Despicable Me - 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital

This is a review of the 4k Blu-ray with a very good DTS-X soundtrack. The movie is one of the more enjoyable animated films to come out over the past few years. While it is a kids movie there is definitely enough here for adults to enjoy this film. I was very concerned when previews first came out that the minions would drag the movie down. I was never so happy to be wrong. The minions add great comic relief to the movie and Steve Carell does a fantastic job as Gru with help from Russell Brand (Dr Nefario) and Jason Segel (Vector). All three roles are played perfectly as to not go over the top with their performances. The 3 girls do a great job of giving real emotion where it's needed most and keep the movie from becoming too silly. The Video - the upgrade from Blu-ray to 4k is most noticeable in the use of HDR providing a deeper and stronger colors palate. There is not a lot of texture that can be improved upon. There are a few scenes where details are a little sharper such as the opening sequence in Egypt but it's not a huge improvement that Blu-ray viewers would feel like they are missing out. The audio is a good improvement on an already good mix. The DTS-X soundtrack makes good use of overhead speakers and does a good job of making the entire movie just feel fuller. IMHO If you own the Blu-ray version you only need to upgrade if you are a big fan of the movie. I'm happy with the 4k but even happier that I got it on sale.

Truly a great film. I believe this will go down in our history as one of the greatest animated films ever. The story is heartfelt and relatable to nearly everyone. The cast is fantastic. It is absolutely hilarious. You can watch it so many times and always see something different (focusing solely on one of the girls each time you watch it is a great example). And it spawned the minions! All that, on top of wonderful 4k quality is just amazing, and absolutely worth it.

loved Despicable Me in the theater and rented it a couple of times when it came out on DVD. I bought it on Blu-Ray because it was a better bargain than DVD- the Blu-Ray included more features (including 3 shorts featuring the minions- can't go wrong there) for just a little more than the DVD, not because I thought it would be significantly better in Blu-Ray. It's a cartoon, right? I was so pleased with the improved quality of the film I will purchase animated films in Blu-Ray always now. It really improved the viewing experience, and I loved the movie already.

This is a great kids movie,

TL;DR: the 4K version is so much better than the Blu-ray. It's worth buying twice! The picture quality is noticeably more detailed and colorful. The audio & video show off your system. It's definitely worth paying extra. The movie is fun, well-produced, and has so many details that I still enjoy watching it, after all these years! The other two movies aren't good enough to justify buying the collection with the other movies, IMO. You may appreciate having the variety of the other movies though. Anyway, while this story is partly about three little girls, even boys will enjoy the action sequences and the villains. A few scenes may be a bit scary for the little ones, so use your best judgement there. Some people may not appreciate the sarcasm from the girls and attitude of "the bad guys". It makes the characters more real and the movie more fun, too. My senior parents and adult brothers enjoyed it. It has heart, showing family issues, without being overbearing. Highly recommended.

This 4K looks and sounds great! The story, vocal characterizations, colorful visuals and animation are outstanding. It’s a real treat if you enjoy home theatre!

Movie is great , all ages love, but my DVD stopped working on one player, says disk cant be read (other disks still work) but this one works fine on another player in the kids room so I wound up keeping instead of dealing with returning. Would be nice to play on all my players.

Good gift

Most enjoyable to watch for kiddiwinkis and adults alike. Thoughtful storyline giving room for thought on family, morals and naughtiness. Adults will pick up on the odd comment that will go over the heads of the little ones. Characters are fun and likeable, minions are goofy and add greatly to the story, villains show they are not as naughty as they seem. First of a trilogy all worth watching.

Great family movie

Para empezar pues ya no llega con slipcover, buuu. Pero la calidad de la imagen es muy buena y es una ganancia con respecto al blu-ray, sobre todo en la paleta de colores y nitidez de la misma. El sonido en español latino 5.1 es el mismo y ahí si tengo un poco de queja porque si bien el doblaje es el mismo, los diálogos a veces se escuchan más bajos que los sonidos de ambiente i se confunde y no se entienden algunas palabras. Eso es una lástima pero ese error lo trae desde el blu-ray nacional y eso es por la calidad del doblaje, más que los dobladores. Trae también audio en inglés y subtítulos en ambos idiomas. Consíguelo de oferta.

Movie: This was a movie my wife and I saw at the movie theater this past summer. We are big fans of animated films and we had just seen Toys Story 3. Because of TS 3, we thought this film was a bit slow and not as interesting. However, having seen the product at the holiday special price, I decided to pick it up and watch it at our church gathering since there were many children. After watching it the 2nd time, we thought this was a funny, witty and family fun film. We highly recommended it if you have children. The kids at the church gathering also loved it very much. Product: This was an excellent product. The Blue-Ray performs wonderfully on our PS3 system with amazing sound. Too bad we don't have a 3D TV as it would have been cool to have the 3D one like the theater. The Combo pack is definitely worth the price as we picked it up on special. Overall, great product, great movie, GET IT!!

Excellente animation. Vraiment bien.
