Excellent upgrade to an iconic film franchise!

Verified Purchase:Yes
At long last, the Indiana Jones movies in stunning 4K and after watching them, the picture quality on all four films is a major improvement over the previous blu-ray collection released years ago. The Dolby Atmos sound is also a big upgrade in a sonic presentation considering these movies were released years ago with the first three being released in the theaters with Dolby surround, which is dated by today's standard. Raiders is easily the best movie in this series, followed by Last Crusade, Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull. Crystal Skull offers the best in picture and sound quality. My only complaint is the cheap and flimsy storage box that these SteelBook cases come in. I just took the individual SteelBook movies out of the white box because the cheap cardboard had major creases and dents. Inexcusable for poor packaging from Paramount for this iconic franchise of films. But despite that, as well as no regular blu-rays included with the 4K versions, I still highly recommend the upgrade if you are a fan of these films.

Great action movie that is a classic!!

High octane action in glorious 4K!! Speed keeps you on the edge of your seat and doesn't let up. This is the best this movie has ever looked. 4K transfer is very good, but not great. Disappointing that Fox did not include a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, but instead just a DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack. It still sounds pretty good, but could have been much better. Can't argue about the awesome action and stunts in this movie. Keanu Reeves is at the top of his game in this one, and Dennis Hopper plays one of the best bombing terrorists in any movie.
Pop quiz hotshot!!
I definitely recommend this one!

Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved pair of Air Jordans. But when his recently widowed grandfather Ed (Robert de Niro) moves in with Peter's family, the boy is forced to give up his most prized possession of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an injustice stand, Peter devises a series of increasingly elaborate pranks to drive out the interloper, but Grandpa Ed won't go without a fight. Soon, the friendly combatants are engaged in an all-out war with side-splitting consequences.

Excellent family comedy!

The War With Grandpa is a very enjoyable comedy with great performances. Robert DeNiro is on top of his comedy talents. The plot is very funny and is a good family film which is rated PG with no profanity. Very rare today. All the pranks between Grandpa and Grandson are very funny and highly enjoyable. I definitely recommend this film.

Awesome 4K transfer!

Can't go wrong with Saving Private Ryan in glorious 4K and Dolby Atmos sound. The movie itself is one of the best war movies of all time, especially the first 25 minutes of intense graphic war violence on the D-Day invasion which is an incredible standout of excellent film making. The 4K transfer looks pretty good, even though the gritty appearance of the picture that the filmmakers intended is still there. The Dolby Atmos sound is one of the best presentations of all time, really drawing the viewer in. The D-Day invasion in the beginning of the film is spectacular in every way imaginable. The steel book version does not contain the regular blu ray which will be disappointing for some. I do recommend the 4K version, as the picture and especially the sound is as good as it gets for this classic film.

Great speaker!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Sony wireless bluetooth speaker provides great sound, and is perfect for pairing up my laptop and smartphone for listening to music and streaming video such as movies. It provides a lot of bass thanks to the built-in subwoofers on each side and is a great substitute for the thin sounding laptop and smartphone speakers which have no bass at all. Syncing this bluetooth speaker to my laptop and smartphone was very easy. If you want an all around great sounding speaker with plenty of bass for a decent price, look no further than the Sony SRS-XB43.

Joined by fellow survivors Nevada (Rosario Dawson) and Madison (Zoey Deutch), can the group defeat a batch of the undead monsters that have evolved into even deadlier creatures?

Very funny movie and it is just as good as the first Zombieland movie, and in some cases, even better. Great performances and it is a comedic romp as well as being addictive. If you like these type of movies, you will watch this one over and over. Love the characters as well. The 4K version looks great. Highly recommended!

Excellent HP laptop!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This HP laptop is an incredibly awesome computer in every way imaginable!! It is rather expensive but worth it because it is not cheap looking and it is powerful and super fast. The Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM makes doing anything on this laptop a breeze. The 512 GB solid-state hard drive is a pretty good size for an awful lot of data. you can store thousands of pictures and if you are a music lover, you can have a large library of songs and albums that play flawlessly. The 15.6" 4K Ultra HD touch screen is simply spectacular in detail. I have streamed several 4K movies and they looked stunning on this display. If you can afford it, you simply can't go wrong with this laptop. Well worth the purchase!!

Another excellent Tarantino effort!!

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood tells the story of Hollywood's golden age in 1969 L.A. Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed this film and it is one of his best. The cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and several other well known names along with the excellent story make this a very entertaining film that is highly enjoyable. The 4K Ultra HD picture and DTS-HD MA 7.1 sound is excellent. Love the SteelBook version as well. Tarantino never disappoints his viewers. Great film and highly recommended!!

What can you say about Jaws? Plenty. One of the greatest thriller movies of all time and even better in glorious 4K UHD. The remastered picture is absolutely stunning, the best it has ever looked, and the Dolby Atmos 7.1 sound is superb. Love this film and love the limited steel book release. Fans of this movie should absolutely own this version as you should be amazed.

New to 4K. This collection features the wonder of the entire Star Wars saga, capturing the moments from a young Anakin Skywalker's descent into the dark side to the rise of the Resistance and their struggle to restore peace in the galaxy. The story that electrified a generation comes to a striking conclusion.

You can't go wrong if you are a Star Wars fan with this set. All 9 Star Wars films in stunning 4K quality and Dolby Atmos sound packaged in a limited collector's book plus digital copies of all films in 4K and Dolby Vision made this a no-brainer of a purchase. A New Hope is my favorite Star Wars movie of all time, followed by The Empire Strikes Back; The Force Awakens; The Rise of Skywalker; The Return of the Jedi; The Last Jedi; The Phantom Menace; The Revenge of the Sith and finally, Attack of the Clones. All movies look and sound great, especially episodes 7-9. Highly recommended!

How many megapixels does the front camera have? I need the camera for Zoom meetings where the image is crucial

Hi Mle. Great question. This HP laptop's built-in camera is HD 1080p which provides a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution or in this case, 2.1 megapixels. I have used this laptop with Google Meet, and the image was pretty good to me but I have not yet used this laptop for Zoom meetings. Hope this helps.
