Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Collector’s Edition
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
MLB put this disc out and an 8-disc set also. The 8-disc set was the pennant win and all the seven World Series games in their entirety, while this disc is more the story of the series, and player and fans’ perspectives and reactions. I got the 8-disc set first and then this one. If you are a true fan, you’ll want them both, as they were both great to watch.-Tim Holstad
This movie would have been great if it wasn’t for the pure silliness the writers went with in terms of story. So you want me to believe that the two teams with the longest championsip droughts in all of baseball make it to the World Series at the same time? And one of those two teams takes a 3-1 series lead and then there is a comeback to force a game seven? Then that game goes in to extra innings because of a miraculous comeback? Then there’s a rain delay so the “Gods” have their say? Oh, let’s not forget the guy that’s been out the whole season comes back to help his team win?Completely unbelievable but I still give it five stars because the Cubs won.- Timothy D. Falletti
I can’t say how excited I was for this. A chance to rewatch the games with Pat & Ron, just like I did when it aired? Sign me up! However these games are presented with nothing but the action. Everything is cut out save for the at bats. There is no pregame ceremony or talk, the videos start as the first batter steps into the box with the commentary in mid-sentence, then it cuts away as soon as the third out is recorded, again with the commentary in mid sentence, only to repeat this process for the next half inning. Again and again, throughout the entire span of the games, you get to watch something that feels rushed, clipped, edited down to only the bare minimum. There is no immersive experience. It just trucks along as if it’s just trying to get it over with. I’m very displeased with this.- LoRoK
