Now You See Me [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Includes Digital Copy] [2013]

Beautiful steelbook, excellent interior design, very entertaining B+ film

Despite the reviews from the so called professionals, this movie was a surprise when i saw it in theaters, great acted, excellent cast, great direction, excellent music, great plot. Maybe the last sequence a little cliche. But great overall. Hope it gets a sequel.

Leterrier’s new film, "Now You See Me," is in some ways a return to his roots. Like his two "Transporter" movies, it’s light on seriousness and heavy on style — a razzle-dazzle fantasy about a team of bank-robbing illusionists. It’s slick, deliberately silly, and sprinkled with visual confetti — Steadicam spins, lens flares, CGI trick shots.. Just as unusually — at least for an effects-heavy production — it's shot on celluloid with anamorphic lenses. This gives the movie a retro visual texture and a more classical sense of widescreen space; the trade-off is that the digital effects look less convincing than they would in a digitally-shot movie. However, in a film where nothing is supposed to be credible, mediocre CGI seems appropriate. It’s not meant to seem realistic, so why should it look real?

Movie Quality: If you liked the movies such as The Prestige, The Illusionist, or similar kind, you are guaranteed to love this one. Clever story line, good acting, fast action, and loads of magic - all keep you hooked until the very end. Personal Rating: 4.5/5. Video Quality: Although somewhat cinema-like, I found the color pallet of this movie is very close to life-like. Facial details and background look sharp, black level is very strong - you can separate the shadows. No noticeable judders. Overall video quality is excellent. Personal Rating: 4/5. Audio Quality: The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track sounds amazing. Fidelity is top notch and dynamic range is extremely wide. Dialogues are crystal clean and surrounds are very distinguishable. Didn't notice any distortion at all. Personal Rating: 4.5/5

After the purchase of Now you see me 2 made by my husband. I realized we had never seen the first one. So, low and behold there it was. Upon purchase as a gift we had sat down to watch it only to make it to the very end (and by this point already in suspense) to have a flawed disk. No matter how many times we stopped and restarted, took the disk out tried to clean the dvd player.... it just would not play. Took it back, and they exchanged the copy.... brought it home and ta da!!!!! Relief :) This movie is so amazing, unlike its predecessor, I love the magic scene, and, this one pulled you into it. One mystery at a time, and kept you guessing. The second.... well, I'll let you be the judge of that.

The Good: The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games. The updated controller works with other Bluetooth devices, too. The Bad: 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017. The Bottom Line: The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box.

I have the sequel to this first movie, that explains a lot of things that I didn't know that took place in this one that I'm reviewing now. I loved the second one so much, that I had to have the original movie to know the origins of the main characters, and how they both are related to get the full picture. It was an excellent choice I made in getting the original movie, and I enjoyed it very much!

I've watched the movie multiple times before i purchased it and i dont think i once regretted sitting down and spending 2 hours watching it. The casting was great and the story is fun. It's not a movie that keeps you on your toes throughout it and it definitely has some flaws since nothing is perfect but it really is a great movie
