The Incredible "Bulk" Rocks
on February 19, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Marvel "tweensy" movie doesn't get enough recognition. Edward Norton does a good Hulk (but Mark Ruffalo is more sublime as Bruce Banner). SFX are excellent as usual with Marvel, soundtrack can be in-your-face at times but otherwise the whole package is very entertaining.

"Sound" Enough
on February 19, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Small, convenient to set up, out of the way behind our small 24" HDTV but with sound that crushes the on-board-inside-the-TV speakers. Just have to remember to hit the "power" button twice to turn on the sound bar, which the instructions inconveniently missed telling us.

Couldn't find a short enough length of optical cable ANYWHERE for our new sound bar. This one hit the spot. No excess coiling behind the TV.

Awesome Player
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This player replaced an Oppo. It's 4K image is gorgeous on my Epson projector. There's a setting that optimizes it for projector use. It doesn't have the built-like-a-tank chassis that higher priced players have but it's video output is in the top tier. When compared to my Panasonic DP-UB820 player, it's more expensive cousin, all it lacks are a few features that have no impact on it's high-end image.

Worth a Holiday look
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the story of a human boy raised by Santa's elves. It's not a knee slapping belly laugh of a movie but it has its moments. Ferrell does what he can with the role to good effect and James Cann plays it straight. The SDR BluRay has excellent color, good sound and a very stable image. Worth a Holiday look.

Spielberg Does It Again
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Far too many 80's references to keep track of but the filmmakers obviously had a field day with them. Gamers might even appreciate it more than the movie fans. Almost non-stop action that is so cleverly done it begs for repeat viewings. The image in 4K is reference quality and the soundtrack matches it. One of Speilberg's most entertaining efforts.

Iconic Film
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is an icon even after almost 30 years. It's the role Arnold was born to play. Little is lost in those 30 years as its special effects and action direction leave nothing behind. The image, even though it's in 4k, has some age related artifacts or perhaps it's the video transfer. Soundtrack still has impact.

A Nail Biter
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nail-biter. Even though one may know what's coming if they followed the news when the event occurred it still packs a wallop. The mostly accurate telling of what went down for how things went up grabs the viewer early on. Well drawn characters engage in tense, often reserved and rapid dialog that lends an aura of realism to the proceedings. The image is full of fine detail and color. The 4K made me almost feel the mud on the actors. Sound-wise there are no shortcomings when things go BOOM.

A Sequel that Delivers
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This highly anticipated follow-up to 1982's Blade Runner delivers the goods in all respects. While remaining true to the original vision it take the evolution of the concept to another level. Overly long for some but for fans it plays to its strengths in satisfying ways. The image is gorgeous and the soundtrack is spot on.

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.
