Another Warners rip off.

I have bought several WB sets over the years i.e. Pro Football & other movie collections and was disappointed.
 I was really excited when I learned of this set coming out. But after scanning the reviews(which I do on any product) I agree with the the one star reviews. Please pass the word around the world & black list this set. Just Sayin.

Again a good movie has been issued on a lousy dvd.  Not only is the picture quality less than many vhs tapes, but they falsely advertise a full-length commentary by Kathleen Quinlan, the star, which is non-existant.  There is an interview with her, separate from the film.  This is a movie which deserves better, and this is just the rotten, greedy kind of job which is going to ruin the dvd industry eventually.  How the morons who take part in this sort of product can live with themselves is above and beyond me.

Bought this for the Sunday Ticket package. So far in 3 weeks of NFL football the DirectTV.com site has either been crashed or the code that game with the game does not work. Complete and utter rip off and a classic bait and switch.

The movie is ok.  The first two in the series were great, but this one isn't as good.  My one star rating is not about the movie, it is about the product, which is the DVD/BlueRay/UltraViolet combo pack.  On the packaging it says you can download this to your PC and devices.  that is a whopper of a lie.  You can not download a file to your computer and you can not transfer it to your devices.  What you can do is install the flixster app on your device and watch it through the flixster app.  You can stream it through the app or you can download it on the app so that you can watch it even if your device has no internet connection.  However, you still must open the flixster app, which crashes a lot and also the sound is really bad when I watch a movie through flixster, but not when I watch amazon or itunes purchased movies. Hmmmm.  Even if you purchase a movie on flixxster it costs more than on other sites and you aren't even getting a real digital copy.  I will never buy another Ultraviolet combo pack ever again.  Like I said, my rating is about the movie but of the product itself, so if some of you want to bash me for not rating the movie then grow up... Rating are supposed to be about the product and that is exactly what I am doing here.

With that said, I wish I had purchased this from Amazon because they have great customer service and I'm sure they would allow me to return it.  However, I didn't.  What I should have done, and what I have learned for next time, is to buy the DVD/BlueRay combo pack and purchase the digital copy on Amazon or elsewhere (NOT on flixster though or the US site) and I would have paid about the same price.

Bugs Bunny and Friends is not a pointless reissue, and it is not disguised as a new release, as a previous reviewer has stated.  What is  wrong with issuing a DVD with just Bugs Bunny cartoons?  Does Warner Brothers have a plot to mislead or fool cartoon fans?  Huh?  I don't think so!  I wonder if the previous reviewer ever considered that there are Bugs Bunny fans out there who don't want to have to purchase an expensive DVD collection (loaded with cartoons of the other WB characters) just to obtain the Bugs cartoons.  Warner Brothers isn't trying to fool anyone.  What they are attempting to do is offer the consumer (who wants a DVD with only Bugs cartoons) less expensive options.

I won't get into the movie here - this review is strictly about the digital copy in that it's not like every other digital copy where you either have a disk with an activation code or a download code for iTunes.  Warner Bros. has decided to go with Flixster - so now you have to download a separate application for your PC, phone and Tablet if you want to watch the digital copy.  If you have an Apple TV - you're completely out of luck being able to watch this on your TV.  This is the last Warner Bros. movie I will buy - period.

Without the extended versions for all the films, actual digital copies, and a better quality case it isn't worth the price.  Just one more way for WB to try and goad more money out of fans.

This was released on Laser Disc with a run time of 91 minutes. Another example of putting out sub-standard content to make a buck. Welcome to the 21st Century! Of course if you don't have an LD Player your only & best bet. The other release of this material under the name of 'Classic Rock Legends' is even worse with no attemtpt to provide a clean video or sound track.

This non-sense is getting old.  Meter it out to the public in bite-size form to extend the profits.  When will we learn this tactic on this set of movies.  And Digital copies are a sham, I've never had one work for me.  I'm avoiding them in the future.  Enjoy, just know your being taken advantage of....again.

We ordered this movie in HD format, but it was Std. Def.  It came in over our ROKU box which clearly tells the viewer if it is HD or SD.  It was NOT HD, but Amazon charged us the higher price nonetheless.  We had to stop/restart 2 times at at no point did the ROKU box ever indicate it was an HD movie.  Plus, it was clearly SD.
I should have known better, as HD was not available in 1983 on movies like this one.  SO THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY IS AMAZON SELLING AN HD VERSION OF THIS MOVIE WHEN IT IS NOT HD?  THAT's FRAUD and a RIPOFF.  NOT LIKE AMAZON TO DO THIS.

