The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K Ultra HD Steelbook)

Its like October 20,2023. I love the game and play it all the time. I was Excited when the trailer came out and I could not wait to see it. Then the news its HBO. Paid TV. Oh No. So I thought go to website and use prepaid card. No. Prepaid Card are not accepted. So I Enjoyed checking out the reaction videos and getting a glimpse of what people a saying. So today I'm on Amazon and thought I would research the title and see what is out there. Those Action figures look cool. Then there it is. Season 1 on DVD or blu-ray. I am very Happy that Amazon is able to get this HBO Film into my hands! How much can I say... Naughty dog has really done it again.... The only problem I have is the sound was way too low. I found out using my PS4 controller it has a 3.5 head phone input. so I can use this to run the sound out. Not a great ideal when charging controller because interference. Once controller is charged then Show Time. This film is a must see.... the writer's really bring out the story for the people who played the game, and similar to the game, its fast moving and easy to follow for those who are watching a movie. I'm so happy for this October. (Update 2024 I cannot wait until the 2nd season is released. When Ellen meets her... Official Video Lewis Capadi "Before you Go".....)

SEASON 1 IS VERY GOOD

This was a good story. The zombies were really fun guys. They were strong fast and not completely stupid. The little girl is annoying at first but quickly grows on you. Her protector is similar as he does not seem like a good guy at first. He also will win you over as the story and quest continues. I think the gay episode was kind of a sidetrack that didn’t really add to the story. If that sort of thing bothers you just skip it. It won’t affect the rest of the story. I didn’t mind it but it should have added. Maybe I missed something but didn’t see much point to it. Melanie Lynsky was a psychopath and she did well with the part. She was ominous and scary. I saw one review that seemed to think it was an attack on Christians. I thought it was more of an attack against people who exploit the faithful. I liked how it was handled. Get ready for a heck of an ending. Sometimes the right choice is subjective. IMHO the hero did the right thing. If an individual doesn’t matter the collective matters less. When things are at the worst it is more important than ever to be good. Even the rather mercenary smuggler chose to be good when it mattered.

So first of all, a personal must own on physical 4K UHD. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos quality are superb! So I’ve seen multiple reviews stating it’s “not exactly like the game” type comments. I’ve yet to see a film adaptation that represents the source material exactly. This can be a good thing though. Some episodes are so true to the game it’s insane. I knew the dialogue before it was spoken. We also get to see content that is brand new that’s honoring the game’s central message: love, and what you’ll do for people you love. Seeing things from a different angle is refreshing, but talking about this more goes into spoiler territory. The special features and extras included are really cool by the way. I also love that the packaging is slimming, taking the same storage space as a single disc release (all discs are 4K only). I do feel that season 1 is a bit rushed. It could’ve been twice the length as some (arguably) important content for them to utilize was surprisingly absent. I know that sounds hypocritical to my “not like the game” comment, just missed opportunities of further immersion. Those who haven’t enjoyed the game won’t notice this though. Final point, the series and the game aren’t codependent on each other. Enjoy the series. Enjoy the game. Two separate masterpieces I very highly suggest. Kindly support physical media!

Amazing show based on an amazing game. The show is character driven more than event or environment driven unlike most in the "zombie movie" genre. The tone is pretty dark for large parts of the show but it highlights the kind, brave and capable traits of some of the characters although many of the same characters are highly flawed. Definitely not a casual watch.

A decent adaptation of one of my favorite video games. Not sold on the casting choices, but the show had some great moments.

I love last of us from the games and the first season of the show. Pedro pascal became my fav actor

I'd seen clips from the series on YouTube and wanted to see the full series. But subscribing to another streaming service was too expensive, so I waited for the DVD set to come out. Never have played any video game, but am a Pedro Pascal fan, and the story is a touching, intense, thought-provoking and well-done drama, with definite comic moments. Everyone in it is great, though Pedro and Bella Ramsey take the cake. The 4-disc DVD set has plenty of extras. Looking forward to the next season!

MUY BUEN PRODUCTO

quite boreing in parts

Much better series than I expected

Fantastisk serie - trogen mot spelet story men tar lite egna utvecklingar på ett positivt vis. Väldigt stark och bra serie, rekommenderas starkt om du gillar spelen! Som vanligt, ruskigt bra och snabb leverans med Prime!

Bought this a while ago for the cover and to go alongside the games. It looks as nice as I thought it would and was a decent buy looking back to have in the collection.
