This week at the top of our picks is the drama The Hate U Give from 20th Century Fox. The movie, based on the novel from Angie Thomas, hits stores on Blu-ray, 4k Blu-ray and DVD, as well as On Demand to rent. The Blu-ray combo editions include a DVD or Blu-ray, HD or 4k Digital Copy, and several pieces of bonus content including six featurettes. Price: $19.96 (Blu-ray) $24.96 (4k Blu-ray) on Amazon.
Universal Pictures’ First Man may not have reached expectations — both at the box office and with critics — but it does feature some great cinematography and music from Linus Sandgren and Justin Hurwitz, both of whom worked with director Damien Chazelle on La La Land. As such, we suggest the 4 Blu-ray edition that’s presented in 4k with High Dynamic Range and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Both combo editions include an extra disc and plenty of extras. Price: $19.99 (Blu-ray) $24.99 (4k Blu-ray) on Amazon.
Other highlights this week include How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2 on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Oceans: Our Blue Planet on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray, Killjoys: Season Four, Johnny English Strikes Again on Blu-ray, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Set 3 in a Limited Edition Blu-ray edition.