As for the movie itself, it was ponderingly slow, lacked any special effects, and was depressing with no real climax.  Like "On the Beach" without the beach.  "The Day After" is a similar film but is much better by far.  I had not seen this, but now know I wasn't missing anything.

Who are these people to monopolize our entertainment? Seriously! Madden makes me wanna puke everytime I hear his name. Sittin back on his couch counting his profits from his propaganda that he shoves down our throat every year. Why would anyone buy this crap? Doesn't anybody care that as long as they keep buying his games brand new, there will never be any other NFL football title out there? But instead, you morons keep on buying this crap every year just to see if the dude really cared about putting out something other than a b**ch a** excuse for a football game. This dude is greedy as h*ll. He don't care about what anybody likes. He don't want to give us anything we would actually get enjoyment out of. That would cost him too much. It's all about control. The only way EA will ever make a good Madden game is if their precious little monopoly becomes threatened, and they're forced too. But then we will see them actually try harder than they ever have before, and I bet you anything they will fail hardcore. Get these imposters away from our entertainment! Spread the word and get it out there somehow, AND DO NOT BUY HIS NEXT GAME NEW. F*** THAT GREEDY ************.

Its a shame that Warner Brothers dismissed this excellent film, probably the best they released in the '80's, with a shoddy transfer and no extras. The DVD menu does not even have a graphic from the film but instead their obnoxious WB gold logo. At least a trailer would be nice. I'm not asking for a 7 disc Criterion Collection edition with 40 hours of supplemental footage or anything. They did this with Driving Miss Daisy" also. No widescreen either. Nonetheless, the DVD does exist. Hopefully, Warner will do a better job with After Hours when they get around to transfering that.

This movie is good, but not great, as has been covered by a million other reviewers.

The purpose of my review is to point out that yet again, Warner Bros. is posting blatant lies on their packaging, claiming that you will get a digital copy and that you can "Watch It Anywhere" (their words).

The thing is, you can't.  It won't work in iTunes or Windows Media Player--you must download their third-party application ("Flixster").  You also cannot even download the movie (FAQ response on their site:  "Unfortunately, Movies All Access does not currently offer the ability to download your films.").  Therefore, to watch a digital copy, you have to install unnecessary software, agree to their terms, and then waste your bandwidth streaming the movie because you cannot download it.

What is the point?

Too bad that this is made by Warner, they always cut the top of the movie off to make it look widescreen. I have compared many of their movies to the VHS version and I see the top of the heads. Wow, how can they be so cheap as to say it is Aspect Ratio: 2.40:1 Even Harry Potter films show the differences and they are new pictures. Directors and actors should enforce Warner to stop the poor film manipulation of their movies when they release widescreen versions. If you don't take my word for it, then start investigating for yourself. If it isn't wide-screen, then leave it that way.

That said: the movie is one of the best Sci-Fi pictures ever. I also like Rutger telling the images that we would never see in space. That could have been extended.  At least it is a Ridley Scott film.  They should make "Doom Omega" into DVD

Remember, wide-screen did not start until 1954

First off, this product is something someone made at their house. They burned a copy of the flick, slapped on a cheap-jack label, and made the cover on their printer. That in itself wouldn't matter to me if the movie was in pristine shape and looked sharp. Here's the thing, I tried to play the disk in 3 different NTSC DVD players and none of them will read it. My HD DVD player gave me the error that the disk wasn't in DVD format. Nice hu? And it's only $15. Ummm No thanks

I'm not sure what they are doing when they slap together the entries for the Warner Archives Collection, but it is insulting to pay a premium price for something that I can watch on TCM and discover that the quality isn't any better.
The print is old and dirty. There are no chapters. You can only move scenes in 10 minute increments. The sound quality is mediocre. For what it's worth, I might just as well DVR this movie straight off TCM and save myself money.
All of this is a shame because NORA PRENTISS is one really good film. Ann Sheridan does what she does best.....sizzle intelligently and convincingly. Kent Smith delivers a great performance as a doctor making some ill-advised and life altering changes that lead him down a path to ultimate disaster. This film noir offering deserves a new audience, but not looking like someone had left it in a dust collecting cannister slowly rotting.

It seems like I've been waiting forever for the other seasons. If it is true that they're being held up because Warner's doesn't want to pay royalties for the background music; we may never see them. I'm seventy years old & will probably be dead & buried before they come out. It's all above greed. Thanks for nothing Warners.
