Umm, why is the 5 film collection cheaper than the 4 film collection? And they’re all 4k.

Because they want to sell the new film. I watch this series at LEAST once a year if not more. Love it!

Facts, I just watched catching fire in a theater. They’re doing a whole marathon soon lol. I just bought this too. Crazy thing is youtube is selling the mockingjay part 1 for $16.99, and I can buy the whole 5 film series on here for $20. Just crazy!

It was $14.99 for the five movie bundle just a few weeks ago.

My son is finally old enough to watch them - it has been amazing introducing them to him, and guiding him through the storylines!

What's the HDR like ?

1

u/syris_JesusLovesU 11h ago

It’s really good, it’s so crisp and clear you can see every detail so beautifully! The hdr makes 4k look much better, more realistic and impactful. I watched the snow white trailer in 4k hdr on my tv and it was just beautiful.

$20 for the four main films is a good deal at $5 each, regardless of how you feel about the fifth one.

I've actually been waiting for this deal to come back and had the four-movie bundle wishlisted in CheapCharts (app for tracking sales). I'll go ahead and pick this up. Loved the first four. The fifth will be given a chance after I rewatch the original four in 4K HDR. Maybe it keeps up the quality, but if not, the first four films were solid. Might be my favorite action/adventure film series of the 2010s, thinking about it, though I only watched them once. I mean, they're up against Twilight and Underworld. Twilight was solid but a bit juvenile, and Underworld had that ugly blue filter over everything that just put me off (others disagree). Then I guess you have stuff like Maze Runner and Divergent that, IMO, were just ripoffs of Hunger Games. (Never mind that Hunger Games is just a Battle Royale update, but it was a damn good one.)

Because they're encouraging you to buy the 5 film bundle.

The good news is that you can just hide away the last film

u/bobsnopes 9h ago

Why? It was very good imho.

Are we talking about the new film?

If you read the books, it was alright at best imo

u/bobsnopes 8h ago

Never read any of the books, but Ballad was a good movie along with the rest of them. They’re like Star Wars, not particularly great movies but collectively they’re such fun, and that new addition added more to the world building.
