This movie is set in the mid-1920s, with most of the events taking place in New York. Newt, a magizoologist who works for the Ministry of Magic in London, arrives in New York with a case full of magical creatures. His briefcase is accidentally swapped with that of a muggle (called a no-maj in the US) named Jacob Kowalski (played by Dan Fogler) who is trying to get a bank loan to open a bakery. Newt is arrested by an Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States (MACUSA) named Tina Goldstein (played by Katherine Waterston), which is the United States' version of the Ministry of Magic, for breaking magical law by having a case full of magical creatures unprotected. Of course, his case has just cupcakes in it, and when he is released he has to try to track down his case. Jacob inadvertently releases a bunch of magical creatures, and the bulk of the movie involves Newt, Jacob, Tina, and her sister Queenie (played by Alison Sudol) trying to get the creatures back in the case, while also trying to avoid The Director of Magical Security, Percival Graves (played by Collin Farrell) who accuses Newt of conspiring with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (who is also referenced in the later Harry Potter novels and movies).
For those who get the 4K release, there are two discs, a UHD disc with just the movie itself, and then a regular blu-ray disc with the movie and all of the extras. The movie looks and sounds wonderful in UHD, with the special effects looking even better than they did in the last two Harry Potter movies. You can barely tell that the CGI characters are animated at all. The extras include 14 minutes worth of deleted scenes, and 18 different featurettes that are all about 4-5 minutes in length separated into the categories, Characters, Creatures, and Designs. Then there is a 15-minute making-of documentary that features cast and filmmaker interviews.
Overall, the movie is good, but you have to have realistic expectations. While it is set in the Harry Potter world, it is set nearly 70 years before the events of the Harry Potter movies. So, aside from the fact that it is set in the US, it has a totally different feel from the other movies and is not trying to be a carbon copy. It also has more mature and darker themes from the outset (especially when compared with the first couple of Harry Potter movies). It does have some humorous elements, especially between the characters of Jacob and Queenie, but on the whole, it definitely falls into the category of an action-drama. The movie most definitely feels like the first in a movie franchise, setting up a lot of what is to come later. It does a good job of balancing a large ensemble cast that along with those already mentioned, include Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Carmen Ejogo, and Ron Perlman. Ultimately, I think if you are expecting another Harry Potter movie, you will be disappointed. If, however, you accept that this is a new story set within the same Universe as Harry Potter, you will probably like it.
There are epic poems and ballads that are retold for centuries, and there are limericks, probably also with similar staying power. While they're both poetry it's unfair to compare them. So I will not be so cruel as to do that with my quality star rating. However, I will detail what my issues are.
The charm and wonder of the Harry Potter franchise is sorely lacking. Magic abounds but it's more mundane, adult, darker, and doesn't really have any of the warmth that we find in the more youth-oriented version. One of the first magical things we see is a woman getting dressed, and her hearing the thoughts of the man watching her. Child abuse is a theme in both series, but here we get something more visceral, as well as a supposed savior who is aware of the problem but doesn't do anything to permanently solve it through magical or non-magical avenues. It's hard to look at her as a hero for being aware of a problem, and yet she's supposed to be the hero. There's also a lot of magical law involved, and while it's important to say that the laws I'm sure reflect real ones that were institutions but unjust ones, it is still disturbing. The heroine arrests the hero multiple times in an attempt to further her career without any sort of compunction as to whether or not she is doing the right thing. And let me summarize their relationship:
I'm arresting you.
I'm arresting you again.
I'm arresting you again and you're sentenced to death, but I am too, so I'm suddenly on your side because I don't want to die.
I love you.
That is it. Pretty flimsy writing, awful and distasteful characters. Imagine a watered down Dolores Umbridge as the star of a romance film and here you are. The whimsy of the movie is the creatures, and somewhat their caretaker, but it's a heavy-handed love the environment cautionary tale. I appreciate the message but wouldn't necessarily pay for a movie to say it to me for an hour or more. I wanted to like it, and in many ways I do, but I'm also disappointed. The only real value this has is a continuation of Harry Potter and that world, for which Harry Potter fans will always be desperate for any scrap of. This could have had more effort, thought, and cheer put into it and been a more interesting and beloved film. A bit like cashing in on the popularity of previous efforts, perhaps like The Hobbit films compared to Lord of the Rings.
