The Shining [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [1980]

This is undeniably one of the greatest horror/thriller films of all time. Now this film has been given a facelift that really brings it to life. It sports one of the best 4K transfers out there and is definitely a reference title for all movie enthusiasts.

This movie is a all time favorite, and now to have it on 4K, is awesome. This is the best it has ever looked. Amazing job on the transfer. The SteelBook looks great also.

Fabulous movie. Fantastic addition to my steel book collection.

As a collector, this 4K UHD SteelBook of The Shining is a must-buy. I popped in the 4K disc and was stunned at how great the video quality is. It's very film-like, as movies should be, with little-to-no digital noise reduction, making the movie feel... like a movie. The colors look vivid, and everything looks crystal clear. There's plenty of film grain as well, making this 4K UHD disc feel something like a 1 to 1 copy of a 35mm reel. I love it because it's identical to how films were presented in theaters. The audio quality is also spectacular. It's not a Dolby ATMOS track, but we do get a DTS track that has plenty of punch with bass, clear dialogue, and surround sound effects. Everything Warner Bros has remastered for 4K UHD and Blu-ray thus far, from The Matrix to Batman, has sounded excellent, and The Shining is no exception. It would have been nice to also have the original audio on here as an option, but it's not a deal-breaker. If you're a fan of the film, or have a 4K TV and a good surround sound system, this is one of those 4K Blu-ray titles that is worth checking out. I look forward to buying more of WB's 4K Blu-ray releases as long as they continue to put out this level of quality.

I’ve been a fan of this movie for a very long time and seen every version from VHS to Blu-Ray and can honestly say this movie has never looked better. It looks like this just came out of the theater yesterday. Very impressed with this remaster. Some good extras but nothing really new here. I actually would have loved to see something about the remaster process but unfortunately nothing like that was included. Note that a lot of materials says “Extended Edition” but don’t buy the hype. The UK version of this move has 23 minutes cut off the US version so the “Extended” version is still the same theatrical version originally released.

Stanley Kubrick was one Of the most evocative directors of the modern age and The Shining is without a doubt one of his greatest masterpieces. Seeing this film upgraded to crystal clear 4K with enhanced sound is like a completely new experience. Boasting a slew of new special features, this set is worth every cent to add to your collection if you’re a true film fan. You also receive a free digital redemption code. This is definitely a 4K Upgrade you NEED to add to your collection.

Was really excited to hear this was coming out, and I knew I had to have it. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. This 4k version does not disappoint, and any fan should see this as a necessity. As soon as I got it, I watched it with my niece, to bring Kubrick's visionary film to a new generation. She loved it, just as I knew she would. Even if you've never seen, do yourself a favor and watch this 4k version.

The five stars are a review for the product, not the film, (although if I were reviewing the film, it would also get five stars). Suffice to say, the definition of the presentation here is beyond what I imagined was possible for a film of its age, and in the words of Han Solo, “I can imagine a lot”. If you have a 4K setup, there is absolutely no cause for further consideration or debate; purchase this item immediately.
