Indiana Jones 4-Movie Collection

This four movie Blu-ray comes on five discs. All four Indiana Jones (Raiders) movies before 2023 are included in this set, and they have all been remarkably digitally restored, both video and audio in THX. The video is crisp, clear, with luxuriously saturated colors, even for the original Raiders of the Lost Ark made over 40 years ago. The video quality is so crisp and clean, the detail so fine that the credits seem fuzzy when reading the characters. Each movie is on its own disc, and the extras on each of these discs is confined mostly to teasers.However, the fifth disc contains probably 7-8 hours of the typical extras you would expect to find on a Blu-ray disc, including an original standard definition television-quality making of from 1981, but the others were are much clearer—not quite modern high definition, but still quite satisfactory.It's a great collection at a great price. An easy way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon or holiday day off. It's also an amalgamation of culture and now history. I remember seeing the first Raiders movie with a friend in 1981 and jumping out of my seat in fear of the rolling boulder. My friend was of a Hollywood background and told me that Raiders was essentially an homage to the old "adventure" movies, which I did not understand at the time. I now see the Raiders series as an essential element of movie history.Which brings me to my last point, which is only a mild warning: this collection does NOT include the 2023 installment "Dial of Destiny," but I find that to be OK. When this collection was made, the most recent installment was not yet made.

This is a review on this product & the new addition to the franchise. 1st the quality is outstanding, they have cleaned up small discrepancies from the original movies. Such as little details like in the original you could see Harrison Ford's reflection in the glass separating him from a deadly cobra. In general, they improved the visual & audio. As far as the movies themselves from the beginning to the end they have paid great attention to details in the historical timeline. Not only in what was going on in the world ...but also the little things such as clothing, appliances, buildings, just about everything. Now there are those that say these movies are cheesy, that there is no way they could have escaped death especially the scene involving an airplane, rubber raft, mountain ...well I don't want to give away spoilers. True this is way over the top unbelievable. What people don't understand, this is the director's nod to the old cinema's "Cliff Hangers" or " Chapter Stories". Many Directors do this Lucas did it in " Willow" the doglike creatures hunting the baby were a direct nod to the make up in the old cult classic " Attack of the Killer Shrews." Personally, things like that don't spoil a movie for me. I have said many times. I don't care about big budgets, perfect special effects in a Fantasy/Adventure movie as long as it's well written and achieves its objective. To me that's entertaining you for an hour or two with excitement & fun. And trust me in that these movies succeed! I could go on and on about these movies but that would be superfluous. In short if you're into fun escapist adventure movies purchase without reservation. If you're looking for straight realism adventure, check out " K2 " a great film based on a true story that went under the radar. But for the price I found it worth my money to upgrade my old movies with these Blu-Rays.

I loved 3 out of 5 of the Indiana Jones movies only cuz i grew up on those 3 movies. 😂 As for Crystal Skull was good until it brought in the Aliens/Mya conspiracy theory stuff that was a turn off for me when i saw this in theaters when it came out i was disappointed & shaking my head in disbelief, i still do to this day, i haven’t seen the 5th & final Indy movie yet.

The digital codes are still valid as of 7/23/24, another reviewer said the codes didn't work, if that's the case they should exchange their set for a replacement. The digital codes make this a very attractive deal, in my opinion digital codes should be an industry standard and should be included with all 4K disk offerings.With that being said... Put on your Fedora and grab a bucket of popcorn because this set is awesome! The packaging of this set is bright and beautiful, and it takes me back when I saw these movies in the theater on their original theatrical release dates. The 80's was an awesome time for movies, kids these days just don't get the experience we Gen X kids did in packed theaters back in the day, and I pity them because they just don't understand the magic that movies like 'Indiana Jones' offered in a packed theater experience. If you want to relive your child hood with your family this is about as close as you are going to get these days.“You have chosen wisely.” – Grail Knight
