For a long time I looking forward this movie in a new technology, thanks Bestbuy because you always are already for yours customer. This is an excellent opportunity to watching an incredible movie and have a good time together with my family too. Your stores are in our communities for give us enjoyable time for everyone.

This was a blind buy for me. Was blown away how good this looked and story. Magical movie that is well done. Highly recommended.

To start, Pan's Labyrinth is my favorite movie for a multitude of reasons. For example, it balances spectacle with realism; therefore, it grounds itself in the simplicity of its storytelling. Furthermore, it accurately depicts the violence of war, and the true casualties therein, which are children, or their innocence. Lastly, it does all this whilst maintaining a fantastical and mysterious overtone, masterfully overlaying fantasy with reality in a subtle way. With all this being said, my review of this product is based solely on this remaster; here is my take on that front. As a movie ages, naturally certain technical aspects will stand the test of time and others will not. Pan's Labyrinth is no exception to this rule. Seeing as a majority of the shots are based on practical effects, it still looks amazing. However, there are some scene that did not age as well, such as some CGI shots of their practical counterparts. Be that as it may, this master has sharpened the image substantially, and given it better colors. To the benefit of the viewer, colors are not overdone. In fact, the best addition to the colors is actually in the shadows -- all the original filters and coloring remain relatively untouched, save for this one aspect. As such, we are given an end product that looks and feels like the original, but with the added contrast and wider color gamut. Moving on, there is also the newly remastered audio to talk about. Not only were they able to create clearer audio, but they've somehow added more depth to it overall. Scenes that take place in the woods have more depth to them and better seperation -- it sounds more alive. If you have a surroundsound system, the audio will certainly take full adventage of it. Quite literally, it feels as though you are there with the characters, hearing what they would hear as they should be hearing it. The audio on this edition ultimately adds another level of realism to the film that many didn't realize was missing. Overall, this is a faithful remaster done with a sublime attention to detail and appreciation for the original. Nothing ever detracts from this masterpiece; on the contrary, it only adds to one of the best cinematic experiences of all time. This edition is a must have for all movie collectors, and it surely will not disappoint.

I don't need to sell the film to you. It's a multiple Oscar winner. A fantastic war/fantasy film. What you want to know about is the 4K transfer. That's the interesting thing. It's dark. It wasn't as dark on the Blu-ray. That's not necessarily a bad thing. A few minor details are hard to see on a dark screen but I assure you it's better than that accompanying Blu-ray. The colors are richer, skins tones are natural. It's a very good disc. One worth adding to your collection.

With all the magical things that happen in this movie, even the not so magical, all look stunning in 4K. Personally I only buy 4K movies beef up some of the SFX in the movie and this one does not disappoint.

Keep in mind that this movie is in Spanish only. I did not realize this and trying to read the subtitles took away from my viewing pleasure. Had to watch it a second time to enjoy it.

I’m a huge fan of this adult fairytale, it sits in its own category. PQ is very good (criterion has a rival version) Sound is also put to good use

Another stellar title by Guillermo Del Toro. I recommend anything by this man. With the 4k treatment, it belongs in any movie library.
