Yes they are all available separately and yes First Contact is far and away the best of those four isn’t it.

Thanks for the link. Hopefully it will make it to Oz soon, as 4k movies seem to be much cheaper here, although so many movies released in US never seem to make it here - GRR!
I completely agree about First Contact being far and away the best of those four.

I’m in Oz and I tend to get from US because at least they include the second remastered bluray with the special features.

A couple of weird ones:

Glass Onion is getting a directors commentary on Netflix, but no physical disc.

And Disney are releasing a 4K box set of the Pirates films in the UK.

The Perfect Weapon 1991

Fights were brutal for the time and the end “Bond” villain death is still satisfying!

Question for Khev, as he’s in the know in this department - but I’m looking for a good sound bar.

Yes, I know, true surround is the way to go. However, that is not an option.

hoping to find a bar with great sound (obviously) and maybe a sub if possible.

I know my way around audio and video but have never really dove into the sound bar market. Any help is appreciated.

Free standing subs very necessary.

I'm a pipsqueak when it comes to home a/v knowledge compared to jye so definitely listen to him.

I've still got a Samsung soundbar that I picked up in 2014 that I'm happy with but I'm sure it's nothing compared to what's available today.

I might have meant Jye.

As nice as this top sound bar sounds, pretty sure the boss isn’t letting me have this type of allowance.

What else we got?

The CEO of the 4K consortium has stated that there are no plans for 8K physical media 4K is the end of physical media!

I couldn't help but notice that with Superman 2 on 4k, rather than give us both in one set, they're releasing the theatrical version and the Richard Donner cut separately (GRR!):

The box set has only been announced for certain regions like US UK. Not Australia yet but hopefully.

Even on bluray the two versions were kept separate.

A couple of further points about the Superman box set from Digital Bits:

Superman: The Movie 4K utilizes the same video master as the 2018 UHD but now includes the original theatrial audio mix (Comment: We believe this is in DTS-HD MA format now, where as the 2018 4K offered it in 48/24 Dolby Digital. –BH). 2)
Superman: The Movie includes Dolby Vision HDR while the sequels include only HDR10. All have Dolby Atmos.
No single-film 4K SKUs are currently planned in the US.

Bluray.com calling the Rocky box set a lazy money grab release.

Bluray.com calling the Rocky box set a lazy money grab release.

Sounds about right. It’s stupid they won’t just release the Rocky 4 directors cut on its own for those of us that haven’t seen it.
