THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of GUSTAVE H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars; and ZERO MOUSTAFA, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds, and skis - all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent.

If you like Wes Anderson, buy this
on October 21, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Classic Wes Anderson style. Very funny if you like his drier sense of humor. The story line is very easy to follow. Love all of the cameos by all of the famous actors and actresses. Would highly recommend everyone see this movie.

Good movie, buy the 4k version
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have a 4k TV with HDR, and a halfway decent sound system you NEED to buy the 4k version of this disc. I was apprehensive as I already owned this version for multiple years. But the difference in resolution, color, Atmos soundtrack, and dynamic range are simply breathtaking. BUY THE 4k VERSION.

Extremely funny

Verified Purchase:Yes
Laugh out loud funny. Ryan Rennolds does a great job.
You do not need to buy the 4k version of this movie as the HDR, increased resolution and immersive sound is not a dramatic improvement over the 1080p version. Save your money on this and buy the standard Blu-Ray.

Great color, good increase in resolution over the 1080p version. Good demo disc for color, especially any scene on the boat.

Great film
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very good movie. Acting, directing and story are phenomenal. The movie constantly makes you question the legitimacy of the authorities involved.
Overall, the increased resolution of the 4k movie is not very impressive. HDR and Atmos are the reasons to buy this over the original Blu-Ray. Would highly recommend this to any crime buff.

Great, cheap universal remote
on October 21, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
This remote is very basic, but that is not a bad thing. Purchased this for my grandparents which allows them to use their cable box, Blu-Ray player, VHS player (dont know why they still have this), and their AV receiver. Very easy to program, but would like this to have a few more devices to be able to control.

SmartSensor provides comfort to you and your family in the rooms that matter most while saving you energy and money. Through infrared technology, SmartSensor detects when a room is occupied and communicates that information wirelessly to your smart thermostat from up to a range of 60 feet prompting automatic temperature adjustments for comfort.
 

What does a smart sensor do?

The Smart Senor acts as additional temperature sensors around your house to allow for full house control of the temperature. I have placed one of these upstairs, and one downstairs in our house. There was a 10-12 degree difference before I installed my Ecobee with the additional Smart Sensors. Now, there is 3-4 degree difference in our house between all floors. I also have been using the Smart Sensors as motion sensors in SmartThings to trigger automations.

Control devices remotely with this voice-enabled TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug. It lets you schedule and operate two lights, fans or other appliances together or separately, and the built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi capabilities eliminate the need for additional hardware. Use the Kasa smartphone app to control this TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug from wherever you are.
 

Is each of the outlets independent of the other or do they both react to the same command?

They are both individually controllable. I have a lamp on one side and a fan on the other side and I can control them together or separately on the app or with Alexa.

Upgrade any home media setup with this Samsung Harman Kardon Q70R soundbar. Seven speakers, a wireless active subwoofer and surround sound compatibility combine to bring professional-quality sound to your living room. Connect this Samsung Harman Kardon Q70R soundbar to your favorite audio source with support for Spotify, Alexa, Bluetooth, HDMI and many other connection options.
 

I already have the Samsung 9000 Surround Speakers from a Sound+ Soundbar, They seem to be larger and nicer than the 8000 series, will they work with this soundbar, or do I have to buy the smaller surround speakers?

They will not work. You will need the 8500s rear speakers.
