Great visual effects and sound at a great price!!!

I would highly recommend this movie for all action fans who appreciate exotic filming location and special effects! I just recently went to and climbed a section of "the great wall" in Beijin China. It deserved to be one of "seven wonders of the world." This movie captured the "essence" of the Great Wall of China and has awesome special effects and martial arts! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I think any action movie fan would enjoy it too.

Watched on new 4k DVD player yesterday. Kids enjoyed the movie, I thought it was just ok. Beautiful pictures and effects. 4k was awesome.

4k reference quality movie ,lots of action edge of your seat moments

Lots of action ,Fantastic Movie in 4K a lots of Detailed and Crisp ,

I loved this movie. Great action. Great 4K picture quality and sound

When I first saw the previews, I was concerned about a "white savior" type movie, but it's absolutely nothing like that. It's basically a collaboration between the Chinese cinema industry and the American movie industry, and is visually utterly gorgeous! I bought it in part because I want to be able to study the use of color and the cinematography in greater depth.

I hate calling any movie bad, so many people have to work on it and so many lives are impacted by a single film being produced. However the end product on screen is the deciding factor regarding a film's worth, and for me this movie is lackluster. A fish out of water story where the good guy wins against insurmountable odds, blah blah blah. The picture quality in regards to HDR is great though, technically this movie is stunning on my 4K tv, HDR quality is bright and crisp, and action scenes, notably those at the end of the film are jaw dropping. Not crazy about this movie but I have rewatched certain scenes ad nauseam just for the brilliant picture quality. Worth a buy if you find it on sale.

The Great Wall is a good old fashioned "monster" movie full of action and wonderful special effects. Matt Damon does a good job in the main character. It is a departure of his movies in the past. If you are looking for a Jason Bourne type movie you will be disappointed. If you want a couple hours of good old fashioned fun then this movie is for you. The only negative thing I can say about the movie is the attempts at humor fall short of hitting the mark. In spite of this, the movie is very entertaining and well worth watching over and over again.

To be honest, this film is predictable. It relies on Matt Damon being the hero and saving the Chinese population from these creatures. There is an interesting plot twist but that is not what this movie is about. It is about the war with the creatures and the Chinese warriors, men and women, and their battalions. Each specific duty is designated by their colorful uniforms. These colors really "pop" on to the screen in 4K. It is eye catching and interesting to watch when the Chinese fight in their brilliant colors against the creatures. This I think is the redemption of the film. Otherwise the movie is average at best.

from the being of film it started off with action and also finsh the same way. the 4k release color is in my veiw much better than the bluray. this move has alot of bright color in it and the hdr bring it out very well. if you whjat a bmovie with bright full colors this is worth getting.

This was a surprise for me. I watched it on Netflix and I thought it was good enough to add to my collection. The colors of this movie are great, in line with other movies like Hero.

I thought this movie was really terrific fun, with amazing graphic special effects. I was a little hesitant at first to purchase the 4K Blu-ray because of some of the poor reviews, but after researching and seeing that the film's digital intermediate was 4K (making it a true 4K release), I went ahead and purchased it. I was glad I ignored the 'film' critics comments about character development, story line, yadda, yadda. I really enjoyed this action movie for its excellent, colorful costumes, sometimes eye-popping detail, action, and great special effects. Watch it in 4K if you can. It'll be a treat and a good time.

‘This movie Stars Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal with a good minor role for Wilhelm Defoe and a slew of great Asian actors. This reminds me of a modern version of the old Bob Hope Buddy movies with a modern update. The story and the imagery are really well done. Damon and Pascal stumble into a kingdom in China that has built a Great Wall to protect from the invasion of creatures that invade every few centuries. This defense is their central organizing principal as a society and the battle scenes are impressive. Along the way (spoiler alert) Damon and Pascal split as the lure of “Black powder” proves to overwhelming for Pascal. Defoe plays a bit of a mentor who has lived in the kingdom long enough to give Damon and pascal advice on how to go along to get along. fun movie. Don’t listen to the critics. The Beastly creatures are quite impressive too!!!

This is a dynamic, fabulous film that is so creative, well done in all categories. The action never ends and is spell binding. The sets are amazing. All the art direction & CGI are so well done. Matt Damon is excellent in this film.

Pretty good movie. Loved the visual effects. Great one to show off the 4k with.

At first, I didn't think much of this movie when I heard about it but man. When I popped it into a Sony ubp-700 on a Sony 950G, I was blown away. Add good quality sound and bam! You got yourself a fun movie.

The 4K addition really stands out...this is an entertaining movie with plenty of eye candy...Sit Back relax and just enjoy.

I rented this movie first to be sure it was worth adding to my collection! The answer Yes ! The action packed move was great from start to finish. To watch this movie in 4k was awesome, the colors were Splended the drums, the Chinese costumes were so beautiful ! And best barely a let up in the action at All!! Watch this and judge for yourself! I loved it enough to buy it !!!

This is the fourth movie I have watched in 4K I’m still being amazed at the picture quality and realistic action it’s like watching a stage play from the center front row, just awesome entertainment..
