This was a lazy release. Not only did they not upgrade to an Atmos track, but they downgraded from a 7.1 track to 5.1. This is an easy pass for me.

No Atmos on the disc
on July 17, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
If this had an aggressive Atmos track like Lionsgate usually delivers, this would be an easy 5/5. The steelbook design is amazing and the movie is entertaining. I know the digital version has Atmos but it’s a pretty weak track. Such a shame Lionsgate went cheap on us!

This player appears to be absolute junk. It was defective right out of the box. At first it wouldn’t even read my 4K disc, then when I finally got the disc to read, it was skipping and causing major pixelation. Returned it and got the Panasonic UB420.

Really weak Atmos

The plot was really bad and the acting was horrible. It might have the worst Atmos track I’ve heard. The LFE was pretty much non-existent.

Great movie, deserved an Atmos upgrade

5/5 for the movie. 4K video is decent, but nothing special. I really wish they would have given this a new Atmos track. The DTS 5.1 is okay, but a powerful Atmos track would have been so satisfying.

Pretty nice steelbook design, picture looks good, and the Atmos is aggressive. The movie isn’t as good as the first, but it’s a fun popcorn flick.

It's a comedic carol of calamities as only the Griswold family can deliver as Clark (Chevy Chase) has his heart set on hosting an old-fashioned family Christmas. But he may change his mind when faced with a house full of bickering relatives, malfunctioning decorations, and uncertainty over his Christmas bonus. And what holiday celebration would be complete without the boorish Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid)? Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, Julia Louis-Dreyfus also star. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

4K transfer looks pretty good. It was nice to get a 5.1 track, but it’s nothing spectacular (however it’s not the type of movie that needs a bombastic soundtrack).

4 out of 5Nice, very nice sounds!

Pros
+The 17 speakers inside the soundbar, subwoofer and 2 surrounds, immerse you in sound, up down and all around.
+Deep basses and high treble, for a crisp sound from either tv or my android phone
+It looks and feels like a high end system
+Out the box, to complete set up is fairly easy.
+Features DOLBY ATMOS
Cons
-The LED readout is on top of the soundbar instead of on the front. You have to stand over it to see what operation you're in.
-The price.
-The soundbar weighs almost as much as my TV (but hey, it's holding a lot of speakers)
OK, where to start!
First my UPS guy gave me the side eye as he rolled the box in on his cart...LOL
After opening the box I see a ton of Styrofoam packaging, everything seemed intact, even with the deep dent on the top corner of the box.
The first piece I came to was the soundbar, it's a behemoth folks in both length, height and weight. It's longer than my 55" Vizio (and if interested I will have tips below on how I had to set that up). If you plan on mounting the sub on a wall I would strongly suggest studs instead of anchors.
Under the soundbar were two well wrapped and tightly strapped Styrofoam nests. The first was the subwoofer and then the two rear speakers banded together.
Also, in the box are the remote, with batteries, a user manual, power cords for all speaker, an HDMI cable, screws, two brackets and a strip to use as a guide if you choose to wall mount.

So after putting the speakers roughly where I wanted them, I followed the instructions. Plugged all the speakers in, they all linked wirelessly with no problem. I connected the supplied HDMI to the ARC on the back of my TV as well as to the sub. The top left corner of the sub has a bright white readout that scrolls with information as you press the remote buttons, which, by the way are only a few. It is kind of sparse but once you get the hang of them you're actually able to do quite a bit.
When I had the TV and sound system turned on I saw mouths moving but heard no sound...dang I knew it was to quick to be true. I wanted to make sure all was working so I unplugged the HDMI and plugged in the optical and it worked. But I wanted it to come from my HDMI ARC. So after doing more trouble shooting and some Google searching, I finally got it. The sound was pretty great but I have to say my TV doesn't have ATMOS sound, I'm waiting for black Friday. I feel certain that having my final piece in place the sound will be exceptional.
This is the tip I have for non Samsung tv's
My Vizio set up
Go to; settings>CECsettings> enable the CEC function, and turn on system audio control
Then; go to audio and turn on your surround sound.
Hope that helps

The LED display is not on top. You don’t have the bar sitting correctly.

I missed my opportunity to view this in IMAX 3D, so i picked this up the second it was available for pre-order. The graphics where stellar, but it is a shame that the industry despite making movies in 3D IMAX for theaters have abandoned this for the home viewer. The movie artfully brought the series to a close in a bittersweet way. I grew up on this series and hope to inspire my future kids with it as well, so this steelbook collectors edition is just the way to do it.
