While I've seen this movie before, I must have not payed much attention. I borrowed the blu-ray from a friend so I could compare it to the UHD-bluray that is "supposed" to be delivered next Tuesday. I must admit the DTS-HD MA 7.1 track is quite active in the back/side surrounds as well, and my subwoofers get a good workout. Hopefully the coming UHD-bluray has an even better ATMOS track and HDR10 improves the picture.  To say the least, the 4K UHD-bluray is most definitely an upgrade in both audio and video. The audio track, Dolby Atmos, is as good as the best Atmos tracks that I've heard-in-person to date, (LOTR and Matrix Resurrections immediately come to mind), so the 4K UHD-bluray is worth it for the audio alone. The video does look a bit crisper(which I prefer) and the HDR10 definitely adds to the 4K UHD-bluray, but this alone without the audio would make me question whether it would be worth it for the video improvements. I personally am quite happy that I upgraded and I do recommend this 4K disc.  |

These are next up in the que, got these yesterday and they apparently have good ratings. I like Emily Blunt/John Krasinsky so thought I'd take a chance?   Both films were great, suspenseful Sci Fi, (better than Edge of tomorrow, I felt.) |

An oldie, I guess - Thor. I've never envied Chris Hemsworth, but I would have taken the chance to smooch Natalie Portman too...  |

I've been watching the Marvel movies and surprised at how much I enjoy them. Most of them were purchased used (thanks LC!) and a few are new. Watching both Blu-ray and 4K UHD, both are spectacular in the theater setting for both audio and video. I did a Google search to determine recommended order to watch them in and that's what I've followed. And found the recommendation to be spot on in providing a continuous thread of plot as the stories are interwoven.
This followed watching all the John Wick and Daniel Craig Bond movies and the Mission Impossible series. I've watched a few movies in between but am finding I really enjoy the broadening of the whole story from watching them in series.
Happy Viewing!
Chuck

I've found that while 1080p blu-rays don't have HDR10/DolbyVision that the 4K UHD-blurays do, many times the 1080p blurays look quite spectacular. Are you watching the Marvel movies in the order they were released?....or the actual timeline order? I tend to watch them in timeline order now. |

I guess it's timeline order because it's certainly not in release order. I highly recommend it. |

Definitely a top 5 favorites movie of mine. While the movie is 32 years old, the added Dolby Vision video processing has improved this movie a bit even though it's shot in the dark environment of a submarine. The DolbyTrueHD 5.1 audio sounds quite good with the DolbySurroundUpmixer. The cast is quite a good one, quite a few well known actors.  |

Finally getting around to watching the rest of the "Jack Ryan" collection of 4K UHD-Blurays. I'm now on "The Sum of All Fears" and I'm quite enjoying it. For a 20 year old movie, it looks pretty good in Dolby Vision. The DolbyTrueHD 5.1 track is surprisingly good and the Dolby Surround Upmixer does a great job of matrixing the other channels.  |

 If you enjoy being pinned to your seat by the LFE capabilities of your system, this is a film to watch (if not THE film!) The movie is preposterous even in fantasy/sci-fi, but the Blu-ray audio was so bombastic I didn’t care and got lost in it. |

I've not yet seen this movie, but all of the personal reviews I've read have stated the same about how "proposterous" the plot is. I have a hunch I will end up enjoying it because of the low expectations I have. I'll probably end up renting it from RedBox. |

Yeah, it’s definitely worth one run through, as it sure as Hell puts any competent system to the test in the audio department. It’s LOUD!! I needed to kick back a few notches from my typical action movie output settings. |

Just finished watching the first Rocky movie. I'm actually surprised at how well this uhd bluray looks(Dolby Vision) and while it's not like the action movies of today, the DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio track isn't half bad. It's been a quite a while since I've actually watched this movie and it's like I'm watching it for the first time.  |

Having just watched Rocky II, the video and audio were very similar to the Rocky I. I really like the way they continued as it felt like this was the natural continuation from the first film.  |

“THE MENU” According to the reviews this movie was pretty good. For my part, words couldn’t describe how much it sucked.  |
