It's still an entertaining movie to watch, just not as fun and exciting as the original. It was really more of the same, and exact duplicate as the first movie. I'm not hating on it, and I'm actually interested to see if they make a 3rd movie with Hallie and Channing in it. HDR was pretty good in this movie. The Dolby Atmos, didn't really notice anything special.

It's a decent movie and worth the watch, but I thought the first two movies were more enjoyable. I never would've purchased it on 4K, but it was on sale during Father's Day. The overall video and audio quality is good. There's some good bass during the big wall explosion, and minimal overheads with a few scenes.

I went to see this at the theater after the Xmas holidays just to get out of the house and wasn't expecting anything much. I was really surprised at how much I really enjoyed it, and it was really funny too. I decided to pick up the 4K copy when it was on sale for Father's Day week. It's still a good movie to watch. 4K looks decent but nothing extremely huge, and the Dolby Atmos was decent.

The Matrix is still today a movie that I thought broke grounds for original storylines. The 4K disc looks really good, has a little grain in spots but is to be expected. The Dolby Atmos added to the movie sounds really good.

I've been using a Nike Fuel Band since 2011 and had been wanting to get a new fitness band for the past couple of years. The old Nike band didn't really do much at all, but I always liked its super thin profile. Most of the smart watches today are really thick, and I have very small wrists. So I didn't want something huge on my wrist. I had been debating the Charge 2 & the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro. I wanted the Samsung more since it had more custom enhancements on the screen and was color. In the end, I decided to keep it simple instead and get the Charge 2. It had the smaller thickness of the two, it was on sale and cheaper, and used a gift card. I'm happy with the purchase.

I saw this at the theater and remember how intrigued I was with the whole story line, and it even throwing me a curveball at the end trying to decide whether the whole thing was real or a dream in the first place. Anyway, one of Nolan's best in my opinion. The 4K disc is supposed to be a true 4K transfer. I didn't notice hardly any grain at all on my OLED, since the original was filmed in 35mm and 70mm. Not much going on with the HDR enhancements. Wish it had Atmos but it doesn't; it has DTS 5.1. The sound overall is still good and loud with the Hans Zimmer score, just wish there were overhead enhancements.

Saw the movie at the theater and I quite enjoyed it. The movie is a little long but you can also press pause and finish watching later. This 4K disc is supposed to be a true 4K transfer. The visuals and HDR looks great, but wished it had Dolby Vision. Dolby Atmos sounds good and the soundtrack is loud. It's worth picking up in my opinion, even at full price.

You might get more usage out of the Google Home or Mini if you have Google Assistant on your phone, since it will work seamlessly across all your devices. I have another review for a second unit. You can find more comments on that one.

I picked up two Home Mini's on Black Friday when I had no intentions of buying one. But since they were at the very front when I walked by and saw them on sale for $30 plus w/$10 gift card, I said what the heck and bought two. I'm using one side-by-side my Echo Dot in the living room, and another one in my bedroom. I'd say that the Google units work equally as well if not better than the Amazon products. I do like that the Google Assistance on the Mini's will work in conjunction with my Pixel 2XL. So I can get more usage out of it because of that. I also use it with my Harmony Hub. It works and completes commands as good as my Echo Dot; however I do tend to have to be more specific on my commands for them to work. I have to include "Hey Google, tell Harmony..." before my command. With my Echo Dot, I only have to say "Alexa,....".

I fair and decent movie, but it wasn't in my top 10 list for sure for 2017. I bought it on sale and used some bonus points to buy it for $15. I'd say it's worth buying if it is on sale, but I wouldn't pay $30 for it. The HDR content is pretty decent as there's a lot of color in the movie that pops out of the screen. The Atmos track is decent as well. You can get some good overhead sound during one of the final chapters when the creatures are crawling and the characters are down below in the sewers.

Can I ask the Google Mini to play a certain radio station??

It can sync with certain streaming media apps and it will do this. If you have a Harmony remote and setup with a stereo receive, you should be able to issue commands to tell the Mini to change radio stations on your receiver.

Can this record? Listen in? etc?

You need Google's Nest camera for that so the Google Assistant function can work between both devices. Or you can pick up some other camera system that is Google Assistant compatible.

Will the Google Home Mini turn my TV on and off.

Not without another device. I don't know of any TV's with the Google Assistant built-in. If there was, it might work. However, you can pickup a Harmony Hub/Remote and it will work. I do this now for my TV, receiver, cable box, PS4, etc. I can tell my either my Echo Dot or Home Mini and issue commands to turn on/off my system, change channels, etc. Some commands can be a little finicky, and you have to do some customizing to get certain things working right (this is all on the Harmony side). I still have some issues with my system, but overall the majority of my commands work. There are several versions from Logitech, so check their website to see which remotes are compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant. I have the top of the line Harmony Elite.

Will this printer work with cardstock paper?

I don't see why it shouldn't or couldn't. I haven't tested it, but the new printer does include a small package of 8.5x11 thick stock paper. So it should, but will probably vary depending on thickness.

I do not use wifi, does it come with cable to connect to my desk top. thanks

It does not include a USB cable. You'll need to purchase one if that's how you intend to connect it, which USB cables are cheap, and you can use your old cable if you have one.

Does it do two sided copies and multiple page copies?

I tested this for you and yes, it should be doing both of what you asked.
I first printed out a few pages and told it to print on both sides, which it does this correctly.
I then went into the Copy/Print settings, and set:
ADF duplex scan: Duplex
2-sidedPrintSetting: 2-sided

It then made copies of what I printed out earlier, and it printed the copies on both sides.

Check the user manual here and it tells you what to set.

Hooking up projector with component cables

Trying to drive video from a blu ray player into the receiver (via hdmi) and then from receiver into projector via component cable coming out of the projector. Audio works great but cannot see any video. I am plugging the yellow video cable from the projector into the yellow video port in the back of the receiver with no luck...
You may need check the settings that display on-screen. Then you need to look at the preferred output method setting for that particular input connection. You can specify to tell that device to use specific output.

What speakers are recommended for this system

need surround speakers and need to know what is recommended. The speaker hook ups are the type that require strippable speaker wires
You can hook up whatever type of speaker wire. They are binding posts that have screws. So you can put a bare speaker wire on the post or use banana clips, etc. Anything would work.

There are more than 4 input connections. You would need to specify what type of output connection you have on those 4 components before I could tell you.
