@@therealshanelee u shud doh its got a buzz you have d best reviews on subs in my opinion I know u have reviewed their older subs b4 if u review it I think your gonna b impressed.
Shane i have been converting certain blu-rays to 4K HDR like Avatar. Been using Davinci Resolve on my Apple iMac achieving this. Looks like a bought 4K movie afterwards. Works 100%
He mentioned that he had to reevaluate the sound and brought it down to an 8. I felt there was enough bass but my setup has 4-12" woofers in my front left and right, 15" main woofer, 2-4" woofers in my centre channel, 4-4" woofers in my sides, 8-4" woofers in my rears, 2-4" woofers in my front height channels and 4-3" woofers in my rear height channels. So well more than enough woofers to get that bass.
@@HomeCinemaJunkie I would have to agree the atmos mix is definitely not as good as say aqua man or midway. But the score is really good and the sound design is good. It’s just not an aggressive mix like others on Shane’s top ten. I think 8/10 is a good score for it.
The biggest issue with Dune is that they didn't use the expanded aspect ratio. Such a missed opportunity... Maybe they'll release a "special edition" with the expanded shots... One can hope... As for audio. My humble 5.1 system handled it well. Finally moving into my own later this year and I'll put in some heights and will have to play a demo disc.
I don’t know what these studios are thinking releasing these IMAX films in 2.39:1. This movie would look so good if they used the proper aspect ratio. I think that they don’t like releasing films with variable aspect ratio because people complain, but these people don’t understand that they’re getting more picture. I only pay $10-$15 for 4K Blu-Rays, but I’d have no issue dropping $30 for an IMAX Enhanced version. I don’t need it for every film, but it would be great for Dune.
Dude, you need to add height channels for an Atmos setup-it’s like night and day. I remember being blown away by my first 5.1 setup in 2000, but Atmos is just another animal.
@@KonohasYeIlowFlash I'd love to setup Atmos, but I'm in a rental at the moment. Building my own house which should be finished later this year and will put heights in there. I think Dune might be the first Atmos movie I watch.
@@KonohasYeIlowFlash I know, I know, old video, but I can't avoid to comment. IMAX is a format intended for a screen that exceeds your biological field of view (I know y'all already know this, but it's key and it needs to be pointed out). Knowing that, it means most expanded shots in IMAX retain the same effect as a regular screen: this is especially true for mid, close-ups, details. That's because, again, while it makes for a better immersion, your field of view basically frames the image as intended. You can see where I'm going with this: on TV, an IMAX medium shot is much a larger shot, completely losing the intended effect... unless you of course sit close AF to the TV. This is true for basically every type of shot but master shots/establishing shots/environment/etc. It also heavily impacts viewing because composition can be iffy for these expanded shots (are some details are not meant to be looked at and you won't look at them when watching on an IMAX screen but you'll definitely will on a TV). While it's cool when discs sport IMAX shots, because indeed those shots really look cool, those shot mostly lose their intended effect. When Disney put IMAX versions of Marvel films on Disney+, some directors of those movies actually pointed out those versions were NOT intended for home viewing, and kinda softly protested this initiative. Nolan, on the other hand, reformats the IMAX shots into 16:9, but they are not true IMAX shots. Digital IMAX shots instead are 16:9, so while framing doesn't retain the effect, the composition won't be affected too much. So, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Villeneuve himself to have vetoed this release, because they would have a different effect anyways. And, generally speaking, you should look no further than Zack Snyder's Justice League, which has 100% true IMAX shots, to understand on TV has a completely different effect then it was intended.
Great list Shane. Been waiting for this. Dune is a great disc and a great film also. I totally agree about Ambulance. Its definitely a demo disc. I really enjoyed the film too. I do use a soundbar but its atmos with a sub and rear speakers so a bit of a halfway house but its still pretty good. I dont the setup for separates at the moment
Thanks for the list Shane/Nancy! I think TG Maverick had the best visual for me. Not seen as good/ clear picture on my LGOLED since The Revenant! All the best for 2023!!
