  Review of 4K Ultra HD Steelbook

  Having not seen this movie in a theatre and being an ardent fan of Steven Spielberg, I was anxious for the blu-ray release of his latest film. I was not disappointed in the slightest. It is a seamless and well proportioned blend of live action and CG and the sound editing is flawless. The sound effects and Silvestri soundtrack were restrained as to not overpower the movie’s visuals and story telling, but richly layered to enhance the watching experience. The steelbook version contains both 4K Ultra HD and blu-ray discs (stacked - I prefer that the discs are located on either side of the case - see photo). It also included digital copy (more on that later). I watched the 4K version and the visual quality is superb with English Dolby Atmos and English DTS HD Master along with a plethora of additional languages and descriptive audio for the hearing impaired. As is typical, special features (of which there are approx. 97 min.) are located on the blu-ray disk. There are no commentary tracks. Upon registering the disc through Vudu, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the digital copy included the featurettes contained on the blu-ray disc. Vudu included (7) featurettes. In addition to the featurettes, Movies Anywhere and iTunes also included “Trivia” (20 still panels of misc. information) and a photo gallery. Amazon Prime does not include any extras. Lastly, putting aside the high caliber of filmmaking and a captivating storyline (tip-of-the-hat to “Willy Wonka”) the numerous references to 1980’s arcade/video games, television, films and social cultural influences contained in the film will make this a movie that I will watch again and again. And without giving much away with a spoiler, the extended nod to Kubrick was simply put… extraordinary in it’s execution.

  Amazing movie. One of the best I’ve seen. Wish the digital code was still valid though. Expired in 2018

  A fun look at virtual reality life while taking us back to everything that was awesome about 80's pop culture. A lot of fun. One movie with so many memories of why I fell in love with movies in the first place.
