I agree. The 2nd one was the best of the three. It ended up being what the first film should have been.

I liked the first 2 and haven't even seen the third one so it will be the first time when I get the collection. Hopefully it's not as bad as some are saying?

Tbh it’s not that bad, I enjoyed it though not as much as 2.

The third one is very similar to the second and just about as good IMO. I would guess if someone likes 2 and hates 3 the reason might be politics. The third movie ramps the political commentary up to 11.

I've never seen the first one. The trailer came across as more slasher than anything else. It never got my interest. The last two I liked a lot because of Frank Grillo and the social commentary.

Will have to see how the PQ stacks up before I consider upgrading.

I didn't really care much for the home invasion first one, but the second and third movie are awesome. The combination between the violence and social commentary is great. The recently announced fourth movie sounds promising too.

I'd be more interested in picking up just 2 and 3 than the bundle at this point.

Bestbuy wont price match currently because Walmart has it listed as a preorder still.
They cant price match until it becomes available.
Just got off of the phone with them..........
May return mine to get the cheaper price.

Thanks for the info! Wonder why it's still a preorder at WM.

Seen a few copies of this at my local walmart but passed on them because i wanted to see some reviews on the PQ over the blu rays.

[bgoodman112]

I was wondering that myself, since its available in store...

Thanks!

Yes, it is the cheaper price as I picked it up this morning.

Anybody pick it up and got any thoughts on PQ?

I know that the HDR will probably help the first movie a lot, since most of it is bathed in shadows...

Mostly wondering if it's a solid upgrade to the 2nd and 3rd ones.

I'll gladly let you know.....if I can actually get my copy. I ordered it this morning for in-store pickup. Here it is 4 hours later and it's still not ready for me to go get it. And now the store is showing it's out of stock(it was in stock when I ordered it). They better actually have a copy available for me. I've had it up to here with Wal-Mart and VUDU and trying to order movies from them.

Picked this up after work today. Really good price on 3 movies. Considering each one is about $8-$10 currently on blu ray, getting the UHD versions as well for only a few dollars more is a steal.

I got it pricematched through Bestbuy.com just now so I'm a little closer to being an elite member again next year. Thanks for the heads up about Walmart.com

Any clue if the European release will also come in a single case?

20 minutes into the first Purge and so far it’s looking good! Nice detail and colors are fantastic , not too showy but nicely lush during the pre-Purge scenes. I wish I could articulate more but so far so good.

Thanks for the info-great to hear so far! It's been awhile since I have seen the first one. Does it look quite a bit better than the blu-ray?

Thanks

Skimming through it, it’s a bit darker but the overall picture is much smoother. Color wise it’s richer. A-B-ing with the Bluray, it’s a minor upgrade in terms of resolution but I think the presentation overall is much more enjoyable with the 4K. Dark scenes are DARK but without sacrificing detail.