What's crazy is that video sales are practically half today of what they used to be in 2019 and less than 15% of that is 4k UHD with Blurays still account for triple the sales over 4k UHDs. The death of 3d sealed it for me especially the fact that TVs no longer support it. Last time I was at the Barnes & Noble bookstore, they were downsizing their video section and selling all their movies. This is scary because some of the best movies are only offered on disc and sometimes can be pretty expensive to own.
@@brealll9647 yeah, TVs could easily support it especially higher end models, It needs more processing but high-end TVs should have that level of processing.
Watching 3D movies with VR headsets is nice. I rip them to my PC and then play them on my VR headset, though I'd recommend one with a high resolution so you can't see the pixels. I've got the first Oculus quest and the pixels are visible for me so I'd recommend to get one with a higher resolution screen than the Oculus Quest 1.
Shane, I don’t get the multiple subwoofers. I have $700-800 Hsu subwoofer. It rattles everything in the house. I even had the police called on me from a guy who was over a block away. Why would I need another one? If I were to get one, does it have to be the exact same sub that I have? If not, have any recommendations?
I'm a Michael Bay fan and love my share of action movies but man Ambulance drained me of action movies for the rest of the year. It was constant action left and right with no rest really in-between. It's a good movie tho but not one of the best Bay films out there. I'm still waiting for some to come on 4K to get them.
Here is my top 10 4K Blu-rays that didn't make it in this list. List will also be in alphabetical order: 1) Bullet Train 2) Death on the Nile 3) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse 4) Edge of Tomorrow 5) Everything Everywhere All at Once 6) Nightmare Alley 7) The Northman 8) The Untouchables 9) Three Thousand Years of Longing 10) West Side Story
@Steve Media Did you read my comment? I made a list of 10 4K movies that were not listed in Shane's video. It gives other people a chance to see some other awesome 4K UHD Blu-rays that deserve to be owned.
Shane, thanks for posting this video. Like many have already stated, I really enjoy your videos. You knew that you were going to cause a controversy by not putting Top Gun Maverick in your Top 10 for the year.
sometimes I get the feeling that old movies have better and more impactful (you get an effect where you expect it should be) surround soundtracks than new ones Maybe back then there was this love for movies, nowadays it's just bussiness. Of course there are movies with great sound but TGM was very dissappointing in audio.
I love the tech specs as much as the next guy, but I’d be damned before I watch and or add horrible movies to my collection just because they look/sound good. Most of the movies on this list (video/audio quality not withstanding) aren’t worth the time. I know you said the list isn’t based on the film, but I don’t know what the point is though. The actual movie is everything! Great video/audio is secondary to that.
Well, I might be inclined to pick up Ambulance, Resident Evil or The Batman... knowing now that these are reference discs. Otherwise, I had little to no interest in them.
my Top 4 (mostly in terms of picture/audio quality) are: 1) Matrix Resurrections...2) Ambulance...3) Top Gun: Maverick (I subtracted points because it wasn't filmed with 'real' 70mm IMAX cameras and instead they used 'fake' digital IMAX)...4) The Batman
I wish you would list out the titles in your description time stamps. I'd probably save this video and come back to it if it had that.. just a thought.
Yes kaleidoscope is meant for the more fluent crowd. But I think the real issue is why doesn't Netflix, HBO, Amazon, peacock, etc. do a better job to proliferate better quality streaming. Some stuff sounds very nice but there's still has a lot of stuff that doesn't have the higher quality streams. Most stuff is PCM that is forced through a five channel surround system. Thank God RUclips does a good job who is stereo for music concert videos. It would be really nice if someone discussed all this. I can read about it but it's difficult to find something well written that focuses on these issues very well. Are we advancing in streaming better quality audio?
