The Fate of the Furious [DVD]

The Fate of the Furious is the 8th movie in the "Fast" franchise, so by now, you know what you get. If you cannot suspend your disbelief, the movie is not for you as the action sequences, which are fun, could never be pulled off in real life.This movie sees Dom (Vin Diesel) as the bad guy, seemingly turning his back on the team/family. Of course, not everything is as it seems, as there is a larger plot that plays out throughout the course of the movie. The action sequences are crazy and there is some humor mixed in (including Hobbs and Shaw having to protect a baby while fighting bad guys). This is the movie that really set the stage for the Hobbs and Shaw spinoff as there are several entertaining sequences that include Jason Statham and The Rock. For the most part, the rest of the main cast returns, including Ludacris, Tyrese, Michelle Rodriguez, and Nathalie Emmanuel. Jordana Brewster does not return as her character, Mia, was written out to be off with Brian who retired after Paul Walker passed away. Kurt Russell reprises his role as Mr. Nobody, and the new cast members include Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron.The 4k set is a two-disc set with just the movie itself on the UHD disc and the movie and all the extras on a regular blu-ray disc. The A/V quality of the UHD disc is very good. Probably a tick under "reference quality" video, but for anyone other than a total A/V wonk, it will be fine. The extras include an 8-minute featurette on shooting in Cuba, a four-part featurette about the main characters, a three-part featurette on the car racing culture, a three-part featurette on the stunts, and extended fight scenes. There is a director's commentary on the movie that is included both on the UHD disc and the regular blu-ray. All totaled, the bonus content runs about an hour, give or take.Ultimately, if you like the prior movies, you will probably like this one. If you do not like the prior movies, especially the movies after Tokyo Drift, then you will not like this one. It is totally unrealistic and over-the-top, but that is cooked into the series at this point. Charlize Theron is awesome in her role and definitely seemed to be having fun in this role. If you don't take it too seriously, it is a good, fun action movie.

Burrowed from a friend and saw so now i am collecting all of them and if you like fast cars and great action you should get them

I've really liked all of the Furious movies except for the second and fourth ones, and I particularly liked 5 through 7 with the Rock, so I looked forward to this one. I actually quite liked it right up until the end. No spoilers here...the end didn't upset me, but rather it felt incomplete like it should have lasted longer but they just stopped. I'm happy to see that they plan another two movies, as they need to wrap some stuff up.If you're looking for some nice car action, this won't disappoint. If you're also looking for some absurd vehicle action...well, this won't disappoint. :) Hey, it's a Furious movie, after all. Former street racers are now super agents saving the world. Who would have guessed it 16 years ago? That part aside, it's a fun ride most of the time and a nice action movie. Sure, you need to ignore reality occasionally (well, often), but it's still fun.There's certainly a bit of a twist when it comes to one of the characters from a previous movie, but I liked it.Outside of the ending, which felt lacking but didn't totally suck, the movie as a whole was engaging and fun to watch. If you liked the others, I recommend this one.

Fast and furious I enjoy watching it ,still have to get nine and ten to complete my collection.

Great value and different formats of the movie

Excellent movie in the series! Lot of action and great story line!

As with most Fast and Furious movies, you probably either love them or hate them. And I don't blame you for either. I liked F8 as it has some great action sequences and some interesting twists and turns (no spoilers).As a 4K copy goes, this is another outstanding release in this franchise. If you haven't checked out FF6 & FF7 yet, 4K is the way to go. They are amazingly wonderful copies of the movies. HDR makes the colors pop with vibrancy, especially during action sequences. And the 4K quality is excellent. The level of detail you can see just really helps with the emersion and enjoyment for me.Pick up a copy of this bad boy if you liked some of the other ones.
