I've been re-buying a bunch of films I had on DVD on blu ray. Partially because of the better quality, partially because they sometimes come with extra footage that wasn't on the DVD version and partially because of the extras. I've been getting back into watching the extras from films recently for some reason

[Y 2 Jake]

Sold all of mine off about 10 years ago. Kinda regret it now I can't find some of them on certain services.

I've started collecting blu-rays of my very favourite stuff, or stuff that's hard to find, and thinning out the rest.

Octopussy ☆☆☆

Slot that straight down the middle.

[Alex]

Prey was good. Better than The Predator. On par with Predators. Not as good as Predator 1 or 2

[Y 2 Jake]

Really enjoyable. I'd agree with your ranking. I searched the country looking for a cinema showing.

CGI was dog shit though.

I read somewhere that they were only doing streaming

CGI was shit. But then again I thought the CGI in Jungle Cruise was shit as well and that had a bigger budget. I'm wondering if CGI has hit it's peak