Realky nice 4k summary. Only thing I wouldnt agree on is Resident Evil video. I would have given it a 6 due some really bad compression artifacts and noise. I have the Scandinavian version so it might be that we got screwed again... BTW, your wife has great taste! 😀
Shane thank you for your videos, out of curiosity how many speakers and subs do you have in your theater? You have a killer system with Trinnov, Kaleidescape, JVC 4K projector! The Batman was definitely not worth it compared to Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy in addition the actors in the new Batman sucked!
I'm new to 4k and I have realized that most RUclips reviewers manly or only focus on the technical aspects of a disk. I guess, I'm old school that way but I will probably never be able to follow that thought. If a film is bad, really bad, why would I want to "enjoy" this badness in the best possible quality? OK, if a movie is "good" or "bad" is (at least in part) a matter of taste. But there are some solid criteria that should rule out the real clunkers. Otherwise we accept cinematic faeces as masterful art as long as they are wrapped in a pretty package. To my eye (or gusto) this would amount to the same as eating a stinky fish wrapped into freshly backed white bread. But as the great Dalton put it: "Opinions vary." And stinky fish could be delicious. Ask the Swedish. 😉
What you want to seek out are movie review channels such as Jeremy Jahns and a hundred other ones on RUclips. This way you'll know if the movie is good or bad. My channel is home theater/ Audio Video technology based which would include movies and music used to show off said technology. The titles reviewed here are ones that will push your audio video system to hopefully its fullest technical potential. Just because a movie is heartfelt and enjoyable means nothing to its technical merit. Many people who have spent thousands or more on home theaters that want to hear all their speakers working or a ton of impressive visuals come to my channel to see if the film will be a showcase for their setup. People aren't coming here for my opinions on the story or enjoyment of a film. You could check out the review of a movie first then come and see if the Blu-ray is worthwhile here. This is a tech channel not a movie review channel. I'm am not a film critic.
All you serious... Top gun maverick not on this list... Nah... They better do this again.. Shane come on now..top gun maverick is by far the best 4k disc I seen this year
Top Gun 2 was ludicrous and not a good film but the visuals were amazing. And I thought the Matrix 4’s PQ/AQ was great and there were some fantastic beats to its story but the screenplay needed another pass through and the effects needed more prep time. To me it’s the 2nd best Matrix behind the first.
I have only just watched top gun maverick on New Year’s Eve I watched the first one before it both on 4k disc I thought the first one sounded better there was more activity in the individual speakers on the first one they could’ve made the second one a lot better
One of the only lists to (rightly) include the matrix near the top. I would’ve had top gun and the godfathers in there though for sure. I wasn’t that impressed with ambulance, or Dune. Maybe I just didn’t like the movies but they certainly weren’t as impressive as top gun or the matrix for me
The highest grossing movie of 2022 would've been Avatar 2 if it had been around for a few more days. Top Gun Maverick ended the year with 1.487 billion dollars whereas Avatar 2 ended the year with 1.37 billion worldwide, well on it's way to doing more than $2 billion.
Top Gun Maverick should be on the list. Not even in your top 10? Must have a different home theater. Thank you for the list. Never liked Dune, but would concede it is how it was intended. Keep up the good work.
I actually agree with what you spoke about for each movie..i was pretty disappointed with the atmos mix for maverick..I loved resident evil and ambulance was a huge surprise for me..the first shooting scene outside the bank was amazing..the bass sounding when they were shooting the guns were outstanding..
Although I understand why you left Top Gun: Maverick out of the Top 10 list because of its somewhat disappointing audio, I grade movies on not only the video & audio quality, but overall how good the movies are themselves as a whole. Which is why TG: Maverick, Dune, Ambulance and Elvis are my Top Picks. As for certain others however, it would Not have mattered how high Matrix Resurrection, Morbius or Resident Evil: Raccoon City had been on video and audio quality, there's no way I'd ever watch those immediately flushable turd films. I didn't watch them at the cinemas and you could never pay me enough to watch a hard copy or streaming version on video release. Not even if they had been perfect 10s for both video and audio. Well, you could pay me, but it would have to be in the high 5 figure range at least. Matrix Resurrection for instance wasn't much of a "Resurrection." More like DOA.
