A reference demo for Dolby Atmos!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is excellent choice all around: the movie (one of the best “natural disaster” genre choices), visually & for the sound. Surround was immersive coming from all channels, overhead heavy driven with lots of low end. HRD is a bonus. Digital copy & slipcover included.

Incredible to think what if
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off the movie 2012 I have to say is a what-if movie. What if this had actually happened would it have played out the same way and just how many people in the world would have survived. The crazy thing is the scenario could still play out because anybody who lives in this world right now knows Yellowstone is still a super volcano waiting to erupt. You have a great castanist John Cusack, Woody harrelson and Danny Glover to name a few. I can't imagine what people would have to go through to survive something like this if it was survivable. To know that there's a powder keg sitting in the middle of the United States 20 miles wide that can wipe out humanity in a snap of a finger. You know it'll make mouth Vesuvius look like a firecracker. It's a long movie Phil with a lot of what ifs great special effects and impressive acting. If you're the type of person who likes disaster movies this is a good one to own.

Easily Roland Emmerich's best film and my personal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I was cautioned against reviewing this particular disaster film, I still enjoyed most of this movie. This work employed a monstrous amount of CGI and visual effects to complete the disaster scenes. This was accompanied by very cliche acting scenes and a large amount of drama that catered to a very unlikely plot. The odds of the protagonists making it out of every situation with as little casualties as they had is mind boggling to me. The way that they portray the earthquake reactions is very alarming because the frequency of California’s earthquakes and their small seismic tremors leading to the world ending disaster is very confusing and misleading in the way that they didn’t portray the public outcry in a larger magnitude. The signs that the Earth was undergoing major environmental changes were there for everyone in California to see before the leading scientist had a chance to convince the president. The way that the ships were kept under such secrecy is very unbelievable to me but this movie was filmed in 2009 so they probably did not take into account how intrusive and widespread the internet is now. This movie just in general has a lot of inconsistencies and probably contributed to a lot of the hype around the media’s portrayal and public opinion surrounding the mayan calendar and their culture. There was a lot of drama throughout the film due to many family dynamics that helped add to the excitement of the disaster footage. For these disasters to seem feasible, a lot would have to go wrong within our environment very quickly to capture the public’s opinion and bring attention to possible explanations like the Sun’s neutrino emissions. Overall, this was a long and mostly entertaining movie with a lot of special effects and crazy scenes from a real life doomsday.

Half an upgrade.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it in the theatres in 2009. I bought the blu-ray immediately on it's release date, and really enjoyed the way it looked and sounded. I wish I could say the same about this 4k version, however. Sony is generally wonderful about their 4k restorations, but this film is only 50% good..in my opinion. The new Dolby Atmos track on this 4k version is really nice, with some impressive low end and atmospherics. Really thunderous bass isn't there, though..and I expected that from a disaster epic of this caliber. The picture quality is only marginally better than the blu-ray, and therefore was disappointing. In short..if you have Atmos capability, the disc is a good upgrade over the blu-ray. If not..then stick with your blu-ray copy.

Ground shaking movie
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 4k version of this movie is very entertaining 3 reasons 1 the 4k picture for the disaster parts are nice. Reason 2 the HDR is wow if you have a TV that gets bright for example when yellow stone volcano explodes is awesome. Last reason 3 if you have a dolby atmos set up I have the q90r 7.1.4 set up it really puts you in that environment of destruction for example when they are trying to escape California and they are in an airplane you can hear everything being destroyed around you as they are navigating out of there wish is awesome. I do recommend this movie #1 if you have a good bright HDR TV and a dolby atmos set up

This is a movie that needed to be upgraded to 4k.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been having this movie for a longtime on blu ray. When I seen the movie was being released on to the 4k with upgraded audio I decided to pick the movie up and give it a shot. I have to say if your a fan of disaster movies pick this one up. The uptick in Dolby Atmos on a surround sound system is a treat to the ears and the way this movie should be watched. The picture gets a nice boost over the blu ray with added HDR effects in certain shots that make the movie stand out over the blu ray. If you have a surround sound home theater at home with some subs pick this movie up.

2012
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I watched 2012 years ago and wasn’t that impressed. I decided to give the new 4K blu ray disc a spin. First thing I noticed was the picture upgrade. Colors were rich and blacks were pretty much on point. The special effects looked much better on the new disc. But I think what brought everything together for e was the brand new Dolby atmos track. From the very first rumble, it definitely had my attention. The overhead sound is active and the bass is room shaking, well done. This 4K disc is well done and gets my highest recommendation. 5 stars.

Great 4K Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not going to go into the movie as most people have seen this by now. I have to admit that I love this move. I don't care that the science doesn't add up. I watch a movie to escape from reality and enjoy some popcorn and this movie qualifies. The story is engaging, the characters are interesting and I always like to think what if this were to happen and just enjoy the entertainment from there. The 4K pictures looks amazing and the sound is excellent.

So many great actors and edge of seat action
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love John Cusack as the lead he is so believable in every he takes. The extras talk about the Mayan calender which I am glad I did not see this movie till well after 2012!!! The end of life as we know it, conspiracy theories and WOODY HARRELSON just makes this such a great movie to watch, it really is an edge of your seat action and drama. I am so glad it was cast with so many of my favorite actors makes it so much better to watch.

Fun movie
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a fun disaster movie. The video got a little dark since they applied hdr to the movie. I mean it does kinda add a new dynamic look for it but I think that would of been corrected with Dolby vision but sadly it’s not in vision. However the audio got a redo and is in atmos and the sound quality is amazing. Definitely worth the buy if you have a home theater.

Book of Revelation
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What if 2022 is really 2012? Could we actually be getting ready to see Apocalyptic scenes from this movie happen? A must-see if you have read the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

2012
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Director Roland Emmerich loves epic disaster movies. This might be the one that takes the cake. Cheesy story , but the disaster sequences are unbelievably detailed and 4K HDR is excellent even if it’s a 2k upscale. Dolby Atmos dominates this movie. What if the Mayans got the last 2 numbers switched and it’s 2021 when the world ends.
