I figured those were the two candidates. They are the strongest ones of the quad. I picked up No Time To Die 4K recently for next to nothing ($5 which with a $5 coupon is nothing). But with MGM they are a one platform digital provider so it only works on iTunes. If you want VUDU you have to purchase from them for $19.99 in 4K. But at least now when I do a marathon I can go through the entire character journey in UHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre just took on too many themes and moved quickly to get to the big events without solid buildup. It isn't horrible. It just felt like a letdown as a follow-up to Skyfall. theCapraAegagrus, Larryw7 and eastriver400 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
