Fast & Furious 6 [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2013]

Hey, I'm a sucker for ACTION movies. Give me great car chases and I don't care about a plot. And they brought back Michelle Rodriguez (sorely missing from "F&F#5) to match up with our beloved Paul Walker (R.I.P. Buddy, and you weren't even driving...we will miss your personality and acting, and most of all how you never had an attitude that so many actors get stuck up on themselves), so let Dwayne & Diesel keep up the action through this (#6) and "Furious 7," and I'm good to go! Got the whole series on the beautiful designed "Only@Best Buy LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK" series. A MUST for us collectors. And you'll never have to deal with a cracked blu-ray or DVD case again! RANT on trying to buy these from BEST BUY: Under the great leadership of President Hubert Jolie and continuing with CEO Brad Anderson, the Minnesota leadership brought back the DVD market share they had lost to online stores like Amazon and brought about their OWN online sales and brought back movie customers into the Best Buy physical stores - a ingenious move by Best Buy administration, but a hassle to buyers, especially in Los Angeles, where too many of us are "collectors" versus Redbox renters, and only in L.A. do we spend our hard earned cash on collecting these Steelbook beauties. The SERIOUS PROBLEM that the admin officers stick us with is that the ONLINE store is allocated VERY FEW Steelbooks to sell and ship to us, even if we are willing to pay for shipping. AND JUST AS BAD, each store is provided with a VERY SMALL NUMBER OF STEELBOOKS and the stores are FORBIDDEN by Best Buy POLICY to TAKE ANY ORDERS FOR STEELBOOKS! So even if you have cash in hand, they can't order from a warehouse OR EVEN TRANSFER ONE COPY FROM ANY OTHER STORE IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS IT IN STOCK!!! Best Buy Administration set a POLICY that NO STORE CAN SHIP STEELBOOKS TO YOU: Best Buy policy requires that YOU HAVE TO PERSONALLY (physically) COME INTO A STORE THAT HAS COPIES, BECAUSE POLICY FORBIDS THE STORE MANAGER FROM SENDING STEELBOOKS TO A STORE NEAR YOU. So when Best Buy uses the word "LIMITED," that also applies to EACH STORE and ONLINE. I am a loyal "Elite Plus" Best Buy customer, but even I had to buy some of these on eBay rather than drive to a store 75 miles away (150 miles roundtrip to a Best Buy store that - if they go by their register versus physically checking the shelves and pulling it to hold for you - may NOT even have the Steelbook by the time it takes to drive there!) So you can cross your fingers and try to get one of these great Best Buy ONLY products - like I did with the "Fast & Furious," except for one of the seven of the series I had to buy off eBay to complete my collection - but popular movies are "Pre-Order" and so they are SOLD OUT from Best Buy's online store. If you get lucky, getting these collectible Steelbooks from Best Buy is the least expensive option - and these are GREAT GIFTS for movie collectors - because many eBay sellers charge more than TWICE what B.B. charges: $40-$100-. But if you are patient, you can get a used Steelbook from eBay for the original price Best Buy charged for a new unwrapped copy. With all that said, kudos to Best Buy President & CEO for getting their market share back. I am hooked on these new Steelbooks (if you couldn't tell from the picture I posted) and another note of caution: Walmart and Target's "Metal" casing is a cheap rip off very different than (Limited Edition) Steelbooks. The "Only@Best Buy LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK is the best way to get the genuine "Steelbook." Another benefit of Best Buy is that if you can buy them from online, they ship them in protected packing, so not one of the 50 I have are bent or scratched. And if you are willing to wait for a Steelbook release - which includes both blu-ray AND DVD - you'll never have the problem of a plastic case being cracked or broken for the same price as the cheap packing of new releases. Also, Best Buy offers Steelbooks for as low as $9.99, with new releases at $19.99 - $24.99. And they look GREAT on the shelf, much better than trying to read the edge of a blu-ray!:

