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.
Inferno
Inferno's ending has been altered. While cinematically more exciting, it also holds no mystery. Audiences who don’t know the story might find it wrapped up the movie neatly, but those who do won’t necessarily enjoy it.
Mr. Church
What starts out as a heartwarming, but tragic, story, loses itself half way through and becomes so much less than it potentially could have been.
Independence Day: Resurgence
If you own the first Independence Day, I suggest buying this one so you have both in your collection, but, as a stand-alone, it doesn’t excite as much as the original.
The Night Of
The Night Of is a hard look at the judicial system, The New York Police Department, Rikers Island Penitentiary and racism in the United States.
