Great looking disc and great movie. Would show this disc off for the sound alone to test out speakers.

Got a chance to upgrade this film I'm a big fan of. I already had the blu-ray version but had to have this since Best buy had a great offer on it. If you are still into physical media as I am and a fan of this movie, this is a must get.

Great release to have, but on the dim side even with hdr however

Robert Deniro and Al Pachino need I say more excellent movie a must own

Great cast even better story sound editing for shoot out

Great classic film with an awesome cast. Looks really good on 4k!

The movie itself is a great film and probably one of my favorites from the 90s. Besides the film, my copy of the film came in very fast and well packaged. No damage whatsover. Reason why I love buying physical media from Best Buy.

This is a classic hit and the first time Pacino and Dinero had wored together since the Godfather. Cinematographer is great and it’s an all-star cast. I must for any collector.

Great film, cheap price when I bought it on sale. Deniro/Pacino

First off, the movie itself is absolutely fantastic. I won't review the film beyond saying it's a must see and must own for anyone that loves crime dramas. In terms of the 4k, this is the best way to own heat so far, but make sure you have a TV that handles HDR and contrast well, because that's the biggest bang for your buck with this transfer. This movie isn't going to be a showpiece of your 4k collection as the image is intentionally soft or gritty in some places and the step up from the blu-ray isn't massive. The HDR and the new color timing makes for a somewhat darker image throughout so that's why it's important to have a good tv so the blacks are handled correctly and don't overwhelm the picture. If you have never seen this film, this is a no-brainer. Buy it right now. If you have a good tv and want the best picture possible for this movie, pick this up. If you have a lower end tv and already own the blu-ray, it might not be worth it as you might not see enough of a difference to warrant the upgrade.

One of the best heist movies of all times with an iconic cast. Even if you have never seen this movie it is worth the gamble. The 4k will not disappoint.

The Most excellent MOVIE ! Great actors for this movie. Most Excellent use of pew pew in this movie. Would be excellent if they have HEAT 2 !

If you haven’t seen this film, do it now! They literally use it to train people on the best way to reload in a gun fight. It’s that good.

Heat is cops and robbers for grown ups. It has action, and it is intense, but it isn't a modern action movie. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but anyone looking for THAT with THIS movie is going to be very disappointed. This movie takes its time. There's barely any action in the first two hours of its runtime. The film takes its time to introduce us to the characters, their lives, their dreams (or lack there of) and how regular, every day life pulls them further and further away from where they thought they would be. The film engages you to bring you closer to its characters so that quiet moments have significance and we feel the intensity, dread and concern that each one does for their own situation. Al Pachino's character is "good" but does bad things. Robert DeNiro's character is "bad" but does good things. Val Kilmer is loyal and clever, but does some awful things on the domestic front. The three dimensionality of the characters is critical because when the third hour kicks in with an action sequence (is it a spoiler to say there's a bank robbery in a cops and robbers film...? I don't think so...), the sequence is successful in part because of its technical merits (it's extremely well shot and paced) but more so because we know these characters and relate to both sides beyond "good" and "evil." The final act is not non-stop action, but it has several intense sequences leading all the way to the end. It almost feels like a different movie in its back half, and some may feel it's a reward for sitting through the much slower first half, but the truth is that neither side functions without the other. Heat is also not a new film, so it's likely anyone checking it out has already seen it or - at least - heard of it. If you haven't done either then you should consider: 1) do you like movies with characters who are opposed on the surface but less so in their characterizations? 2) do you like law enforcement movies with obsession as a theme front and center? 3) do you like classic movies (yes, it's almost 30 years old...)...? If you even consider "yes" for 1 or more of these questions, I'd recommend checking this movie out. Now, the set. Brand New 4K transfer...that is REALLY dark. Have a good set up because while the transfer holds up mostly well, it is dark. Darker than the previous warner and 20th century 1080 Blu Ray transfers were (although research on this edition seems to indicate that the 4K transfer is from the same source, which was mastered at 2K so...who knows?). It certainly looks good if more than a bit gray in its color palate. Dynamic Range (between light and dark scenes) is quite wide and although there is some softness, its probably due to the source rather than a mastering error...grain is present throughout but not excessive. It looks like a film, not a digital output (which is good considering digital wasn't a significant thing yet when this film came out...) The Blu Ray Discs (1 movie + 1 extra) included in the package are the same as the prior 20th century fox discs, so if you're future proofing your collection and you have the prior 20th Century Fox release you will get it again here. All extras are transfered over and you get a really nice assortment including approx. 4 hours of supplements in addition to the commentary over the film. There is a slipcover in its first pressing - I got one. Always a nice bonus for those that care about things like that... All and all, this is a very solid 4K release (not a demo release but there's nothing in the film that would lead you to think it should be...) and an overall great presentation of an unusual, engaging and interesting film in term of tech specs (audio/video) plus extras. It's not for everyone (not for kids, not just for the violence and language but for the overall pace). Don't expect a big triumphant positive ending but rather one that will leave you thinking and even sad...and you're good to go.

One of the best bank heist movies set in Los Angeles. The film "Den of Thieves" tries to copy "Heat" but this is still the gold standard for this type of film.

Great movie with a very good transfer. Definitely the best Heat has looked and sounded since its theatrical run. Recommended!

All time classic…Pacino, Deniro! Intelligent script, layered plots, incredible action sequences, great acting, and visionary director helming this epic tale

Excellent quality and price. I preordered it for in store pick up that was very easy there was signage in the store where to pick up the order.

Picked this up for $7.99 and it was well worth it. Restoration has this 90's crime classic looking fantastic.

Movie looks fantastic on 4k. Its a little dark, but i believe thats how the movie was originally shot.
