Customer Ratings & Reviews

Another great Tom Cruise movie. However, the CGI is showing it's age.

If you like those sci-fi alien invasion type of movies you'll enjoy this one on top with great visual effects/ picture and atmos sound. All I have to say is that my speakers were enjoying this movie. Lol all 7.2.4...

This movie was a terrific movie to watch when I was younger. It was so terrifying yet intriguing to me. I loved the 4K transfer and loved that it was also full screen. The Dolby Atmos surround sound is also very good on my sound bar.

Story is well known, review is about the 4K quality. This has a fabulous 4k display quality, which adds a lot more detail, as well as immersion, especially due to the Dolby Atmos sound.

Pretty cool, though the spine design of this steel book is a bit ugly; It has a 60/40 seam on the spine. It looks terrible. No insert, but overall decent. Great $10 purchase.

I grew up with this film,i love it so much and whe i saw it at Best Buy for 4k at a great price. I had to buy it.

Great movie! Great home theater sound and special effects. Thank you Best Buy for the great price!

Good movie! Glad it made the jump to being released in 4K.

Great movie now with better quality visuals Movie looks stunning, sounds better with Blue ray 4k UHD and also includes a reg blue ray disc and digital copy allowing me to watch anywhere. Purchased from best buy at a good price lower than most retailers, I am happy with my deal.

The steel box came package really well Best Buy heard the complaints of their customers there was no damage to the package. The design of the steel box looks great. I’m glad I bought it.

What Spielberg, Cruise, and Koepp accomplish here in the first two acts is nothing short of revolutionary. They've made a big-budget summer blockbuster about massive destruction and action that manages to studiously avoid every cliché and expectation of such films. It stays resolutely on the characters' points of view, showing us almost nothing they don't see, even to the point of coming tantalizingly close to a raging battle, then avoiding showing it. It keeps its focus on character instead of spectacle. The "hero" of the piece remains decidedly unheroic, wanting only to escape, and trying to talk others out of fighting back. The purpose of every piece of action is to frighten and disturb rather than thrill, making ingenious use of familiar 9/11 imagery. At the end of the second act, it is hands-down the best alien invasion film ever made, and perhaps one of the best sci-films of all time. Then something strange happens. The filmmakers lose their nerve, and remember that this is an extremely expensive summer film financed by two studios. Or perhaps it was the fact that it stars Tom Cruise, who up to this point has spent almost two hours doing nothing but run for his life. Suddenly, and tragically, the film changes, violating not only its carefully established tone, but its own internal logic. Suddenly, Cruise begins to act like a hero, and summer action clichés force their way into the story like a worm into an apple. The transition is jarring, and it creates a serious disconnect from the story. While it's true that Wells' original ending creates a problem for a movie, here they try to remain faithful to it, while still shoehorning moments of triumph into the conclusion. Unfortunately, these moments come off as alternately false, unbelievable, and meaningless, since it isn't mankind that defeats the invaders in the end. Is it recommendable? Well, I suppose that depends on what kind of viewer you are. If you feel that 75% brilliant material overshadows the 25% that falls apart, then you'll enjoy it. If, however, you're the kind of viewer who feels that the final impression a movie makes is its ultimate stamp on your memory, you may be in for a crushing disappointment. On the other hand, if you're the kind of viewer who just likes the cliché of the boom-boom summer action spectacle, you're likely to be bored and frustrated with the first two acts, and only engage in the end. It is confused about what audience it's trying to reach, and consequently, isn't likely to satisfy any of them.

Best Buy needs to bring back physical media sadly, Best Buy thinks that there is no more physical media needed in their stores. This is a bad choice. Bring back the physical media

One of the greatest Sci-Fi movies ever made. Tom Cruise is stellar as is the rest of the cast - especially a cameo from Tim Robbins. Although the movie is about aliens coming down to take over the world - the stories foundation is that of one father's love for his family and the lengths he goes to protect them. Absolutely fantastic. It will have you scared, laughing, crying and cheering - a pretty good run of emotions from just one film.

Another Great WB Release. Solid 4K transfer, film grain is still there & the CGI doesn't look bad upscaled at all. A9 V10

This era of movies ( early 2000’s ) is unmatched. This movie is based off the a series from the late 1800’s and was read over the airwaves In the 30’s that shocked the nation

I watch this movie in the early 2000's and I loved it, the action and story telling of the character is very well done. It feels like a family struggling for survival in an end of world situation. This is definitely one of my favorite moves from Tom Cruise with the likes of Oblivion another great movie from Cruise.

I am not surprised that this movie was good, Tom Cruise always gives 100% in his acting to give people a real performance

Probably my favorite Tom Cruise film, steelbook looks good.

This is really good movie, thanks best buy to bring this in 4K. I'm planning back to buy another good movie!!

Nice remake glad to have in my 4k collection looks great
