Get ready for one of the year’s most incredible 4K Blu-ray box set offers, just in time for the Halloween horror movie sale! The Stanley Kubrick 3-Film 4K Collection is now available at a limited-time price of only $24.49. Originally launched in 2020 with an $85 MSRP, this superb 7-disc set brings together three of Kubrick’s most iconic and influential films: ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ (1968), ‘The Shining’ (1980), and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ (1987). This deal means you’re essentially getting each movie for a remarkable $8.16, a substantial saving compared to purchasing the standalone 4K editions separately, which would typically cost $51.66 for the trio.
This sought-after Kubrick 3-Film Collection has already sold out multiple times, confirming its immense value at the $24.49 price. While a major online retailer estimates a mid-November delivery, if you’re eager to enjoy ‘The Shining’ by Halloween, you might find the Kubrick 4K Collection available for $25 from another Blu-ray vendor through the same online platform. Remember that such popular deals tend to disappear quickly!
The Stanley Kubrick 3-Film Collection is a premium 7-disc slipcase box set, featuring three 4K UHD Blu-ray discs alongside four 1080p Blu-rays. Each film is presented in its own case, mirroring the individual 4K releases of ‘The Shining,’ ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ and ‘Full Metal Jacket.’
Kubrick’s films, when given the 4K treatment, are consistently stunning. ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ for instance, looks so incredibly sharp in 4K that it’s hard to believe it was filmed in 1968. This is a native 4K restoration sourced from the original 70mm wide HD film, complete with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ is the most comprehensive film in this box set. In addition to its 4K disc, it includes a standard Blu-ray with optional audio commentary and a dedicated bonus Blu-ray disc filled with documentaries, interviews, retrospectives, and other behind-the-scenes content.
Co-written by Arthur C. Clarke and Kubrick, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ stands as one of cinema’s most influential science fiction films.
Equally impactful, Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel ‘The Shining’ is widely regarded as a horror film benchmark. Its 4K UHD restoration is as remarkable as ‘2001,’ featuring Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The bonus Blu-ray disc contains four additional videos, including a 35-minute making-of documentary and a 26-minute featurette on the set design. It also boasts an engrossing audio commentary narrated by John Baxter, Kubrick’s biographer, and Garrett Brown, the inventor of the Steadicam camera stabilizer used in the film’s production.
‘Full Metal Jacket,’ celebrated as one of the most distinctive and eccentric films about the Vietnam War, truly shines on 4K Blu-ray. Although it supports HDR10 rather than Dolby Vision, the visual presentation remains superb, complemented by an impressive DTS-HD surround sound track. The Blu-ray bonus disc offers approximately 30 minutes of cast interviews and an optional audio commentary featuring several actors and writers.
These three films, carefully selected for this collection, powerfully demonstrate Kubrick’s unparalleled ability to master diverse genres and create films that defied conventions.
It’s also worth highlighting that the recent Limited Edition Steelbook for ‘Full Metal Jacket’ is currently on sale at its lowest price since its release in April. Beyond its striking collectible steelbook case, this edition of ‘Full Metal Jacket’ offers the same high-quality content as the version found in the box set. It’s a fantastic opportunity to own a collectible 4K Blu-ray of one of Kubrick’s masterpieces for under $20.
More Stanley Kubrick Films on 4K Blu-ray
The majority of Kubrick’s filmography has been meticulously restored in stunning 4K UHD resolution in recent years. His final cinematic work, the 1999 drama ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ is slated to join The Criterion Collection on November 25. This edition will be available for preorder in both 4K Blu-ray and standard 1080p Blu-ray. Criterion’s restoration presents the uncut, international version of ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ which notably differs from the US theatrical release that was censored by Warner Bros. to achieve an R-rating. A popular online retailer is currently offering a 30% preorder discount, bringing the 4K Blu-ray edition’s price down to $35 from its original $50.
This release marks ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ as the second Kubrick film to receive the Criterion 4K treatment, following the historical drama ‘Barry Lyndon,’ which was released in 4K Blu-ray in July. Another recent and noteworthy offering comes from The Film Vault: new Steelbook Editions of ‘The Shining.’ These region-free imports are available for purchase through a major online storefront with free shipping from its UK warehouse. ‘The Shining Special Edition Steelbook’ is priced at $84 and comes with a range of collectibles such as art cards, two posters, a cigar box with original artwork, and an acetate slipcover. A more streamlined ‘Solus Steelbook’ version, featuring just the collectible case and acetate slipcover, can be acquired for $47.66.
