Dazzling stunts and thrill-a-minute action highlight this exhilarating fifth chapter in the popular film franchise. When the Impossible Missions Force is disbanded by the government, veteran agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is joined by mysterious MI6 operative Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) as he tries to bring down the Syndicate, a shadowy and sinister espionage agency every bit as dangerous as the IMF. With Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Alec Baldwin, and Ving Rhames. 131 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Three-disc set.

I love this series! Rogue Nation is in my top 3 with Fallout and Ghost Protocol. Looks much better than the standard blu-ray. Some reference scenes and a solid soundtrack. Definite pickup whether upgrading or as a first time purchase

Excellent presentation in 4k! Love the movie and my favorite of the 3 Nolan Batman movies. The soundtrack is good and great detail on the visuals. Worth the upgrade from standard blu-ray.

A Nolan classic!

Good movie, excellent 4k blu-ray as far as visuals. Keep the remote by you cause you will have some increases in volume during the action sequences versus talking. Typical Christopher Nolan movie where dialogue is hard to hear at times, but interesting movie...

Classic movie. Tons of star power and based off a true story. The 4k version look fantastic and is worth an upgrade from the standard blu-ray. The soundtrack upgrade will work your surround sound system.

OMG! This version is so superior to the version aired and is a must for GOT fans. The season 8 major fight episode is actually viewable and spectacular in 4k. Each season looks great.

Great 4k transfer!
on September 4, 2020

This 4k of Blues Brothers is the best this film will look. Though their is grain, it is very watchable. The real reason to get this version is the sound. They killed the remaster of the soundtrack. You feel like you are in a concert as the songs get played. A must pickup if you are a fan of the movie.

Best soundbar for the money!
on February 22, 2020
Posted by: edwardsvl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Nakamichi soundbar system. The quality of sound for both music and movies is exceptional. The power and warm even bass from 2 10 inch subs is incredible. A few minor critiques. First, the soundbar does seem to lose the arc/cec connection allowing the tv remote to control the volume for seemingly no reason. I have it hooked up to a Vizio tv, so maybe it is a brand issue. The remote has a ton of adjustments you can make, this is a positive, but hard to judge where to finally position each setting without writing each one down and then working from there to equalize the system to your taste. I have found the movies setting does a great job for most movies. The music setting does well for high end recordings and music, but pop, r&b, new country and others will need adjustments from song to song. However, with that all said, this system is incredible! I have listened to $5,000-$15,000 stereo systems that didn't sound as good. I highly recommend this product. My setup is in a mid sized room with vaulted ceilings, I do get some atmos like sounds with the sse turned up. I also use the dipole setup which accommodates my room setup better. Overall I say go get this system and blow your family, friends and yourself away!!

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.
 

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.

Yes, it will work with both the Roku 4k and the LG tv. It is backwards compatible with arc. You will love this soundbar.

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.

LOL, Can i update my steelbook? The original one was really plain looking.

to my knowledge the only way to upgrade a steelbook is to purchase another one. Nobody sells just the case.

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.
