Great films, superb extras, beautiful packaging

Verified Purchase:Yes
All 3 films are very good. Pan's Labyrinth is a masterpiece. The presentation (picture and sound) is top notch on all 3. The extras are great, especially the insightful commentaries by Del Toro. The packaging is beautiful, including a comprehensive booklet.

![Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow [3D] [Blu-ray] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6435/6435018_sa.jpg)

The film itself deserves 5 stars; I really enjoyed it a lot. It's an interesting science fiction concept. It's well paced, directed, acted. The 3D is pretty good at times but I don't think it's really necessary. I enjoyed the 2D just as much, unlike say, Avatar or Titanic, where the 3D really adds to the movie.

Excellent presentation of 3 classic movies
on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I"m relatively new to spaghetti westerns, and this set was highly recommended to me. I'm glad I bought it; all 3 movies are great. Simple stories well told. I never saw the older version of Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but this newer "restored" version looks great. It's definitely yellow-heavy, but from what I've read, that was Leone's intent.

Easy to set up, great picture

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this TV for my son's room. It was very easy to set up the TV and the smart functions. The picture quality is great, and the sound is very good. Usually with TVs under 50 inches or so, I end up buying a soundbar or other external speakers. These speakers are fine for a bedroom.

Works as advertised, but pricey

I wanted to watch video from iPad apps on my TV; this item is pricey but, with the addition of a very long HDMI cable, gets the job done.

Great documentary about a great artist
on March 11, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bob Marley was a reggae superstar who crossed over into the mainstream. Kevin MacDonald's film explores his life in an honest way that lets you see the man behind the legend. The movie itself is great. The bonus disc in this Best Buy exclusive version features a couple of live performances (on DVD, not in high-def), but I wish there was something more substantial (interviews, behind the scenes footage, etc.)

![True Detective: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1888/1888134_sa.jpg)
This set contains every episode from the first season of HBO's True Detective. Every episode was written by series creator Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga. The program stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as Louisiana detectives who reunite after an ugly falling out in order to solve a murder they failed to crack years before.

Great acting, directing; wonderfully presented

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love True Detective season 1, and I think it succeeds despite the sometimes clunky writing of creator/show runner Nic Pizzolatto. The performances of the 2 leads are amazing, and the direction of Cary Fukunaga should be studied in film schools. I wish there was more supplemental material (commentary or short feature) featuring just Fukunaga talking about the choices he made.

Classic movie abides, well presented
on January 1, 2015
Posted by: Polythenesian
from Rutland, VT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie isn't for everyone, and wasn't a success during its theatrical run. It's since become one of the biggest cult comedy classics of all time. Jeff Bridges is perfectly cast as The Dude, and there are strong supporting performances throughout, particularly by John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. Highly recommended if you like offbeat comedy.
The picture and sound are both great, and there are a pretty thorough set of extras to give you more insight into the film. The only thing missing is a director's commentary, but the Coen brothers don't do those.

Worthy follow-up to Baraka

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you liked Baraka, you will like Samsara. The cinematography is just as good, and combine with the sound and editing in the same thought-provoking manner.
Like Baraka, the Samsara blu-ray is light on extras, just a making-of doc, though it's pretty comprehensive, as informative (if not more so) than a director's commentary.

Make sure you get the remastered version
on August 16, 2013
Posted by: Polythenesian
from Rutland, VT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not much hasn't already been said about Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning classic. This is a great film. Just make sure you get the remastered version of the film (I'm pretty sure the older, horribly-mastered blu-ray is out of print anyway). The picture is a huge improvement over the older version, and the sound is just as good.
