4k IMAX & Color Correction! Best Version of BvS
on April 6, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
THIS! is the copy to own. The color correction is fab; the IMAX is perfect when used. Not all scenes are IMAX and I appreciate that. Also Ive loved every promotional poster/cover for BvS with the different releases over the years. The only complaint I have is the disc is bare bones but don’t let that stop you with experiencing BvS in a new light

It's name Event Horizon. The high-tech, pioneering research spacecraft mysteriously vanished without a trace on it's maiden voyage seven years earlier. But a weak, persistent signal from the long-missing craft prompts a rescue team, headed by the intrepid Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), to wing it's way through the galaxy on a bold rescue mission. Accompanying Miller is his elite crew and the lost ship's designer (Sam Neill). What they uncover is unimaginable interstellar horror.

Still creepy...
on April 2, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
The film is a bit dated w/the computer graphics but that doesn’t take you out of the story. The story is still as creepy as it was when I sat in my seat watching it the first time. The atmosphere remains haunting as you journey through each scene. Not a film for everyone

U can’t go wrong w/Edward G.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great oldie! I took a chance on the purchase because I hadn’t heard of the movie before. But with Edward G. Robinson starring in The Red House, I knew the chances of it being good were high...and it was. A fantastic blind buy

Amazing Series! Wow!
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, this is a Millcreek release...meaning you don’t know what kind of transfer you’ll get....I am happy to announce that this is a fantastic transfer; definitely not disappointed-Pleasantly surprised actually.
I don’t have the SyFy Channel so I missed the series when it originally aired-in fact, I wasn’t interested until folks said the series ended on a high note. When I heard it was a solid 10 from start to finish by multiple viewers, I was game for purchasing.
I received the collection the other day and I’m not even close to finishing 12 Monkeys- but I tell ya, each episode I’ve seen thus far has pulled me in. So many layers..the hype is legit. Just watching the first season was worth the cost of the collection alone. I’m a happy camper for sure. I recommend

Damaged Steelbook
on March 10, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
Listen, I’m not going to give Best Buy a hard time on this because most likely it was damaged during shipment. I do think when it comes to Steelbooks BB should protect their steelbooks better. They would save money as a company as a whole. I can imagine they lose out on profit when items are sent back while also paying for returns (I don’t live close to a BB-so they have to pay for shipping.
When I opened the package, the steelbook case was dented and collapsed in the center-meaning the disc most likely was damaged as well. I didn’t even take the item out of its plastic wrap..I just contacted BB and they made me a shipping label for a return.
It’s always hit or miss when u order online with Steelbooks; BB could place 2 pieces of cardboard (one cardboard on each side) around the item before shipping.
I’ll continue to purchase Steelbooks from time to time from BB, but it’s sad many have been returned due to damage.

Awesome film!
on February 26, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, I didn’t have high hopes for the film due to reviews I read when it was first released at the multiplex..so I never saw it at the theaters. Recently, I have read about how beautiful the 4k transfer is and people using it as a reference disc for their 4k setup. Man! It’s is a gorgeous picture-those reviews were correct. I don’t know why the film itself got knocked at its release, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Now, I never read the book so I had nothing to compare the tale to. But I really like the film. It has all the touches of a classic Peter Jackson film. A sense of wonder, a sense of awe-magical and whimsical. A great fantasy flick. This is one movie I could kick myself for not catching at the theaters.

Reimagine heart-pounding battles with this Star Wars Imperial Droid figure. An included stand makes it easy to place right in your collection, and the five articulated limbs let you recreate your favorite scenes. This Star Wars Imperial Droid figure has features that are true to the classic movie saga for added sentimental value.

100% beauty!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The collector’s Empire Strikes Back Droid is unbelievable! The packaging is by far above any expectations I might have had. Outstanding! Every Star Wars fan/collector should order before these droids are totally sold out. With it being the 40th anniversary (last year being the 40th actually), there is a limit to the production. I’m lucky to have gotten one of these in 2021!

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

Amazing!
on January 27, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
First let me start off, Best Buy is the place to buy your entertainment needs. Don’t depend on Amazon for electronics. I dealt with Amazon with this item. The Panasonic 4k player was a mess. I tried disc after disc to get it playing..maybe 2 sec glimpse of a feature I was trying to watch. I kept believing Panasonic made a good product from all the reviews I’ve read and also how it was came in as a top 4k player for the last few years. So I contacted Amazon, they sent me another players do the exact same thing happened. I returned both back to Amazon.
I decided to order the same product from Best Buy after a week or so of frustration from Amazon. Once the package got to my house, I opened the box and realized right away that this player was different than the others. It was the same product but the 2 I received from Amazon had been apparently used! I wouldn’t have known that if I hadnt ordered this one from Best Buy.
I think Amazon sent me defective players that might have been returned from previous owners because of the issues..I’m not 100% sure, but I’m led to believe that’s what happened.
I enjoy Amazon but I’ve learned NOW not to order major items from them. I’ll get my electronic needs/wants from Best Buy.
I’ve watched 2 disc on the player so far and I cannot believe the difference between my LG 4k player to this Panasonic 4k player! What a world of difference! It’s truly incredible! I cannot recommend this 4k player enough!

Best Surge Protector
on January 6, 2021
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve switched to ALL APC surge protectors in the house over the years. I’ve used GE and those are fine- but APC seems to do so much better and last longer than previous surge protectors I’ve owned. On Particular order, I purchased 3 surge protectors for my parents. I’ve made them a Believer in the company and their products. I have become a faithful customer over these last few years.

I use my iPad quite a bit, mostly for internet searches, social media and games. Now it is dying and I am looking to buy a new one. Would a 64 gb work for me? What would I gain with a 256 gb?

Get more memory because of iOS updates. The iPad will last longer and not slowdown as time goes along.
