Entertaining but not as good as the first
on July 1, 2018
Posted by: Anodyne
from Durham, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fun movie if you like giant robots and monsters, but not as good as the first movie. The absence of characters from the original movie (Raleigh Beckett, Herc Hansen, Hannibal Chau, etc.) is not mentioned or explained. There are a couple twists that are good, but nothing that will stretch your brain.
The quality of the video, sound, etc. is excellent.

Works as well as genuine Apple
on December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This charger seems to work just as well as the genuine Apple charger and it's cheaper. The only downside is that it is a little larger than the Apple charger, so if you are planning on using this with a dock or stand or other device that the charger needs to fit into, you should verify that it will fit. It's noted in the product descriptions that it is not the same size as the OEM charger, so I don't dock any points for that.

Enjoy personal movie night with this LG 4K television. This 43-inch model is compact enough for use in a bedroom or dining area, but its Ultra HD imagery powers entertainment in a small family room. This LG 4K television includes SmartTV capabilities, so you can stream content from favorite providers.

Great mid-size TV
on September 13, 2017
Posted by: Anodyne
from Durham, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fine mid-size TV with a good picture and really good sound. We also have a 55" Panasonic which is also great, but this 43" LG has much better/louder sound quality - no soundbar needed for a bedroom TV unless you are really an audiophile.
Picture is quite good, not sure that I see any real benefit to the 4K resolution and HDR at this time but it's future-proofing (I don't have a 4K disc player or a source that supports HDR yet). Have tried some Netflix 4K streaming and it looked fine, but from 8 feet away couldn't really discern that much difference from full HD.
Remote works well. Also have been pleasantly surprised at how snappy the built-in apps work - we also have a Roku 2, a PS3, a PS4 and the Panasonic TV's built-in apps. This LG's built-in apps seem to run faster than all of those.
Paid a bit more for this LG than similar models by Insignia and Hisense, but so far happy with the purchase!

Good movie within expectations
on June 9, 2017
Posted by: Anodyne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not as good as the original Harry Potter stories, but an entertaining movie and worth watching. It helps if you remember enough from the Harry Potter books to recognize some of the references. Some of the parts are a little too silly and targeted at kids, but hey its a Harry Potter movie - kids are the target audience! If you are a grown up just go with it and don't take it so seriously.

Not the best Marvel movie but still mightily entertaining. Visually different from other superhero movies and opens up lots of new potential directions for the series. Also refreshing to watch a superhero movie where the climactic showdown doesn't really resolve itself using big explosions! Blue-ray quality is great of course.

Protect your Apple Watch with this X-Doria Defense Edge case. It's made to fit any item from the 42mm Apple Watch collections, so you won't have to change your case when you change your watch. The X-Doria Defense Edge case is lined with soft rubber to prevent the metal from touching the watch.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a pretty good product and probably worth buying, with a few caveats. It is a simple item (product info says metal although it feels like plastic) and is lined with a softer material to prevent scratching the watch. The price seems high for what it is, but all of these watch accessories are overpriced everywhere. You must make sure you buy the correct size for your watch (the Apple watch comes in two sizes) - there are other reviews saying it did not fit well and fell off. I would bet money they bought the incorrect size for their watch.
The shell is lightweight and I didn't really notice it made my watch feel bulkier. It does however make it LOOK bulkier, probably because it creates a visible frame around the watch so you perceive it as larger than it really is. It provides good protection for the edges of the watch and the digital crown, but don't expect it to protect the actual screen too much. I highly recommend a screen protector, just like a phone.

![Die Hard: 25th Anniversary Collection [5 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/7744/7744283_sa.jpg)
This box set contains the original Die Hard, as well as Die Hard 2, Die Hard With a Vengeance, and Live Free or Die Hard as well as an extensive documentary about the successful franchise.
Posted by: Anodyne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good value for an entertaining series of movies - some better than others, but all worth watching. Blu-ray quality is good, as is sound. My one complaint is that this box set does not come with digital copies - I've gotten used to receiving digital copies through Ultraviolet with all Blu-ray movies I but these days. I knew before I bought the set that it did not include the digital copies, which explains the bargain price. But I am still deducting one star because of that, I would have gladly paid a few bucks more to have gotten the digital copies but there was not that option at the time.

Good entertaining movie
on January 9, 2017
Posted by: Anodyne
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good entertaining movie, but certainly not the best in the series. Although these movies are all well-crafted they are starting to run together and feel like the same action sequences repeated. A fun watch but nothing so original. Plotline is an attempt to bring the ago of Snowden into the series. Still recommended though, if you are a fan of the series. Quality of blu-ray is fine.

Fun movie, not trying as hard as Into Darkness was. Watches more like a really extended original series episode. Felt the twist near the end and the actual ending were predictably contrived, but the character interactions throughout the movie make it worth watching for a Trek fan.

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 3TB capacity.
Is this a WD "Blue" drive
No, this is a WD 'Green' drive. It is intended for storage. If you are looking for a primary or boot drive, this is not the best choice. It is designed to 'spin down' after a short period of non-use to conserve power. For a boot drive, look to the WD Black or Blue drives.
