I can’t believe “Wicked” has such high ratings. For all we know, it might even win some Oscars.

I guess it’s just not our cup of tea.

Your cup? runneth over. "For a few dollars more" Hire your loser sister-in-law tax write-off.lolol

My little lady has seen the play and she said it is significantly changed. This is clearly in order to stretch it into 2 films, which was completely for one purpose: to squeeze money out of consumers. I actually though Ariana Grande's non-singing performance was pretty entertaining, but the film is not about her character, which this first film could very easily make you think. It missed the mark big time.

Haven't watched this, first time hearing of this movie. From reading the few comments I'll take a pass on this one. Seems like typical money squeeze.

Putting a bimbo Pop-Tart in naa. CGI, lack of and then Broadway redo on film. What's next coming for the Big Screen? Oh that's right, streaming about crushed Big Cinema screen theater goers. Theater owner/investors can't get out fast enough, money gone!

Killer, thriller. Lol

Lots of nominations, but almost no wins at the Golden Globes. The one thing it did win was some new made up category that seemed to be for "big" movies that basically did well in the box office.

I saw that as well. What a stupid category. To me, that award seems to go to the movie that overperformed at the box office, that wasn't supposed to. "oh look, Wicked actually made money at the box office. Let's give them an award!"

Se7en 4k Disc

PQ- Wow, just wow. The 4k remaster of this movie is excellent. I think the opening shot had the most grain on it, but from there, it was just a very light level all throughout. It almost looked like this movie was shot recently. Don't go into it looking for beautiful DV/HDR levels of color. The movie is very dark. I'm guessing everyone on this thread has seen Seven, so you know what the picture looks like. I had heard they scanned the movie at 8k, then took it down to 4k. The work on this transfer was well done. Definitely worth the wait.

SQ- Nothing to write home about. They did a lossless 5.1 mix. I guess the blu ray had a 7.1 mix. So they downscaled it. Personally, it doesn't bother me one way or the other. This is a big talking movie with almost no "action" scenes. So you don't need a full Atmos type sound mix for this one. Why they decided on the downmix? I have no idea. Most everything is front loaded anyways. At the very end is probably the only time I heard something significant hit the back channels. It was the helicopter flying away. Besides that, there is nothing significant going on in the back channels.

Overall- Seven is one of my all time favorites. It's a perfect 10/10 movie. Fincher is one of my favorite directors. The combination of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as two detectives and getting Kevin Spacey to play John Doe, we just brilliant. I would put Seven as one of the greatest crime thrillers of all time. If you are a fan of this movie, you need to own this 4k.

I had the DTS Se7en disc and the audio was very good. It was in the batch of DVD/BDs that were stolen years back, so I will likely pick this one up.

*Edit - I received an Amazon gift card from some volunteer work this weekend so I ordered it.

I saw a little of the 4K remastered "Se7en 1995" and it does look very good. IMDb rating of 8.6/10, so among the best movies.