Was looking forward to this list. Gotta agree with the Maverick sound rating. Loved the film, but was expecting more. I have a very capable system and felt short changed on the Atmos side. Lower channels did not disappoint, but when going 11 channels or higher, I want it all. I had the good fortune of enjoying it in my home and at what "That Home Theater Dude" calls "The Lab" (An incredible experience). The height information was a letdown:(
I would like to have the films combined score from the actual story, actor performance, director and editing skills. Why spend your hard earned money on a movie if it actually sucks and will not give you, or the people you show it to, any enjoyment. If you like to show off a great picture and sound then you could run one of the many demos. If a movie score where 9 or 10 I would buy it regardless of quality, but if it got a 5 or 6 I would hesitate but would buy if it had above average technical qualities. The scale for giving points would be 1 for disaster and have bandings, bad colors and analog noise and 5 for average and 10 for the best that can be achieved with today's technology. A DVD's technical qualities would be judged against other DVD's and Blu-Rays among other Blu-Rays and 4k among other 4k's as they are in different price ranges and require different investments in hardware. I don't know how it's possible to say 9,7 or 9,8 when choosing between 6 or 7 would depend of my own personal mood for the day when I set the score. If the lowest possible score where 9 then I would understand the scoring system if that scale where used.
Editing, Acting skills, director, and story are all highly subjective. If the video looks excellent it looks excellent. If the audio is not active enough, I have a graph that shows exactly what it's doing. Those two are less subjective compared to me liking a movie and saying it's great. It's like saying Black Panther was worthy of an Oscar nomination for best picture. Really. That's why I don't add my opinion on anything but A/V.
Moonfall. Great sound. Good pq. Silly movie. Dont care. Glad i bought the bluray. Interesting that when this was made, Elon Musk was still loved as evidenced by one of the characters in the movie.
Kaleidoscope is a nice movie System but costs for movies are absurd so why not by the Blu-ray. Are they ever going to come up with a higher quality streaming service? HBO sucks, Netflix most often sucks, and on and on. Streaming is getting better more bandwidth yet streaming it's not getting better. I would pay more for better streaming. I don't like buying movies just wanna stream them higher quality uncompressed. Or buffer storage. Why can't they do this? Crazy so much bandwidth available these days
Movies are usually around $5 more on Kaleidescape at launch except for Warner Bros. They tend to price higher for some reason like $10 more. Some times they can be the same price as the BD at launch. If you wait a month or so you can normally get the movies on sale for $9.99 or less. That’s when I get mine. The BD’s take far longer to get that cheap. So saying prices are absurd for movies is totally false. The player itself however does cost quite a bit.
Apart from Batman, Dune and Elvis all other movies in top 10 list were trash. By trash I mean below average movies story wise. I wonder if that motivates studios to give a good bluray disc to improve home video sales i dont know.
I seen Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City in theaters I did like it but I like the other ones better since I love Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil movies and I sure do missed her in those movies too and the cgi in RE WTRC was so terrible and they couldn’t bring all of the monsters in the movie the tyrant mr X and Neptune Yawn plant 42 and many etc and Ada Wong is so waste in the reboot of RE and they should of just got with RE1 and make it based off of the first game being based off of 2 games was a huge mistake in my opinion and for me I give the movie a 6/10 stars but not as good as the original 6 Resident Evil movies in my opinions bro
Definitely would replace dune ,which I thought was total crap ,with top gun shame on you , but Ambulance , is just brilliant, im glad to see it was your top choice of 2022
morbius.. on any list is seriously classic.. I need a refund for the time of my life I wasted watching that movie. one of the worst movies I have ever seen ever.. soooo bad..

