Star Wars on a Roger Corman budget
on September 10, 2021
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great transfer and supplements for a completely cheesy Star Wars ripoff movie that helps explain whatever it was you just saw. Is this supposed to be the Seven Samurai meets Magnificent Seven? Yes. Is that John Boy from the Walton's? Yes. Does that spaceship have boobs? Yes. The story is a 3 out of 5. The acting is 5 out of 5 for the sheer "what am I doing in this?" moments. The miniatures are a 5 of 5. When you stop to think of what they pulled off for one billionth the budget of today's CGI fest it's really quite something. But, is it good? That's for you to decide.

To hear this with no crackles and pops is sublime
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK I know a lot of people like a crackling fire with their music so, those might be put off by the quietness here but, CD lovers will finally here all the nuance and detail and warmth that good vinyl brings. I think every house should be assigned a copy when you move in and that voice? Wow, possibly the greatest American singer of all time. If you're not familiar (which seems impossible) this is a great place to start. For those fans who like the full albums, this is still a great sequence of songs to have in this beautiful press.

Great performance, merely ok re-press
on September 19, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I dunno, the sonics on this press is just not working for me. I love the writing and the playing on this hugely influential album but, there's nothing special that improves on the CD you probably already own. Maybe some people like it kind of flat in the mastering but, I think audiophiles will be disappointed compared to the shining remastered debut album, the half speed mastered Ghost in the Machine and the shimmering Zenyatta Mondatta. All of which I would highly recommend before this one.

The peak of RUSH
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just an amazing 180g press of one of the most influential hard rock albums of all time. By working in some new wave-ish synthesizers, Rush crossed over and pleased hard rock, new wave and prog rock fans in one fell swoop during the early 80s. It built them a fan base that would sustain until Neil Peart sadly passed away this year. If you have a decent audio set up you will absolutely be in love with this remastered disc. The winner here, somewhat surprisingly being Side2 with all the nuance and shimmering coming to life.

You only need one Freddie movie and this is it!
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
I hadn't seen this since probably when I saw it in the theatres 35 years ago. Of course Freddie is not an icon so, it's great to go back to where it all began and surprisingly it holds up remarkably well unlike just about all of the sequels, maybe #3 excepted. Just the right amounts of scary and funny, the plot is ludicrous but, you can spot it's influence (as well as it's stealing from movies like Carrie) in everything since. The transfer to Blu Ray is fantastic. Colors really pop in this 80s flick (like that decade is known for) with a pretty good lack of grain and artifacts. In full disclosure I have a Sony 4K player upscaling the picture to a Sony A8 OLED so, that is definitely part of the equation here. If your family and friends are into horror, this is actually an even better movie as you will all laugh and jump at the same points. Truly a great popcorn flick with the group. And I think I paid like 7 bucks so, it's pretty much a steal especially if you've got a nice home theatre set up.

Is it better than Blu Ray?
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had the complete story for years now. It is a nice set so, I was skeptical in re-buying these once again, especially when these 4k players upscale nicely. But, since they had it for two dollars off and the reviews were pretty stellar on the transfer, it was just enough to push me over the edge. The verdict? (FYI, my equipment is a Sony A8 (OLED) and a Sony 4K player with a Polk Audio Magnifi Max soundbar and subwoofer) The picture in OLED is absolutely amazing. Dings and patina on R2D2 and C3PO like you've never seen. The disc really comes alive in the DeathStar scenes with all the black and white (perfect black on my A8) and the color tone feels so much more real. Is it enough to make me get all of the whole series in 4K? Maybe not. But, if will probably have me headed back out to pick up my favorites between 1 and 6. For fans of all of it, this is an absolute must buy. I truly felt like I was 11 years old in the theatres again. Hard to describe the feels this disc gives.

Needed a phone stand to be able to hold zoom calls and such hands free from a desk. The fact that it charges was really a bonus. Nice touch that it holds the phone easily horizontal as well. Works perfect, absolutely as advertised and is very simple. Price is good too. Two thumbs up.

Got this on sale. Excellent value at sale price

Verified Purchase:Yes
If I had a small apartment the mini would work fine but, I have an open floor plan room where we watch TV. The max comes out of a LOT of packaging but, it is packed well. Installation and set up could not be easier. It basically tells you which cables and inputs to pick and covers you with all of the hook ups. It worked with my cable box remote without having to do a thing. The unit itself sounds great and fills the room with great Polk audio sound, especially music, voice and bass. I am pairing this with a 65" Sony A8 and a Sony 4K player and it works like a champ. Good mid-range and highs in it, I like that the bass unit (which is a bit huge so, you'll need to think about where to put it) gives those low frequencies without straining like the Samsung I replaced that went bad. I am still trying to figure out how to get the blu ray player as loud as the Cable box. For cable the audio is perfect but, for blu ray I'm pushing into the 90s on the TV out volume which doesn't seem right. Possibly running coax straight to the Max from the Blu Ray will do it but, it's so easy with the HDMI to the TV and because I haven't needed that last bit of volume without blowing myself out of the room, I just haven't experimented. Otherwise if you are just going Cable and/or TV Apps like Netflix, this unit will blow your mind. I may eventually pair with the wireless surrounds at some point which is a nice option but, honestly if you are looking for realistic theatre sound out of a simple bar + sub setup and to chill with subscriptions, look no further. But, don't pay list.

Amazing performances and cinematography
on March 21, 2020
Posted by: scottk
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4K transfer is simply amazing. Sound is perfect. Colors are true. The performances are amazing, even those all around Joaquin's tour de force acting class. My only beef is absolutely zero Bruce Wayne was needed (Thomas Wayne was fair play) for this and both prominent sequences could have been removed and the movie would be better for it because, now your messing up Bruce. However, I guess they intended us to see it from Joker's point of view and so a case could be made. Fun to argue about. But, there's no argument that this is the best movie based on a comic book character ever made and it shows that DC's strength (completely opposite to Marvel's) is that its greatest strength lies in its remarkable villains.