Newt did a good job of relatably portraying a person outside of typical behaviors, Queenie and Jacob were relatively charming as comic relief, and the Javert of the MACUSA Tina Goldstein did a great job being unlikable in all ways.

And now after watching it on this Blu-ray, I understand what I was missing all this time :: an awesome movie with superb special effects and a really impressive audio mix. It's a dark film (what else do you expect from David Yates) although it has its lighter moments and is filled up with amazing creatures and some outstanding action setpieces. A really good addition to the Potter franchise.
Picture Quality : 5/5
As I mentioned, my theatrical viewing of this movie was horrible. But this Blu-ray defines how drastically different home theater experiences can be. Not a colorful film by any means, this is a beautiful video which appears very much true to the source. The picture is sharp and extremely detailed. There is not a thread out of place. Everything is clear and pristine leaving this disc with full marks.
Audio Quality : 5/5
This disc comes with Dolby Atmos and is a reference mix, no less. Since I do not have a Atmos receiver, the disc plays in TrueHD 7.1. And believe me sound appears to come from every corner of the room. Even from places where there are no speakers at all. Amazing!! You have to hear it to believe it. The sounds made by the various creatures zoom and swirl around the room. Surround speakers are almost always active filled with various discretely placed sound effects. Bass is extremely punchy and is powerful enough to shake your room. The front soundstage is wide and terrific. This is an immersive mix done so nicely that any action scene can easily be used as demo material. There is also a redundant 5.1 DTS-HD audio option available. Hoping for The Crimes of Grindelwald Blu-ray to be as good if not better.

The Fantastic Beast was a feast however to me and my family. Really nice to meet a new set of characters in a slightly different setting with ties to the original material.
Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the movie with it's many funny moments.
Enjoyable journey that follows the introvert Newt Scamander through gothic New York during the jazz-age in a visually stunning spectacle, with a recognizable soundtrack. It's great that the story liberated itself from Hogwart's that started to feel increasingly tired.
I'm sure there could be complains about the story line or how this movie clashes with the Potter canon, but we had a great evening of high quality entertainment with the family.
We buy 3D Blu Ray’s where possible. You pay up for it but they enhance a great family-film evening. Fantastic Beasts in 3D looks very sharp and natural on our fairly high-end Oled LG TV, that gets supported by proper surround sound. I must say I tend to like 3D viewing more at home than in cinema’s these days. And this movie in 3D is particularly well-done; all looks very pleasant and natural to watch without excessive blast and parts flying towards your face.
The set also includes a digital copy. Nice in a sense. But I get very frustrated by the fact that I now have to run 4 different apps from movie studios each filled with their own digital copy format; iTunes, Flixster/Ultraviolet, Googleplay ect. And so far there is no proper way to integrate my collections of digital copies. Moreover, most will require wifi, which is not always available when travelling. Until this is being addressed these digital copies remain a half-baked freebie in support of self-copies.
こういうかわいいトランクに憧れていて、映画を見てもっと欲しくなってしまいこんな機会無いぞと思いぽちりと。
トランクは普段使いとしては私自身粗忽なので傷つきそうで怖くてできませんが、同人イベントの卓上計器やお菓子の差し入れ等で使用してます。めちゃくちゃ便利です。
数年経ってしまったので側面の接着が弱くなり剥がれてきましたが、自分で貼り直せばいいかぐらいです。
鍵部分は使用した事により初期よりは緩くなってきたかな…?レベルで、最近だと勝手に開いてしまってる時がありますが、映画内のシーンの再現みたいでそれも楽しいです。
サイズも映画内の実際のサイズより小さいので、そこも持ち運びが楽で非常に満足しています。
