Cool movie in 4K, wish it had Dolby Vision

fun movie and looks good in 4K, but it doesn't have Dolby Vision which would really be amazing. Worth it to add to the collection

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos~. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN~. And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.

Incredible streaming media device
on June 19, 2019

Love this device! Initially bought to use to stream Netflix, Prime video and other streaming apps. I was dissatisfied with my LG’s built in streaming apps as streaming was constantly disrupted although I hardwired the internet connection. The Apple 4K TV did not disappoint on that front and surpassed any of my expectations by offering so much more content and functionality. After 2 weeks and constant viewing show, movies seamlessly stream without interruptions. Additionally the Apple TV remote is amazing with it’s simplicity, touch screen navigation and built in Siri. I never imagined that the remote and Apple TV tech would improve in app navigation. For example Netflix or Prime, fast forwarding or rewinding is either a simple click, swipe, push or ask Siri to fast forward 30 minutes. Additionally a swipe down on the remote brings up a simpler intuitive menu. Menu button is multi purpose and convenient. There is an abundance of apps to watch other content including Live tv. Want to watch the NBA finals? Click on the microphone/Siri button and state what you want to watch, including movies. iTunes movies is very easy to bring up many movies that you might not have on your subscription service. I’m also an Apple Music owner and the incorporation of that with my set up was seamless. Now with a simple click or ask Siri I can enjoy music on my home theater. There is still more to explore including screen mirroring content from my iPhone or iPad. The Apple TV works seamless with my iPhone and IPad which is very helpful when you have to do a search or type in your Apple ID password, the virtual keyboard pops up on your phone or iPad for easier typing or even use your Face ID for stored passwords.
As far as watching 4K and Dolby Vision content, it is amazing and comes very close to physical media/4K blu ray discs. Just make sure that you go to settings>Audio and Video and set it to 4K SDR, then turn on Match Dynamic Range and Match frame rate and turn off Dolby vision. This allows the Apple TV 4K to display the content as it was intended instead of forcing everything through a layer of Dolby Vision. You will not be happy if Dolby Vision is on when the TV itself or movie or content does not have Dolby Vision coding or capability...looks like crap. When the content has Dolby Vision and you have a Dolby Vision capable TV the Match Dynamic Range and Frame rate options allow the content to display the Dolby Vision automatically.
So in short, the device is amazing and surpassed my expectations and continues to surprise with additional features and tech that I continuously discover. For what I use it for, it absolutely replaces my cable box. A word of advice go for the 32GB version instead of the 64. You will never need the additional internal storage as most apps have minimal space and most people will not hardcore game on the device itself.

Interstellar opens on Earth in the distant future, as Mother Nature is waging war on humanity. Famine is widespread, and all of mankind's resources are now dedicated to farming in a desperate fight for survival. A former NASA pilot and engineer named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) has become a homesteader in order to support his teenage son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy). Unfortunately, even that begins to look like a futile endeavor after a sandstorm ravages their close-knit community. Meanwhile, a seemingly supernatural mystery begins to unfold when the InchghostInch that dwells in Murph's room sends her a mysterious set of coordinates - which lead the curious father/daughter duo to a clandestine underground base housing the remnants of NASA. There, renowned physicist Professor Brand (Michael Caine) has been working with a team of astronauts and scientists to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life. Brand quickly persuades Cooper to pilot a mission that will hopefully carry the seeds of human life to a habitable planet in another galaxy. Cooper is soon bound for space with Brand's daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and researchers Doyle (Wes Bentley) and Romilly (David Gyasi).

Cybertron has fallen. When Optimus Prime sends Bumblebee to defend Earth, his journey to become a hero begins. Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld), a teenager trying to find her place in the world, discovers and repairs the battle-scarred robot, who's disguised as a Volkswagen Beetle. As the Decepticons hunt down the surviving Autobots with the help of a secret agency led by Agent Burns (John Cena), Bumblebee and Charlie team up to protect the world in an action-packed adventure that's fun for the whole family.
