Mediocre movie, excellent visuals...

Passengers is a reference-worthy demo title if you want to show someone what 4k and HDR are all about. Everything looks perfect.
The movie itself sets up an interesting moral dilemma, and then bails on it in favor of a typical blockbuster ending. The edges are all rounded off, and what's left is an okay diversion that could have been so much more.

Good movie, silly ending...

Apparently focus groups didn't like the original ending, so it was changed at the last minute. The whole movie builds to a particular ending, and then it's abandoned in the last few minutes. The alternate ending is included on the blu ray, so you can watch it there. Still, overall it's a well done film, and Will Smith is able to carry the film practically on his own.
As far as picture quality goes, there's a noticeable bump in both resolution and color vs. the standard blu ray. This isn't a reference disc (see Lucy for that), but it looks quite good.

Immersive!

This is easily the most immersive PSVR game yet. The Aim controller is so natural, and changes the entire experience. While the gameplay itself is quite simple, it's executed perfectly. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the story is quite short. Still, this game/controller combo is when VR starts to truly feel like reality.

Of the ~15 UHD discs I have, this one has the best picture quality of the bunch. Sharpness, colors, highlights, shadow detail, everything is impeccable.

Great use of HDR and WCG...
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: Bluescale
from Springfield, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
This title does a great job with HDR and wide color gamut usage. The 1080p blu ray was one of the sharpest I've ever seen. Because of digital noise reduction, the overall sharpness of the 4k image is down compared to the 1080p blu ray. That's disappointing, but the HDR and WCG more than make up for it.

Not exactly Dazed and Confused...

...but it feels similar. While perhaps not as insightful, as its spiritual ancestor, it manages to be sweet without being saccharine, and nostalgic without being cloying. It's a movie that's fine with just feeling good, and there's nothing wrong with that.

A good, grim ending...

Verified Purchase:Yes
The final chapter of The Hunger Games does a good job of capturing the heart and feeling of the final book. I don't usually like it when movie series split one book into two movies, but in this case the film makers did this so they could stay true to the content of the books. They managed it well. There are a few changes, but none of them are significant, and the story moves along well and ends satisfactorily. Don't expect to leave feeling great, but perhaps there's hope for Panem after all.

I purchased this case for my wife's new rose gold 6s+. It's one of the nicest looking cases I've seen, and it doesn't add much bulk to the phone.

We loved this movie. The animation style is beautiful and unique. The backgrounds are photo-realistic, while the main characters are almost cartoonish.It's a great effect.

Disappointing...

After Skyfall, my expectations were very high for this film. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The plot is slapdash, and it didn't feel like anyone involved had fun making the movie. This is Bond by numbers rather than a movie with something to say.

Deliver your favorite playlist anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. Control most electric devices through voice activation, or schedule a ride with Uber and order a pizza. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device turns any home into a smart home with the Alexa app on a smartphone or tablet.
 

What accessories are needed when you buy Echo or Echo Dot?

You don't really need any accessories in order for it to work. Standalone, the Echo works as a music player, a way to find information (such as weather and traffic updates), and a way to order things from Amazon and some partners (like Uber and Dominos). To fully utilize the Echo's power, however, you'll want to pair it with other smart home devices such as smart bulbs (Phillips Hue or Lifx) or Logitech Harmony Hub.
