3D / 4K Combi-Pak treat
on June 29, 2018
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's fun. It's noisy. It's got a a goofy plot with OK acting. But. it will stand the test of time because it's got great special effects, stays true to it's sci-fi imaginary future and delivers everything you came for. The 3D is great. The 4K doesn't add much more, but for the price, why not?

MISSPENT DOLLARS
on December 26, 2017
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sci-Fi, for those who love it, has to only meet minimal criteria.
Writing: spend dollars on a credible story that keeps the audience wondering and adheres to some logical (even if only internal) explanation. This was messy, eventually unsatisfying, although it adheres to the comic book. But, I'll watch awful 50s Sci-Fi repeatedly, so I'm an easy sell.
Characters: You've got to love the characters. The need to have some serious commitment to their story or else I won't believe it, either. Big miss. Spending money on actors who bring credibility makes a difference. The leads were cute. Chewbaca was cute, too. ET was cute. Not going to carry a movie alone. Careers may have ended here.
Special effects. Now a necessity, these alone won't sell a movie. These were wonderful, often unique, but ultimately, not enough.
Disappointing, frustrating, and not a very compelling re-watch. So much promise, so close, and yet, production money spent on all the wrong things.Too bad.
I'm going to give it 3 stars, because it wasn't Battlefield Earth bad. It is watchable Sci-Fi for the die hard fan, dazzling and noisy. Not much else.

Saturday Afternoon Sci-Fi . . . revived
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I grew up watching Saturday afternoon "B", or was that "C", monster or Sci-Fi movies. The formula: a few scientists, an isolated location, a discovery of a seemingly benign creature, and the inevitable accident. What makes this movie different? Well, to be perfectly honest, nothing much. Scientists, space craft, alien creature and an accident. Mayhem ensues. Folks . . . you watch these again and again to see how attractive the scientists are, how menacing the creature, how dumb is the accident, and how big the risk for the rest of us. "LIFE" works at every level, with great image quality and sound. Ahh . . just enjoy and stop thinking about it.

You won't feel silly reaching for a seat belt.
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Baby Driver elevates a familiar plot to new heights. A plot where a naive participant in a criminal enterprise tries to go straight is not new. Baby Driver adds a few twists, accelerates the action, mixes in a perfect sound track, and provides a nastier than usual selection of antagonists. And there's more. You're completely drawn in by the richly written "Baby" character and the young romance seems possible if not practical. If you like your movies to take your breath away but not leave you feeling you've just watched a game on auto-play, Baby Driver is just perfect. You won't feel silly reaching for a seat belt.

WHY DID I WAIT THIS LONG?
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm in love with my washer (and matching Dryer). It's so easy to use. It has great capacity.The clothes are not taking such a beating. There are a large number of cycles to choose from. Clothes come out of the washer drier, so the actual dryer time is lower. It's super quiet. If a washer/dryer combination can be said to be luxury, this is luxury

Kong Reimagined
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Kong story is pretty securely entrenched in the media archives. He's not under assault from creative writers. His essence has been distilled and used to deliver newer and slightly different themes into the movie catalog. This one begins as the end of the Vietnam War. I suppose you can find a message here if you ignore the action, but you could also simply let the rush of aggression and testosterone, wrapped in slick effects and narrative entertain you. I'm gonna ignore the message and turn the volume up. Great 3D and thunderous bass.

Extends the Reacher catalog.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Credible plot, good protagonists but really shallow bad guys. Rare movie where the "kid-at-risk" doesn't make you groan every time they're onscreen. We liked it well enough even if it was by-the-numbers.

Imaginative with great 3D
on April 7, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
JKR creates wonderfully imaginative stories and characters. The movie which we watched using our 3D projector reminded us why we still love 3D presentations. Mostly a low light film, it was still colorful and had nice depth to fully exploit the 3D imagery. Great fun for everyone.

A separate, delayed 3D release?
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: TECHBEENGOODTOME
from AUSTIN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Of course I love the film. Saw it in the theater and purchased the Blu-ray release. But, this blatant manipulation of fans with a slightly delayed 3D release is offensive. I don't think those disinterested in 3D disks ought to pay for them, and creating a few packages with various options makes sense. I'm willing to pay for multi-disc packages. Paying a full price premium, TWICE, is foul play.
I can think of no better way to burn off good will and create an angry fan base that this type of crass money grab by the studio. Best Buy is unlikely to have any decision-making role, but they ought to push back on studios that play these games.

This washer requires that it be drained every so often? How often do you have to drain excess water and how much volume needs to be drained?

It sounds like you're having a problem. I don't drain . . . ever. In the past, with previous machines, drainage problems were a result of a blocked/kinked drainage hose. With one of those incidents, a hairpin was stuck in the drainage motor assembly. Recommendation: Call service.

Are people normal proportioned on the screen?

My son in law has a 60 inch flat screen HD LED and the people are all proportioned like dwarfs. Is that the case on this TV? I don't know how to ask this question any differently.

Thanks
No insults intended in this response. It's not the TV. It's either the signal sent to the TV or the settings the end user is choosing. Or both.

This TV, like all modern HD LD sets, will have various ASPECT RATIO settings. Choosing the appropriate aspect ration will give normal sized/shaped images. Choosing the wrong aspect ratio will give oddly proportioned people. Most importantly, if you actually feed HD signals and not upscaled SD signals, this should all happen automatically. Sadly, cable providers make it too easy for customers to send the wrong type of signal to their TV. If you're paying for HD TV channels, you should be viewing the HD channels. Time to find a tech savvy neighbor to come over and help.

Is this TV wall mountable

I have a Sony 52" I am replacing. The brackets are universal (from what I am told) I would love to use my existing brackets and mount this TV to my wall. So, is it wall mountable and what are the measures of the holes so I can check my brackets. In store I can not see behind the TV well enough to measure the distances.
Definitely. In fact, I'm using pre-existing brackets I installed for the Toshiba TV I'm replacing. LG uses universal mounting holes. Actual hole locations are not relevant, because the bracket will have multiple holes which should align with the LG. The brackets used on the SONY will simply move over to this TV and you'll find the holes to be either in the same location or easily aligned. Bolt length might be different, so dig out the original accessory package.

Only at Best BuyListen to music from your compatible Bluetooth-enabled device with this Modal MD-SPBT01-BK portable speaker that enables on-the-go wireless audio playback. A speakerphone function lets you enjoy hands-free calling.
 

change ringtone

How can I change the ringtone on the portable speaker when it is Bluetooth connected to my phone?
Ringtones are set by the phone, and the speaker will only pass through that tone. I'd be surprised if you could modify the speaker separately.
