Anna [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2019]

Love this type of shoot um up movie, I just sit back and enjoy.

Picture is great on my 4K TV/4K Blu-Ray player and Denon 7.1 AVR. Good kick butt movie.

Cool action movie. great price and fast shipping. !

For anyone who is looking for a pleasantly unexpected outlier with respect to your normal run -of-the-mill “action/drama movies”. “ANNA” has the ability to create viewers to think they know what is going to happen, but the movie will flip the script & take an unexpected tangent into the future/past. (It’s not your normal mercenary/hit-man movie. “ANNA’s” early beginnings as well as her current life’s situation gets passed onto the viewer via the timeline of ANNA’s life, and through the movie sporadically jumping into the future as well as by showing what had previously happened in Anna’s life via vivid/harsh flashbacks that jumps around from the present/current scene that had just taken place. (The movie is well written. And I thought that this specific way this movie uses these techniques to keep viewers on their toes. Along with allowing the viewers to understand the nuances regarding Anna’s character, as well as the ever evolving narrative of the movie. Anna’s character would be head scratcher to truly follow her character’s development as the movie went on. Because I don’t think there could have been any other way to make this movie let alone to have the plot of this movie make sense.) Also, in my opinion this movie wouldn’t have been attempted because it wouldn’t have been possible to make sense. “ANNA” was made to capture the viewer & give the viewers the ability to put themselves in Anna’s situation by looking into her future & flashback scenes. (I would have to say that adversity of the impossible was a very different & interesting way to explain the characters point of view.) The movie is fairly easy to follow, and I make this statement assuming that the viewers will be actually paying attention to the movie. It’s special effects look outstanding in 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc. (And also on its digital copy which is also 4K Dolby Vision. On VUDU.) I purchased this 4K Blu-ray movie on sale for $18.00, and I have no buyers remorse whatsoever!... I thought that this movie was enjoyable & entertaining. The few people who watched this movie with me thought it was a refreshingly different type of action/drama movie with an unknown female lead character who did an outstanding job!... I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys these specific movie genres. If you don’t like action, drama, suspense & pretty violent movies then I would pass on a recommendation for this particular movie. (FYI, it’s rated “R” & has lots of violence, sexual content and explicit language.)

Anna is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. This is a solid looking 4K presentation, but it may not reach the top tier of detail and color saturation that some videophiles may be expecting, especially considering a director of Besson's general flashiness. That said, there are definitely upticks in fine detail levels throughout the presentation, albeit often on fairly mundane items, like the thick tufted fabric of the coat Olga frequently wears. Dolby Vision adds some interesting highlights, especially when Besson and cinematographer Thierry Arbogast play with lighting and/or grading, as in a brief, probably too "on the nose", moment with Anna bathed in red light as she arrives in Paris. Some of the outdoor material does gain some depth of field, and clarity is generally excellent throughout the presentation. The more naturally lit moments pop with considerable authority, with a natural looking palette and generally commendable detail levels.

If you like action packed movies and 3D Blu-ray movies then this movie is just for you. Usually movies have the guy be the killer person in the movie but Anna gives the lead role to a female who holds nothing back when it comes to fighting action and shooting abilities. To get all that above and in 3D Blu-ray then this movie is for you. I even found myself watching it a few times and each time noticing more than I did before. I also recommend the Bonus section which gives you the insight as to how the movie was made and very informative. Get your popcorn ready turn off the lights and turn up the surround sound and be ready for an action packed movie in 3D Blu-ray and don't forget your 3D glasses.

This movie starts out a little confusing timeline wise but comes together and makes perfect sense as it keeps moving. It is largely unknown and very underrated. I would compare it to Atomic Blonde but a little better, actually. Very well done. Sasha Luss is astounding, period, but especially for a newcommer with very little acting experience on her resumé. Excellent breakout film for her. She is very tallented. The story was extremely well thought out as well. The plot keeps moving and wrapps up nicely at the end. A good watch for anyone that likes spy and espionage films.

Anna is a woman that it's safer not to cross paths with, and you definitely don't want to get in her way! A somewhat predictable adventure of a government assassin that still manages to make for an entertaining movie. Lots of fast-paced action, well-acted and directed.
