Yes, I said it, OLDER, If you haven't seen Lost World: Jurassic Park then you should go out and find it for some good entertainment. Don't expect Academy Award quality (or it may have won something) but it is a fun movie in the trilogy. I had them on DVD but wanted to see the upgraded Blu-ray and they were on sale.

This movie was a continuation of the Maze Runner series and it is a very well made movie that follows the books pretty well. It isn't exactly like the book but no movie ever is like the book. It was good entertainment!

It was however good for some entertainment and it was enjoyable. Lot's of action and the usual ghoulies from the post apocalyptic society. If you enjoyed the originals you should enjoy this one.

The usual fare with the world being destroyed and a Utopia being built in another place. In this case it's just hop up to Elysium and you live like a king. Of course not everyone can afford to get there. The desperate souls who can't use whatever means they can to get the people to share the prosperity. Sounds familiar!! Are we talking movie or current affairs. There is definitely an agenda message being portrayed in my opinion but if you just dock that somewhere and enjoy the movie for what it is it doesn't disappoint for an action movie.

As usual Marvel brings one of their comics to the big screen. While it probably will not win any Oscars it's a fun bit of entertainment if you're into the action adventure type movies that are so far out there they have funny things as well as the action. Even if you haven't seen any other movies you'll still be in the loop with only small tidbits missing. There are a few references to the other movies but everything is pretty well explained in regard to those pieces of the puzzle. It should be good entertainment for you just don't try to pick it apart. Like every movie ever made you'll find holes if you dig deep enough!

They are batteries, the chemicals inside them create power for your devices and make the devices work. I actually use them for my photography flash units when I do photo shoots and they seem to hold up better than the other top brands so I choose these.

Another in a series and anyone buying it will have already probably seen it in theaters. It is good entertainment and a nice addition to the collection. It was a very good price for 3D, Blue Ray, DVD, Ultraviolet combo pack was was even more exciting.

As is always the case with Samsung tablets it is made well and looks good. It functions as expected and runs all my apps without a glitch so far. The screen resolution is good but not the best on the market of of this line. Speed seems fast and there is plenty of storage space. It has a MicroSD slot to expand your storage to take almost anything along for the ride. The head phone jack is on the bottomnext to the charging slot which is a little awkward when using it on the stand case to watch a movie of something you would want headphones for. Most head phones I've seen have the wire feeding into the left ear but when set up on the case the jack is on the right. Would have been nicer where it always was on all the other Tabs and Galaxy phones, on top when upright. I know it's a nit-pick and I'll probably get used to it so it isn't a deal breaker by any means. If you're looking to upgrade this can be in your run for the finish line.

Read the books and watched the movie and have found they made the movies pretty close to the books. Movies are never quite the same but the falvor is there with this set of movies. Decent translation from book to movie screen. Good action, drama, sci-fi-ish.

pretty well. As with all movies there are things that get changed to quicken the pace of the movie but they stayed pretty true to the book on the overall scope of the movie. Good entertainment if you're into the sci-fi, action, drama kind of thing! Enjoy!

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.
