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…)

Solo: A Star Wars Story Movie Review

Over the course of the original Star Wars movies Harrison Ford so perfectly embodied the role of Han Solo that watching the iconic space smuggler die in The Force Awakens was like losing an old friend. But while Alden Ehreneich [Rules Don’t Apply] isn’t as spot-on as a young Han in Solo: A Star Wars Story, the action-packed sci-fi space opera is so much fun that you won’t really notice.

Terminator Genisys Blu-ray, DVD Review

While the quality has sometimes waivered, the Terminator movies have always managed to be engaging and intriguing. But while the same can be said about the latest (and, sadly, possibly last) installment, Terminator Genisys, the wavering comes not in the movie itself, but in the extras included, and not included, in the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, the 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and especially the DVD.
