"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;How can a movie that is over 70 years old be a the top entry on this list? Easy, it was shot in 35mm Technicolor, has been newly-preserved with an &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;BkKtnVLEicqMOGMddLS3gQ&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/8k-resolution-beyond-4k-1846844&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;8K resolution&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; (7680x4320 pixels) digital master, and tells a classic story in grand fashion.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Blu-ray edition of the Wizard of Oz makes itself right at home in your own home theater. Both color (especially the transition from sepia tone to color) and detail (check out the detailed checkerboard pattern on Dorothy&amp;amp;#39;s Dress) are outstanding, in fact, better than many of today&amp;amp;#39;s films. Also, although the sound quality is dated when compared today&amp;amp;#39;s surround sound, you will be surprised how well it does sound. This film reminds us that classic films of years-gone by can hold their own against today&amp;amp;#39;s &amp;amp;#34;blockbusters&amp;amp;#34; if treated with care. 35mm film is HD quality after all.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Note:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; Since this film was made before widescreen was commonly used, you will see &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;v1w4pFqizyjI8oyLc8R5WQ&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/black-bars-on-lcd-plasma-oled-1847838&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;black bars&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; on the left and right side of the image, if viewing on a 16x9 TV or &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;C2khHhvl4Zb-zTPPZTol4Q&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/video-projection-guide-1847859&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;video projector&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

Now this epic film is available on Blu-ray in both Limited and Standard Editions. Despite it 1959 original theatrical release date, this film not only holds up in time, but the restoration and transfer to Blu-ray makes you think it was just made yesterday.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In addition, the audio, having been originally recorded is revitalized in &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dts-hd-master-audio-1846891&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; one, with my only suggestion that the you turn up your subwoofer one or two db, as the lowest frequencies are more subtle that we are used to today.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Whether you buy the Limited Edition (which also includes a standard definition copy of the 1925 silent version, as well as two hardcover books) or the less expensive Standard Blu-ray Edition, you will experience how a classic film is deserving of the &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;gTrAB4ODeCfCMaK1klalGg&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Blu-ray Disc treatment&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

However, I will say that it definitely deserves a top spot in your Blu-ray disc library. From the opening space arrival scene to the final battle, this film has it all in terms of a video feast for the eyes and excitement for the ears. Whether watching the 3D or 2D Blu-ray version of this film, the main things to take note of are outstanding black levels (the scene where Jake Sully is trapped in the Jungle at night) and the fantastic color layering in the animals, plants, and landscapes presented in the film.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Also, although the soundtrack isn&amp;amp;#39;t the &amp;amp;#34;hit-em-over-the-head&amp;amp;#34; variety, it is a great example of well-blended and properly balanced audio mixing, which makes it the perfect complement for the video presentation. Of course, the best way to watch this film is in 3D - the 3D doesn&amp;amp;#39;t push you away, but draws you into the fantastical world of Pandora that James Cameron created.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Simple story, little dialog, lots of action and violence. That sums up Mad Max: Fury Road. However, don&amp;amp;#39;t let that description fool you into thinking that this is just one insignificant film, it sets a new benchmark for the action movie genre that will hard to beat - at it looks and sounds great - definitely a worthy entry to this list. Settle in a big screen TV and turn up the volume.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;NOTE:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; Max Max - Fury Road, received six Oscars at the 88th Annual Academy Awards, including: Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Make-Up and Hair Styling, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Film Editing.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/mad-max-fury-road-blu-ray-review-1846464&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you like lots of over-the-top (and sometime ridiculous) action movies, Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation. Right out the gate, the film presents an action scene that you think can&amp;amp;#39;t be topped - but it is. Of course, to make the action even more convincing the Blu-ray Disc delivers both excellent video and a Dolby Atmos/TrueHD soundtrack that places you inside the action.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/mission-impossible-rogue-nation-blu-ray-review-1846465&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;San Andreas&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is a great example of how to put a disaster movie on film, the basic thin story and characters aside, this film definitely provides a great workout for your home theater system.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Visually, the detail, along with color balance and contrast range is very good, but in terms of audio, your home theater receiver, subwoofer, and surround speakers will be definitely put to the test, along with the patience of your upstairs or downstairs neighbors (if you have any).