This is a fun movie to watch and has a great sound track. Special effects are good but do not take the plot too seriously.

This is a epic movie based on a classic story. Sometimes the CG effects are over the top. But with out CG the movie could not be made. Can't wait for the third movie.

The color matches my camera case. The case is a little loose but fits tight enough to provide good protection for my Mcbook Pro. Case will allow you to slide some hard copies in beside the Mcbook.

I liked this movie as it had quality production values and good quality sound. Acting was better than your average sifi drama. The cg was a little too much but that is expected with movies nowdays. Good movie for home theater.

Good at streaming internet media

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this unit because my Sony N100 was not reliable at streaming media from my pc. I have all my CDs on the hard drive. Sony dropped the price and that made the price more in line with the competition. This unit has had no issues streaming from my pc. I have not connected with the cable box and I am using it at this point as a stand alone device.
My Best Buy number: 0733479357

What's great about it: Improvement from earlier sony media servers
What's not so great: Can not control this device with Harmony remote
