Flash Gordon

Watched this countless times never tired of it Has a great cast GORDONS ALIVE!!!

Leaving aside the film itself (you already know if you love it or hate it), the 4K Dolby Vision upgrade is fantastic. From the opening scene the colours impress; Dale Arden’s red/orange blouse is vibrant and pure to the multi hued skies with the rockets arrival on Mars. This isn’t a simple pumping up of the colours; skins, faces and Flash’s white T shirt look natural in no way artificial or overly radiant. An excellent 4k restoration, and the Dolby Vision HDR keeps the comic book colouring, costumes and sets well.

Brilliant movie and amazing in 4K, please add iTunes extras and this would be perfect.

Looks amazing in 4k, the opening credits with that Queen soundtrack never sounded so good, switch on your 4k TV, turn up your ATMOS AMP and feel the love!!!

and it’s all the better for it. Great cast and script, awesome visuals for its day, and fantastic soundtrack.

But I’m puzzled I already own this film, I bought it several years ago from ITUNES!? 4K!

4K...This is going to be worth the purchase. Great classic.

What a great film, full of then young superstars in a magical story that every young boy wanted to be in back in the early 80’s. No digital effects, all practical and bring a genuine feel to the film. Watch it and fall in love with it!

There is a good reason this film is ingrained in the mind of anyone who lived through the 80s. Brian Blessed, a young Timothy Dalton and Blue Peters Peter Duncan among others. Camp, crazy and a comic book treat for the senses. Perfect nostalgia trip in HD.

Great nostalgia and lots of fun. But I guess instead of reviewing the movie, why don't we just post butthurt messages about the fact it's only available to rent in a certain window of time which has nothing to do with iTunes or Apple and is determined by the studio rights holders who sign distribution agreements which are constantly changing with TV channels, online streaming platforms and digital download stores, consequently resulting in periods of time when certain movies are only available to rent and not buy, or during which the price may fluctuate accordingly? Yeah let's do that, and let's keep doing it every single time we find a movie on iTunes which is only available to rent and not buy, as if Tim Cook is sitting in his office deciding to make certain movies unavailable for purchase because it's part of some crackpot idea to annoy you.
