Nocturnal Animals
With so many superhero action-packed movies erupting from Hollywood in the last few years, this is certainly a welcomed change.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector's Edition
The script deserves a grade of B, the scenery, special effects and acting a B+, and the 3D version an A+! Definitely own this one, it’s worth it!
The Hunger Games Series
The 4K Blu-rays are presented in 2160p High Definition video with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. This, of course, makes the resolution fantastic and the colors vibrant and spectacular.
Trolls
Trolls' animation is fantastic with color hues that are vibrant and full and run the entire spectrum.
Doctor Strange
There is humor strewn throughout Doctor Strange, although it sometimes felt like (at times) it was too much.
