Ultimate Spartacus
on December 21, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4k edition is my ultimate Spartacus. Having had the Criterion Laser Disc for many years, I replaced it with the Bluray just a few years ago, I thought I finally had the movie in its most watchable medium. Not so, the UHD is a even greater step up in clarity, color rendition and enjoyment.

X-MEN DARK PHOENIX - ULTRA HD - After returning from outer space, Jean Grey finds herself at odds with fellow members of the X-Men. The rift occurs because a cosmic blast turns Jean into a godlike being, and her newfound powers are the complete opposite of benign. The diabolical force inside her gradually corrupts her kind soul and understanding. With Jean targeting the friendly mutants she loves most, the X-Men must take a stand. They have to stop Jean from causing further destruction, or Jean will be used by otherworldly entities. These aliens are adamant about gaining control over the entire world. 20th CENTURY FOX Run Time 115 minutes

Hanks and Spielberg provide a wrenching story of the Gyrenes bringing the highs and lows and plenty action to our living rooms. Every character is well drawn. Another worthy tribute to the "greatest generation."

An Entertaining Story with a Committed Lead
on December 4, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you can get through the first half hour or so of the shaky camera in the first installment then you're on your way to an entertaining story. The visuals are good, the plot is nothing new and the performances are on par for the material. Jennifer Lawrence gives a committed endeavor to her role. Got it on sale for $9.99 and it was more than worth the investment.

The bigger your screen the better the fun....
on December 4, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great 3D and plenty of earthshaking. Thin on plot (seen it all before) with a miscast Keifer Sutherland. Action scenes are about average for today's features. Fortunately, the movie doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a plus, so the entertainment value is retained. Just don't expect award winning performances, just sit back to let the visuals and sound wash over you. The bigger your screen the better the higher fun quotient. A bonus is the layout of the city of Pompeii for those who have visited the actual site.

Innovative sci-fi
on November 20, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tom Cruise doee what he does best, which is portray a character with a dedicated mindset that is challenged by external forces. Although the plot requires some leaps of faith for its ending it is nonetheless an exciting, innovative sci-fi entry into the dystopian future canon.

![Pitch Black [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b769e8ce-ab5b-4b5c-837d-caac4c95cdb0.jpg)
THERE'S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds it's own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

Pitched to Enjoy in the Dark
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Some might say it's another derivative of any number of alien movies but with Diesel bringing a subtle intensity to the role of Riddick, the threat of approaching darkness combined with characters that both grate on your nerves and makes one root for other characters, the bursts of action captivate the viewer keeping one on a seat's edge. The UHD transfer has deep blacks that hold up well for when you-know-what comes out of the shadows.

Can't Stop Buying It
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Loved it when I saw it in the theater. Bought the DVD of the theatrical version upon release, then bought the DVD of the extended cut, then the Bluray and now the Ultra HD Bluray. The visuals get better in each iteration. Probably, l'lI be tempted to buy an 8K version if that ever comes out someday but for now I can wallow in this one. Nuff said.

Fits my needs
on August 14, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed a new phone and this fit the bill. Discovered it was on sale when I got to the store. The price was $50 lower that the website listed it at. As with all new phones it takes a little getting use to for setting up. The Content Transfer app worked for about 90% of the content of my old HTC phone. Most apps transferred fine. Contacts transferred OK but I had to move them individually into the new phone's app. Couldn't get my messages to move however, although it said it was successful the messages don't appear on this phone.

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.

Does this have a direct ethernet port?
The specifications for inputs/outputs do not list Ethernet port but the photos seem to show a RJ45 port quite clearly, which presumably is for Ethernet connection. I have one of these laptops on order. When I placed the order in-store the sales rep pointed it out to me in the photo.

I bought a Roku Streaming Device from Amazon for an older TV that only has A/V Ports and the program that I choose will come on and then after 15 seconds or so the signal cuts out completely. I tried everything and nothing works why? The tv has no HDMI.

Hi, They actually did not directly answer my question earlier. My question is, does the Roku Ultra have a "ZOOM" feature on it to expand the picture that will fill the screen?" I have an older TV with HDMI but the Roku's that I have don't have "ZOOM".
