Overlook the missteps for the entertainment
on August 3, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seeing these movies in sequence brings out a few inconsistencies in some characters but I can easily overlook those missteps for the entertainment value provided. First Class has a little too much exposition for my liking but lays down the foundation for what comes in the later movies. The best of the lot is Days of Future Passed which combines characters from both time frames in an epic way. Apocalypse probably has the best special effects and works best for the 4K format.

Not-for-the-Kiddies Marvel
on August 3, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Definitely for the adults in the room, more so for Deadpool 1 than Deadpool 2, but parents of lil' 'uns beware. These movies are rampant with sexual references, pop culture comments, violence, severed body parts, swear words, and more. Having said all that I still found them both entertaining and funny. It's a sign of great success when a franchise can poke fun at itself and still find an audience for something new while retaining good box office for its fan base on its conventional productions. Having both films packaged together and watching them in tandem brings more depth to some of the dialog that crosses over to the sequel. They are both an irreverent send-up of the Marvel Universe and graphic novel culture in general. The 4K presentation looks superb.

Another Notable Entry to the Marvel Universe
on July 26, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spidey and Iron Man fans should love this one and not just for the repartee between Peter Parker and Tony Stark. It's full of the usual Marvel action and humor and it's a welcome reboot of a youthful character to our favorite cast of super heroes.

4K brings new life to my old DVD memories
on July 26, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my fav quirky movies of all time. Humorous, boisterous, wonderful SFX, snappy dialog, great sets and Chris Tucker rocks his role to the Nth degree. The sets' homage to Blade Runner are evident. There is no shortage of just plain weird, over the top, characters and the transfer to 4K brings new life to my old DVD memories. Although I've seen this movie more than a dozen times, seeing it in 4K was almost like watching it for the first time again..

As stupid proof as it can get!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Easy set up and account management makes this the bargain universal remote of choice. Takes a little getting use to with switching among my 7 devices as I prefer the old fashioned "learning" remotes but they can take up to 2 hours to fully program. This Logitech literally took minutes and my system's remotes were completely integrated. As it turns out, when I mentioned it to a good buddy he told me he has the same one and is very happy with it.

This set features all five films from Steven Spielberg's classic franchise. In Jurassic Park, guests at a theme park featuring genetically revived dinosaurs are forced to fight for their lives when the dinosaurs break free. In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the discovery of a second island populated with vicious dinosaurs creates friction between those that wish to preserve the creatures and those that which to profit from them. In Jurassic Park III, Alan Grant (Sam Neill) is drawn to a dinosaur-covered island by a mysterious couple (William H. Macy and T~a Leoni) searching for their missing son. In Jurassic World, attempts to build a new park on the grounds of the original Jurassic Park go awry when a genetically-modified hybrid dinosaur breaks out. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) return to the abandoned Jurassic World site when a volcanic eruption threatens to wipe out the remaining dinosaurs on the abandoned Jurassic World site, but soon uncover the makings of a global conspiracy.

Dinosaur loving Bargain
on July 19, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Been a fan of JP since first seeing it in theaters in the 1990's. Had the Laser Discs, DVDs, Bluray and now in UHD and a BARGAIN TO BOOT with all five movies in one package. The special effects take center stage in UHD like no other format and the soundtracks leave nothing to be desired. Great color saturation, contrast gives the necessary depth for almost 3D like images. The 5th movie is definitely a showpiece for guests.

Dramatic, exciting, inspiring
on July 17, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
The mostly fictionalized screenplay has plenty to recommend it as a historical/action drama. The characters are only loosely based on the real participants but overall it captures the plight of England's efforts to save their army off the shores of Dunkirk. The varying aspect ratio works well on large screens (IMAX to 2.35:1). The time frame shifts events of key characters may be off putting to some but the narrative as such rewards those than can grasp director Nolan's style.

A dramatic role for Hemsworth proving he's not just a live action figure. Howard's direction is not among his best efforts but the movie has a number of exciting moments, good character interplay and believable special effects. Overall a good joy ride.

Truly Universal

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this mount for my Epson projector. So happy I did. It's design made installation on my ceiling as near a "snap" as I would expect. The arms easily adjust to the projector's screw holes. Sanus even provides a variety of different screws to accommodate projector manufacturer's design choices. As long as you can find a strong ceiling stud behind your ceiling drywall, or have access to one through an attic, then you should be good to go.

Fred's Review Comments
It's the year 2029, and much of the world's mutant population has succumbed to a genocidal, man-made virus. As a down-and-out Logan (Hugh Jackman, in his final appearance as the character) comes to terms with his failing healing factor, he and an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) must protect Laura (Dafne Keen)-a young genetically bred mutant with powers similar to Logan's-from the evil organization that created her. With Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant.

Great movie and to me, one of the best in the XMen franchise. Awesome final outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart at Professor X. Great story and acting. Highly recommend.

Purchased several weeks ago. Stopped working this morning. No amount of Bluetooth pairing, connecting, reconnecting, rebooting, reinstalling can solve it. Keep getting message to try reconnecting. Now outside return period. Will go to Logitech website for support on manufacturer 1 year warranty.
