The concept of the story was good but the narrative didn't flow well in spots. Very hard to follow where it was going but in the end it wrapped up pretty well with only a few loose ends. Probably as a lead in to a sequel for sure. Lots of action, decent story, some fracturing! Overall it was a good piece of entertainment.

While this doesn't have all the power of Photoshop it is a great program for small things and quick edits using the same tools as the full version of PS. Elements is a great alternative with many of the same features and is great for the quick edit on the fly when you don't have access to your full CC version. I was a little awkward to install since it conflicts with your full version of PSCC and I had to get on the horn twice with Adobe to rectify the situation. Although this is a stand alone license it was hooked to the computers that I was using for my CC Subscription and caused an error message about having it loaded on two computers already. Finally a quick adjustment and another Adobe account fixed the issue. While annoying the staff at Adobe tech support was great and fixed it quickly when it understood the issue.

I've always like the X-Men and any Marvel movies this one was different in many ways. It wasn't the usual Wolverine or X-Men fare. Given the timeline and that it is supposed to be way in the future it was hard to digest that Prof X was alive and old since he had been killed off in one of the previous installments which was placed years before this movie is to take place. As for Logan/Wolverine there is quite a bit missing as to how he arrived in the state he was in, almost dead on his feet. These movies have been pulling at straws for some time now and this was just bottom of the barrel pickings. While the action and adventure of the story was pretty good the story line with all it's trouble spots was drawn out and rather depressing. It was also very predictable in some spots, 20 minutes later you know they are getting killed it's just a matter of how it's accomplished. Overall I would have to say it's a movie I didn't mind watching just because it was a "super hero" movie but it certainly needed more story or back story or something I can't really put my finger on. It was lacking!

I have had a trackball for many years and this was one I got for work to make it easier at the job. The one I have at home was a Microsoft trackball and it is a bit larger than the Logitech. The only drawback I found with this new one is the smaller size and my hand doesn't sit as well on the curve but I am getting used to it. It is still a hole lot easier than using a mouse and having to move it all over the desk when there is no space to move. The trackball sits in one spot and there is never a need to re-position and there is no bumping into stuff on the desk. The wireless option is good to have and makes connecting and placement a little easier. I was very happy that Logitech has made this item as it is now the only one on the market with the ball on the side making all the more easy to use.

While this is a stand alone from all the prequels and sequels it ties everything together from 40 years ago! Many questions are answered and the story has expanded. If you're into sci-fi and or Star Wars this is a good addition to all the other movies!

Will this require a subscription in the future?

No telling right now! It is a single license stand alone package at this point in time but who knows what Adobe might do in the future!

Can this be used with Mac OS Sierra? Can you retouch images as in Creative Suites?

It says it's Mac compatible but I use it on a Windows machine so I'm not sure if it works with that particular OS. You can drop on over to the Adobe forums to get a more specific answer for your particular situation. Good Luck! For the second part of that question it is very much like the CC version of Photoshop. It is not as powerful but you have a lot of the same retouching options that you have in Photoshop CC. Healing brush, Clone Stamp, color adjustments, levels, curves, etc. Happy Photography!!

The rear speakers its wiress

I think you want to know if the rear speakers are wireless. I'm going to answer based on that! The rear speakers are actually semi-wireless. They are not hooked to the main unit by wires but there is a wireless receiver that can be placed very close to where you want to mount the speakers and the speakers are wired to that box. There are some wires involved on all the speakers but it isn't nearly as bad a full wired speaker that emanate from the main head unit.

What model is the Blu Ray player that comes with this package? I would like to compare its specs to stand alone models.

It's an all in one and doesn't have it's own model number. You would have to search around on the Samsung site and you might find the info you're looking for.

Does this unit have a HDMI input as well as output.? Many thanks.

Strictly an output but it does have ARC if your wondering if the TV will play through it. That works if your TV has ARC compatibility.

Does the blue ray need any regular updates.

I've only had it for a short time and haven't seen any updates since the first one when I hooked it up. I'm sure as time goes by there will be updates but there is never a way to tell how many will be rolled out. All depends on what might happen in the way of a bug that needs fixing or some new and improved menu they think up. If it's hooked to your wireless or wired network then this is an easy task. If not hooked up then it would have to be downloaded from somewhere, put on a disc and loaded through player tray.

I just bought this home theatre system the other day, and we sat down to watch a dvd. Randomly the player just shut off, I rebooted it and it did the same thing 3 times. Is the player flawed or is there a setting that causes it to shut off?

I haven't run into this issue and I don't see anything in the manual that would make it an option to go off on it's own. I would reach out to Samsung Support on this one.

Are the speakers wall mountable?

The speakers have one keyhole in the back to mount on a single screw in the wall or some kind of hook. The center channel has two keyholes due to it's width. I have the front L&R and rear L&R mounted on the wall with the center on a stand in front of my TV.
