Assassin's Creed [4K UHD]

In perfect condition. No hairline scratches or damage to case.

Great movie with great action and acting. Forget the haters, they always need something to whine about. You won't waste any time watching this one. It's a banger from beginning to end. Sad Disney bought it and canned it, they ruin alot of good projects once they get involved.

I read mixed reviews on this movie, so wasn’t sure if I wanted to pick up this movie myself. I ultimately went ahead and ordered it, and I was glad I did.First, a disclaimer - the stories within this movie and the Assassin’s Creed games are fiction. As the opening disclaimer in the game reads: “Inspired by historical events and characters. This work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs.” Don’t get upset if either the movie or the games misrepresent historical events or organizations and their motivations. It’s fiction.—————Some spoilers for those who have never played the games (skip to the paragraph with the two asterisks if you do not want to read the spoilers):The story revolves around an ongoing war between two secret societies: The Assassin’s and The Templars. The basic idea is that the Templars wish to achieve peace in the world through order (their order of course), and the Assassin’s basically fight to maintain people’s freedom. Those aligned with the Templars in present day have established a company called Abstergo which has developed computer technology that allows users the ability to relive our ancestor’s memories. In the video game, this is achieved through a computer program with VR technology called the Animus. In the movie, the Animus has been reimagined as a hulking machine with an arm that connects to the user, allowing them to perform many of their ancestor’s maneuvers firsthand. The idea behind the Animus remains the same, though. Abstergo has found certain people are best suited to relive these memories, and a direct descendant to the specific ancestor can provide the best connection (or synchronization, as they refer to it).Now some spoilers for the movie:The movie centers on a character named Cal Lynch, who supposedly is a direct descendant to Aguilar (who lived in the late 1400s), the last person on record as having possession of the “Apple of Eden”, a device said to have caused man’s first disobedience. The Templars want the device, because with it, they believe they can remove people’s free will, bringing peace to the world through order. Cal, a man with a troubled childhood and prone to violence, is brought to Abstergo against his will and is hooked up to the Animus so he can relive the memories of Aguilar to see where he hid the Apple of Eden (so the Templars will know where to find it in present day). Since he is at Abstergo against his will, gradually learning why he is there, he struggles with both helping them and enduring the Animus itself (evidently being hooked up to the device unwillingly can cause some mental side effects).—————* * Now my review on the movie. I thought the story was done well. Obviously with an origin movie (especially one with the complexities like the story behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise), there is going to be a lot of dialog to help explain the organizations, characters, and events in the games. That said, I wish there were less scenes that takes place in present day, and more action scenes in the past. The scenes from 1492 are amazing! I especially liked some of the references to the games (such as the wagons of hay, the eagle screech as Aguilar performs a leap of faith, etc). I did notice several instances throughout the movie where the scene would freeze for effect. Micheal Jackson would do the same in his performances, and called it “sizzle”. The idea was to build up the audience’s anticipation for what was to come, but in the movie, to me it breaks the pace of the movie, slowing it down, and making it feel more drawn out (and making the movie feel longer than it is).In the end, for the price, it’s a nice movie to add to your collection, but if you are even remotely unsure how you’ll like the movie, I’d recommend renting the movie first. I hope they make another movie. Now with the origin story established, they can concentrate more on the scenes that take place in the past.

I find myself disagreeing with critics more and more lately, and that is certainly the case with this film. Assassin's Creed is a truly one-of-a-kind film that posits some lofty, thought-provoking ideas while simultaneously providing a mesmerizing, high-octane action experience the likes of which I guarantee you haven't seen before. If you like action movies, parkour, top-notch stuntwork, or thought-provoking stories, then I guarantee the film is worth at least one watch, and I honestly think it's good enough that you'll want to watch it again.There are plenty of reviews/other places you can get a basic synopsis of the film so I won't go through the trouble of copy-pasting that here. Instead, having already recommended the film itself, I will review the film's available formats. I have both the 4K UHD Blu-ray as well as the 3D Blu-ray, and both are quite impressive in their own right.The 3D version holds impressive detail, contrast and color at all times while constantly providing multiple planes of depth in every shot. The highlights of the 3D version include the historical regressions, particularly the second regression (the chase through the city). Additionally, though, even the slower modern-day sequences consistently provide immersive depth at all times. On my equipment (LG Passive 3D LED 4K TV), there was no crosstalk/ghosting and no artifacts at any point throughout the film. Overall, the 3D in this film is more impressive than many other Hollywood films, so if you like 3D then you should definitely get this one. Though it only includes a 7.1 track, the sound is still impressively immersive.There has been an odd and somewhat annoying trend of most 4K Blu-rays actually containing movies that were mastered at 2K and then upconverted to 4K- what some people refer to as "fake 4K." With that in mind (and having watched many other 4K Blu-rays), I can honestly say that Assassin's Creed is an absolute testament to the potential of the format. You see, the entirety of Assassin's Creed was actually shot in 6K and then mastered in 4K, so this is one of the few films that is actually true 4K, and it shows. The level of detail is simply astounding, and the HDR impresses as well. In addition, the native Dolby Atmos soundtrack is incredible. If you have the equipment, you should definitely add this one to your collection.Honestly, especially if you can get them for good prices and if you do indeed enjoy the film, it is definitely worth getting in both 3D and 4K as both versions are impressive testaments to their respective formats. The film itself is well worth your time, and both versions come with a standard Blu-ray that includes a fascinating five-part documentary on the making of the film; it is especially impressive to see the footage of them doing absolutely EVERYTHING for real, very little CGI. Highly recommended.

Great movie and very good action. The 4K picture is Very good and the sound track is EXCELLENT for Home Theatre demo! A good buy.

Mis expectativas no eran altas para está película, ya que no fue bien recibida por parte de los crítico de cine, sin embargo, me lleve una muy grata sorpresa. Aunque no califíca para ser la mejor de su género, la verdad es muy buena para pasar una tarde bastante entretenida. Es de las mejores películas basadas en videojuegos que he visto. Además, la calidad del vídeo (versión 4K HDR) y el audio (Dolby Atmos) son excelentes. A la historia le pongo un 8/10 y a la calidad del audio/vídeo un 9.5/10. La recomiendo en su versión UHD 4K, es de las mejores en este formato. Recomendable (4.5/5).

this was bought for my sons xmas to go with the new release of assassins creed origins and he tells me it was really good

Deliver fast, and well packaged, they are the important things ! THANKS

A mi si me gusto la película, para ser adaptación es muy buena, para redimir el código de descarga digital, es necesario usar VPN con dirección de EE.UU., de lo contrario no te va a dejar, aparte la única aplicación que conozco y funciona en Mexico es flixster
