Whats the last Bluray you watched?

Last night, I watched Leon: The Professional.  Older movie I had seen back in the nineties and remembered as excellent, but frankly turned out that I had no memory of the movie.  This was the recently re-released Bluray version with Atmos.  Excellent movie -- not for the kids.  Maybe not for some adults as it's a bit tough to see an 11-year-old Natalie Portman in such a rough role and such a tough and awkward situation.  Do be sure to see the bonus material that explains the casting and the director's intent.  This time around I watched the extended version -- the story and cinematograph are stunning and well complimented by the Atmos soundtrack. 

I never saw La Femme Nikita but just ordered that Bluray (got to fill that someday player with something).  That feature the original portrayal of Leon by one of my favorite actors -- Jean Reno.  (He was unbeatable in the 1998 version of Godzilla.

Couldn't resist -- just ordered both of those last in Bluray.  Godzilla "Mastered in 4K" for what that's worth.

Watched " Star Wars - The Force Awakens " last night, since we watched Return of the Jedi the night before. Wanted to see how well they segued from one the other. Worked pretty well in my opinion !

Whats the last Bluray you watched?

Now do you really want to remember her like that?  Of COURSE you do!  And as she was in Episode 4. 

I intend to get that in UHD when it's released.  Was filmed so that 4K is possible.

Leon is great, and the " Extended International Version " is the only one to watch. Where the Hell is the 4K Blu Ray Sony ?
Also, La Femme Nikita is another favorite of mine. Thanks for reminding me to re - watch these.

HA!  I noticed you didn't include Godzilla!  Like one guy said on the BRForum -- it's sort of a perverted pleasure.  My HT has always made it sound good even back to the release days.  I'm looking forward to the DTS HD MA version on a DTS:X optimized system.  And naturally, "Mastered in 4K".

Ya, not a Godzilla fan myself.

kids wanted to watch SMurfs 2 in 4k....man what a great picture

Ive read this before and i agree but it doesnt make sense...but with the oppo 203 the atmos sounds better ....i know it makes zero sense since the avr is decoding...but i swear the atmos is better (and others...quite a few have claimed the same...odd)

Wife rooked me into bad moms last night, wasnt bad and I lol'd several times. Not my kinda flick, but oh well.

Might try Mag 7 UHD tonight.

My wife wanted to watch " Jupiter Ascending " last night ( in 4K ). Since I'd watched it once, I used this as a good excuse to try adjusting the dynamic conversion " slider on my Panasonic UB900. Interesting results - brightens the picture a bit without raising the blacks as far as I could tell. Made it even more " eye candy ". Not a great movie, but a bit of fun sci fi cheese that certainly looks good in 4K.

It looks pretty damn good in 4K, and those space scenes / night scenes on the RS600 look spectacular. As does Mila.

Hey - Luc Besson should cast the two Mila's in a space opera ! 

Whats the last Bluray you watched?