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;For more details and perspective, &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/san-andreas-blu-ray-review-1846468&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;read my San Andreas Blu-ray Disc Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Package&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YHRMI3O?keywords&amp;amp;#61;san%20andreas%20blu-ray&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1444587914&amp;amp;amp;ref_&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_1&amp;amp;amp;s&amp;amp;#61;instant-video&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;8-1&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Available On Amazon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;3D Blu-ray/2D Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YHRMLAY?keywords&amp;amp;#61;san%20andreas&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1444587837&amp;amp;amp;ref_&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_2&amp;amp;amp;s&amp;amp;#61;movies-tv&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;1-2&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Available On Amazon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;DVD Only&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YHRMMLC?keywords&amp;amp;#61;san%20andreas%20dvd&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1444587953&amp;amp;amp;ref_&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_cc_1&amp;amp;amp;s&amp;amp;#61;aps&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;1-1-catcorr&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Available On Amazon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.amazon.com/San-Andreas-Dwayne-Johnson/dp/B00YGO1FQE/ref&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_1?s&amp;amp;#61;movies-tv&amp;amp;amp;ie&amp;amp;#61;UTF8&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1444587837&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;1-1&amp;amp;amp;keywords&amp;amp;#61;san&amp;amp;#43;andreas&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Amazon Instant Video (rent or buy)&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This film will be the closest most of us will ever get in experiencing what it is like to be in space. From the blackness of space to incredible views of the Earth&amp;amp;#39;s surface, and the claustrophobic space capsule interiors, Gravity delivers one of the most impressive visual and dramatic stories put on film.

The story delves into the after-effects of the event of The Avengers on Tony Stark, as well as thrusting a new destructive villain onto the scene.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In addition, in terms video and audio, this disc shines. The &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;o8AHC7XVmYtX3EiOA8cAwg&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/surround-sound-home-theater-1846357&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-HD Master Audio&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 7.1 channel sound track is active and immersive, with excellent balance between the seven channels and subwoofer, and the 1080p video transfer provides excellent detail and very natural color saturation. Also, the bonus features are well worth checking out. Also, don&amp;amp;#39;t forget to watch all the way to the end of the final credits for an extra snippet.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Read Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Despite its long 165 minute running time, the Dark Knight Rises is a faced paced, but fully fleshed out film. For me, the most interesting aspect of the film, character wise, is that both Batman and Catwoman don&amp;amp;#39;t really have a lot costumed screen time, but instead we see their real personalities and failings behind the masks.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In terms of visual and audio presentation, Director Christopher Nolan pulls it off. The use of both widescreen and IMAX footage both draws you further into the drama and the action at key points, and, except for a couple of instances, along with a fantastic surround sound audio track, the film provides a excellent &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;rBk2n-KNUongk9_Lni_MMQ&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-home-theater-1846801&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;home theater&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; viewing experience. The Blu-ray Disc video transfer is excellent and except for a couple directorial decisions, the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dts-hd-master-audio-1846891&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-HD Master Audio&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 5.1 channel audio mix is superb.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Also, the bonus features are top notch. My favorite: the Batmobile documentary.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Even for those that are not superhero movie fans, this is still a great film to add to your collection. The film is available in several packages, including a Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray Package that also features &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Batman Begins&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Dark Knight&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-the-term-1080p-means-1846837&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dark Knight is definitely a modern classic. Both the story and the production are well-executed. The opening back robbery scene is excellently staged and well photographed. The color and detail are natural, and sound mixing is perfect. In addition, the Dark Knight also lives up to is name in the several excellent night scenes. The night skyline of Gotham City and Hong Knog provide a great test of how well your TV or video projector can render black levels without losing detail. Also, it is important to note that the Dark Knight changes its aspect ratio from 2.40:1 to 1.78:1 in several major action sequences. The reason for this is that portions of the film were shot in IMAX, and the Blu-ray preserves the intent of filmmakers in this area.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; brings back the JJ Abrams/Tom Cruise collaboration for an exciting, non-stop, over-the-top, action thriller that will get your blood pumping. The film has been released on Blu-ray in two versions: a two-disc package that comes with a Blu-ray disc, DVD, and access to both standard and Ultraviolet digital copies, but with minimal bonus features, and a three-disc Best Buy exclusive that adds more extensive bonus features. If you can, opt for the Best Buy edition, as the extra bonus features are a real treat.