This is one of the best channels for these sorts of review, a dollop of enthusiasm married to knowledge of films and formats (DVD, Laserdisc etc) and a great Liverpudlian accent!
That 2011 Blu-ray disc is the prequel by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Those two discs on the left that both use the new artwork are the John Carpenter movie on 4k Blu-ray and on Blu-ray.
Fantastic unboxing , i do own the Arrow special edition so not sure about picking up the 4K yet, if i do pick pick it up then i will be happy with the normal release.
Super excited to get my copy but as someone who mostly owns US releases, its a little annoying that the rating logos can’t be removed, at least on the spine for display purposes. It’s a silly complaint, I know :) Still a beauty of an edition of an absolute classic film, thanks for sharing!!
You guys get all the best stuff the release here in the states doesn't have anything along those lines love the poster and the lobby cards that come with this release and the booklet a very special release for a special movie
A fantastic boxset for a fantastic movie. So much better than those boring releases this 4k Blu-ray release got in the US. The moment I saw the announcement of this release I just knew I had to have it and immediately pre-ordered it.
@@4kCollectivE CGI is kinda bad for 2011 movie, but it's a solid 7/10 for me , maybe because I'm a huge fan of carpenters film ,also 4K would be nice ,I'm a little bit surprised they never released 2 movies in 4K at the same time.
I had some feedback that it was uncomfortable when I went at the package so I’ve toned it down a little. I thought scissors would be safer than a knife. Might turn into Michael myers.
I really hate the new artwork cover of this release. I think the shining face cover included in the American release is one of the best posters of all time and would’ve loved if they at least included it as an optional reversible cover.
Hi! A delightfull review, man! If it is possible, can you make me a favor? I need to know if the spanish audio track is latino (from southamerica) or Castillian (from Spain). Can you upload a little bit of the movie in spanish or send to me by telegram? Thanks a lot anyway!! :)

Thank you 😊
@@4kCollectivE Yeah, you’re so underrated.
Such a classic film!
I love how this set has a new Blu Ray disc but they also stuck in the original Blu Ray disc too. That’s amazing!

It’s the prequel from 2011. Totally skipped my mind. Only seen the film once. Many have said to give it another watch so I probably will.
That's a great 4k Collector's set of The Thing a fantastic movie and I bet it's a great picture transfer as well
Hoping to watch it the weekend. The Kaleidescape version which I have a review on here off looked impressive
Glad it’s region free. Thank you
No problem 👍

I agree. Will most likely black sharpie the front logos out or put a black sticker on them
@@user-ur7yh9tn2m Of course, since you are part of the MIB.
can't wait to put it next to the StudioCanal boxsets.

Must own for me. Great boxset.
Great review. How can you tell it's a 100GB disc?
They’re wrong sometimes. Just count the rings at the centre of the disc on the back. It’s either 3 for 100gb or 2 for 66Gb.
Is this dvd set region free? Will it be able to play on a US 4k player
Yes it is.
Is the 2011 The Thing prequel included?
Mine shipped this morning from hmv I ordered the steelbooks from zavvi and Amazon to
the third bluray disc is the 2011 version of the film (prequel)
I’d blanked that movie from my mind. 😏
@@4kCollectivE it wasn't that bad
Will probably give it another shot.

Does this work in America region 1
Yes. 4K discs are region free but also universal don’t region code their Blu-rays.
Ok thankyou for demonstrate film 4k and as choose better to the buy, chile santiago.
why the put the blu ray version in???no need if you alraedy have the 4k...now whe have to pay more
I never thought I’d see you use scissors my man…

Amazon haven't even posted mine
Same here mate and have a delivery date of the 27th. I just hope they don't cancel sending it I'm a bit worried!
