I wouldn't be surprised if in the next one they are fighting intergalactic baddies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoggieHowser Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yeah. I didn't enjoy JW2 as much - it didn't have that same sense of purpose as the first one. The second has the same flair - but not as much substance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 hmm Leon the professional gets a good wrap in its new coming on 4K UHD"Sony remastered Léon: The Professional in 4K from the original film elements in 2015 and re-issued it on Blu-ray then as a Cinema Series edition, complete with a new Dolby Atmos soundtrack (one of the early such mixes available on the format). Now, as was the case with Besson’s The Fifth Element, Sony has finally released the film in full native 4K (2160p) on Ultra HD. Believe me, the result was well worth the wait. Léon was shot on 35mm photochemical film using anamorphic lenses, with very little in the way of non-practical effects. Sony’s taken their 4K master, given it a restrained HDR color grade, and the result is breathtaking. Crisp fine detail abounds in skin, textured film grain, hair, dirty brick and stone, plaster walls, a curtain of beads, wrought iron, and the fabric of clothing. When Léon emerges from the shadows to deliver his message to the “Fatman,” the blacks surround him like a cloak, yet they never seem crushed at any point in the film. Just look at the way the light glints off the frames of Léon’s glasses and his blade, then reflects back up onto the Fatman’s neck. When Léon returns to his apartment, watch as the light picks up the thick paint texturing on his door as he closes it. That simple play of light over different surfaces, revealing different reflectivity, is really where HDR shines. The film’s colors are accurate and just slightly subdued, as they’ve always been, but the HDR opens them up and gives them a more natural appearance. This is a beautiful, reference-quality transfer, one that allows a great film to look like a film." "If you haven’t seen Léon: The Professional yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. Sony’s new 4K Ultra HD release is reference-quality, certainly the best version of this film you can experience at home, and it carries over all of the previous Blu-ray extras too. Buying this film yet again might be a tough sell for those fans who’ve already collected the many previous disc releases, but this is probably the last version you’ll ever need to own. Both the film, and the 4K disc itself, are well worth it." http://www.thedigitalbits.com/item/leon-professional-uhd-brd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some like a tidy box to keep together so may be a reason to buy. but otherwise the individual discs are cheaper and especially if maybe dont need all. its a fantastic set though. dunkirk is amazing ! as a note ... no 3D audio on these so will be upmixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovem Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I saw it today at JB Chatswood Westfield for $189.00. Plus the 20% off of course. I didn't want all the titles so I bought Dunkirk and Interstellar individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
