterion has been doing to many of their titles for blu ray. My favorites being THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, EASY RIDER, and FIVE EASY PIECES. These films capture a time back in the early '70s (and late '60s) when filmmakers were making great films. Each movie is in a slim line case so storing all seven movies doesn't take up shelf space. This has got to be my second favorite box set from Criterion. Criterion's David Lean blu ray box set wins the best transfers hands down (they too are from 4K restorations). If you like classic films from the past, you will not be disappointed in AMERICA LOST AND FOUND on blu ray (bet even the DVDs look good). I will cherish this set of films for a long time, They don't make great films like these anymore. The seven films in this set are: The Monkee's HEAD EASY RIDER DRIVE, HE SAID A SAFE PLACE THE LAST PICTURE SHOW THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS All films are uncut and presented in their original widescreen aspect ratios (1.85) and EASY RIDER is granted a 5.1 DTS-HD soundtrack. There is a great 112 page book included that is full of pictures and information on the films in this set.
Not sure if or when Criterion will sells these individually. Have always loved THE LAST PICTURE SHOW and it is amazing on blu ray!
