Bass is astonishing
Thanks for the review.
While I'm sure that the picture and sound are exemplary, the fact is that the extras are missing. It isn't as though they couldn't be included and there was nothing preventing the pre-existing extras being included. They were omitted to give reason for potentially having to yet again buy these titles towards the end of next year when there will be a 20th anniversary package released that will include the extras.
Yeah, give it 9, but I'd suggest giving it 10 doesn't account for the absence of the extras, extras that are in existence and could have been included within this release. I'm assuming the review relates to this particular release and the associated package and not simply the film? How will the 20th anniversary release be rated relative to this if it does include the extras? Why has this release been awarded a 10? Even the packaging you get is questionable. The info on the rear (pasted onto the box) is already strarting to peel away from the box on the copy I received.
Looks as though I'll have to retain the Blu-ray definitive boxset within my collection if I want to access the extras without having to buy the same titles yet again. Why was there a 4K UHD release this year when the anniversary isn't until next year?
Do we really need a separate thread for each film?
Are they being sold individually or in the same box? - as you can see above, people are having to repeat exactly what they have said in another thread and link to ityes. Because they are .... different films ?

Im thinking of getting the xbox one x to play the 4k ultra discs, has anyone got any thoughts on quality of the player.. thanks
Yeah I compared it to my X800 a while back and I swear the X800 was slightly better. The Xbox X is good as a backup though.I used to use my Xbox one x, and it’s a decent player but I upgraded to a Panasonic UB820 and find it so much better on many levels . For instance it’s quieter and has better visual quality. It’s powered by Panasonic’s clever, second-generation HCX (Hollywood Cinema Experience) picture processing engine. This means it can call upon the chip’s HDR Optimiser, which Panasonic claims will improve tone-mapping in an HDR picture with static metadata. It takes into account the brightness limitations of your display and tweaks the image to extract the most detail, particularly in whites and bright scenes. I’ve never looked back and love the player.
I’d say the Xbox is fine as entry level but can be noisy and does not have as many options .
This is unacceptable

That screen grab is directly from the UHD and has been verified by other people in Blu-ray.com and by myselfyour trolling. I mean enough is enough. I’m watching these on a decent screen and player and sound system and they are night and day in my eyes and ears. You seem intent and on some sort of sad mission here to look for any reported problems. Your watching on a 43” aged screen and on a games console for gods sake and sitting what 2 feet away ?
Just leave it. You don’t like them ? Fair enough. Just join Blu-ray.com and you will be able to compare screengrabs and moan all you want with the rest of them.
Your having a mare here. I really don’t know what your end game is ? Trying to put folk off ? It’s an outstanding transfer. Tell you what . Buy a decent screen and player and sound system and maybe try again ?
Or maybe just enjoy the movies ?
Just like others greeting about quality when they are streaming the movies which is nowhere near the quality on disc. Come on.
I imagine your next post will be on return of the king thread next
And I have to say the screen grab you posted looks nothing like what I’m seeing on my system. Nothing near it
Oh wowThis is unacceptable

Does anyone have time codes for this? Especially the extended edition.I JUST watched up to this part and then stopped to look up some reviews online.
Not as astonishing as the Blu-Ray used to be
