One of my complaints about digital versions of films and television is that the extras are often not included. Closer inspection shows that a bunch of “DVD extras” have been attached to the end of the film. There isn’t a super-long “Director’s Cut” as far as I’m aware. The film actually runs just over two hours, but my version seems to run another 50 minutes or so. I somehow ended up with the “Bonus version” of the excellent Denis Villeneuve thriller. Only with the film Sicario was I presented with seemingly two identical options. Once to select the title, and to select soundtrack and subtitle options, and once to add the film to my collection.įor the most part, this was easy. So instead of clicking a big button once, I had to click each title a couple of times. The only oddity was that I had to migrate each title individually.
FLIXSTER COLLECTION SERIES
Not only did my entire 37 film and TV series collection migrate seamlessly, even the title that had been unavailable – Lost Horizon (1937) – is now viewable via Google. The answer, I’m pleased to report, is none. So how many more would be lost in the move to Google? Previously I’d questioned how easy that would be, noting that at least one film in my collection was actually no longer available on Flixster. The Flixster website is shutting down in December, and I’d need to migrate my digital collection to Google. Well last week, that time finally came to pass. A few weeks back I noted that Flixster would be closing soon and had written to me to say that my film collection would transition to Google Play.
