Best of the Set Top Boxes
on August 24, 2016
Posted by: Robert38
from Iowa
I own all of the main set top boxes, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, and prior Apple TV models. Of all that I have owned and used, the Apple TV 4th Gen is the best when it comes to ease of use. I first got the box back in December of 2015 and since then regular software updates have made using the Apple TV an experience that outshines all others.
The biggest win for Apple TV is how it uses the Siri functions in the remote control. The voice function works across all apps and within apps to do searches and find content to watch. There are simply too many things to list here, but it is easy to say that it far exceeds what other set top boxes can do. It is a much more intuitive experience that makes finding content to watch easier then ever. The only negative is that there is no Amazon Prime app, but you can Airplay Amazon content from the Prime App on your iPhone or iPad. It would be nice to have this integrated as an app that is included in the search function. Even without a Prime app though the Apple TV is still the best box I have used.
Lastly you can play games on the Apple TV, i would recommend getting a game controller for the best experience. Some of the games are actually pretty good and there is enough processing power under the hood to make the gameplay pretty smooth. I have found in fact that a few games play much smoother on the Apple TV then they do on my iPad air 2.
Overall this is a great box that keeps getting better with updates.

I was not a big fan of this movie when I saw it in theaters. I did not dislike it per say just was hoping for a little more. The story and many of the scenes were predictable and bordering on "cheesiness." I was especially aware of these things when I saw it in the theater and it annoyed me. The second time I watched it here on the blu-ray I took it for what it was meant to be, a popcorn movie, and I enjoyed it much more.
The first thing you will notice about this movie on a good home theater system is the huge audio. The narration at the beginning of the film comes across very loud, clear, and present in the room. With an uncompressed audio system you will hear the massive dynamic range this film's soundtrack has to offer from start to finish.
The video is equally as impressive. I watched it on a 100 inch projection screen and it was amazing looking. The film was shot with the smaller 1:85:1 aspect ratio which means it fills up your whole screen with no black bars. This made the 100 inch screen experience that much better but it looks pretty awesome on my 58 inch Panasonic LED as well. Just a really, really good image here.
There are also a lot of extras as well making this an outstanding blu-ray disc. If you saw it once and kind of liked it or loved it you should definitely get this. If you are looking for a home theater "show-off" disc this is a must have.
What's great about it: Audio, video, extras
What's not so great: A little cheesy.

I had not seen this movie for quite a long time and just picked it up the other day during the Black Friday sales. By far this is the best sounding and looking version of the film that I have seen. Even though this is an older movie Blu-ray brings it back to life as if it was new. The visual effects do seem a little dated at times but overall this is still one of my favorite films made even better on this blu-ray disc.
What's great about it: Awesome audio and picture.
What's not so great: Nothing I can think of.