Resident Evil Racoon City was a great movie and the Atmos effects blew me away with the music swirling around on the height channels.
Sonic 2 was sick as well this year
Ambulance was definitely one of the cleanest and sharp 4K picture quality I've seen. Only Gemini Man beats it in PQ. The drone shots looked so good
Love this list. Gonna take a look at Resident Evil.
Con Air is Simon West movie.
I realized I had already purchased 8 out of 10 of these movies based on your recommendation. I didnt get Elvis or morbius
Shane thank you for your videos, out of curiosity how many speakers and subs do you have in your theater? You have a killer system with Trinnov, Kaleidescape, JVC 4K projector!
The Batman was definitely not worth it compared to Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy in addition the actors in the new Batman sucked!
It's just your opinion about Batman, for me are both great
I thought GhostBusters was great. It looks and sounds fantastic on my 7.2.4 theater!
I'm new to 4k and I have realized that most RUclips reviewers manly or only focus on the technical aspects of a disk. I guess, I'm old school that way but I will probably never be able to follow that thought. If a film is bad, really bad, why would I want to "enjoy" this badness in the best possible quality? OK, if a movie is "good" or "bad" is (at least in part) a matter of taste. But there are some solid criteria that should rule out the real clunkers. Otherwise we accept cinematic faeces as masterful art as long as they are wrapped in a pretty package. To my eye (or gusto) this would amount to the same as eating a stinky fish wrapped into freshly backed white bread. But as the great Dalton put it: "Opinions vary." And stinky fish could be delicious. Ask the Swedish. 😉
What you want to seek out are movie review channels such as Jeremy Jahns and a hundred other ones on RUclips. This way you'll know if the movie is good or bad. My channel is home theater/ Audio Video technology based which would include movies and music used to show off said technology. The titles reviewed here are ones that will push your audio video system to hopefully its fullest technical potential. Just because a movie is heartfelt and enjoyable means nothing to its technical merit. Many people who have spent thousands or more on home theaters that want to hear all their speakers working or a ton of impressive visuals come to my channel to see if the film will be a showcase for their setup. People aren't coming here for my opinions on the story or enjoyment of a film. You could check out the review of a movie first then come and see if the Blu-ray is worthwhile here. This is a tech channel not a movie review channel. I'm am not a film critic.
All you serious... Top gun maverick not on this list... Nah... They better do this again.. Shane come on now..top gun maverick is by far the best 4k disc I seen this year
It might be the best you've seen this year but it sure isn't the best you've heard.
Warner and Sony dominating
Dune sounds great on my sound bar
I agree, the Atmos in Maverick was nothing special and could have been mind-blowing.
Dune
Ambulance
Doctor strange 2
Jurassic world dominion
Top gun maverick
The Batman
Everything everywhere all at once
The Northman
Morbius
Uncharted
PQ on Jurassic park is awful. Too soft and grainy. Only the underground tunnel scenes looked good
@@mrbobo86 ya but the dts x rocked the motorcycle chase scene was great and when Clare was in the water was fantastic.
Top Gun 2 was ludicrous and not a good film but the visuals were amazing. And I thought the Matrix 4’s PQ/AQ was great and there were some fantastic beats to its story but the screenplay needed another pass through and the effects needed more prep time. To me it’s the 2nd best Matrix behind the first.
Interesting to see different opinions like this lol. Top Gun Maverick is a universally praised movie and amazing. Matrix 4 is a universally meh movie.
