JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy's inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert de Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell's previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.

Started slow but gets better as it goes

As the movie starts, it lays the foundation of the situation of the main character. I was thinking this was typical single mom being over-burden with life's challenges. Once she determines to overcome all her challenges, this is where it gets good. From her determination to make a better life for herself and tough decisions involved, I enjoyed it quite a bit. FYI, I can say my mom owns one of the mops depicted from the story as she purchases quite a bit from QVC.

Ultimate Edition is an improvement

Since this is the 3D version, I'll start to say this aspect of the movie is fine. The depth of the scenes is nice but there are no real "WOW" moments. If you are on the fence about 3D, then you may want to get the non-3D version. Also the 3D is only the theatrical cut, in which the new ultimate cut is better and fleshes out the story much more.

Not worth your time

In short, disappointed. For those who remember, this is basically Flatliners, which is a better movie. Maybe I was expecting more or a different twist but it was quickly over which in this case, was a good thing.

Ok, maybe a good watch once

Verified Purchase:Yes
I read good reviews about this as it isn't the typical thriller. With a Christmas theme, you don't see many just because this time of year should be a happy time. After watching, this movie is really out there. While I recommend watching once just for the uniqueness, it is something you may not watch again.

Disappointed

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a horror movie goes, it is much more drama. While it picks up near the end, there isn't enough thrills to satisfy me. I just couldn't get into the what is not seen but implied type of thrills it offers. It has a good premise but the execution was poorly delivered. Overall, very disappointed from start to finish.

Excellent replacements

I own quite a few Blu-ray movies and these are a perfect investment to preserve your movies. I have had cases come cracked or spindles broke when ordering online. I also don't care for the eco-cases some production companies use. So I have purchased a couple packages and will buy more as my collection grows.

I was expecting more but got less

I haven't read any of the books but I thought they could have done more with this. It isn't a very long movie and that is probably ok for the target audience but it was a bit flat. As for the 3D, that was underwhelming as well. If you are a fan of the books, then you might be satisfied.

As far as remakes go, not bad.

While the original is better, I do appreciate the new take on this movie. While the story line is similar, it has more of the extreme sports/events that are contemporary. As far as action movies go, I would recommend.

Extra storage as a reasonable price.

I got this on sale as my wife needed storage for all her pictures. We just learned a lesson on not backing up data. With the size of this drive, it could hold all her pictures as a backup/portable solution.

Exactly what I needed.

I had an older PC that the power supply was zapped by an electrical surge. The hard drive held many important documents and pictures and we didn't have a backup. So I purchased this item, removed the hard drive from the zapped PC and attached to our current PC. We now have access to all the information on this hard drive. Really helped us out and was also cheaper than buying a new power supply.

will this work if i use my cisco router to this netgear wi fi range extender?
I am currently using with a Linksys router, which I believe is part of the Cisco family. It works great except it has dropped the connection a couple times. I am not sure if I can blame the router.
