5 STAR MOVIES - BUT - ONE-STAR-DESERVING PROBLEM - BECAUSE
The movies themselves=5 stars - BUT - BE WARY: THESE DVDs WILL NOT HAVE AUDIO AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT BECAUSE OF BEING WATERMARKED WITH CINAVIA, which makes its sound un-playable on certain BluRay players moment to moment. The reason for this is as follows: through the combined efforts of Digital Rights Management with established Advanced Access Content System regulations, all licensed BluRay players manufactured from 2012 onwards have mandatory Cinavia watermarking detection support installed. This, of course, is a very good thing so that copyrighted digital materials can be protected. Nevertheless, do your homework before purchasing this collection. You may very well find you cannot enjoy what you've spent funds and waited with excitement to receive. I give this sale one star because this issue has been overlooked and not made clear. Here are some ways to get the audio back if you run into this problem:
(1) pause (usually 15-30 seconds) until Cinavia code screen (blocking the movie as it continues without sound) disappears - then - press play
(2) put in a different disc (BluRays preferable) - let it play for at least ten minutes - then put the movie back in and resume
