Groundhog Day [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [1993]

This is the movie to watch when you are literally doing the same thing day in and day out. More importantly for the Blu ray, there wasn't if any noise reduction so on the brighter colors you can really see the film grain. However, I wouldn't necessarily call this a flaw as the picture is still sharp and vibrant and with an timeless story and message that only bill Murray could pull off like in his other roles with deeper meanings i.e. "lost in translation" and St. Vincent. I may be mistaken but I believe this is the first movie that showcased he can do comedy but he is suited for the theatrical serious roles as well.

I believe this is my most favorite Bill Murray movie. So funny and a great love story. Loved watching Bill's attitude towards others slowly change for the better.

Not a review of the movie itself, which needs no introduction if you've seen it before. I bought this as a gift for a relative whose birthday is February 2nd and it was a big hit! I might think about buying it for them again next year, if the price is good! This disc is a great way to relive this classic movie, with great behind-the-scenes footage and extra scenes for the 15th Anniversary Edition.

Say what you want about Sony the company, but their back catalogue department is THE BEST in the biz as far as remasters and restorations go, and this has benefited their back catalogue UHD releases greatly. GROUNDHOGS DAY was in many ways the end of an era. Certainly the end of Harold Ramis and Bill Murray working together, and as sad as that was at least they went out on such a high note. This was also just about the end of Bill Murray's era as top billing comedy star, as he soon would be doing more oddball turns in Wes Anderson dramedies while tackling more dramatic turns in things like Lost in Translation. The UHD looks truly filmic, with just the right touch of HDR, just a organically pleasing presentation. The audio gets an upgrade though this type of film isn't exactly going to be MAD MAX FURY ROAD as far as Atmos soundtracks go!

First off, this move is a classic! I was glad to see a high quality release close to groundhog day this year. I had my kid watch it and he got a kick out of it... I was worried it would be "too old" for him to be interested in. Otherwise the audio quality is great and has been remixed to Dolby Atmos though I did not see much benefit here since it is not the type of movie that would take huge advantage of that. The visual quality is suburb in 4k! I did not see much benefit to HDR on this either but the crisp transfer of the original film version is amazing since it was shot pre digital. Some scenes look horrible due to the video and effect techniques of the day such as the time lapse clouds in the beginning (so noisy!) but the rest of hte film expresses so much detail that you actually don't see in a lot of movies today.

No need to review the movie, if you haven't seen it yet, shame on you! I will review the 4k bluray of the film instead. The image quality is top notch (for a movie shot on film as opposed to digitally). Film brings with it film grain, and it won't have the super-clean, super-sharp look of digitally shot movies, but it looks notable better than the conventional bluray. Sony didn't scrimp on this disc either. It was made from a 4K master instead of upconverting a 2K master as many 4k bluray disc manufacturers are often doing. It makes a difference. I love this movie and this is my favorite presentation to date. The Atmos audio track (7.1 if you don't have Atmos) is the best this movie has ever sounded. It has been a number of years and I was surprised by how well the movie still holds up. I recommend this disc to any fan of the film with a 4k bluray player & TV. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Harold Ramos and Bill Murray re-team for what is inarguably one of the BEST films ever made. While it is a comedy, Groundhog Day holds a really profound and thought provoking message: what would you do if you had to keep reliving the same day over and over for eternity? How would you grow as a person? This is probably my favorite Bill Murray movie that comes second just behind Ghostbusters. Seeing this movie in crystal clear 4K is well worth the upgrade, coming with the same special features as the 15th anniversary blu ray, but also has a digital copy redemption code. If you don’t own Groundhog Day, this is well worth your money to pick up!!

A movie I absolutely love. You can watch over and over that never gets old! The quality with Blu ray is amazing.
