Disappointed in Best Buy
on January 17, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great sci-fi film.
I bought several movies to start a collector's edition with unopened DVDs/blu-rays as an investment for the future.
Most of the cases were such poor quality that I returned them. Some arrived with damage.
I returned 24 movies and blu-rays. A thoroughly disappointing holiday experience.

Best Buy is clueless
on January 17, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great film. Buy it somewhere else or pick-up in store.
The case was such low quality that I returned it. I bought this hoping to start a collection of unopened blu-rays as an investment for the future.
I returned around 24 blu-rays and DVDs because the cases were such low quality and many of them arrived with a crack or much worse damage in the casing.
I did not open the package, so I am hoping Best Buy honors the return because I have had Best Buy send DVDs or blu-rays back to me because I did not select the correct return code.
If I do not want the item for any reason, then I do not want the item. It does not matter what the correct code is. It is a poorly made product that was shipped with poor packing standards.
I am 99.99% never buying anything from Best Buy again.
Best Buy is terrible at shipping products and using shipping to return products. Awful holiday shopping and return experience.

Complete Garbage
on January 16, 2022
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is excellent and the best Roger Moore Bond film.
What is the point of collecting blu-rays and DVDs if they are going to arrive broken.
The cases for most of the blu-rays and DVDs I bought from Best Buy this holiday season were so cheap they were broken or completely dented on the front.
I also purchased them with Best Buy's Total Tech Membership which is a 100% joke and absolutely worthless.
It made no difference and only complicates returns if you cancel the total tech membership.
I am close to never buying anything again from Best Buy.
Possibly the worst corporation on the market.

This is a great steelbook design and the best Thanksgiving movie of all time.
It arrived undamaged with no dents, and the discs looked good as well.

Quality product, bad corporation

LG has terrible customer service and tech support. Quality products but bad consumer experiences almost every time.
I purchased this soundbar on sale, otherwise I would not have purchased it. It is a good value for the sale, but not original price.
I do not recommend LG.

A great steelbook design and great film. Not much else to say. The 4k dolby digital and dolby atmos take this classic to the next level.

Great steelbook design
on November 16, 2021
Posted by: MovieCollector1984
Verified Purchase:Yes
The steelbook design gets 5-stars. One of the best steelbook designs to come out recently.
The 4k disc had a small scratch on it, and I don't have a 4k player so I could not tell if it was damaged on playback or not.
I did not use the digital code for several weeks and ended up renting the film to see it.
Hollywood has somehow ruined one of the best characters and what could have been a great backstory.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation already set-up the perfect origin story, why this film did not expand on that, I have no idea.
This movie makes no sense. The camera shakes through most of the film which is one of the most annoying things to come out of Hollywood.
It could have been an epic film. The best part about it are the set designs. If the writers and directors had taken that kind of detail with the plot and characters and action sequences, this could have been one of the greatest films since Enter the Dragon.
It is worth buying because of the steelbook design, and the film is okay to watch.

Great in High-Def

2 stars for a few dings and dents it arrived with.
5 stars for the film. Visually it is captivating. New TVs and sound systems make these action films a grand experience.
It did not come with a digital copy which was disappointing.

Build an immersive media room with this 50-inch Samsung Smart TV. The Crystal 4K processor automatically improves the image quality of everything you watch, and the HDR technology makes colors look vivid and lifelike. This Samsung Smart TV has a universal guide that organizes live and streamed content so you can find what you're looking for quickly.

I owned a VIZIO 1080P Smart TV that required zero maintenance in 6 1/2 years. I have had a Sharp 4K Smart TV for two years that has worked perfectly. Both VIZIO and Sharp are user friendly.
Samsung is high maintenance. That has been my experience after owning it for two months. It looks like a great TV. But something has been wrong with my contrast and colors. I had best buy come out and diagnosis. Then they put in a new part. While also telling me that the real problem was something called "calibration." Calibration is fine tuning. This was a major color and contrast issue. It felt like bad-form on the geek squads part by trying to get me to sign-up for a $250 calibration service. Bad-form geek squad. Fix the issue. Don't sell me something I don't need. My Sharp out of the box is better than my Samsung out of the box. Samsung should be better out of the box. If you want to calibrate it to take it to the next level, then that's a different conversation.
Now that best buy has replaced the part, the TV is still not working. I have to have Samsung techs come out because if you have geek squad work on your Samsung TV, the two entities are not going to communicate to each other. Obviously. So I wasted an entire month by using best buy geek squad. I also bought a 5-year geek squad plan. It feels like more wasted money now.
Anyways, I'm not a Samsung person. But if you are, have Samsung fix your TV under the 1-year warranty plan. Also, ask about calibration when purchasing TVs. Whatever that is.
A very disappointing consumer experience.

Samsung, don't treat me like I'm an idiot
July 7, 2020
Hello Samsung,
Thanks for the heads up about updating my firmware. I'm from the stone-age. I wasn't aware of updates. You make a bad TV and sell it as a high end quality picture. I'm well aware of how to adjust a picture using the brightness and contrast controls. Thanks for telling me something I learned in the 90s. I used a tune-up app. During the picture adjustment, the brightness does not show the THX symbol at all. The display or screen or TV is bad. Don't insult me with your response like I don't know what I'm doing. Make a decent TV.

What I saw in the promo and have seen in the store is called raw 4K or raw HD. It is compressed through the apps I guess or cable lines. Whatever. The problem with my TV was that there was no contrast. I really don't know what fixed it but I'm getting the kind of picture quality I expected for 4K movies. I can see some detail in dark areas but it is obviously not an OLED or QLED picture. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting a pretty good picture that would keep me entertained while staying home.
Best Buy came out twice. They replaced the mainboard and that didn't fix it. I did factory resets and picture resets and smart hub resets. That didn't fix it. I had Samsung's techs come out once. They did nothing but also nothing changed. I asked for a more advanced tech. I did a Smart Hub reset the night before Samsung's tech was coming out for a second time. It fixed the 4K pictures that were too dark to watch like any DC Batman or even The Amazing-Spiderman or Men in Black. I don't know if it was that last Smart Hub reset or an auto-update of firmware. But the picture is what I expected, and if it looked like this from the beginning, I never would have made a fuss.
Knowing what I know now, I would recommend a person pay the extra bit of money and get a Samsung 8 Series (whatever the newest 8 series is). The 8 Series is supposed to be excellent for 4K movies.
