Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

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.

Imagine if Dorothy Gale had actually been adopted by a sadistic wannabe dictator and was forced to live in a world of violence where the weather cannot take you anywhere except inside. Now imagine that your only dream refuge is down a dark descending circular stairway which lies at the center of a stone maze. Proper Spanish with English subtitles. Learn or brush up on a different language while enjoying Pan's Labyrinth. Never was able to find a blu ray until this 4k blu ray came out. The true black make the movie extra...extra.

In the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Ofelia and her ailing mother arrive at the post of her mother’s new husband, a sadistic army officer, in the Spanish countryside. As Ofelia’s mother lies immobilized in anticipation of her forthcoming child, and her high-ranking stepfather attempts to fulfill his orders of crushing a nearby guerrilla uprising, the young girl ventures into an elaborate stone labyrinth presided over by the mythical faun Pan. Convinced by Pan that she is a legendary lost princess, Ofelia sets off on a quest to complete three dangerous tasks and reclaim her kingdom and immortality.

This is one of my favorite movies. It blurs the lines of reality and fantasy, and shows the magic of a child's imagination. The transfer to 4k is breathtaking, vivid colors, amazing sound. The Pale Man scene is just masterfully done. Even with subtitles you don't miss anything. The spanish language is beautifully spoken and helps you get lost in this world.

A great film! Epic! GDT at his best! Wish the creatures were used a bit more in the film but still must see film! 4K really helps!

It’s about a girl who uses fairy tales to escape the real life horrors of fascist Spain, leaving the audience wondering if it might actually be real. The pacing, the music, the acting, the grim setting, the madness, and fairy tale formula make this possibly the greatest movie of all time.

This is a classic and the realities versus the fantasy spun a great story. I was not expecting that much, but this movie is fantastic.

I wasn’t won over completely by this movie coming out in 4k but definitely could tell it was upgraded. Colors are definitely better and the detail in some of the costumes is so much more defined. Would recommend it if you’re a big fan, otherwise it could wait

This movie is one of my absolute favorites and the fact that it is FINALLY in 4k makes me so happy. The extras that are included in this collection is so worth it and if you haven't seen any of Guillermo's films, this is one of those you can't miss.

Better to buy this masterpiece -- maybe the finest fantasy film ever made -- in the Criterion Blu-Ray version. For some unfathomable reason, the 4K omits the 7.1 audio channel (but includes it on the accompanying Blu-ray!). This is inexplicable and stupid. And it isn't really visually better than the Criterion. Buy that instead!

Pan's Labyrinth is an amazingly beautiful film. His story is riveting and filled with wonder. I absolutely love the cinematography and the directing is impeccable. If you can get beyond having to read subtitles, you're in for a treat.

I purchased this knowing that it was not in English but the few people I watched with this were surprised that there is no English audio version. Great movie though.

Not only do I believe this is Del Toro's greatest film, it's one of my favorite films ever made. It's absolutely perfect storytelling, visuals, and audio. A film from a master filmmaker firing on all cylinders.

Already owned Blu-Ray copy of Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). Decided to Pre-Order this upgrade to 4K simply because it is UHD. Very disappointed that Best Buy did not offer this incredible film on SteelBook.

Anything by this director has got my attention so with all the films that he's come out with their Guillermo he's so he's the greatest I just love this and I'm glad I finally got it on Blu-ray 4K

Gripping, terrifying and mesmerizing. Although, it is not in ENGLISH, the sup-titles do not stop the scares and chills. 4K is tremendous! The pristine quality actually works with suspense!

It’s a classic. I remember driving from Boone to Charlotte to see this movie when it came out in theaters. 13 years later and it still gives me chills. In a creepy way and a good way.

For a lower I prefer this 4k version of Del Toro's masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth than the Criterion Collection that is more expensive despite having only the blu ray version in it.
