The newly released Superman – 5 Film Collection lands just in time to remind fans and newcomers alike what made the early Superman movies such benchmarks for the superhero genre – and at the same time, to stake a claim for the latest 2025 incarnation of the Man of Steel. This 5-disc 4K UHD gathers together the four original films (from 1978–1987) plus the brand-new 2025 movie – a first for any Superman boxed set. Where prior collections stopped at the classics (sometimes with alternate cuts), this edition marks a rare moment: legacy and reinvention, side by side, under one roof. And while the original’s Donner cut was considered the fifth movie in the earlier set, it’s still included here – so there’s great value for money too.

Jurassic World Rebirth review (4K)
Jurassic World: Rebirth reinvigorates the dinosaur saga with a mission-driven thriller built around a covert expedition to a remote island. Under Gareth Edwards’ direction, a team led by Scarlett Johansson’s Zora Bennett, Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Loomis, and Mahershala Ali’s operative is tasked with retrieving live dinosaur DNA for a medically critical project. While the story evokes classic Jurassic themes – science run amok, corporate interference, and survival in the wild – its character moments often feel secondary to the set-pieces. The emotional lines between characters are serviceable, but the film rarely surprises, leaning on familiar franchise beats to deliver impressive thrills rather than forging entirely new ground.

The Last of Us Season 2 review (4K)
Following an acclaimed first season that faithfully adapted the beloved PlayStation game, The Last of Us: Season 2 takes bolder risks with its storytelling, exploring deeper emotional territory and moral ambiguity. The narrative picks up in the aftermath of the shocking Season 1 finale, with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) trying to find a semblance of normalcy in Jackson. But the fragile peace doesn’t last, as new characters and old wounds bring consequences that ripple through every episode. The story introduces Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), whose journey intertwines with Ellie’s in a way that challenges perceptions of heroism and vengeance. In several ways, the season expands the universe rather than simply recreating the source material – which will no doubt divide those who played the games at least a little.

Final Destination: Bloodlines review (4K)
Final Destination: Bloodlines marks the long-running horror franchise’s return after more than a decade, and while it doesn’t overhaul the formula, it does attempt to weave a fresh thread into the established mythology. The story introduces a new group of characters whose lives become entangled when one of them has a premonition of a horrific accident, narrowly saving them from an early demise. Of course, as fans of the series know all too well, fate has a way of balancing the scales, and the survivors soon find themselves stalked by death itself. By tying the narrative into earlier films through generational links, Bloodlines aims to enrich the franchise’s lore. Continue reading “Final Destination: Bloodlines review (4K)”
How To Train Your Dragon review (4K)
DreamWorks’ How To Train Your Dragon has now received the live-action treatment in Universal Pictures’ 2025 adaptation, which arrives on 4K UHD with a presentation that aims to match the scale and heart of the original animated film. While comparisons to the 2010 classic are inevitable, this version brings fresh energy to the story of Hiccup and Toothless, even if not all choices land as gracefully as intended.
