It (2017) (Blu-ray)

Warner presents It in 1080p MPEG-4 AVC at 2.40:1, closely matching its theatrical framing. Shot digitally, the film combines crisp facial detail and richly textured locations with a deliberately subdued, ominous palette. Pennywise's red balloons and costume accents stand out against Derry's muted streets and gloomy interiors. Black levels are deep, and most dark scenes retain convincing gradations and readable detail. Occasional crushed shadows and fleeting compression noise are the principal drawbacks; the encode averages approximately 23.90 Mbps. Even so, the image has excellent depth and atmosphere, making this a strong high-definition presentation. The 4K UHD offers HDR benefits, but the Blu-ray remains impressive. The disc includes English Dolby Atmos with a lossless Dolby TrueHD 7.1-compatible soundtrack, plus a separate DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 option. Both provide an exceptionally dynamic experience. Rain, creaking floors, rushing water, unsettling whispers, and sudden attacks spread across the soundfield with precise placement and formidable bass. Benjamin Wallfisch's score moves effortlessly between wistful childhood themes and aggressive horror cues. Dialogue remains intelligible even during chaotic sequences. Atmos-capable systems gain additional immersion, but conventional surround setups are very well served. English SDH and other subtitle options are included. Three HD featurettes offer worthwhile background: Pennywise Lives! (16:25) explores Bill Skarsgård's transformation; The Losers' Club (15:42) examines the young cast's chemistry; and Author of Fear (13:51) lets Stephen King discuss the novel's origins. Eleven deleted or extended scenes (15:18) add character moments and an amusing alternate opening. There is no director's commentary or theatrical trailer. The original two-disc package includes a DVD copy; its digital redemption offer has expired. Andy Muschietti's adaptation succeeds by making the friendship among the Losers' Club as compelling as its supernatural terror. The young ensemble is remarkably convincing, while Skarsgård's Pennywise is a disturbing, unpredictable presence. The 1980s setting adds nostalgic texture without diminishing the story's darker themes. Some computer-generated scares and jump-heavy sequences are less effective than the film's quieter dread, but its emotional core gives the horror real stakes. Warner's Blu-ray complements the film with excellent picture quality, outstanding immersive sound, and engaging, if limited, extras. Highly recommended for horror fans. The 4K UHD is an option for HDR enthusiasts, but this edition remains a terrific and economical way to experience the film.

This is not a review of the movie, this is a review of what is advertised compared to what I received in the mail. Advertised: Bluray+DVD+Digital Received: Bluray This may seem petty to some people but I bought this specifically for all three versions listed and even after contacting the seller where they responded that "This appears to be a listing error" the listing remains the same. And it's not just the listing, the picture includes the same false advertisement. Offering a refund doesn't change that.

Good quality

It came a day later than I was expecting and it had a small dent on the cover but other than that, exactly what I wanted.

it was a gift and they loved it

Excellent.

This movie is awesome! So much better than the original.

While I am a huge fan of the original, I still found this one to exceed my expectations given how disappointing most remakes are. This one is definitely worth a watch and is even a lot closer to the book than its 1990 predecessor.

Awesome movie and worth the money to see in the theater and buy the disc. Can't wait till part 2!

I love it
