What's great about it: Good 3D, Good Movie
This is widely seen as one of Pixar's best, and the AV does not disappoint. Highly recommended.

What's great about it: Excellent 3D presentation, Awesome Movie
This movie is a classic on so many levels, but since most people already have their opinion, I will focus on the 3D presentation. This conversion has been done very well. Throughout there is a great sense of depth and even with darkened glasses the colors seem spot on. I only noticed one scene (at the gas station) where any 3D issues were glaringly obvious: the moon had some ghosting. Overall, highly recommended.

What's great about it: Suspenseful and engaging
This movie is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. It has a great story which has many connections to the series it is based on. It has its suspense, action, and drama down to a science. Highly Recommended.

What's great about it: Performs well with iTunes and as a streaming box in general
What's not so great: Take forever to update, sometimes updates are unsuccessful
I bought this primarily to stream my iTunes content which this does wonderfully. It is easy to set up and use. Netflix also works well with this as well. The only real downside to this box is that some updates can take an extremely long time to download and install. Overall, recommended.
This product has... Easy to set up, Reliable connection

What's great about it: Agents can explain things pretty simply for newbies
What's not so great: Agents were not very careful
I had an opportunity for a free calibration from Best Buy's Geek Squad. I had already tweaked the settings on my television and it looked pretty good to me. However, it still is not the same as a professional calibration, and since the service was free, I decided to give it a try. So after spending nearly an hour on hold, I got an appointment for a week later. The day before the appointment they call to confirm. Five minutes later they call to confirm again (why they called the second time is anyone's guess), both times assuring me that they will call when they are on their way the next day. The next day, they show up during the four hour window unannounced, which did not bother me too much. The agents seemed friendly enough, but then they walk over to my $850 television, and the first thing they do is shock it. I heard the bolt from several feet away! Talk about unnerving. While they navigated the TV service menu they explained what they were doing and put their fingers on the TV screen to point out exactly what they were talking about. My TV did not have the 200 hours break-in time that that they suggested, so they strongly encouraged me not get it calibrated until it does. Fair enough, but then the agent told me that when I reschedule I should call him directly, because he is the only agent with the newer, advanced, equipment that can make the display look better than the other Geek Squad agents. Seems a bit inconsistent for Best Buy to have some agents with better training and equipment than others. This means whenever you make an appointment for a calibration with Best Buy you are flipping a coin for the type of quality you will get. After they left I cleaned off the many fingerprints they had left on my screen. I do not think that I will reschedule the appointment, the TV looks fine to me with the settings I have already adjusted it with. It just does not seem worth the trouble.

What's great about it: Plenty of Chipmunk songs, Chipettes
What's not so great: The Human Actors
I honestly do not know what all the bad reviews for this move were for. I personally liked it more than the original. In the first one the relationship between the main human characters felt forced, and did no flow with the rest of the movie. In contrast, the relationship between the human characters in this added humor to the movie. But, of course, the main reason people see this movie is for the chipmunks, and here we get a double dosage. The chipettes were well integrated and felt like a welcomed addition to the story. The humorous scenes with the chipmunks will doubtless keep kids and adults entertained, however, when they are not there and the human actors must fend for themselves, the humor begins to fall short. Overall, an entertaining movie, that may be much more bearable for parents than some other films.

what do calibration mean

my tv has line in it and take a while to see a picture

My Picture on my television is distorted and takes a while to get a picture and when I do get a picture there are lines in the back ground
A calibration is an optimization of your television done by a professional with professional equipment (meters etc.). What you are experiencing will not be fixed by a calibration, but sounds like an issue with the TV or some connections.