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The film has been transfered to Blu-ray with excellent &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-the-term-1080p-means-1846837&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;1080p&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; video and &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-digital-ex-plus-1846885&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby TrueHD&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 7.1 channel audio, that not only makes for a satisfying viewing experience, but is great demo material to show off what your home theater system is capable of.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The combination of great action thriller, video, audio, and bonus features make this a must-buy for your Blu-ray Disc collection. The only downsides is that no director commentary was provided for the film, except for the deleted scenes feature and the sequences originally filmed in the IMAX format are not shown in true &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.imax.com/about/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;IMAX&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; aspect ratio on the disc.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Read Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://click.linksynergy.com/link?id&amp;amp;#61;gJ/tLiWupmo&amp;amp;amp;offerid&amp;amp;#61;306581.4947863&amp;amp;amp;type&amp;amp;#61;2&amp;amp;amp;murl&amp;amp;#61;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fmission-impossible-ghost-protocol-best-buy-blu-ray-disc%2F4947863.p%3Fid%3D2405095%26amp%3BskuId%3D4947863&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Price for Best Buy Edition - Buy Direct&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you are looking a great way to give your home theater system are real workout, check out the release of the entire extended versions of the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Lord of the Rings Trilogy&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; on Blu-ray Disc. Each of the three films (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt; Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;) takes &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;nLMbl8h6iFwcsp0nW590KA&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/super-audio-compact-discs-3134859&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;two discs&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; each and features a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dts-hd-master-audio-1846891&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-HDMaster Audio&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 6.1 channel soundtrack, along with multiple audio commentaries for each film.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The only downside is that you do have to get up off the couch and change discs about halfway through each film - but we all need a bathroom and refreshment break. Also, an additional nine discs - all DVDs (that is a total of fifteen discs folks) include bonus features that open up the entire world of &amp;amp;#34;middle earth&amp;amp;#34; from conception to screen with extensive interviews and behind the scenes footage. Some features are carried over from the original extended version DVD sets, and some are new for this release.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The entire Star Wars Saga is now available on Blu-ray and is definitely worth the price. The image quality is especially good on the original trilogy, and 6.1 channel surround remix is great. No matter which package you purchase, this is a must own for your Blu-ray collection, not just for the movies, but also for the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/home-theater-tutorials-4102680&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;extensive extra features&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

The camera work provides a unique perspective on how a sniper sees battlefied conditions, most times through the sight of a rifle. Also, objects, buildings, clothing, and vehicle presented in natural color (not oversaturated).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;On the audio side, whether you hear in full Dolby Atmos or Dolby TrueHD, the soundfield puts you in the middle of the action, but at the same, is not overly sensationalized. Yes, there are some explosions and lots of gunfire, but it is done with reality in mind. &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;American Sniper&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is definitely a great test for your home theater system .&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/american-sniper-blu-ray-review-1846458&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Blu-ray Disc Review &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Unbroken&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is the true-life inspiring story of Louis Zamperini, WWII hero, as brought to the screen by Director Angelina Jolie. The film explores the childhood and WWII experiences of Zamperini in a realistic fashion, with an excellent script, well-directed cast, and cinematography. The film is also mixed in &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-atmos-cinema-to-home-theater-1847278&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby Atmos&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, but also contains a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-digital-ex-plus-1846885&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby TrueHD&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 7.1 and &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-digital-ex-plus-1846885&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby Digital&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 5.1 downmixes for those that do not have a Dolby Atmos setup.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The film is also visually stunning with excellent color and detail - definitely a great addition to your Blu-ray Disc Collection.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Blur-ay Disc Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; -&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In the tradition of Japanese Kaiju films and Mecha Anime, Guillermo del Toro delivers a tour-de-force monster film that delivers on all fronts on Blu-ray Disc.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The film is visually stunning, despite the pro-ponderous of dark scenes.

