Starting from physics we know, visualizing it, starting to go into the theoretical, and then delving beyond what our 3-dimensional bodies can understand. This is all fascinatingly explained in how the movie is grounded in real science, real world realities, and how the human race may have to ultimately survive.

like a clockwork orange, this movie is set in the future that will always be in the future, regardless of when you watch this movie. a reclusive man in a society he doesn't fit in with delusional hopes who feels nothing. what does he do? wait and work. but its very challenging complex work, taking far advance physics in a whole new direction, with stunning visuals.

the writers and directors truly had the balls when they conquered this story. it is excellently and respectfully done, and lines between reality and fiction are blurred, but it clearly is fiction. how they execute it, and the way it turns out, it seems that while trying to stay politically correct- given the controversial nature- they keep up the comedy, surprising you in some places. these true artisans deserve a shot at the movie

a character who was once comparable to modern day movie superheroes, is now old and trying to make it back, on the broadway circuit. a story we've heard before, but it comes across as a story of a man in a mid-life crisis, while trying to make a play, all while coming across as a play with the constant long shots. makes you think about what life is like through theyre eyes, especially when you see the relationship with his daughter, which is oscar-worthy.

if you have ever wondered what how dracula came to be the monster we all know? before the folklore where he would kill and try to take over others' land to spread his vampire seed, this movie takes the folklore to how it originally started 400 years earlier when the turks almost took over europe. geniously blending true history and the myth of dracula, this tale of historical fiction, is amazingly not to be missed. dracula is the good guy.

Mutants, superheroes, we've seen them. But what If you simply used more brain potential? Luc besson does an amazing job directing mind blowing scenes that at times are hard for the mind to comprehend. Scarlett johansen also gives an amazing performance, showing the subtle differences as her character changes

Did he do it? How do you prove it? Especially when there's way more to it. Why was it done? What really is true? David Fischer leaves you feeling that you know how it ended, but not quite how it ended up that way

It's like the avengers, but everyone some kind of Fellon, alien, has some weird kind of power or obsession and they're all just in general mischiefmakers. And one of them is a genetically engineered raccoon-who has an addiction to making bombs and anything destructive.And there is a lot of humor. If you follow the overall Marvel cinematic universe, there is a lot to delve into in this movie that you cannot get from just one viewing

How can I get the best sound from companion5 if I connect it with TV

I'm thinking about connect it with the LCD TV. So far I have 2 options which are
1) use the 3.5mm. cable on both side and connect to the headphone jack(back of the TV)
2) use the cable that has 3.5mm. and white, red jack to connect with the output at the back of TV.

Which one is the better choice?

And will i able to get the 5.1 surround sound with these methods? If not, could you please let me know how can I get it. Should I buy any converter?

Thanks
The latter should take care of all of it

what if the speaker wire is too short?

I need longer speaker wire for both speakers.... how is this accomplished?
Just like me, you're stuck with it. You have to figure out some other arrangement in the one you originally intended. But, from what I've used over the past three months, it's been worth it

If I connect Companion 5 to the USB port, can I at the same time use a microphone for voice commands by connecting it to the PC's frontpanel socket?

I would very much appreciate if any one can clarify if I can use a microphone for voice recognition (in games) simultaneously when using Bose Companion 5 connected to USB port, by connecting it to the microphone socket on the computer front panel which in turn is connected to the built in audio on the motherboard(without a sound card) . I would be using Windows 7. Thanks.
Yes, but there'll be lots of feedback, and the sound quality will be greatly reduced

Not necessarily. It more depends on your TV and the connection between your TV and the device that you're watching Netflix on if they were if they only connect via HDMI you need to HDMI if you can use an RCA use RCA
