Stunner of a 4k disc
on August 14, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best looking image for this movie ever. I was impressed with the film in its initial theater run at a premier movie house in Philly in 1968. This 4k disc even tops what I remember seeing in a theater when I saw it again back in the 1970's. I've had VHS, Laser disc, DVD, and Bluray versions of this movie over the years and this new edition has the chops to stun anyone. The mastering of the image and sound belies its 1968 vintage.

The Best Since Pulp Fiction
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
My 2nd fav Tarentino movie that just squeaks a notch above Inglurious Bast***s and Django Unchained. Pacing, direction, acting, costumes, dialogue and twisted history all have the typical Tarentino trademarks.

More of the Same but Enjoyable
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arnold reprises the role he was born to play, this time with fewer twists and some well placed homage to prior outings. The two leads are good but nothing noteworthy (Danes is MUCH BETTER in Homeland but that's a role that has more challenges). Stahl walks through his part like a dress rehearsal. Nonetheless, I found it enjoyable for its SFX and volume factor.

Good for Repeat Viewings
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an entertaining flick with Cruise in a subordinate role to Blunt's character, who gives much to enjoy in this sci-fi "jumper." Not to repeat myself (sic) but this one has a good repeat factor.

Stylized Violence

Verified Purchase:Yes
Mainly for Frank Miller admirers, these films give pause to some who look for historical accuracy in Hollywood efforts. But many won't be disappointed who appreciate images that come right off the graphic novels' pages.

Not the Best of the Bonds but....

Kind of formulaic in its unfolding and not the best of the Craig Bond movies but certainly it has all the action thrills necessary to give one an enjoyable time.

Brie Larson delivers a credible performance in this less than great but nonetheless entertaining entry in the Marvel canon that establishes another plot line for our super heroes to help foil Thanos' plans.

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".
