For a 4K Blu-ray package (6-disc set) of that high caliber (fully loaded with best picture & sound plus special features and all 3 versions included on both 4K and 1080p Blu-ray...Dolby Vision & Dolby Atmos) it is generously priced, very.
Some of us are more into the quality story first; it has to be a good movie or everything else simply don't cut it...Final Cut or not.
For some people the quality picture is the most important part, videophiles for the cinematography, the quality 4K picture transfer, all that image jazz.
For some it's the sound quality that counts first and foremost. They invested in premium sound home theaters with the latest and best sound reproduction as the cinema-maker intended, all speakers and subwoofers all around...full fledged Dolby Atmos home theater with seven or nine speakers @ ground level, your or six elevated ceiling speakers, and two minimum to six subwoofers. Sound is not something they are willing to compromise, just no way.
And a film like Apocalypse Now with the majestic music score and The Doors and all the spund effects wouldn't have the same impact without.
Me, it's everything...the complete package...a film that draws you in and don't let go of your attention in every second from start to finish, and when it's over you are still living the experience days, weeks, months, years after. ...A film that makes an impressive impact on your psyche, that has you in awe, that captivates your brain, your heart and your soul deeply. ...The acting.
The music score, the sounds of the jungle, water, etc., are all part of that storyline experience, there is not one ounce of doubt and that goes for 99% of all flicks. Music speaks emotions.
The cinematography, the eyes behind the camera lenses, the movements and angles of the cameras, the lights, the darkness, the contrasts, ...all related to first grade picture quality is what keeps our two eyes glued on the onscreen action and dialog, every little detail from every scene is a communion in the story. For example: Blade Runner 2049 (premium sound & cinematography and picture quality on 4K Blu-ray...the music score included).
I don't know where some of you fit in all of this, I just know that I fit in all of it.
It's just about to be re-experienced on a higher plateau; and in music as in films that's what it's all about for high-end audiophiles and cinemaphiles ... 110% moving emotional story, acting, filmfilm value experience, sound moving experience and moving pictures experience. It's the full package, just like system synergy between a sota linear tracking turntable, the cart, the phono preamp, the amp, the loudspeakers, the AC power cords, the stereo music record album (or mono), the type of music preference (Classical Opera), ...everything perfectly tuned, adjusted, in harmony, not one millimeter of noise, pure radiance, full delivery, better than live.
Full steam ahead, no stops. Microscopically and macroscopically metamorphosis.
The apotheosis of all six human senses.
