I bought it because I had a voucher otherwise I would not have bought it but I like it. At least from a slipcover point of view. If all the future 4K releases got that sort of release I can see them looking great as a set.

And yes, I will be watching the 'Theatrical' cut as they are now terming it over the US cut going forward.

And more expensive.

Of course and if one wants a bare-bones release of each Kubrick 4K to place in a previous steelbook, box-set then great or just wants the 4K case alone, go for the cheapest option.

But that it is more expensive has no relevance if one sees value in its content. I am pleasantly surprised by the content of this little slip. Yes it probably all will sit in the slip and hardly ever come out but its nice tat.

I received my copy of the UK 40th Anniversary set. As you've all already deduced, it's pretty nice but hardly anything special if you already own the regular edition.

I really like the fact that both cuts are in one set.

Is anyone else experiencing playback issues? My player initially wouldn’t recognize the disc and after I wiped it off it is skipping all throughout the 48 minute mark. Bought brand new..

My disc played fine until around 1h 37min into the film and started skipping afterwards.

My UK 40th anniversary set arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised that it's in a sturdy outer box.

The rating logos are also peelable.

What's the booklet it looks like it comes with?

Only 1 left of the limited edition at Amazon.co.uk.

I got an email from Amazon Uk saying my set may be lost in the mail. Yay.

For someone who may never switch over to 4k blu-ray, is the USA UHD release worth buying just for the remastered 1080p disc to replace the 2007 blu-ray? Is it a big step up in picture quality?

I've decided that I'm finally going to give this movie a shot. Is the 4K the definitive release? Does it have strange color grading or sound effect swaps like the Batman '89 disc had? I haven't upgraded yet, but earlier today I convinced myself that I will sometime in the future. Strange how recently I was discussing to a friend how I would never upgrade and here I am...

I actually watched the UHD BD last night. Very, very impressive disc. And there is nothing controversial to the grading or image.

This upgrade is absolutely worth it. I skipped around my old bluray and the 4K is loads better. Extremely noticeable upgrade in quality.

I would purchase the 4k release, swap out the 2k disc in the older case then you can sell the 4k disc and the digital code separately, and make your money back!.