Pros: The movie itself. Digital cover. Slipcover Cons: Seems as if the 4k was auto generated transfer instead of being shot in 4k. The problem with these F&F soundtracks is that there’s too much overlapped sounds & can’t distinguish the DTS-X effects. Almost no over head effect. You have music tracks, movie score, bangs etc all at once that makes it sound all washed up & that’s in a calibrated 11.2 (7.2.4) system! The 8th part was an improvement. No steel cases like previous releases.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Michelle Rodriguez team up again for some more adrenaline pumping action. This movie takes place after Fast Five. After dealing with being chassed by federal agent Luke Hobbs in the previous movie, Hobbs now finds himself asking Dom and his crew to go to London to help him take down a team of mercenary drivers. Once Dom finds out Letty is still alive he convinces his crew to help Hobbs and help him find Letty on the condition they get full pardons. Once again some of the previous stars through the past Fast and Furious films return, including Tyrese Gibson, (Roman Pearce - 2 Fast 2 Furious) Ludacris (Tej - 2 Fast 2 Furious), Gal Gadot, (Gisele - Fast and Furious) Sung Kang (Han - Tokyo Drift), and Elsa Patakay (Elena) all return for a even more packed Fast and Furious movie. When Toretto and his team join forces with Hobbs (The Rock) you know this is going to one heck of an action packed ride your in for. Hobbs knows only the best drivers can help him get the job done of capturing this criminal (Luke Evans). This movie is even more action packed from start to finish than the last one. Sure there are a few over the top moments as the previous one, but it is still one awesome ride. Just like the original film that started it all, this latest installment will entertain you and keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think the movies over they throw in a twist which bring on even more action and drama. I don't want to give away the ending for those who haven't seen it, but be advised to stay for a minute or so after the credits to see what is in store for the next installment, which also ties everything up just perfect and bridging Tokyo Drift to the present day. Also with the addition of Jason S. the next Fast and Furious movie is going to be just as good if not better! Special thanks to Paul and Vin for keeping this franchise alive, because without you guys it wouldn't be the same.

If you haven't seen any of the F&F movies then I suggest you pick them up. Best Buy has them for around $10 each on Blu-Ray and even thought #3 is out of chronological order (so make sure you pay attention), they do a great job with the story (filling in the blanks) in 4, 5, & 6. Each one has gotten better and better and with F&F4 they got all the original actors (it really is like a family) and this helps you relate & care about the characters. On the other hand if you already seen all the other films then #6 will be a real roller coaster, the only two things that bummed me out are the lack of more bonus features, and that it's not in 3D, but either way it's a great addition to the series and you definitely won't be a disappointment with all the actor's, action, special effects, and the way that the story comes together you won't be disappointed, not to mention #6 has one of the best choreographed female fight scenes in cinema history and a surprise ending that will having you on the edge of your seat!

Another solid entry to the Fast and Furious series. Love the digital download options as well. Of all the Fast and Furious movies, this one probably has the most action of all of them. The end finally brings the franchise back to Tokyo, linking Tokyo Drift with Fast 6 and setting the scene for the 7th edition of this series. If you're looking for good acting this isn't your film. The plot is solid and actually adds to the mystery and drama in this installment. Michelle Rodriguez is back at Lette. A strong performance in her return and it is amazing how well the story lines are woven together and tied to characters from past FF movies. This is worth it if you're a fan of the series. I will say the trailer for Fast 7 is eerie. I won't give it away but fans of the series will find it ironic and perhaps a little upsetting.

Good movie. 4k is the way go. Better sound and quality. Being a fan of the series, I also bought a few of the movies in the series. This was a great purchase for 19.99, being a 4k UHD movie. Also, the sound when paired with my sony 75" 4k and the new Sony 4k player just released in March this year. I traded my Samsung 8500 in for the Sony, because I had already returned one of the Samsung's after only 6 weeks from original purchase. So after having even more problems with the Samsung, not reading discs, being a loud machine,door vibrations, I was very happy Sony released theirs finally. Night and day difference. Picture is slightly better, but the sound quality is at least 10 times better. Much more immersive. I highly recommend the Sony player so you get the most out of these great movies. Movie theater quality at home with a good surround system. Theater quality but at home. Nothing compares for the price.

I tried my hardest not to get into this saga because of when the first one came out I was not a huge fan of any of the actors at all. As they grew and grew and the writers pulled the whole story line together, I couldn't help myself. Even my dad wasn't sure if it was going to be his cup of tea. Too fast, Too furious, my ex husband saw when it was in theatres and I stayed home with our new born son. Now I wished I would have gotten a sitter. But with my 65" and surround sound, who needs a theater, I got one in my living room. Dom and Brian on that tv, omg. Yup I'm proud to say that I am now a huge fan!

Looking for an action movie that stresses family above all else. The action begins when Dom is given proof that Letty is alive and working for an international "spy" crew. Can't believe that I am saying this, but the action does come "fast & furious" in this flick. The stunt work on the highway is amazing even as it stretches the bonds of credibility. This a a great film to watch when you want to put your brain on hold and just enjoy a well produced/directed action yarn that has a surprise ending. Highly reccomended.