In addition, the bonus features are not be missed - if you like commentaries, director Guillermo del Toro provides detailed insight into the film that is still entertaining to listen to, and the rest of bonus features go into even more detail on how the film was put together, and the Best Buy Exclusive package includes an additional look at the giant robots designed for the film. This one great Blu-ray disc package that puts your home theater system to the test.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Read Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; -&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you are looking for a film that has lots of style, combined with intense R-rated action, that really gives you home theater system a sonic workout, then &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;John Wick&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; may be a Blu-ray Disc that deserves a space in your collection.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The film stars Keanu Reeves as a former hitman that has left his profession for a happier, mainstream, life, but an unfortunate turn of events force him to return to the seedy underbelly of New York City&amp;amp;#39;s hitman culture. Without giving away to much, let&amp;amp;#39;s just say that bullets fly and blood splashes with methodically staged fight choreography that is very well done.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Also, as an added bonus, this disc is mastered in &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-atmos-cinema-to-home-theater-1847278&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby Atmos&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. So, those that have a Dolby Atmos setup can experience a fully immersive soundtrack. However, even if you don&amp;amp;#39;t, your Blu-ray disc player will automatically provide either a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-digital-ex-plus-1846885&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby TrueHD&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 7.1, 5.1, or &amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-digital-ex-plus-1846885&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby Digital&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 5.1 real time downmix, depending on the capabilities of the your home theater setup.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Give your home theater system a real workout with some great Dinosaur fun.

However, you don&amp;amp;#39;t need to have a Dolby Atmos setup or special Blu-ray Disc player to play this disc.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For those that do not have a Dolby Atmos setup, when you go into the Blu-ray Disc audio setup menu - still select Dolby Atmos, and your Blu-ray Disc player will detect what surround sound options are available on your home theater receiver. If non-Dolby Atmos equipped home theater receiver is detected, a real time downmix to either Dolby TrueHD 7.1 or 5.1 is applied. What this does is reassign all of the directional, height, and ambience information contained in the Dolby Atmos soudtrack and place it within your 5.1 or 7.1 channel setup parameters. Also, if your receiver is not compatible with Dolby Atmos or TrueHD, you can still select the Dolby Digital 5.1 option or let your Blu-ray Disc player set it by default.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dolby True HD downmix is still immersive and spacious, with objects placed at points in space similar to a true Atmos mix (helicopters and drones are the best examples), but lacking some of the location preciseness and, of course, some loss of the height channel experience that Dolby Atmos can provide.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/transformers-age-of-extinction-blu-ray-review-1846476&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Transformers: Age of Extinction 3D Blu-ray Disc Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;3D Blu-ray/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Package&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Extinction-Blu-ray-Bonus-Disc/dp/B00PNV9SYK/ref&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_5?s&amp;amp;#61;movies-tv&amp;amp;amp;ie&amp;amp;#61;UTF8&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1442629180&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;1-5&amp;amp;amp;keywords&amp;amp;#61;transformers&amp;amp;#43;age&amp;amp;#43;of&amp;amp;#43;extinction&amp;amp;#43;&amp;amp;#43;3d&amp;amp;#43;blu-ray&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Buy From Amazon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;2D Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Limited Edition Package&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Age-Extinction-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B00L4K3MLE/ref&amp;amp;#61;sr_1_fkmr0_1?s&amp;amp;#61;movies-tv&amp;amp;amp;ie&amp;amp;#61;UTF8&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1442629218&amp;amp;amp;sr&amp;amp;#61;1-1-fkmr0&amp;amp;amp;keywords&amp;amp;#61;transformers&amp;amp;#43;age&amp;amp;#43;of&amp;amp;#43;extinction&amp;amp;#43;&amp;amp;#43;2d&amp;amp;#43;blu-ray&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Buy From Amazon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;2D Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Steelbook Edition (Best Buy Exclusive)&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id&amp;amp;#61;gJ/tLiWupmo&amp;amp;amp;subid&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;amp;offerid&amp;amp;#61;342314.1&amp;amp;amp;type&amp;amp;#61;10&amp;amp;amp;tmpid&amp;amp;#61;13127&amp;amp;amp;RD_PARM1&amp;amp;#61;http%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Fsite%252Ftransformers-age-of-extinction-steelbook-only--best-buy-blu-ray-disc%252F6760435.p%253Bjsessionid%253D7991320C1D78842EB01103FA2D4F1635.bbolsp-app01-186%253Fid%253D3242154%2526skuId%253D6760435%2526st%253Dtransformers%252520age%252520of%252520extinction%2526lp%253D4%2526cp%253D1&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Buy Direct&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;After years of waiting, Jaws has now finally arrived on Blu-ray, and it was definitely worth the weight.

