Yes it does! They did such a great job with it!

It's moving up on my list for sure!

Awesome! Glad you were able to find it!

I do love They Live... just not as much. Lol

They live has a deeper message, the thing is a better movie. Imo of course

They Live is indeed another masterpiece by John Carpenter. I love both of them, They Live and The Thing. They're two completely different kind of movies, so it's really hard for me to decide which one of them is my favourite. However, they are my two favourite movies by John Carpenter, putting Halloween in third place. I own the British Collector's Edition by Studio Canal of They Live and I've also ordered a Japanese LaserDisc of the movie. Great movie, in my opinion.

I would have to agree The Thing is my favorite Carpenter movie, other than Escape From New York.

I just got the bluray of Tomb not too long ago. Still never seen it.

@@midlevelmedia I’ll be honest they didn’t do very well with the Blu-ray transfer. But it is my favorite movie of all time and I would really like for you to watch it if you did a video on your thoughts of the movie after you watch it that would be pretty cool. It truly is one of the greatest western movies ever made

@@stephannelson8780 To be honest, I've been toying with the notion of doing a western month on the channel, reviewing 4K and Bluray versions of all the big ones I've never seen. It's a genre I need to dive more into. Don't see it happening this year because of the busy fall release season, but maybe January or February?

@@midlevelmedia I for one would watch every episode! I love all movies but westerns are my favorite. I could recommend a lot for you to watch.

(I made SURE to pre-order the steelbook the minute it went live, because I did NOT want to miss it! And I went into Best Buy to complain about damaged steelbooks due to their crappy shipping with ZERO padding/protection, and I asked them to make SURE that it was packaged properly with protection, and for once it was lol)

Maybe 8, but its definitely not my most rewatched horror. That's about to change!

So good!

Ohhh awesome! You will not believe it when you see this film in 4K. It'll be like that first experience!

Awesome! That's a very nice set! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching Don and very cool about your Carpenter autograph!

Thanks man! You'll really enjoy it!

Thanks man! Did you grab this one?

Such a great scene!

It's so great Jeff! Thanks for watching!

@@midlevelmedia No problem Ken your welcome

Such a nice steelbook! Glad you were able to find it!

I hope you love it!

It's so good!

Absolutely fantastic top to bottom!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Very interesting...

Ohhh just get frisky and get it! Totally worth owning more copies of this classic! Lol

That's a great looking set!

It's so great Maria!

Nice!

Ohhh awesome! Glad you were able to snag it!

@@midlevelmedia I was lucky for sure. Thanks for the review!

Arrow would have done a terrific job with a great boxset no doubt. You won't hear any arguments from me there.

Thanks for watching James!

Agreed Jeff!

Yeah, if they rushed it, we may of gotten a T2 situation. Lol.. Hope you enjoy that very spectacular boxset and thanks for watching!

@@midlevelmedia Exactly. T2 was exactly the movie I was thinking of while I was writing my comment. I can't believe they're now releasing a new Steelbook with the old transfer. At least, it does seem like they'll just be using the old 4k Blu-ray for this new release. However, let's just hope they'll somehow surprise us in a positive way.

Yes! One of the best!

Ohhh awesome! Glad you were able to snatch it!

Our 1 and 3 are the same!

I've heard from others it is not the original sound and they were dissapointed.

Do not worry! It honestly looks phenomenal!

@@midlevelmedia Thanks :) And speaking of Universal Studios, have you seen the 4K box set of Hitchcock classics? If not, you need to check it out. Simply outstanding!!

@@mrtunapie6653 Yes I have, but I only have a 4K review of "The Birds."

You'll love it!

@@midlevelmedia Yop! I finally got around to watching it yesterday and found it to be awesome. I also got around to watching STAR TREK-TMP and enjoyed it greatly. Listened to the Dolby True HD soundtrack with dts x virtual engaged and it was very, very engaging and enveloping!

Awesome! You can never have too many copies or this amazing film!

The Scream Factory makes it a worthy double dip just for the extras. I agree 💯

Thanks for watching!

I agree. I enjoy a bit of grain myself too.

Wow! That's a lot of thing!

I really need to rewatch Escape and Big Trouble again soon!

@@midlevelmedia escape from new york is my favorite because its very creepy, and some good action

Now that you mention it, I can hear that now. Lol

I think it's back on there for 21.99

Yes it is!

I'm sure it will!

