The Shawshank Redemption [DVD] [1994]

A classic film that will still be talked about years from now looks even better in 4k and the delivery arrived even earlier than expected in perfect condition

Loved this movie. Seen it many times on my dvd and I decided to get this on sale and it's in better picture.

Just dang good. There’s a reason people always be talking bout this one. Pleased to own on 4k baby! (Photo: me putting the Steelbook in front of my face pretending I’m watching the film when in reality, the disc is in the case)

A classic movie in 4K! You can’t go wrong with this purchase and for $10 on Black Friday!

One of the few films I consider near perfect. I don’t have any complaints about it. Great story. Great characters. Great cast. Perfect pacing. Great steelbook. One of the best films of all time

“Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” Sometimes I think I subconsciously pick movies to rewatch hundreds of times because they bring me some semblance of comfort. I relate to them in more ways than I can possibly admit. The Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies with an extremely high rewatch value, in my opinion. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve seen it. I also know that sometimes when I’m blue I do multiple viewings of it in a short period of time. It never fails to put a tear in my eye when Andy Dufresne rips that sewage stained t-shirt from his skin and lets the rain wash everything away as he meets his freedom. I feel sorry for people who have never seen this film. So, if you’re reading this and other reviews in an attempt to gather up enough positive feedback to make a final judgment call in whether you should watch this movie, I’m telling you you should watch it. It’s one of the most exemplary models of what a movie should be. The casting is great and the storyline and message behind it is deep. A definite must watch! I went from watching this on DVD to the Amazon app and now on 4K Blu-ray, each time with visual improvement on the video quality. It’s stunning and well worth the purchase!

1994 was a banner year for American mainstream cinema (Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump) and this adaptation from a relatively obscure Stephen King novella. The story of hope and redemption is nearly three decades old now and has never looked or sounded better than in this 4K UHD presentation. Even on a vintage VHS pan and scan tape the heart of this timeless tale could still move a viewer but in this presentation the film is an immersive must see!

Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins star in Shawshank Redemption, now in glorious UHD 4K! They are both sentenced to Shawshank prison for tough crimes. Shawshank is the toughest prison run by a ruthless warden and his legion of officers. I recommend this movie, but it is not for younger viewers under 16 in my opinion. Severe language and prison violence.