Interesting list! I need to check out the Resident Evil movie :)
You may not like it especially it got bad reviews on it too
Th best part of the movie was the Atmos soundtrack
It wasn't great but it was a step closer to the games. Ten more and they might get it right 👍
I have only just watched top gun maverick on New Year’s Eve I watched the first one before it both on 4k disc I thought the first one sounded better there was more activity in the individual speakers on the first one they could’ve made the second one a lot better
You could not get moonfall on 4K HDR disk in the U.K. just the blu ray not even on streaming
Just had to say Nancy’s correct Matrix 4 is great! No hate, love your videos man! 😊
One of the only lists to (rightly) include the matrix near the top. I would’ve had top gun and the godfathers in there though for sure. I wasn’t that impressed with ambulance, or Dune. Maybe I just didn’t like the movies but they certainly weren’t as impressive as top gun or the matrix for me
The highest grossing movie of 2022 would've been Avatar 2 if it had been around for a few more days. Top Gun Maverick ended the year with 1.487 billion dollars whereas Avatar 2 ended the year with 1.37 billion worldwide, well on it's way to doing more than $2 billion.
Avatar will be the highest of 2022 since it was released last year.
@@therealshanelee You're right. 👍
Surprised Top Gun Maverick is not even on the list.
Sucks that so many bad/mediocre movies are the best for video and sound
Right almost the whole list is unwatchable.
@@joeydirt420 yep. I almost walked out of Moonfall at the theater. I knew it wouldn't be great, but that was hot garbage
Thought i was subscribed to this channel. Good thing to check em folks. Recoomendations stopped, and bam i was no longer subscribed.
at 35 second mark Mr. Lee tells me to go elsewhere, I shall oblige his request
The message was exactly for you. Cya! 😘
🌹
Top Gun Maverick should be on the list. Not even in your top 10? Must have a different home theater. Thank you for the list. Never liked Dune, but would concede it is how it was intended. Keep up the good work.
Shane, all of the DTS: X fans might come after you for not including the "better" format on this list! 🤣
I think my favorite disc from 2022 is Dune.
TENET still is the best UHD in terms of crispy super sharp image
Ambulance is sharper and cleaner.....and you can actually hear the dialogue
@@mrbobo86 Can't tell cause don't have the UHD BR yes very sharp
I actually agree with what you spoke about for each movie..i was pretty disappointed with the atmos mix for maverick..I loved resident evil and ambulance was a huge surprise for me..the first shooting scene outside the bank was amazing..the bass sounding when they were shooting the guns were outstanding..
🍻
The Matrix new what it was doing by making sure the Av was amazing, because its the only reason you would ever want it, lol
Nancy was amazing as co-host ♥️♥️🔥🔥
I thought it was hilarious to mention how bad the Matrix was directly after reviewing Morbius 🤣
Wow top gun didnt make the list. Sounded so darn good in my setup. Audio System is capable. My tv is not top tier. Hey potato pototo
Although I understand why you left Top Gun: Maverick out of the Top 10 list because of its somewhat disappointing audio, I grade movies on not only the video & audio quality, but overall how good the movies are themselves as a whole. Which is why TG: Maverick, Dune, Ambulance and Elvis are my Top Picks.
As for certain others however, it would Not have mattered how high Matrix Resurrection, Morbius or Resident Evil: Raccoon City had been on video and audio quality, there's no way I'd ever watch those immediately flushable turd films. I didn't watch them at the cinemas and you could never pay me enough to watch a hard copy or streaming version on video release. Not even if they had been perfect 10s for both video and audio. Well, you could pay me, but it would have to be in the high 5 figure range at least. Matrix Resurrection for instance wasn't much of a "Resurrection." More like DOA.
Was looking forward to this list. Gotta agree with the Maverick sound rating. Loved the film, but was expecting more. I have a very capable system and felt short changed on the Atmos side. Lower channels did not disappoint, but when going 11 channels or higher, I want it all. I had the good fortune of enjoying it in my home and at what "That Home Theater Dude" calls "The Lab" (An incredible experience). The height information was a letdown:(
No introduction for the lady??
It’s in the unedited version.
