The Jumanji video gamers and their adventurous avatars (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan) return in this action-packed sequel. This time, the game is on the fritz, players inhabit different characters, and two old geezers (Danny DeVito and Danny Glover) get sucked into the world of Jumanji, all of which makes for an even wilder ride that leads to the ultimate boss fight with sinister villain Jurgen the Brutal (Rory McCann). With Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

JUMANJI! Good fun...but not as good as it could be
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This second installment of Jumanji is just as enjoyable as the first movie, but it could have been SO much better had they chosen to release it to home video in 3D.
The movie was framed with 3D in mind, and while the 4K UHD presentation looks amazing, I miss being able to relive the full 3D theatrical experience.
Details, color, and shadow levels are top notch. Dolby Atmos audio is active through all channels, placing the viewers solidly in the center of the action.

History tasks a back seat to effects and loud soun
on February 21, 2020
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
4K Picture quality shows an excellent level of details, and the many computer generated effects blend seamlessly with live action footage.
The problem that I have with such CG heavy films is that, much like the average Michael Bay movie, they often lose the human element in favor flag-bang look how awesome these effects are. This isn't a Michael Bay movie, but it has all the hallmarks.
That said it is a fine diversion with great picture and active audio that will have you ducking for cover!
...still, the originalb1976 film of the same name did it better, with practical effects and a cast of cinematic icons

I'd go back and let them know how it fails. Perhaps they'd be able to make some corrections to improve it.
It's "okay", just not "Cameron great".
The movie looks and sound great. It's just that the story is a bit "eh". It isn't up to snuff, given James Cameron's involvement.

Stunning detail in a overlooked & underrated movie
on January 18, 2020
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased the HFR (60fps) UHD showing, and found it to be (excluding the poor CG effects in the epilogue) technically amazing, with stunning images that were clear, detailed, and colorful!
Director Ang Lee (Life of Pi) really pushes cinematic technical boundaries and integrates some good discussion-worthy topics (in this case, "nature vs nurture", and the moral ramifications of science).
I don't get the HFR haters. This was shot natively, and does not have the artificially induced Soap Opera Effect that is found so distracting.
The story was not as deep as some, but far better than others I have seen.
Aside from Ang Lee's push for shooting in HFR, which bothers some people. I have an issue with artificially boosted frame rates, because it isn't what the director intended, but this was shot natively at 120fps and I respect the artist's choice.
Few theaters showed it in its native 120fps 3D format. I caught a 3D showing projected at 60fps and noticed exceptional clarity and 3D free from eyestrain. One particular action screen, where bits were shot in super slow-motion was nothing short of amazing.
The only issue I had was the epilogue, with the young Will Smith looked 'off'. Other than that, it looked amazing.

Brad Pitt stars as Maj. Roy McBride, an astronaut whose father, the legendary H. Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), disappeared years earlier during a space journey to locate intelligent alien life. When it looks as though Clifford's mission may have created dangerous power surges that could destroy humanity, Roy embarks on a daring quest to find his father and save mankind. Set in the not-too-distant future, this exciting sci-fi actioner co-stars LIV Tyler, Ruth Negga, and Donald Sutherland. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

fun, but not quite up to the creepy level Ch 1

4K images are amazing in this, the second chapter of the feature film version of the Stephen King novel IT.
Pennywise is as creepy as ever, however having the now grown-up children reduces the creepy factor and feeling of concern for the characters.
Sound is active throughout all channels. Color are vibrant, but often muted in the dark scenes, however images are sharp and clear.

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
 

Planning to upgrade a 75 inch TV to either a 90 or 100 inch projection screen. Leaning toward the 90 inches as I know that the 75 inch lightstrip is rated to be used on 85 inch displays. Any success with photos?

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Do you need a computer to run the quest pro

Not at all. It is fully self contained and untethered.

It can be paired with a gaming PC for use with games in the Rift and SteamVR app catalogs, but it has a sizable library of it's own self contained applications.

$1500?? I can't wait for the PSVR2 to stomp this in the dirt with a $500 price tag.

Please enjoy your $500+gaming only console, it's cable and your VR only gaming experience.

The Quest Pro isn't for you poor gamers and isn't marketed as a gaming headset.

will my existing quest 2 games be upscaled and be more visually appealing with the quest pro?

Yes, but only due to the pancake lenses and more densely packed pixels.

The tall improvements will be seen as more applications are updated to leverage foveated rendering. To date, Red Matter 2 is the only game to take advantage of this and it really shows in the improved clarity of text in a game that was already cutting edge where graphics is concerned.

What are the minimum PC requirements

It is a stand-alone device and requires no PC.

It can be used in combination with a gaming PC for playing apps from the Rift and SteamVR app catalog.

One question- does it get fogged up when playing fitness games? I could honestly justify the price if that isn’t an issue…

The open air design allows for far more airflow. Even with the (included) side light blockers in place and 15 minutes sweating in FitXR, my lenses remained perfectly clear

Does the Meta Quest Pro's eye and face tracking work on games like VRchat?

Not yet. Right now facial and eye tracking are only supported in Horizons and Horizon Workrooms.

It is a matter of getting the code for tracking released to the developers so they can get it integrated into their own applications.
