It's more about nostalgia.. When I was 8 years old, Harry Potter, Lotr and Matrix (also Star Wars, but Disney fcked it up for me recently) were coming out and since then it's my holy trinity of franchises (not that I understood Matrix back than 🤣, I was glad I could watch it behind my mum's back). So I'd like to have all these as a whole collection experience.
Also I was getting these movies as DVD releases for Christmases, birthdays and I liked the bonuses and menu theme music, commentaries, etc. But I don't like the physical part of that media. I'd have to buy bd drive or player, which are expensive in Czechia, also empty bd media is costly and most of all not comfortable to play.
So I could straight away buy original released 4k bluray but I really don't want to spend money on something like that (I don't have much money anyway), I also don't want to give to rich mf of wb any of my money (they have more than enough) and I'd prefer digital copies cause it's comfy and I have a lot of free space.
I’m sure some are out there. But it’s far easier to find a 4K REMUX file which maintains the original video and audio (and usually commentary tracks as well). But you do lose the video extras, behind the scenes etc.
A good playback app like Plex, Kodi, or Infuse (AppleTV) will present the files in a nice looking way.
Yeah, I've been using Kodi for a long time. As I said it's just about nostalgia and collection.