I would like to have the films combined score from the actual story, actor performance, director and editing skills. Why spend your hard earned money on a movie if it actually sucks and will not give you, or the people you show it to, any enjoyment. If you like to show off a great picture and sound then you could run one of the many demos.
If a movie score where 9 or 10 I would buy it regardless of quality, but if it got a 5 or 6 I would hesitate but would buy if it had above average technical qualities. The scale for giving points would be 1 for disaster and have bandings, bad colors and analog noise and 5 for average and 10 for the best that can be achieved with today's technology. A DVD's technical qualities would be judged against other DVD's and Blu-Rays among other Blu-Rays and 4k among other 4k's as they are in different price ranges and require different investments in hardware. I don't know how it's possible to say 9,7 or 9,8 when choosing between 6 or 7 would depend of my own personal mood for the day when I set the score. If the lowest possible score where 9 then I would understand the scoring system if that scale where used.
Editing, Acting skills, director, and story are all highly subjective. If the video looks excellent it looks excellent. If the audio is not active enough, I have a graph that shows exactly what it's doing. Those two are less subjective compared to me liking a movie and saying it's great. It's like saying Black Panther was worthy of an Oscar nomination for best picture. Really. That's why I don't add my opinion on anything but A/V.
Moonfall. Great sound. Good pq. Silly movie. Dont care. Glad i bought the bluray. Interesting that when this was made, Elon Musk was still loved as evidenced by one of the characters in the movie.
Kaleidoscope is a nice movie System but costs for movies are absurd so why not by the Blu-ray. Are they ever going to come up with a higher quality streaming service? HBO sucks, Netflix most often sucks, and on and on. Streaming is getting better more bandwidth yet streaming it's not getting better. I would pay more for better streaming. I don't like buying movies just wanna stream them higher quality uncompressed. Or buffer storage. Why can't they do this? Crazy so much bandwidth available these days
Movies are usually around $5 more on Kaleidescape at launch except for Warner Bros. They tend to price higher for some reason like $10 more. Some times they can be the same price as the BD at launch. If you wait a month or so you can normally get the movies on sale for $9.99 or less. That’s when I get mine. The BD’s take far longer to get that cheap. So saying prices are absurd for movies is totally false. The player itself however does cost quite a bit.
Why are the best 4k blu rays some of the worst movies. Thats unfortunate.
So the worst films of 2022 had the best transfers
Another Michael Bay top AV quality movie.
Apart from Batman, Dune and Elvis all other movies in top 10 list were trash. By trash I mean below average movies story wise. I wonder if that motivates studios to give a good bluray disc to improve home video sales i dont know.
is Nancy your wife?...what ethnicity is she?
I seen Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City in theaters I did like it but I like the other ones better since I love Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil movies and I sure do missed her in those movies too and the cgi in RE WTRC was so terrible and they couldn’t bring all of the monsters in the movie the tyrant mr X and Neptune Yawn plant 42 and many etc and Ada Wong is so waste in the reboot of RE and they should of just got with RE1 and make it based off of the first game being based off of 2 games was a huge mistake in my opinion and for me I give the movie a 6/10 stars but not as good as the original 6 Resident Evil movies in my opinions bro
Is the woman with you, your wife?
Definitely would replace dune ,which I thought was total crap ,with top gun shame on you , but Ambulance , is just brilliant, im glad to see it was your top choice of 2022
Afterlife is great. Frozen empire is the weaker one.
Opinions are like assholes in that everyone has one but come on son not even in the top 10 for topgun maverick...... Surprised
I gave the reason why. If you are easily impressed I suppose that's a lovely thing for you.
I got really bored with the Batman and couldn’t bare any more I turned it off after 35 minutes.
morbius.. on any list is seriously classic.. I need a refund for the time of my life I wasted watching that movie. one of the worst movies I have ever seen ever.. soooo bad..
There are so many garbage movies on this list, truly a waste of a 4K disc
Man she gotta speak up. Can barely hear wtf she’s saying
