Zavvi has the steelbook (sold out now).
For those of you who don’t know.
The Northman story is the real life story that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet (which inspired The Lion King)
I really enjoyed the movie, it had a nice spiritual element to it that I wasn't expecting, and I liked that. Those black levels looks excellent on an OLED.
One of my favorites of the year along with The Batman, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Top Gun.
Both are my top 2 movies of the year. Are you going to get them on physical discs?
@@megamikethemovieman yup. I collect physical only currently.
@@themtgdude486 I’m a big collector. I cover lots of physical media topics on my channel along with lots of collections and unboxings, feel free to stop by to enjoy some videos and so we can talk some movies my friend.
I really want more period pieces like the last duel and The Northman. I’m over nothing but super hero movies and remakes.
The Last Duel has nothing on The Northman.
@@cobain2261 both good movies both period pieces that’s all I’m saying
@@stephannelson8780 i agree with you completely that there should be more period piece movies
The Northman is basically the first Lion King
Saw the film twice in theatres. I will be picking this up for sure.
Saw this in theaters and ordered the 4K. I dug it.
Is this your favorite Edgar’s movie?
@@megamikethemovieman not sure. Will have to ponder it
Picking this up as soon as I can. Pre ordered top gun, live die repeat, heat and dr strange steelbooks
I think it’s awesome. There’s definitely a good mix of Eggers’ style and mainstream storytelling. It’s over two hours long but felt like 90 minutes to me. I was fully immersed in this world the whole runtime.
Thank you for the review Adam! Scandinavian release is going to be september 6th. Quite hard to understand why we have to wait for so long
Have you seen the movie already?
It's a movie that definitely rewards the viewer for rewatching it and is definitely my movie of the year so far
Agreed I liked it the first time. Some of it was a little weird for me but I liked it even more the second time.
What’s your 2nd favorite?
@@stephannelson8780 yep second time was the charm for me also
@@megamikethemovieman I think X would be my second favourite really enjoyed that and had a nice bit to think about afterwards
@@steven6979 X is probably my 3rd favorite movie of the year right behind Top Gun Maverick and Everything Everywhere All At Once. I cover lots of physical media topics on my channel and have lots of collection/unboxing videos, feel free to stop by to enjoy some videos and so we can talk more movies my friend.
Hi! Does it specify if the Blu-ray disc is Region A or Region Free? Thank you in advance!
I totally agree, in my review I also said it feels like when a director gets a little too much money, and does a little too much research.
Your a reviewer too, like me. I will have to checkout your channel in support. Feel free to stop by mine my movie friend.
There is a steelbook though it’s sold out. I love this film so I might pay the premium on one from eBay
Loved it in the theater, my 4k copy arrives tomorrow. I loved the Lighthouse....The Witch though......I don't know. I've only watched it once and I do own it. I feel like I need to watch it again. It didn't do much for me the first time I watched it.
Is it your favorite movie of the year?
@@megamikethemovieman It very well might be. I've only watched it once so far, I'm thinking this or The Batman, which I've watched twice so far. But my Northman copy arrive today, and I sooo looking forward to rewatching it.
I know the reviews have been great, I held out today it dropped to 22.00
4:15 was that a Doberman in a coat?
The 2.0 aspect ratio is an interesting choice, but really confused the heck out of theatrical venues. My viewings were either cropped, or minimized too excessively.
Not sure why Eggers opted for this niche, uncommon ratio. I imagine it will be frustrating for those who used masking for projector setups, as the film also employs a lot of subtitled scenes.
All 3 of Eggers' movies have uncommon ratios. The Witch is 1.66:1, The Lighthouse is 1.19:1 and The Northman is 1.85:1.
He always chooses aspect ratios based on what feels right for the movie.
@@mr.rapter4517 I have no issues with directors using different aspect ratios based on content. But he didn't use 1.85 for Northman. MovieGuy in this review cites 2.0:1 ratio. Eggers can choose any ratio he wants, but this will not be ideal with how most theatrical and home systems are set up
@@nonametofame Oh yeah, sorry, IMDb lists this as 1:85:1 but the 4K cover says 2.00:1. Yeah, I'm not sure why he's chosen this aspect ratio but it's his creative choice as was kinda to be expected. At this point I don't think he will ever make a movie in 2.40/2.39:1, lol.