I would love to tackle that at some point! Would love to do more rankings in general.

@@midlevelmedia People love ranking vids :)

Doesn't necessarily mean we would have gotten better work and I think Universal did such a good job here.

I don't care about that, but they should have included all of the bonus features Shout! Factory made then.

Yeah I hear ya. Gotta get it together. Lol... I used to not do reviews because of that, but then I decided I wanted to still talk about the movie and everything else. Definitely plan on system upgrades in the future, so stay tuned. It only gets better from here. Lol

@Some Hairy Italian Guy Yeah for the most part, a good 5.1 system is all u need. Anything beyond that is just gravy…Although having 2 subs is a must I believe.

Sounds good! Hope you enjoy it either way!

Me too!

I need to see it!

Thanks for watching!

I'm thinking at some point.

No Steelbook for me either buddy!

He's a great director with a lot of great films. I get it!

Not this one. Several Carpenter films in 4K from Studio Canal, but not this.

Now I do!

Yeah. I really wish they didn't do that to the 2011 version. Just reviewed that one if you'd like to check it out.

@@midlevelmedia Just watched the video 😎

@@stephendevore3902 Thanks man!

You're the only one that's noticed so far, but I actually meant to say "Alien." Lol

And also, once you watch "The Thing" you'll understand. Even if you don't like it more, they are both on the same level.

@@midlevelmedia kind of figured with the alien bit! I may have to stream the thing tonight before deciding to jump on the 4k. I've been meaning to watch since last year's Halloween season

Ohh hell yeah and bring back Winstead!

Ummmm.. yes? Lol

@@midlevelmedia I hope you got the innocent sarcasm there! You gloated over the film quite a bit, as anyone really would, as it’s a bona-fide MASTERPIECE of Sci-Fi cinema, and cements John Carpenter as the greatest genre director, who has ever lived.

@@celluloidtherapy5003 lol.. Yes sir I did! Couldn't help but gush about the things I love though!

They're both so great, it's definitely hard to choose!

Ohhh wow! Sorry you did not enjoy it and hope you put that refund money towards something you will.

And you have every right to do that. Halloween is still my favorite.

I liked it. What can I say? Lol

@@midlevelmedia - I mean, you can like it, and that's fine, mate. But if you can't appreciate how having things mysterious or unexplained serves a horror or thriller story better... I mean, I don't know what to tell ya. Other than, in my opinion, you don't understand the intricacies of good story telling, and would therefore struggle to discern good stories from bad.

@@insrtcowjoke Don't really think that's a fair assessment to make based on this one opinion. I understand where you're coming from. I hate Rob Zombie's "Halloween" because of its explanation of the Michael Myers character. A character that needs no explanation in my opinion. In this particular case, I didn't mind a little backstory, because we already knew what happened, the prequel just fleshed it out, and I don't think it took away from the original at all. If anything, it enhanced it for me. Like I said, a prequel/explanation, when done right, can really add to a story and universe. Not needed most of the time, but it doesn't always have to be a bad thing.

@@midlevelmedia - I agree with the core of your opinion, on that front. But for this case... Well, so the Norwegian camp just happened to be run by Americans? When the bases are clearly research bases run by individual nations? Why is all the research written and recorded in Norwegian if it was run by Americans? Where are the abandoned vehicles at the crashed UFO where the ending climax happened? Why does the thing do completely uncharacteristic things like openly attack people on a helicopter in full view of others, when it is clearly opportunistic and smart enough to not reveal itself unless exposed? How does it gain knowledge from prey like names, locations, purposes, etc., yet forget what piercings the victim had/it should have? I mean, I can go on and on to tear the inconsistencies of the prequel apart. And I'm just a casual fan. So I'd agree with you, if the movie maintained consistency. But it doesn't. It doesn't even come close. It botches basic concepts of the thing, all in the name of explaining an event that needed no explanation and was better left unexplained, from a narrative standpoint. But hey, you don't have to agree. It you enjoyed it, you enjoyed it. And despite our discussion here, my intent isn't to ruin your fun or enjoyment. I enjoy a healthy discussion. But ultimately, my point for it all is that I'm not going to be able to agree with your take, because we clearly have differing ideas of what constitutes a good prequel, and potentially a good movie entirely. And that's fine. Diversity of thought and opinion is ultimately a wonderful thing. But sometimes that means people just won't see eye to eye. C'est la vie. :)

Thanks!