Pixar not only deftly weaves a multi-layered commentary on life, achievement, and responsibility, but delivers the whole thing in a form that appeals to all members of the family. Of course, the added bonus is that the Blu-ray edition will knock your socks off with its 2.40 widescreen high-def transfer and excellent &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dts-hd-master-audio-1846891&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-HD Master Audio&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 5.1 channel audio track.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Just about everyone likes Star Trek, but let&amp;amp;#39;s face it, it was aging franchise, that is, until JJ Abrams arrived. Even if you are not a Star Trek fan, this movie delivers on all cylinders, from the opening battle to the ending that bridges the classic with the new. The 2.40:1 aspect ratio widescreen transfer presents an epic adventure the way it deserves to be presented. As far audio goes, the soundtrack is a great example how to balance sound. The dialog is not lost on the effects and the effects a well layered and realistic. In all, this disc makes for a great home theater demo.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Why is Transporter 3 on this list? OK, it is not what I would consider a classic or groundbreaking in terms of filmmaking. It is simply one good roller-coaster ride of an action movie. However, the reason I have this movie on this list is that it is great example of how well Blu-ray Disc can render color and detail. The prime example of good detail reproduction are the scenes that feature close-ups of Jason Statham and &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3130063/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Natalya Rudakova&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. Ms Rudakova has a very freckled face and the detail is so good, you can easily see the individual freckles.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Even if you are not a fan of high-octane action movies with lots of hand-to-hand combat, this disc is worth having on the shelf just to impress on your friends what they are missing by not having Blu-ray. If anyone tells you that there isn&amp;amp;#39;t any difference between DVD and Blu-ray, this is one disc that will shut them up.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Iron Man is one great fun movie. Even if you are not a fan of comic-book films, you will like this one. It is one of a select group of films that really makes you want to cheer for the hero. Robert Downey Jr. pulls this one off with style. In addition, the audio and video on this Blu-ray Disc release will also make you want to cheer. The 2.40:1 aspect ratio captures the film&amp;amp;#39;s scope perfectly, and the color and detail are definitely demo quality. Of course, in this type of film, you need great sound, and Iron Man really, really, delivers great surround sound.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Transformers movie franchise is certainly not everyone&amp;amp;#39;s cup of tea, the movies are long, the action is never-ending, and sometimes it is hard to follow who is fighting who (or, in this case, what is fighting what)...However, all that aside, the latest installment: &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Transformers: Dark of the Moon&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is both a visual feast and has one the most effective surround sound tracks I have heard, which earns it a place on this list of top Blu-ray Discs that put your &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;QLSZDLx5G8ilXgXROX8zgA&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/essential-elements-of-home-theater-system-1846784&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;home theater system&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to the test.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This film takes full advantage of its 7.1 Channel Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, starting from the opening titles. There is liberal use of the surround channels that really helps to immerse you into the film. I am sure that was part of the concept, as the film was present theatrically in 3D and the heavy surround channel use would definitely add to a 3D &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;uIQlvxbXFBNoFUU9etli1g&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-3d-blu-ray-movies-1846504&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;viewing experience&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Unfortunately, this initial Blu-ray release is only available in 2D, but I am looking forward to the forthcoming 3D Blu-ray release to find out how well the surround activity really does mesh with the 3D visuals. However, that aside, Transformers: Dark of the Moon on 2D Blu-ray is definitely worth it, if you want to hear how well surround can be executed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Although Megamind is not that impressive with regards to story line, and the video transfer to Blu-ray is not exceptional, this disc is still worth your consideration, especially if you have a 7.1 channel surround sound system. &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1001526/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Megamind&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Dreamworks-MEGAMIND-First-Movie-to-Go-from-Theaters-to-Home-in-Dolby-Surround-7-1.shtml&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;first Blu-ray Disc release to incorporate a full 7.1 Channel encoded soundtrack in the Dolby TrueHD surround sound format&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

