Shrek 2
Director: Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, Conrad Vernon
Actors: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz
PlotHaving settled into a life of peaceful coexistence in the swamp, an ogre and his new wife receive an invitation to visit her parents in the kingdom of Far Far Away. Despite reservations, they embark on the journey, accompanied by their loquacious donkey friend. Upon arrival, the parents are shocked to discover that their daughter has married an ogre and is herself transformed into one. The royal couple's disapproval is obvious, and the visit quickly turns uncomfortable, with tensions escalating between the father and his new son-in-law.
Seeking to rectify the situation and restore his daughter's human form, the king enlists the help of a scheming Fairy Godmother, unaware of her ulterior motive to have her own son marry the princess and ascend the throne. In the midst of these machinations, the ogre and his wife find their relationship tested by the glamorous lifestyle of Far Far Away and by the Fairy Godmother’s manipulations, designed to pull them apart. The couple must confront challenges to their love and identity, as expectations clash with authenticity in a society where appearances are prized above all.

The UHD upgrade of Shrek is decent but not groundbreaking, better for fans; expect a cheaper bundle later.
