Thanks Kalel
Your welcome mate at that price its a bargain and the steel book is little different to the standard steel books plus seen it am much higher price then that
.
Sainsburys online are selling the Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises blu ray steel book blu rays for 9 quid each for this week only.
I picked up the Dark Knight Rises steel book for that price, i already have the Dark Knight Rises HMV steel book exclusive but as this has a totally different design then i had to pick it up at this price and i already did a review of it already the only thing missing from this version of the steel book is that there's no digital copy.
Star Trek Into Darkness. my opinion the best star trek film ever of the 12 that are out. Picture and sound are top notch and get a good amount of extras and you get a digital copy too
Got three blu rays to review but two of them are the same film, the first one is Star Trek Into Darkness. I picked up the normal version with the extra disc from Sainsburys and the Steel Book Amazon Exclusive. The Steel Book version looks impressive with John Harrison aka **** on the front, the title is embossed, on the back you get another image of John Harrison but in handcuffs and the inside art work has another picture of him taken from a scene in the film. There are different version's of the steel book depending on where you order it from so Amazon, Zavvi and Entertainment Store each steel book is different and there's a blu ray box set which comes with a ship also from Entertainment Store.
The film transfer as always is a 1080p and by does the film look stunning, always looking crisp and clear with no sign of grain any where in the film it easily gets a 10 out of 10 here. The sound quality is equally as good, the sound is presented in 5.1/7.1 true HD you gotta have this hooked up to a home cinema system to really get the full benefit from this film again easily 10 out of 10 for sound quality.
As for the extras both the sainsburys exclusive version and Amazon steel book exclusive are exactly the same but the Sainsburys versions comes with a extra disc giving you more extras all tho this is a dvd not a blu ray, so the Sainsburys version comes with two discs. You also get a digital copy of the film to download.
So if you liked the first film and a big Star Trek its well worth picking up i would say its almost worth picking both versions up.
The last blu ray is Olympus Has Fallen, picture quality as all always a 1080p transfer, the transfer is crystal clear, no grain in sign and everything always looks highly detailed even when theres a lot of fast paced action on the screen and colours look stunning a 10 out of 10 for transfer.
The sound quality is stunning, you hear every bullet, every explosion and the thumping sound track, again really benefits from being hooked up to a home cinema system, again a 10 out of 10 for sound quality with a 5.1/DTS transfer.
As for extras theres loads on the disc but the one disappointing thing is no digital copy like its region 1 counter part but theres a load of extras on here anyway.
I really do highly recommend picking these films up and with Iron Man 3 out next week am already a little disappointed with the blu already as i have a feeling its Disney doing it so no digital copy like with what happened with the Avengers last year unlike there region 1 counter parts which did.
Got two blu ray films to recommend the first one is Iron Man 3, As always you get a full 1080p transfer and picture quality looks stunning. Everything looks highly detailed and deep and rich in colours giving the images depth, theres even a part in the film where i heard Robert Downey JR was injured and they had to CGI his face on a stunt double its so good on blu ray that you wouldn't even know.
The sound quality is impressive a 5.1/DTS 7.1 sound transfer, the film sounds great every explosion is heard in high detail and its well worth having a home cinema system.
As for extras there's a whole here ranging from behind the scenes look at Thor: The Dark World, deleted and extended scenes, Marvel one shot featuring Agent Carter and a load more extras.
Now where i am disappointed with the disc is that there's no digital copy which you would have expected with such a big film, this i bet is due to Disney releasing the blu ray not Paramount who did the release of previous films. Sainsburys are currently selling the film for £12.99 which i have to admit is a very good price. There is a 3D version of film available along with Zavvi exclusive steel book of the film.
The Second blu ray is the film Argo which i picked up the steel book version which is a little different to standard blu ray version which comes with a ultra-violet copy of the film. The steel book version now is a extended cut of the film, the picture is stunning not a sign of any grain anywhere i would go as far as to say that its perfect. As always a 1080p transfer, everything is so detailed giving you a crystal clear images gets a 10 out of 10. The sound quality again pretty much perfect, you get a 5.1/DTS transfer so everything sounds great a 10 out of 10.
As for extras theres a good hand full of extras here but with the steel book version you lose the digital copy of the film. Extra bonus is that Zavvi are selling it for £10.99 down from £14.99 and for that price its well worth picking it up.
Iron Man 3 (3d bluray) really good 3rd film in the iron man franchise. comes on 2 discs. 1 disc has just a 3d version of the film, the 2nd disc has a 2d version of the film on it along with a good amount of extras including a commentary, gag reel, deleted and extended scenes, an exclusive marvel one shot mini film about agent carter from captain America and an exclusive look at thor: the dark world
also comes in a very nice slipcase with a 3d effect pic on the front
Already impressed with The Man of Steel blu ray steel book it will just down to the film and sound transfer, it comes with the blu ray, 2D and 3D version of the film, a digital copy, the extras will probably be good and at the price of £22.75 from Amazon a bloody good price.
I highly recommend The X Files Movie: Fight the Future / The X Files: I Want to Believe - Limited Edition Steelbook. You get both films with the cinema version and directors cut version of each film which is great. The front cover of steel book looks get with a images of Mulder and Scully and you get the tile X files embossed giving it a really great touch, on the back you get large X Files logo and the inside art work another image of Mulder and Scully. Its a really stunning looking steel book and the pictures of it don't do it justice.
X Files: Fight The Future comes with a 1080p transfer which get as standard with all transfers its worth the upgrade from the dvd version but the picture isn't totally perfect as there signs of grain here and there but its good transfer all the same. The sound quality is where the film really shines you get a 5.1/DTS transfer and the films sounds better then ever. X Files: I want To Believe has as always a 1080p transfer and the picture quality is a lot better then first, with the colours looking rich and deep giving the images lots of depth, again well worth the upgrade if you have the dvd version. The Sound quality as with the previous film is stunning you get a 5.1/DTS transfer and film sounds amazing when your playing it through a home cinema system.
As for extras on both films theres pretty much nothing except for commentary on both films, i know with the dvd versions they both came with extras and with Fight The Future dvd and stand alone blu ray version came with a digital copy of the film, i don't know if the stand alone version of both blu ray films came with extras. If your a steel book fan or even a big X Files fan its well worth the money having this in your collection especially the price for both films and Amazon as of today are selling the steel book for under £16.
I highly recommend the blu ray film Fast And Furious 6, as the films as gone on they seem to have improved and got a lot better. There three versions of the blu ray, the standard blu ray, the steel book and the zavvi steel book exclusive which comes with post cards.
The picture quality is a 1080p transfer and its amazing it looks stunning everything looks rich and deep the colours jump up at you and images are crystal clear with no grain in sight, a 10 out of 10 and one most stunning looking films on blu ray.
The sound quality is just as impressive you get a 5.1/DTS-HD transfer and its stunning you really would benefit from having this hooked up to a home cinema system to really experience the best from this film a 10 out of 10 here and the film comes with two cuts the cinema and extended version of the film.
Extras theres a good load here, ranging from deleted scenes and making of etc etc, plus you get a ultra violet digital copy of the film. The film was filmed just up the road from me in London too
and £12.99 at Sainsburys two pounds cheaper then any where else.
