Amazing!

Very submersive! This is one game though, that you need some room. Most other games, you can just sit in a chair. This one requires a lot of hand movement. Thus, if you have drinks, etc.. near you. They will be in the way. The game recommends standing. Still, it's awesome! The opening scene is pretty wild and a bit scary when you think how they could develop the technology to be even more real. Imagine the possibilities!

Great movie, 4k quality is just OK.

I am not going to review the movie. Check out Rotten Tomatoes. The 4K quality is the real draw. Is it good? Well, it's just OK. I would say it's not much better than an upscaled Blu-ray disc. It's hard to find a great 4k film. I can only think of a couple. Revenant is the best example.

This thing is very cool! It works well with the regular Ps4. However, I understand it to be a little less pixelated if you go with the Pro. I fully plan to do that, now that I have the PSVR. Obviously, some games are better than others. I can't wait to see this whole concept evolve. Eventually, I'd like to see VR in 4k! For now, I would still say it's worth the money.

The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

There just hasn't been many movies to compare to some to the earlier 4k releases as far a 4k quality. This isn't one of them. It's just ok. The movie itself, is great. If your looking to showcase your 4k player - Stick with Revenant, Sicario, Deadpool. .

I Love This Movie!
on January 6, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is fantastic! The picture quality is very good! It's always challenging though with animated pictures, to judge the 4k quality. In most cases with animated films, the blu-ray version is upscaled to equal quality. However, this is probably the one movie that I would get in 4k. Any other animated movie, get the blu ray version.

Great movie, very good picture quality
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: swhmetta
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie was great. However, movie reviews can be seen on other sites. What matters here is the 4k quality. I would give it a 4 out of 5 for picture quality. That's pretty decent when I can only think of 2 other movies in the 5 star image quality range. (Sicario and Revenant) - I won't get into techical stuff because it's going to depend on your TV.

Where is the "Add to Cart" option? It says its "available" but when I click on "store pickup" says no store within 250 miles has it, so where is the "add to cart" option?

Unfortunately, you can't trust their website. I stopped in a Best Buy that was supposedly sold out. I was fortunate to pick one up for $350 due to a Target price match. Well worth the money!

Samsung JS8500 Series UN65JS8500FXZA LED Smart 4K Ultra HDTV: This Samsung SUHD TV continues to push the envelope of high-definition picture quality, revealing brilliant colors and stunning scene lighting that goes beyond standard 4K Ultra HD. It's also capable of connecting with apps, browsing the Web, and screen mirroring with smart devices over a Wi-Fi connection.
 

Curious as to everyone's calibration settings. Trying to match store settings, but obviously not very easy. Any recommendations?

Use a combination of Rtings and Consumer reports. Rtings alone are a little dark. Never use the store settings. They are meant for very bright lights.

Which would you buy - assuming prices are equal at $1999 tomorrow? JS8500 or the Vizio P65-C1? I'd throw the KS8000 in but price won't drop fast.

JS8500. However, the prices are down for the KS8000. I'd go with it. The Vizio P is not compatible with Amazon Prime streaming.
