Great movie. One of my favorites. Blu-ray makes it better too

The movie may be bizarre because of how the characters battle each other, but it's also entertaining because of how they think. I found it compelling when a character wants to teach the sword thief to be more disciplined. I think anyone who watches this may find lots of things to be interesting.

An excellent story, beautiful cinematography, combining Romance, Drama, Mystery, Intrigue and Action. This is the film that made Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi International Stars and introduced Chinese Wuxia Cinema to a new generation of movie fans worldwide.

I loved the colors and cinematography of this film. But it is not as impressive as the amazingly choreographed action sequences, compared to that of "The Matrix". And the female protagonists in this film are, to put it simply: Extraordinary.

A martial arts favorite! I love this film from many years ago it's one of the great Chal Jan fat epic martial art films

This movie is fantastic and looks amazing in 4K. The bamboo forest and all the night fights are spectacular with HDR. It's a shame that Best Buy is getting rid of 4K movies... As someone that likes BB and owning 4K movies, this move is really shortsighted on BB's part and I'll probably be canceling my Best Buy+ :(

I was fortunate enough to see this 4K remaster in theaters during the film's brief theatrical re-release, and it looks superb. The score, sound design, and visual majesty in this film is very well executed in this new release, and the film itself still absolutely holds up as one of the most powerful and alluring martial arts films

Saw this originally in a very good movie theater. I was very impressed by the imagery & the story. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I can tell you this 4k presentation does not disappoint. Colors are beautifully rendered in all of the costumes & outdoor scenes. Sound is clear & enveloping. Major improvement over previous Blu-ray release. It's a period piece, so some may find it slow. But I think it's a great story about love & loss. Recommended.

Firstly, I love this film, so although the review is about the product more than the movie, I reserve the right to gush about it being visually and audibly gorgeous. This release is the 4K UHD blu-ray in steelbook casing. The case is beautifully designed, with genuine Scanavo steelbook construction. The UHD disc includes a Dolby Atmos track, which is compatible with TrueHD 7.1 for those who do not yet have height channels. The soundtrack is generously spacious, with most of the primary sound being distributed near the display, and limited effects being sent out to blend between surround and height channels. Yo-Yo Ma's terrific instrumental work is haunting, and stayed with me for days after revisiting the film. I have not verified this by scraping the video, but there is no indication on the packaging or the disc that any advanced HDR is in use, so it is likely the baseline HDR10. The video has otherwise received very little visible treatment, which is largely a good thing. In a world where many films would have had overbearing digital noise reduction applied (making people look like plastic) to combat the natural film grain, the original material is mostly intact. The grain could be considered distracting, since a lot of scenes were shot in lower light situations, which really exhibit that grain across much of the screen. I only found it distracting on occasion, but tried to be forgiving, considering the age of the film, and that this is not the same kind of treatment that was given to many of the older classics, which had tremendous budgets to spend on retouching the film more meticulously. Overall, this is a beautiful presentation of a beautiful film. It readily holds up after over 20 years, and despite the fact that the video has not been given a massive amount of extra attention, it looks fantastic. And it sounds terrific. Did I mention that I might gush about this? Yes, it's that good, and I would happily spend to buy it in the 4K steelbook again.

Ibwill start by say that the movie itself never gets old, its great. I was very disappointed because it reads thatvit comes with a digital copy and it DID NOT! Even whent into the store to see if i was sent the wrong product, but it was also the same exact thing!

This movie is an incredible experience. I saw it in theaters when it first came to America, I'm so glad it was available at a good price. Thank you.

Any Ang Lee is going to have amazing cinematography, so having this film in 4K HDR is a must-have. One thing to be mindful of is that certain TVs or players have an issue showing the film grain, so you should do a Google search to see if you'll be ok.

Great old film when the actors were young. 4K pic delivers this Action/Drama in an awesome way.

First time watching it. And enjoyed it for the movie it is. Recommend if you have oatience and enjoy story telling.

Always wanted to own this movie. Love all of the visual effects. Timeless.

Quality product, as always. Best buy’s selection of 4k blurays is what keeps me coming back!

Amazing movie at an even better price one of my favorites growing up.

Awesome to have it now on 4K HD. Also the choice of English was easy to understand it.

This gorgeous movie gets an amazing 4K edition, it looks naturally filmic and sounds incredible!

Lots of action and adventure. A strong movie with strong acting, script, messages, and overall experience. Definitely a movie that you will want in any movie collection!