Many people pointed out that he makes art house type of movies so this big budget movie that played in many theaters is kind of a stand out because it looks the way it looks and theaters are not adapted to niche aspect ratios. It's a creative choice so it would look the way he wants, I don't think he really took the theaters not being able to adapt into consideration, he just did what he felt was proper.
@@mr.rapter4517 no worries, it thew me off too. Imdb also isn't the most reliable source, especially technical aspects.
I hope we get Eggers movies for many decades. He's truly a gifted and visionary director. The fact that we're getting to enjoy his work theatrically is a minor miracle.
But I question why 2.0? Does he need to be so unique and esoteric just to be original, for every filmmaking decision? I can support that on a creative aspect but my first showing was hindrered because the Dolby cinema room presented it cropped, which cut off the subtitles.
Eggers shouldn't compromise his vision in any way, so I guess we'll have to live with these rare anomalies.
So thats why the top and bottom of the image was spilling off the projector screen when I saw this movie in theaters
Best Buy advertised this 4K on their website with artwork of the main character standing on a cliff overlooking the water with the ships, and I really like that artwork so I pre-ordered it. However, when it arrived it was COMPLETELY different artwork, the one shown here (which I do not like nearly as much). So I returned it. I wonder why Best Buy falsely advertised the product?! I'm gonna buy it from Zavvi probably, because it seems like their UK version actually WILL have that artwork that was advertised.
I’m sure that was the image that Best Buy got from the Manufacture/Distribution. Imagine’s sometimes change when dealing with preorders. The retailer doesn’t control what they are given when dealing with images of final products but they take all the heat dealing with unhappy customers and returns that cost them to lose money
I'm so put off by the "cluster of characters in a triangle look" used on countless movie posters and blu-ray releases. I'm sure they have data that show they'll sell more copies than if they went with something more artistic or visually unique, but this isn't the DVD Era. 4k blu-ray is a niche market aimed mostly at collectors. I would love if companies released 4ks with artwork unique to them and save the bland people pleaser images for the DVDs
@@MatthewBrannickWilliam Exactly, that's why I liked the artwork that was advertised and disliked the one that was actually on the product.
@@craigcrashdad Well, no matter whose fault it was, it was still falsely advertised. If Best Buy is getting incorrect information from the manufacturer/distributor then I guess Best Buy needs to take that up with them, I can't do anything about that, I can only return the product that was falsely advertised to me and inform them of the situation.
That image is from the Steelbook. (Zavvi exclusive)
As usual, studio Execs made the director do cuts & edits to the film. This is why EVERY movie should be released with the Director’s cut and the studio version.
What is your favorite directors cut movie of all time?
This movie will tide me over until God of War Ragnarok comes out. #Vikings #Kratos #Sony #TheNorthman #Playstation4 #Playstation5 #SantaMonicaStudio
I really wanted to love this movie. But it was kinda empty
Same. It felt like an unfinished product because the studio made him cut 1 hour off the run time. His original movie was a 3 hour and 30 minute endeavor. Shame with studio putting so much pressure on him.
I had to walk out after 30 minutes. I’ll try to give it a chance on peacock streaming service but yeah
I agree
@@ScruffyWarlord what? It would’ve made things even worse
@@pedroaugustopinheiro No it wouldn't have. They forced him to re -edit the entire second half of the movie. That's why it feels so all over the place. It's basically an entirely different film than he envisioned making. Sadly.
This movie was a miss for me
It is not a movie for low testosterone individuals. I loved the film.
@@cobain2261 🤣😅😭. Okay tough guy
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 hahaha 😂 😆 🤣 stay mad
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 stay mad bozo
@@cobain2261 😅🤣😭 such a witty reply
This movie was a total waste of effort, both in its making and in the time it took to watch. The dialogue was so convoluted as to be untelligable.
What have been some of your favorite movies of the year?
You should read more buddy. You obviously lack an understanding of the English language.
