The hunger Games - Mockingjay part 1, apart from the excellent picture and sound quality there are plenty of extras and a decent commentary track from the films director, highly recommended.

A real bonus was i managed to get the steelbook edition for only £5.99.
avengers:age of ultron 3D: comes on 2 discs. 1 disc has the 3D version of the film and the 2nd disc has the 2d version of the film and a good amount of extras including various documentaries & featurettes, a blooper reel, deleted & extended scenes and a commentary
The Flash: The Complete First Season
get all 23 episodes over 4 discs along with plenty of extras including deleted scenes, blooper reel, documentaries and featurettes & a season 2 preview. also get a an ultraviolet digital copy of the series too

Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season 1
get all 15 episodes over 2 discs along with some good extras. well worth getting given Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out in just under 3 months
Got three blu rays to highly recommend the first is Star Trek Nemesis.
I know this film got a lot of Flak but I didn't think it was a bad movie it did have it's problems with some of the film being a copy of Star Trek 2: The Wraith of Khan apart from that it's a enjoyable film and was one of Tom Hardys first films and he was great in this film
The blu ray picture quality is pretty good a 1080p transfer and 2.35:1 Anamorphic widescreen it's dark film so the transfer well shows up well compared to the dvd version. Sound quality 5.1 Dolby truehd again very impressive on blu ray if you have a decent home cinema system then it really benefits the film. Extra wise there's over 3 and half hours worth including tons of deleted scenes a lot of which was a shame there weren't in the film and there's no digital copy. It's well worth picking up and upgrading from dvd to blu ray you can get it dirty cheap second hand for a few quid, the original cut of the film was three hours but cut it down to just under 2 hours this film would have really benefited from a directors cut or extended cut.
My second recommendation is The Flash season 1 one of my fav TV shows and a massive Flash fan from the comics and seeing how they translated it from the comics to small screen it's like they lifted it from the comic pages.
Picture quality wise it's stunning you see so much detail on the blu ray, the colours are so rich and detailed compare this with Arrow which in colour tone is darker in it really stands out as the show went on the special effects got better and you really see this on blu ray the 1080p transfer looks stunning.
Sound quality you get a DTS-HD transfer and through a home cinema system it really benefits the blu ray you really feel like your hearing The Flash run at super speed and sound track is amazing. Extras wise there's tons available, a gag reel, lots of deleted scenes, a comic con 2014, special effects and loads more and not forgetting a Digital HD Ultraviolet copy of season 1 and a nice gloss slip cover with awesome artwork.
Lastly I highly recommend Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters now I have this already but found the steel book version on Amazon dirty cheap for a couple quid and will go nicely with first film which I have as a steel book as well and I liked the first film. I already reviewed blu ray before picture and sound quality wise it's gorgeous film. The reason why I picked up steel book version was art work front and back it's beautiful along with inside artwork, if you see this on amazon worth picking up if u see it cheap.
Highly recommend season three of Arrow on blu ray, I'll happily admit that season 3 wasn't as strong as the previous two seasons but it was still entertaining and enjoyable to watch. As with Flash blu ray it's a crisp 1080p transfer and the transfer really showcase the dark colours and tones in comparison to bright colours of The Flash season 1 transfer guess it's the reflection of different tones of both shows. Sound quality wise it's a DTS-HD mix if you have a home cinema set up this is were you get the full benefits of sounds with explosions, punches and metal swords clashing and of course the thumping sound track.
Extras wise there's more then enough to keep you happy with deleted scenes, commentary, gag reel and many more it also comes with a Digital HD Ultraviolet copy of the show following the four steps of the season 2 blu ray, the season 1 blu ray Ultraviolet wasn't HD.
It comes in a nice gloss slip cover with all 23 ep's across 4 Blu-ray Discs.
I highly recommend The Back To The Future Part 3 blu ray steel book, Universal have released all three films as steel books to mark the 30th Anniversary now there was a special boxset with the trilogy which came with a flux capacitor but UK version is missing a lot of stuff so if you want it important the US version.
The picture quality and sound quality is the same as previous version which I reviewed before where it's different is the steel book the front art had the classic poster with silver borders, there's art work on the back with Doc Brown and Marty, there's beautiful art work from the film even the art work on the disc is different. Also you get a Digital HD copy of the film which I never had before now I just need to wait for the other two films, this will go well with my tin collectors edition of the trilogy and I have the German versions of the films as steel books too. Only thing I would have liked to seen is a gloss finish will post the other films when they turn up as Back To The Future fan I had pick these up if you want them there on Zavvi.
Highly recommend picking up X-Men: First Class blu ray steel book this is the second version of the film to come out as steel book a couple years ago a triple play steel book came out but it quickly sold out abs now it's worth a lot of money. This new steel book was about £17.99 but now on Zavvi it's £9.99 I picked my copy up for £8.49 it's very striking steel book with ark work across the steel book. Reviewed this before as normal blu ray and it's the same disc, no digital copy with this steel book at £9.99 now and it's limited edition well worth picking up as a steel book if your a X-Men fan.
Jurassic World (Hmv exclusive steelbook) get 3 versions of the film (3D, 2D & an Ultraviolet copy of the film) & a good amount of extras in a very nice steelbook which has the Jurassic World logo on it and is painted to look like a dinosaur pen enclosure with dinosaur scratchmarks on it
As it's Back To The Future Day on Wednesday will have a review of other two films on steel book.
