Some decent deals on some that haven't seen many if any sale prices. I only wish more of the Blu-rays had digital codes included.

Thanks OP for reminding about the rewards code, I already had enough points to redeem that. The newsletter discount / first order 10% discount does not work on these titles because sale prices are excluded.

Anything animated or CGI heavy on this list is guaranteed to have been mastered at 2k/1080p and digitally upscaled to 4k. They won't look much better than the standard blu rays.

Apollo 13, Big Lebowski, and Casino are shot on film, so they probably got a real 4k rescan/remaster for the 4k releases. This deal is worth it if you're interested in any of those.

The only time 4k is noticeable to me is when a film was originally shot on film or actually shot and mastered digitally in 4k

What are you viewing on? If you can't tell the difference between 4K and Blu most of the time something is wrong.

I got the extreme nature collection from the target sale. Going to return it. I hear it's just climate change propaganda and not very good.

Sorry but what a movie was shot in doesn't determine the quality, how well the transfer of the movie does much more.

A "real" 4k movie with a bad transfer will not be a good as a "fake" 4K with a good transfer.

If you can't tell a difference between BD disc vs 4K disc something is wrong, there is a difference.
How well the transfer is will determine how big of a difference.

How is this a slickdeal? 11/movie for 4k is not that slick

Yes it is, especially lately. Harder and harder to get good deals on physical media. And many of the 4K movies in this sale haven't been this low before.

I got Lebowski on 4k from Amazon on one of their 4k 3 for 2 sales, it's def better than the DVD I had but I wouldn't be expecting a great 4k picture.

Good sale and repped, but I dispute the notion that it's easy to get 500 points on the Universal Rewards sight. Some actions worth any amount of points take a healthy amount of time to get through, and I'm struggling at 350-400 pts to find anything I can still do. Don't waste your time, just spend the $3 shipping.
