X-Men: Dark Phoenix 4K Ultra-HD [Blu-ray] [2019]

Well packaged, great movie. Fast delivery

great so I've now got to get it on 4k

You know, I can understand if people don't like to watch superhero movies let alone comic book frachises . But what I can't wrap my head around is when people watch almost nothing but the ever same repetitive superhero genre movies like I for example also do and then call this movie a stinker. If anything it is most definitely one of the better superhero movies out there and easily better than half the MCU movies. For me the bad publicity and the ridiculously bad reviews it's getting from the audience is nothing but a snowball effect I've repeatedly witnessed before. Seeing a movie getting bad press seems to successfully manipulate more people into despising it, giving the movie bad online reviews which in turn snowballs into what happened to this movie. This has happened before with movies like Battleship or Chappie to name just a few both of which are outstanding films as well. I guess I can be proud to have my own opinion which isn't so easily influenced by the trend created by other people. I had a ball watching this movie, the story was fine, the effects and the action were great, the soundtrack was perfect and not being funny at least every 30 seconds was a welcome change of pace compared to the MCU. I'lll miss 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise and we'll see if the implementation of the characters in the MCU will in fact make for better X-Men movies after all. But then again, one can always snowball opinions...As for the UHD presentation, it's spot on with superb visuals, great HDR and a reference quality Atmos soundtrack. I really thought I was going to see a bad movie ending a great franchise but man was I wrong! Thank you everybody involved in making this movie!

Happy 👌

A new movie based on Marvel comic superheroes the X-Men. It follows on from the events of the movie 'X men Apocalypse', which followed on from 'X Men Days of future past', and familiarity with both will help you get into this,Speaking of which, just in case you don't know: this and all preceding X Men movies are from Fox. And not from Marvel studios. Thus they haven't got anything to do with the movie setting of all of the latter.Although whilst this was being made, Disney who own Marvel brought Fox, so as a result this is the last X Men movie of this run of the franchise. A new version should follow somewhen.This is an adaptation of a very popular storyline from the comic involving an alien creature called the Dark Phoenix. Which bonds with team member Jean Grey and causes her powers to go off the scale and then some. Which she has to struggle to cope with, and her team mates have to try and save her. And the world from her.It's a very popular storyline from the comic. The movie X-Men the Last Stand incorporated into it's storylines, and the end result was none too popular.So will this new take succeed?Provide a fitting and glorious finale for this run of these movies?Will it make the fanboys happy?Are fanboys ever actually happy so is there any chance of the latter whatsoever anyhow?The answer to one of those questions should be obvious.The rest:Alas no.The last two movies before this one had ok action, but worked well because they had some great little character moments. Remember those bits with Quicksilver? Don't get any of that here. Jean just gets herself worked up a lot whilst her team mates try to save the day. But nobody ends up getting any much decent character material in the meantime.I didn't think Rogue and Magneto had anywhere to go as characters at the end of the last film, but whilst the former is short served here, the latter actually gets some reasonably decent things to do. Such as they are.Jessica Chastain also turns up, playing an alien who is after the Phoenix as well. Whose motivations are never really gone into much. And thus she ends up not able to do much with a very poorly defined role.The set pieces won't stick in the mind either.Till the final one, which starts out reasonably well. But then can do more than effectively wrap things up.There is though a final scene which tries to be end for all the characters, and this run. And it's not bad for what it is. Fanboys will just be saying 'Bring on the marvel movie' version, but it will make regret this run, even though it never perhaps lived up to potential, and this take on the characters being done.A not terrible, but disappointing end.Being the last film and thus not needing to set up anything else [and of course it ignores the events in the post credits scene from Apocalypse] there is nothing extra during or after the end credits of this.The disc begins by going into the menu, with no trailers or ads.Subtitles and language options:Listed as just being English on the back of the box, checking the disc actually reveals there are more [why do companies do that??]Languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian. English audio description.Subtitles: English, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Russian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Swedish, Ukrainian.This does match Marvel movies in one respect though. It has no extras on the dvd. Whatsoever.

With this movie I have completed my X-men collection

Dvd came within a couple of days the film is absolutely brilliant

....favorite X-Men movie but I quite enjoyed it, and in this format it looks and sound great. I didn't realise Hans Zimmer did the soundtrack and that just added to the enjoyment.
