Don't Get It
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie seems to be loved by everyone but I thought it wasn't very good. I have liked 1-3 but this one was only average. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend and wouldn't even rent it. Picture quality of 4K was excellent (as to be expected) as well as the sound.

Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska are working for the mysterious Charles Townsend, whose investigative agency has expanded internationally. The new Angels are among the world's smartest, bravest, and most highly trained women all over the globe. Under the guidance of Bosley (Elizabeth Banks), the Angels have to protect a revolutionary technology from becoming weaponized. They will have to rely on each other as their assignment becomes increasingly treacherous and even those closest to them can no longer be trusted.

Average Movie
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie was just OK. It would be good as a rental but as a 4K purchase I was disappointed. I've become used to 4K so I expect great picture all the time so I can't really review the picture quality. I didn't have it turned up so can't really comment on the sound.
End result rent it don't buy it.

Not Enough History
on February 21, 2020
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed the movie a lot. Unfortunately the overall history is missing. I haven't watched the documentary yet so it maybe there.
As for the quality of picture it was standard 4K looking. The sound traveled when expected and made the movie more enjoyable.
I would buy this movie again if it was upgraded to 8K.

Us Vs Them
on June 28, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
You'll have to watch the extras to understand the "Summary" title. This got great reviews and it deserved them. At first I couldn't figure out where it was going but then it kicked in. I liked it better than GET OUT his previous film. I got it in 4K and it looked great. I did not look at the blu to see if there were strong differences. Universal is now doing what Sony does by forcing their 'extras' right after the movie plays. Not a bad idea but just something interesting.

I Love This Movie
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the movie. It's been out a while so I should need to explain it. The 4K picture (and sound) are great and at the price worth the upgrade. I paid more for my blu version when it came out then this 4K release. If you don't have it it's worth picking up. If you are into 4K it's cheap enough to upgrade for better picture and sound

Didn't Know What To Expect
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw a trailer for this and it looked very interesting. "No one can die in ..." So I wasn't sure if it was going to be a horror film or a supernatural film. As it rolled out I wondered if it was ripping off another film from the 80s. I invited my daughter to watch and we both scratched our heads trying to figure it out. In the end it's a bit of a surprise but not. It's a slow burn but the pay off isn't as good as hoped for.

Picture Quality 4K
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was hoping to find this at BB. I knew one store had it out of my area. I was happy to stumble across it in my local BB. This is Kino's first 4K film and it looked really good. I did not do a Blu to 4K comparison but the picture looked fantastic. Not all movies are mastered for 4K but they can still look better than their Blu counter part. Worth picking up if interested. The price was a lot cheaper than Kino's or Amazon's price.

This was an excellent movie. I knew was supposed to be good via word of mouth. Both my wife and I enjoyed it very much. Didn't know what to expect which didn't matter. The story was engaging and the characters were very real.

Fun - Thor Style

The movie was good. Had a comedic edge like Thor. I didn't know what it was going to be like. I enjoyed it more than Wonder Woman. It fits nice into the Marvel world. If you like the Thor movies then you'll like this one.

Expected Something It's Not
on June 14, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
Verified Purchase:Yes
From the trailer, this looked like this was a 90 minute vigilante woman story. She righted wrongs to help other women. Well..... it sort of starts out that way (sort of like the latest Dragon Tattoo film) but then it gets psychological and she doesn't really right that many wrongs. I found the movie average in that sense. I was hoping for more and got less. NOT an action movie.

Enhance the quality of your home theater or audio system with this Klipsch subwoofer kit. It adds to the capabilities of a WA port-equipped Klipsch subwoofer (not included) by extending the powerful bass anywhere you want for the best possible sound quality. This wireless Klipsch subwoofer kit is easy to set up thanks to its plug-and-play technology.

Not Normal Klipsch Quality
By CraigB from Texas
Pros
Receiver mounts cleanly on support subs with special hangers
Allows you to place subwoofer where you want
Sender and receiver are factory paired
Cons
Proprietary connection for receiver unit limits use
RCA Cable on sender feels cheap and doesn’t hold well
When connected subwoofer emits random rumbling sounds
When connected subwoofer doesn’t seem to enter standby
Seems to reduce overall bass output
Although many people think you can place a subwoofer anywhere in room, audiophiles know better. Proper subwoofer placement, particularly for a single sub setup, is critical for maximizing the quality of sound emitted. When placed poorly you will have dead spots in the bass in the room and possibly even distortion. That is where the Klipsch WA-2 comes in.
The Klipsch WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit allows you to connect your supported Klipsch subwoofer to your receiver/amplifier wirelessly with little fuss while placing it exactly where you need. The concept sounds perfect, but unfortunately the execution leaves a little to be desired.
The kit is very easy to install. The receiver has one proprietary plug that connects to a support Klipsch subwoofer and the unit hands off two posts available on the back of the sub. The sender is more universal with a standard power adapter and L/R RCA cable. The sender and receiver come paired from the factory but also offer sync button as well as sync status light. The first bit of confusion is when connecting the sender to a receiver. The instructions say if you have receiver has an L/FE or single output then you connect that line with a single plug, on the supplied cable, to the L/FE plug on the receiver. The problem is the sender has no L/FE plug. It only has a left and right. The only way to determine the correct connection is to either guess or look carefully at where the diagram indicates you plug it in. Although not critical and relatively easy to figure out it is odd for Klipsch to make such an error.
What is more important is performance. To start, the included RCA cable is extremely cheap feeling. It holds onto the port with 4 very weak wings normally found on budget RCA cables. This causes the cable to never really have a firm connection introducing noise at random. If you connect it to the receiver and push the unit back into a cabinet, you can easily dislodge it just enough to introduce a low buzz. To make matters worse, something about the connection either in the wireless signal or the cheap cable causes the subwoofer to randomly thump and rumble randomly. The level is very low making you think it might be coming from outside or somewhere else. Upon closer inspection you will find it is in fact coming from the subwoofer. Using a good quality direct connection product produces no such thumps and rumbles. Another downside is it seems to reduce the overall bass of the subwoofer. With a hardwired setup connected to a Klipsch R-115S a setting of -6.5db is optimal and produces clean, noise free bass. With the WA-2 kit, the same subwoofer needs to be set to 0.0db an still seems to not have the same pressure in low frequency scenes.
While the idea of the WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit is a good one the implementation needs some refinement. For now, you are better of sticking with a hardwired setup or a different wireless kit. If you must use the WA-2, then at the very least a change of the RCA cable is recommended. Hopefully future generations of the product will fix the shortfalls as good wireless sub kits are hard to find.

Random thump annoying
September 17, 2019
I too purchased this wireless kit and threw away the cheap RCA cables. After several weeks of ownership I kept hearing this thump (what I thought was outside). After a week of this I realized it was the subwoofer thumping as if it was being switched on and off. I just needed to second the comments this owner submitted.
