Decent 4K Visuals, Loud Surround, But Not Worth It

I would only purchase the UHD 4K disc if you are a diehard fan of the series. Otherwise, I would recommend to rent the movie only. The movie itself I thought was boring and essentially the same as all the previous movies. The HDR is decent, particularly with all the explosions as those got bright. The Atmos track is very loud. There were several scenes that had me jump and surprised me. After watching it once, I turned around and sold it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice All-in-One Solution, Came w/BB Gift Cards Too

I grabbed this printer up one week when my 10 year old inkjet ran out of black ink, and decided to purchase a new printer. I based my search on price & overall features. I wanted one with a top-load scanning feature. This one had all the features I would need. While I'd prefer a color laserjet, I couldn't find one anywhere near this price point. I then moved on to the price, and settled on this unit. While it costed a little more than the other models I was looking at, I chose this as it had $90 in BB gift cards. Granted, I could've bought directly from Canon with that amount deducted as sale price, but then I couldn't pick it up that day. So I chose the BB gift cards. It's been a nice purchase and can't complain. While it has a bigger footprint than my old Canon, it's faster, has larger paper tray, more scan features, can duplex, can scan and print multiple pages front&back.

Saw it at the theater and enjoyed it but wouldn't say that it's a favorite. I picked up the 4K copy while it was on sale for $14.99. I'd say it's worthy to keep in my collection. The special effects look good on the UHD 4K disc. There's some decent surround sound in the movie. Don't recall anything in my upper speakers with Atmos that stood out.

I enjoyed the movie at the theaters. While watching the 4K UHD disc, I even forget a few scenes that made me laugh again. Another Marvel hit for me. It's entertaining, has Marvel action & a few laughs here & there. I haven't watched the bluray disc. The digital copy will redeem in UHD at Google & VUDU when registering thru Movies Anywhere. The 4K disc is great and surround sound is good. I didn't notice anything in regards to Atmos levels; so didn't hear anything that stood out in my ceiling speakers. My player doesn't support Dolby Vision, so can only commit on the HDR. I'd say nominal experience there; nothing too outstanding that stood out. I'll resample the Dolby Vision after Thanksgiving when I pickup an Oppo 203 player. This movie is probably #2 or #3 in my favorite movies list for 2017.

I bought this solely in order to use it for my VUDU streaming. I had been holding off until my Denon 3300W receiver received the Dolby Vision update. While my 2016 LG B6 OLED has VUDU built-in, it doesn't support Dolby Atmos over HDMI ARC. So that's it, I'm using the Ultra Chromecast for when I want to stream my movies from VUDU, so that I can get both Dolby Vision & Dolby Atmos. I'd give it 5 stars, but Google is falling behind on their 4K content support.

Pacific Rim [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2013]
A Reference 4K Disc for Both HDR & Atmos
Customer Rating
5.0
I always enjoyed Pacific Rim in the past for its stunning visual special effects. The 4K disc was finally on sale recently and I picked it up and couldn't wait to finally sample the 4K. The video quality is outstanding and the HDR provides a ton of color pop throughout the film. I only wish it was available in Dolby Vision on disc. I think the Dolby Vision looks better than standard HDR, and you can get that on VUDU. However, I prefer discs over streaming sources. When watching on VUDU, you get some mild distortion around fast moving frames. It's not a huge deal, but it is noticable to me. Now to the sound, the Dolby Atmos is excellent. You can a ton of sound field effects in all your surround speakers including upper speakers. The base is pounding throughout. I love the base when the baby kaiju is being born. Overall, this is one of my top 4K discs that I would consider to be a reference disc for sampling for others. A definite recommended purchase for video & audiophiles.

Make Sure You Redeem Digital Code w/VUDU
Customer Rating

If you redeem your digital code at VUDU after 9/9/17, it will give you the UHD copy. If you redeemed prior to that date, call Disney and they will give you an UHD copy over the phone. I enjoyed this movie at the theaters, and I think I had more laughs than the first movie. Both visual and audio quality if good, but I wouldn't put this 4K movie up there as any reference disc.

I picked this unit because it was the cheapest food processor with the largest capacity that I could find. I have no complaints as of yet. I've only used it so far to make my salsa, which is way easier now. I was using an emulsifier that I had laying around the house, as that sucked.

Movie Itself OK, 4K is Worth Adding to Collection
Customer Rating
4.0
I saw the movie at the theater back during the holidays and thought it was merely OK. After reading some reviews on YouTube I decided to pick it up since it was $19.99. I primarily wanted to sample the video quality, as internet says it was shot with a 6.5K camera and finished at 4K. There aren't a whole of UHD movies that are actually finished in 4K. While the movie is still OK, the video quality was excellent and the Atmos soundtrack is pretty good too. There are several scenes with a lot of bass for your surround sound system. A likely great date night flick on the couch.

Good Visual Movie in UHD 4K
Customer Rating
5.0
I saw this at the theater and thought it was OK and decent. I was only vaguely familiar with the anime series but never watched any of them. I was told a friend that it was visually fantastic in IMAX 3D. I thought it looked great in 4K on my LG OLED. I can't compare it to 2k bluray, as I hardly ever watch the bluray version anymore. This film is in 1.78:1 which is great, so the film fills your entire TV screen with no black bars. The Dolby Atmos sounds pretty good, and you get some decent sound impact in a few spots in the movie. I would rate the overall movie as above average, and have no regrets adding it to my collection.

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.

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.

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.

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.
