Avengers: Endgame 4K, Blu-ray, DVD Review

 

Like its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame feature an almost overwhelming number of characters familiar to fans of both the Marvel movies and the comics that inspired them. And while it’s a bit of a bummer the same can’t be said for the extras on Avengers: Endgame 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/Digital combo pack, the Blu-ray/Digital combo pack, and, especially, the DVD, they are still a good way to watch this rather spectacular end to this epic saga.

Alita: Battle Angel 4K, Blu-ray, DVD Review

While the most important part of any movie collection is the movie itself, that doesn’t mean movie fans don’t care a lot about the extras. Which is why it’s always a bummer when they’re incomplete, or one version doesn’t have all of the available extras. Such is the sad state of affairs with the 3D 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD versions of cyberpunk sci-fi movie Alita: Battle Angel. Not only is the latter edition missing most of the available extras, but the former two also come up short when compared to the digital version.

“The Venture Bros.: Season 7” Blu-ray, DVD Review

 

While not everyone cares about collecting their favorite TV shows on Blu-ray or DVD, those of us who do always appreciate when it’s done right. Which is why fans of the animated adventure comedy The Venture Bros. will be rather happy with The Venture Bros.: Season 7 Blu-ray and DVD.

Captain Marvel Blu-ray, 4K, DVD Review

 

When Captain Marvel came out earlier this year, people applauded Marvel for finally giving a female superhero her own movie, while pointing out that it shouldn’t have taken nearly two-dozen films. So it’s a little odd that the home versions of Captain Marvel — a Blu-ray/Digital combo pack, and 4K/Blu-ray/Digital combo pack, and DVD — would themselves be unfair towards people who don’t have HD TVs, and even then for people who’d rather buy this movie digitally.

South Park: The Complete Twenty-Second Season Blu-ray, DVD Review

One of the interesting things about South Park is how they’ve had running gags and call backs, but don’t go back to a subject once they’ve taken it on. But having been around for more than two decades, some of those subjects have evolved, or just not gone away. And so it is that in some of the episodes presented in South Park: The Complete Twenty-Second Season Blu-ray and DVD, they not only tackle new cultural issues but some old though still relevant ones as well.

Archer: Danger Island: The Complete Season Nine DVD Review

Much like episodes of the animated show they collect, the recent seasonal sets for Archerare not as good as the earlier ones. But if, like me, you continue to be a fan of this weird and wild show, you’ll still enjoy the DVD version of Archer: Danger Island: The Complete Season Nine.

Star Trek: Discovery: Season One Blu-ray, DVD Review

In theory, one of the upsides of a TV streaming service is that your favorite shows are always available. In practice, however, that hasn’t always been the case. For that, you still need a physical release, something a lot of shows made for streaming services don’t get. But fans of Star Trek: Discovery are in luck as Paramount and CBS Home Entertainment have released Star Trek: Discovery: Season One (Blu-ray, DVD), which not only includes all fifteen episodes, but the kind of extras that fans of this sci-fi space opera will appreciate.

Ash Vs. Evil Dead: The Complete Collection Blu-ray, DVD Review

Like many TV shows having their entire series collected on home video, the discs included in the Ash Vs. Evil Dead: The Complete Collection Blu-ray and DVD are just the discs from the Ash Vs. Evil Dead: The Complete First Season, Complete Second Season, and Complete Third Season collections in a single package. Which, on one hand, is great, since it means that fans who own the seasonal sets won’t have to buy this as well. But it’s also a bummer because the seasonal sets were missing a few key extras that, had they been added to this collected edition, would’ve actually made it, well, complete.

Solo: A Star Wars Story Blu-ray, 4K Review

While Han Solo has long been one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars saga, he’s also been one of the more mysterious, with his backstory left largely untold. But that all changed with Solo: A Star Wars Story, a biopic that showed what Han was up to a few years before he agreed to give a ride to some old guy and a cocky teenager. And while this epic sci-fi space opera works well on the new Blu-ray and 4K editions, they are missing some key extras that would’ve made them even better. (There is also a DVD version, but it seems to have no extras, and since I wasn’t sent a copy of it to review…)
