Absolutely great 4k transfer! I love this movie in this format. I actually enjoyed watching it at home better than the movie theater. Many of the scenes were clearer and the atmos audio had my subs working hard. This is a must have and one of the best 4k releases of the year!

This 4k version of this classic let me down. I do not believe it was better than the blu-ray version. I am not sure of the source material, but they just didn't bring the magic on this one.

A beautiful television!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This TV is a stunning piece of art. I have bought several Vizio TV's and I have never had an issue with one. I got this for a steal here at Best Buy. This OLED has the deep blacks and superior contrasts that OLEDs are known for. It has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, earc and can 4k at 120hz for gamers. When Vizio first issued this TV in 2020 it had some bugs which have since been corrected by firmware updates. You will not get a better deal on an OLED with this quality, function and size. I love this TV. The current online price is $1199, I got it cheaper buy purchasing in store. It still retails at Wal-Mart at over $1700. I am still not a fan of the smartcast that it comes with, so I use a Firestick 4k. Tip, i did have to adjust the picture to peak luminance for HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision to get the optimum brightness.

Replicate the cinema experience with the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4-channel sound bar system with SSE Max technology. The extended-range twin-cone drivers and silk dome tweeters in the soundbar and surround speakers enhance movies, music and games with smooth, crystal-clear audio. The upgraded dual 10~ subwoofers deliver balanced bass as deep as 20Hz. The 2nd Gen quad modular surround speakers (wired to subs) produce immersive 360-degree cinema surround in any room environment.

They took it to another level!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the previous Shockwafe 9.2.4 soundbar system and loved it! However, it did have some flaws that I worked around a bit. Music was not ideal on the previous version. The surround sound was! When I saw Nakamichi had released a new version I immediately checked out reviews and what all was updated. Then they dropped the price. I bought immediately and all I can say is this is the absolute best soundbar system for the price, quality, technology and surround sound. They increased power, 100% better music play, added new Bluetooth, earc, better algorithms for listening and more. The only soundbar system with 2 subwoofers and unbelievable sound. Others will be touted on their brand versus being a better system. Highly recommended!!!

This is a classic and this 4k version of the movie is the best it has ever been available. Very good transfer and gives an excellent looking version of the movie. Solid blacks and good details. Especially since the movie was a low budget movie at the time. Good job on this classic.

The best this film has looked...

This is the best this movie has ever looked except for those who saw it at the movies in 1972. The HDR was on point with great colors and inky blacks. A nice amount of film grain that fits this timepiece film. A must buy for 4k collectors!

Typical Guy Ritchie movie. Jason S. made the movie as usually, but a very good watch. The quality was good for a blu-ray, had hoped for it in 4k. Current pricing is cheaper to own than rent or see in theatres.

Very good action flick, similar to a John Wick flick but different. A little humor mixed in. Good looking 4k, but not exceptional. Soundtrack was very good and dynamic if you have a good surround sound setup. Thumbs up!

I loved this movie at the theater, but I loved this movie even more on this 4k version at home. One of the better Disney soundtracks. I thought it contains some beautiful scenes and the HDR makes some of the scenes look incredible! A definite add to your home collection, disney + subscription or not!

The directions I have read so far show how to hook this sound bar up and what settings to use.I will be streaming with a Roku 4K Ultra and a LG tv with ARC. Will this work properly with this sound bar? I just want to make sure before I commit.

Is there a sound delay when pausing and unpausing/rewinding/changing audio sources? I saw reviews for the older model saying their was but only a couple of reviews saying this eARC model does.
sounds delays and pausing is not an issue. Moving between sources, powering on and off can on occasion have a very short delay, but definitely not an issue. Btw, some of those delays are based on the OS and lag with streaming services. Not a problem with the sound system. I owned the previous model and upgraded to this beast, and I absolutely love it. eARC is fabulous and I would take this system over any soundbar system on the market.

Improve your audio setup with this Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4-channel sound bar system. Six 2.5-inch full-range drivers and two 1-inch tweeters in the central sound bar enhance movies and sporting events with rich, detailed audio. This Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4-channel sound bar system includes four surround speakers and two wireless subwoofers that immerse you in cinematic-quality sound.
Do these 3 Nakamichi sound systems 9.2.4 , 7.2.4 and 7.1.4 require a a/v receiver of any type , pre-amp or amp ? If not , are they compatible with Samsung 7series tv 2019 model year ? and will it work by just hooking to the tv and proper connections made?
none of the 3 models require an a/v receiver of any type. They will all connect directly to your tv by HDMI arc, HDMI, USB, coaxial or optical connection. Yes, it should work with the Samsung Tv mentioned. Simple setup and I set my system up in less that 30 minutes.

Subwoofer maybe too tall (20.5"?) to fit under 1 end table by the couch. Can sub be laid on its side without compromising sound quality? And do both pairs of surround speakers need to be connected or 1 to each sub is OK if there is not enough room? Thx
I wouldn't lay the subs on their side. They are designed to point down and create sound from hitting the surface underneath. You must connect each surround speaker to a sub. Preferably a left and right to each sub. After that placement it is up to you. I do the dipole setup where I connected each right and left sub together and treat them as one speaker per side. Long speaker wires allow a lot of options with setup.
