Its villains turn to shinne
on January 17, 2017
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although the movie did have some odd pacing, and cliches applied to it...it was nice to see this set of villains brought together on the new age big screen for the first time. The video was solid, a semi film like grain applied to most shots, although there were some splashes of HDR rich color such as during the colorful on screen intro of characters. The sound was solid, plenty of bass and surrounds you would expect from a blockbuster. I think it is a solid buy, especially if you haven't seen the film yet. Also the 4k Steelbook is one major BONUS!

Enjoyable eye candy, even for adults.

The CGI film had insanely rich colors, and flawless detail. An above average 4k HDR film in the early days of 4K, which does have some rather underwhelming titles to its name so far. But you won't go wrong in this, and the sound is amazing, immersive, and loaded with plenty of dynamic swing and powerful 30 Hz or so bass... a nice visual AND audio reference disc. Plus, the story was funny and well paced, had plenty of humor for adults too and was a fun quick view. I think this is a must buy if you're looking for any non serious new movie or reference audio/video disc...you can't go wrong here! Stay angry!

Super cool visual effects w great animals!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Boy did I underrate this little disc. First, both features are rather short and to the point, but there is no shortage of breath taking and to me some amazing and mysterious editing techniques. The animals jumping have some strange almost 3d effects to them. On top of bright, perfect color balance and crystal clear minute detail...it is one of my favorite 4K reference discs, next to Pacific Rim. The stories are also funny and well paced, even those that don't like nature documentaries will have a hard time not sticking to the screen for this. Couple it with a great, bombastic soundtrack and a nice little affordable Best Buy exclusive package ONLY, and you have a must buy my friends!

On a 4K HDR Tv, this original blu ray still top!
on January 17, 2017
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
The colors on this really amaze me still, a scene on the beggining when the giant truck drives by as he is coming off the spaceship after entering Pandora for the first time, you can see arrows sticking in the giant Earth mover's tires. The arrows take on an almost transluicent, 3d effect. Since this movie was filmed all digitally, it looks AMAZING on a 4K HDR setup. It is even better than some 4K discs I own!!! The sound is also amazing on any 7.1 or atmos setup. A perfect mix of technology, and just enough on screen action...brought to you in a nice looking neat package, with plenty of non filler like extras! A must buy for the price!

Not a bad movie if you're expecting a typical CGI
on July 2, 2016
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, the cosmetics. This is one of the most beautiful steel books I own, the gold and black colors are vivid and eye catching. Overall, I entered knowing this is your typical CGI fest blockbuster, but knowing all that it has some more unique and entertaining action sequences and creatures in it, creates a nice atmosphere for a retake on ancient Egypt. The sound and picture are excellent in 7.1 as to be expected. Overall, for the price an excellent collector;s item with decent replay value as well.

These Insignia™ NS-CFLGL-A gloves feature vibrant blue LED lights in reflective strips that create a bone-glowing illusion. Turn the lights on or off using a button on your wrist for simple operation and enjoy hours of battery life.

Cool idea for cheap price, but broke out box
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
Cool looking gloves made for small to medium hands, they barely fit on my larger hands. They have a cool streamlined look w electronic wires, however the contact didn't work on one of my gloves out of the box, so the lights wouldn't stay on in one glove, very dissapointing. Hopefully mine was just a fluke and the quality control on yours is much better!

The legendary David Attenborough created the epic documentary miniseries Planet Earth, which became his pièce-de-resistance. The program plunges into, and canvasses, virtually every aspect of the global ecosphere, from the mountains to the oceans to the flora and fauna, one subtopic at a time - meanwhile reveling in atmospheric cinematography. By any standard, it qualifies as the most successful nature documentary ever shot, selling millions of copies and winning a host of international awards including four Emmys. Attenborough narrates. This box set contains the entire miniseries as it originally aired, plus numerous bonus features.

Ultimate compliment for Life/Blue Planet
on June 4, 2016
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
This IS my reference documentary for all biology and evolution along with Life/Blue Planet also from BBC. BBC covers everything except outter space (astronomy documentaries elsewhere). It presents some of the coolest, most dangerous to capture ever camera shots in amazing 1080p [ how on Earth do you film hi def cameras in the Antarctic UNDERWATER?!?!? BTW it tells you in special features ;) ]. If you have a regular small TV or a giant setup like me with Marantz receivers and 7.1 Axiom speakers you won't be let down. The DTS Hi Res track is to my audiophile ears, indistinguishable from the lossless DTS HD MA. The entire gamut of animals is covered too, with none of the boring African Safari ONLY animals countless of other documentaries covered. Whether you're a Biology major like me or just a neophyte and curious about animals, this IS the piece for you. Oh, and David Attenborough''s narration is dead on, his voice is calming and clear like a Morgan Freeman...the perfect British compliment for this educational video. All in all 5/5 presentation, and I am picky when it comes to my blu ray reviews. Best purchase of the year from BestBuy for this price!

The producers of Planet Earth explore some truly remarkable creatures and their unique habitats, many of which have never been captured on camera before. Star nosed moles, Zambian bats, and the Vogelkop bowerbird are just a few of the creature's you'll encounter as the filmmakers take viewers to distant continents, using state-of-the-art filming techniques to drift along with migrating elephants, soar through the sky with monarch butterflies, and witness a mating battle (also known as a "heat run") between male humpback whales. A two week visit with some Komodo dragons allows us to witness with striking detail how the mighty, ancient beasts can manage the unique feat of taking down an animal that towers over them in size. The series concludes with a "making-of" special which reveals how the dedicated filmmakers worked for more than four years to deliver a nature series with the power to take your breath away. Narrated by David Attenborugh.

One of the best modern films, A+
on November 7, 2015
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the best modern films out there, with breathtaking imax 1.85:1 ratio in some scenes, the whole movies visuals are amazing however. It is also some of the best lossless tracks out there, whether its Hans Zimmers amazing original score, or the loads of accurate, thunderous bass coming out of your subwoofer. This is one of the best blu rays you can own, and a staple for ANY persons film collection. Must buy!!!

One of the finest films, REALLY remastered!
on November 7, 2015
Posted by: jpetrucci07
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love Arnold, I love this classic, I love blu rays, and most of all I love remasters that ACTUALLY make a difference. This is the only blu ray out there that did it right from the original master, the video has far less grain, better resolution, and less artifacts than previous releases of this film. For me the movie itself is a 5/5, especially considering the time and low budget they had making it. The sound & audio now move up to 4/5, again considering the time it was made and it being a low budget film. I think they squeezed the most they could benefit from out of this great film as far as visual and audio remastering. For the price, It is one amazing buy.
