We saw Lee trying to upload her photos of the protests at the beginning of the film, but the power outage in her hotel interrupted the upload. She said she'd try again later, but we don't know whether she was able to successfully do so (or not). We don't see her much after her failed attempt...
Saw it in IMAX today.
Amazing. Horrifying. Engrossing. Sickening. Beautiful. Shocking. Majestic. Scary.
(I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the Apple Cinema where I saw it started the wrong movie. At first I thought it was another trailer, but they started showing the anime film Spy x...
By the by, DMC has apparently started shipping these. At least, a package from Menasha, WI has shown up in my Informed Delivery, so I should be getting The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Moon Knight within (hopefully) the next week. I was expecting this, as they charged my card for them last...
Bigger than most toy/game IPs have been, but not on the level of the Marvel/DC comics IPs, or even Transformers.
Outside of the four big screen entries (the last of which was released five years ago), the LEGO franchise has mostly rested on direct-to-video and TV productions. There are...
The last time they were released on home video in the US was on DVD from "The Miriam Collection" in 2008. That label was owned by the Weinstein Company. It's likely that they are caught up in whatever legal purgatory the Weinstein Company is in.
I'm not so sure. As previously noted, the Transformers franchise was the only one that succeeded on a superhero film level.
Also, game/toy-based movies never really went away. LEGO, Mario Brothers, Sonic, Trolls, Mortal Kombat, G.I. Joe, et alia, ad nauseum have been regular big screen fodder...
Here's something worth noting that's tangential to Star Trek:

Trying to define what science fiction (or, really, any genre) is or isn't is a mug's game. It's one of those things that no matter how you approach it, it doesn't end well. Damon Knight, who was a notable SF writer, editor, and historian, is usually attributed for the quote defining science...
That depends on how you define what is or isn't "political".
Caveat: I haven't seen the film yet.
That said, I've been rather struck by some reviews that take Garland to task as, basically, a "coward" (one review I read actually used that word) for not being willing to delve into the causes of...
Sure, and we've seen enough instances of people deciding to wait for reviews to see if a 4K release would be worth upgrading for.
Of course, another problem with Ronald's question is the whole "Day One" thing. I suspect that very few people who say, "Day One purchase!" are simply expressing...
Exactly that: you didn't ask the question in a way that would get you the response you wanted. I'm not sure you really thought through just what it was you were asking.
The thing is, I presented a list of 13 specific (let's ignore the "anything by" bits) movies that I'd be willing to spend $50...
Too many to list. And it's hard to say without knowing whether the quality of the elements available make a 4K release worth it. The following would be at the top of my list, chosen mostly for the cinematography and outstanding use of color (which HDR could help enormously with):
Barry Lyndon...
Coming later this year...

I watched the first four episodes a week and a half ago, and finally finished the rest the other night. I think my reaction lines a lot like Dave's a couple of posts up. I liked (but didn't love) this show, and I feel that a rewatch might help make sense of it, but I have too many other things...
So, last night I watched the extended versions of both Aliens and The Abyss. I had seen the current presentation of The Abyss Special Edition theatrically in December, and loved it then, so I expected to like it on the UHD. And I did, except for a couple of glitches.
At around 1:35 into the...
As far as I know, Paramount's distribution rights to Miramax titles don't go beyond the US (or North America). And, as I said before, it's not clear if Paramount's license re: Miramax allows them to sub-license anything to another label. So far, there aren't any such existing deals.
And there's...
