Thanks mi Amigo, I was not sure if it would be region locked or not. Currently stuck in Rochester New York according to DHL!
It's a thing of beauty with a slipcover over it with different artwork as well.
Bought 4K Dragonslayer and watched it. Damn the cinematography in that movie is gorgeous. And the visuals definitely looked better in a number of areas, whether due to being recomposited or tweaked more substantially I can't say. @JAWS I instantly noticed the DNR in the final battle, I'm guessing it was added as a sort of blend to the many overlapping opticals. I'm glad it was for just that one sequence.
Dragonfire, nudity, gore. Disney gave us GOT waaay before HBO, lol.
I also bought the new 4K Star Trek The Motion Picture Director's Edition and watched it for the first time in any form in absolutely *ages* and WOW what an experience that was. I don't know if it was because the movie was really improved with the director's tweaks, or if it just stands the test of time on its own or if it was due to seeing it so shortly after eye-rolling Mandalorian derpery but it was truly sublime.
I would dare say that it was even Kubrickian in its magnificence. I'm not familiar enough with the movie to notice what new visuals were added (which is a HUGE credit to how seamless the updated visuals obviously were) but I will say that everything looked spectacular. The picture quality, visuals, overall tone, I know that it has long been maligned as being slow and boring but I just loved every minute of it. So much so that I immediately went out and bought the new 4K discs of STII and VI and very much look forward to giving both a spin.

Yup, have developed a whole new appreciation of TMP in my geezerdom. True SF as opposed to the space opera that followed (which I still love but for different reasons).
Same here. I used to say that bad Star Wars is still better than good Star Trek but I don't think that anymore.

Gotta love the interplay between Trek's "big three" (and wider crew):
For decades TMP was unfairly judged. It's a true Science Fiction movie, more in line with the good Science Fiction episodes of Trek, then the action Sci Fi that people were beginning to expect thanks to Star Wars.
That ST TMP ever got made was a miracle, and reading about the behind-the-scenes drama is eye opening and entertaining. It really deserved the Director's Cut it eventually got. Which IMO is the only way to watch the movie now. IT really needs a in depth behind the scenes making of, or a dramatic TV series like The Godfather got.
I'm a big Trek fan so I'm biased. But I love all the TOS movies for various reasons, even STV for being as bad as it is, it has some truly great character moments that make it worth watching. The I need my pain" scene in particular really defines Kirk, and IMO us humans. STV is another one that that has troubled making of story that is interesting to read about.

The original is the best but I enjoy Next Generation too. Kirk and crew will always be my favorite though.Nothing beats original cast for ST

There was a discussion here recently about the Superman 4K box set (and the audio issues) so I thought some might be interested in this podcast with three of the main guys who worked on the first Superman DVD special edition waaaay back in the day (and have worked on subsequent versions but this is mainly about the first one). Really interesting and some great stories. They are going to do another one for Superman 2.
So what's the verdict on the quality of this set? Are they fixing the reported issues?
I *finally* revisited Rocky V for the first time since it came out over 30 freaking years ago. I remember being so disappointed with it that I never bothered watching it again. And while it might still be the weakest of series when compared to the others holy crap it's a freaking masterpiece compared to so much of what passes for entertainment today. I'd give it a solid 7 or 7.5 out of 10. Not an embarrassment at all.

The flashback scene with Mickey is absolute gold. The rest of the movie is forgettable and unnecessary.
Watching order should be 1-4, just the Mickey scene, Rocky Balboa, Creed 1-3. Creed 3 is optional.
"Get up you son of a *****, cause Mickey loves ya!"

Paramount not Disney right? Loved everything else!
It was a joint production between Paramount and Disney.

Wish that Disney could still produce good content then. Unfortunately way more misses than hits now.

Disney were going through a dark period at the time (in more ways than one). I mean there were a ton of kids films but there were films like Watcher In The Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes as well. They were having big failures and just throwing darts on the wall to see what would work. The Black Cauldron is another.

Some 4K dates:
Battlestar Galactica 78 movie out 11th July (I saw this in the cinema, from memory it’s the first episode, which was feature length)
Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm out 12th Sept
The Exorcist (which includes both versions) out 19th Sept
Kill Bill Vol 1 20th Anniversary (out later this year, no date yet, and will be followed next year by Kill Bill Vol 2 and Jackie Brown). Still no sign of The Whole Bloody Affair.
