Perfect for a Watch
on January 28, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything about this movie is perfect, but once you watch it, but get it at a good price since you might not watch it over and over again since it's all story-based. For Sci-Fi lovers.

Tim Burton's wildly imaginative drama stars Albert Finney as Edward Bloom, a dying eccentric known for spinning larger-than-life tales of his exploits as a young man. When his estranged son (Billy Crudup) returns home to see him, Bloom regales him with a host of outlandish stories, seen in flashbacks, that are so utterly unbelievable that they may just be true. With Jessica Lange, Alison Lohman, Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito, and, as Finney's younger self, Ewan McGregor. 125 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great movie

A great, fun movie but I'm not sure how many times I will watch it. But you can probably get it pretty cheap. So it's worth it.

Great Movie but...
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: JSBoom
Verified Purchase:Yes
A great movie but nothing really amazing in 4k/HDR and I feel like once you've seen it once, you probably won't watch again. So if this is at a good price you don't mind spending for watching jsut once or twice.

Overall
2 out of 5
2 out of 5I do not recommend this soundbar.
By CSmith
Ok so this soundbar handles eARC in a very weird way. My HTPC and its Nvidia Console detected the TV instead of the receiver even though the HTPC was directly connected the soundbar. It's as if it was passing through the sound via eARC and then back down again as sound was only stereo. So it really doesn't process sound when a HDMI device is directly connected to it. Very weird. This is unacceptable for a $500 soundbar

No eArc
December 21, 2020
Not sure this mades a difference for you or if you just made a typo, but from everything I've read, this soundbar doesn't have eArc capabilities - just regular arc. Being that it can't decode Atmos or DTS HD, there's also no reason for it to have it, unless you are trying to use eArc to pass-through to your TV. But it can still passthrough Dolby Vision and HDR10+ through regular arc anyways so....
If regular Arc is giving you problems, just run it through the optical port. Since it's max capabilities are Dolby Digital and regular DTS, you are still providing it the max info it can decode through optical. Also, most modern equipment should still be able to somehow turn on/off and adjust the volume on the soundbar without needing arc. I can do this through both my Vizio TV and my Fire Cube without any additional programming. I had similar problems before with this soundbar and a Vizio soundbar when running my Fire Cube through the soundbar into the TV with arc. So on my end, I don't think it's a soundbar problem. But I have no advantage sweating it out - just switched to optical.

Does the subwoofer have its own volume control?
