Really, how can anyone NOT love Pete's Dragon?

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lots of love in this story and we appreciate how it shows children today many activities from yesteryear such as wood carving, forest rangers, and also the ultimate truth about Pete's Dragon revealed at the end is precious.

About what we expected. Good, okay+

We understood that being associated with Disney and released in the USA around Earth Day that it would be laden with far more guilt tripping than real info on the animals. Still, we've seen the animals in China and we saw how bad of conditions the Chinese gov puts the pandas in so the guilt WE'RE supposed to have is 100% lost on us.
But we love documentaries in general, even the ones with extreme agendas, and we did love seeing the pandas. Cute as... well, cute as bears.

Unexpectedly Good

Posted by: CoolGuyInOklahoma

Verified Purchase:Yes
I never give away spoilers but the ending leaves a little to be desired. It's my guess that not everybody will agree with me on that. Still, it's one thing that affected my full enjoyment, hence the 4 stars.
I loved the choice of B&W. Again, others might disagree with me, but it's perfect for this. I'm not a BIG horror movie fan. I am a movie fan in general and I appreciate good films in any genre. The typical horror gore isn't what bothers me (it probably should...), but it's often just so "the FX team did a good [or bad] job on the gore" to me. The B&W here allowed the gore to be fairly extreme without it being phony FX-seeming and without it being puke-yuck too. In a way, the B&W allows you to experience the movie's fright with the obvious gore not getting in the way. I think that was brilliant.
This will be a horror film you remember for a long time given it's quality even if you're not a horror buff. The film effectively hits its obviously-intended mark.

Works EXACTLY the way it should!

It's such a pleasure to get an item, it installs easily, and it works right out of the box without a hassle. I purchase a lot of external NAS drives and installs don't always go so smoothly. I like the My Book 6TB a lot, we're 100% satisfied in every way.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

I love my Alexa! Much simpler to set up than I expected, she was connected to my WiFi in under 3 minutes. She's yet failed to understand my request. Our next step is to get Ethernet-controlled outlets for lights, etc., so that Alexa can control those for us.

Superb Router

Posted by: CoolGuyInOklahoma

Verified Purchase:Yes
My "old" router was only 3 years old, and yet when we moved from 50 to 150 mpbs Internet speed, our old one could not keep up. I did NOT believe is was my router, but everybody said get a new one. The reviews said this NetGear would be great, and it is! The moment I hooked it up, I did a web speed test and saw the full 150 speed whereas 20 minutes earlier my 3-year old router always maxxed out about 42.
I love this router!!!

Simple to set up AND fast

I'm a techie kind of guy who despises difficult setups. I can do it but I always think about the others who are less technical who have to jump through hoops.
...This Netgear AC1600 router is superb, not only in its operation but also in its setup. Easy-breezy describes things perfectly. Also, *love* the fact that Netgear now assigns each router/wifi from its factory with unique usernames and passwords. It saves people from themselves!

Great, a Little Setup Needed Though

Posted by: CoolGuyInOklahoma

Verified Purchase:Yes
Arrived nicely (we ordered it online) and as always Best Buy delivered promptly. The initial taking out of the box was a little frustrating but certainly not a deal-breaker. Two panels must be removed before you can use this in the wall. The instructions said to remove only one and the way they said to do it didn't match our hardware or screws. So expect some extra time at first just getting two panels off the 6-sided boxed wall sleeve that should only have at most 5 sides, one of which you would remove during installation. (Again, we had to remove two and the way to do it wasn't obvious.)
But all was good after that!

What's great about it: Not much to go wrong, all arrived nicely, went together well.
What's not so great: A little more to take APART than anticipated before it can be used.

Is there a service that I need to purchase for full functionality?

No, Echo works with your home's existing WiFi. You can add services, such as through IFTTT.com and purchase WiFi-controlled devices such as WeMo and Phillips Hue Lighting for Alexa (Echo) to control more things, but by herself she's fully-functional.
