Intense, Hard to Watch, Yet Compelling
on August 13, 2017
Posted by: jcurbaniak
from Homosassa, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent acting and intense action scenes in this compelling tale of the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. Hard to watch because you know what is coming. The background of various victims pre-bombing is described which makes it that much more upsetting. Not a recommended film for the squeamish and/or sensitive.
The brothers are shown as truly evil with no shred of human empathy and compassion. Thank goodness they never made to New York their next bombing site.

Hard to Get HDR working
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: jcurbaniak
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a heck of a time getting HDR to work. Be sure:
1) Your firmware is up to date for the Sony X800, your A/V receiver, and your HDTV.
2) Your need to do a power reset to unplug, wait a few minutes, the re-plug each device above in turn.
3) Each of the above devices must support HDCP 2.2 and UHD.
4) Check your receiver and your HDTV for any advanced HDMI settings for the ports you are using for UHD.
5) Make sure your HDMI cables support 18 Gps transfer rate and deep color. If not sure just get new cables. Not that expensive. Monoprice has a great selection of cables with lifetime warranties.
Once you get all that in place the HDR is just beautiful.

One of the Best Baseball Themed Movies Ever Made
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: jcurbaniak
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although fictional, parts of this epic baseball film have counterparts in real events. Captures many of the lows and highs of the game. But more than the sport, this tale is also about characters striving for their dreams. Highly recommended.

Powerful view of the stress and danger of combat
on March 3, 2017
Posted by: jcurbaniak
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a graphic and powerful recreation of an actual event in Somalia in 1993. Not for the squeamish and pulls no punches. Gives a great appreciation of what our service members go through in combat.

A Mash-up of Harry Potter and X-Men
on February 19, 2017
Posted by: jcurbaniak
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film combines aspects of Harry Potter magic and X-Men mutant powers. Some scenes do not make logical sense, but if not taken too seriously overall the movie is entertaining for what it is. Seems like the possibility was left open for a sequel.

Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton's high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton's crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.

Far Fetched and Extremely Gory

Unless you enjoy a lot of blood letting and an impossible plot, recommend to skip this one and buy something else.

Already had this in 2D, but really wanted to see this epic disaster film in 3D and was not disappointed. This type of movie is perfect for a 3D treatment.