If you missed it at the local cinema, think of a combination of &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265086/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Black Hawk Down&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116629/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Independence Day&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;War of the Worlds&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, with a sprinkling of every WWII movie ever made, all combined into a loud, unrelenting action movie. Except for a brief intro (very brief), the action starts and doesn&amp;amp;#39;t stop. However, despite its flaws in script and acting, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Battle Los Angeles&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; is a feast of sight and sound. The image quality is fantastic, with a seamless blend of CGI and live action - you will be convinced that Los Angeles is being destroyed. Also, make sure your subwoofer is up to the task.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Robert Downey Jr returns to his other &amp;amp;#34;action hero&amp;amp;#34; persona, Sherlock Holmes, in &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;A Game of Shadows&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. In this outing, Detective Holmes has to stop his most cunning and ruthless adversary, Professor Moriarty, from starting a war that will engulf all of Europe. In addition, Holmes has to come to terms with the fact that his trusted partner, Dr Watson, is getting married - definitely causing a case of separation anxiety.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Although the film has a somewhat convoluted script, the Blu-ray Disc presentation features both demo quality audio and video. The film is available in three different edition packages, a Blu-ray only edition with minimal bonus features, and both a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and Best Buy Exclusive SteelBook Edition that contains additional bonus features. All three editions provide access to an &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/ultraviolet-video-3276410&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Ultraviolet Digital Copy of the film&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Read Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Forget the story, forget the acting, just sit down with a large bowl of popcorn and enjoy all the action from 17 action heroes. That is the essence of the third entry in The Expendables film franchise.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The film is available on Blu-ray in both a theatrical or extended edition (in the same Blu-ray disc package).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The video presentation is excellent - natural color, excellent contrast, and details.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;However, the main feature is the surround sound track, which is mastered in Dolby Atmos.

The &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dts-hd-master-audio-1846891&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DTS-Master Audio&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; 5.1 channel soundtrack is both aggressive and well defined, and the video transfer is one of the cleanest examples of the integration of CGI and live action available on Blu-ray disc to date. Also, the bonus features, especially a tour of the real-life Battleship U.S.S. Missouri, are definitely worth your time.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/best-blu-rays-for-home-theater-1846505&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Read Review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;I will admit that the video quality of the Master and Commander disc is not the best example of how well a Blu-ray Disc can look, but it is a great example of how well Blu-ray can sound. The best example here is the sea battle in which Russell Crowe&amp;amp;#39;s ship gets torn apart. The scene starts eerily quiet, then a flash in the fog is seen. Next is several minutes of chaos with wood splinters flying everywhere, shouting, and cannon fire. However, what makes this scene really a sonic delight is a short sequence that takes place below deck and you hear panicked crew members running on the deck above you. This is great example of well-executed surround sound, and if you have a setup that includes &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/dolby-pro-logic-iiz-1846771&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dolby Pro Logic IIz or Yamaha Presence&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, this scene has even more impact, making for one great demo segment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
