The Abyss 4K UHD (1989)

[wlgiv]

When I ordered it on Amazon it was $24.96, due to arrive today. Now, no ETA and is listed on site at $44.44. True Lies is also MIA

[Mr. Chaverria]

Hrm... This and True Lies are not yet shipped from Amazon. And... nobody has it around me. Yet...

[frogmort]

Dude looks like he's about to freakin' explode with excitement here.


COCAINE!!!! WOO!!!!

I think a lot of people are getting sick of the "Amazon Experience". Order something, supposed to receive it the next day, and then next day all you get is "It's running late...". Then don't promise t to the customer unless you are SURE it can get there. I order quite a bit from Amazon (40+ orders per month), and at least 5 or 6 every month are delayed. So the frustration of this latest is just added onto a shoppers already growing frustration.

Amazon sets rules for 3rd Party Sellers. Deliver it on time, or the customer can ask for a refund AND keep the item when it shows up. They just don't play by the rules they set.

If people have been waiting this long, they can wait a few more days. The irony is that people shun streaming for physical media, then do nothing but complain about getting films on physical media. Slipcovers, cover art, a delay in shipping etc etc etc. It;s boorish and tiresome, and people should learn what matters rather than just trying to be outraged over every little thing. Lots of entitlement and childish behavior for people finally getting what they want.

Diabolik evidently got these all ready to ship and then sat on them all day. USPS still doesn’t have it. Sigh. Guess I’m looking at the weekend. Oh well…just a few more days.

I ordered 2 weeks ago and that should have ensured delivery tomorrow!!

To be fair, how are they supposed to know how prompt (or not) the distributor will be? That part’s kind of out of their control.

"all three" of them are, as of a couple minutes ago.

For anyone else looking for the trailers, they are on Disc 3.

• Select "Archives."
• Use the arrow buttons to navigate through several pages to "Chapter 25: Publicity/Advertising/Marketing"
• Use the skip button to navigate through many pages of text and images until you reach the trailers section.
• Press the OK button on the screen that says press ENTER to play the first trailer.

(or whatever corresponding buttons appear on your remote)

I've watched a few scenes from the film. It looks and sounds great, just like it did on the big screen on December 6.

I've also watched the new documentary, "Deep Dive." I enjoyed it. Much of the archival footage had the plastic-y look to it that I've seen in True Lies screenshots. I'm not complaining, just sharing. That footage was low-res to begin with, and as long as the feature looks good, I'm happy.

To those still waiting for delivery, you have my sincere sympathy.

Fortunate to get mine today (along with with Dragonslayer). Aliens delayed till next week.

[Ray Jackson]

My order was listed as out for delivery this morning.

Just got an email saying the order needed approval and hadn’t even shipped yet.

…Amazon has been taking a giant dump on customers for years.

Thank you Mr Bezos.

…i apologize for expecting you to honor the terms of your own mission statement.

Wait till all these people who've never even seen Abyss before and are only buying it for the fomo meltdown when the rat goes for a swim

If it runs cooler it is because it is at least 10 times the size. Performance and longevity are hard to argue as well. I have a basic MBP from 2011 that still works well.

This is not the thread for this, so I’ll just say I couldn’t feel more the opposite. Why not get both?



Can anyone give more detail about the UHD transfer? I’m going in blind to The Abyss and not sure if I want to crack the plastic yet.

You better apologize to Mr. Bezos. Otherwise, well...let's just say you won't be the first thing Amazon has ever lost before.

Wiped the disc which is spotless,and even tried it on a different player with the same result.

What! Is this a common issue with this 4K Blu title?

[chadergeist]

I'm not spending $44+ frickin' dollars for just a regular bluray! Forget it! These studios are retarded! These stupid fake 4K bluray's need to stop! SMDH!
