Great movie for a great value

If you haven't seen this movie before during its theatrical run, you definitely owe it to yourself to watch this if you're a fan of Disney or animation in general, or just want a good, fun movie with a pretty decent message that doesn't get all preachy about it.
For those that don't know, it's basically a buddy cop movie with animals, though it plays around with the fact that these are various species coexisting and uses a lot of it as metaphors for various prejudices. It's great for the kids, and is still entertaining for the adults, with quite a few jokes that would fly over the young'uns' heads. It even dips into some somewhat dark and even scary material at times, so if you've got some really young ones, you might want to watch it with them; it's not rated PG for nothing. Still, it's Disney, so it's nothing really objectionable.
As far as the quality of the blu-ray goes, it looks great on my flat-screen; I don't think you'll have any issues there. I still have yet to check out the special features, so I can't comment on those, but considering I got the combo pack that includes both the dvd and blu-ray versions, I say it's a pretty good deal at $20, if it's still being sold for that amount.

Who would have thought that Sonic would ever join forces with Dr. Eggman? The villain gathered the power of six menacing creatures with the intention of defeating Sonic and ruling the world, however, their power was too much for Eggman to contain. When the Deadly Six rise up against their master, Sonic and Eggman must unite and explore the mystical Lost Hex in an epic quest to take them on head-to-head. To defeat this deadly threat and navigate the variety of unique terrains, Sonic must cultivate an arsenal of amazing new moves and incredible Color Powers — only Sonic is powerful enough to save the world.As he races inside, outside and upside down each new level in Sonic: Lost World, you'll experience Sonic's moves like never before. Sky dive between islands at lightning speed. Vault over intimidating obstacles. Free-run up and along walls. You have the skills to tear up each exhilarating level with moves like the Spin Dash and improved Color Powers. Fly through the air and explode into enemies as you explore massive mind-bending courses, colossal sky-high structures, vast underground tunnels and more. Prepare yourself for intense boss battles as you take on each of the Deadly Six to save the world one fight at a time. With the power of the Nintendo Wii U GamePad at your fingertips, you can experience gameplay like never before — execute Color Powers by tilting, touching, aiming and more, play the full game on the GamePad without the TV or use it to race against a friend who is playing on the TV. Team up with a buddy and have a friend pilot radio-controlled gadgets that can eliminate obstacles and enemies in your path. See who has what it takes, and race your pals in a range of ultracompetitive levels and modes. It's time to experience the ultimate supersonic showdown. Are you ready?

A decent, beautiful Sonic game, not perfect
on June 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been waiting to get this particular game for a while, due to some mixed reception that it got from the gaming community at large. Some want to decry it as yet another misstep for the rocky road that is the Sonic series, and others say it's a nice callback to the old Sega Genesis days.
It's definitely one of the more unique entries of the series, and I'm still trying to decide if that's a good or bad thing. While this puts the focus more on platforming in favor of blasting through levels like many of the previous games, it has a weird, somewhat uncomfortable feel that definitely takes some getting used to. Sonic doesn't really run until you hold down the right trigger on the controller, with is jarring considering that no other game before it required another button press to do what the blue blur is known for. It's really easy to forget about this and find everything to feel much slower than you'd expect. There's also no real tutorial, and while I appreciate not having my hand held for every little thing, a practice area would have been nice. This is really going to be a love it or hate it kind of game, and I'd suggest downloading the demo off the Nintendo eShop to see if it's for you.
If there's one thing the game has going for it, it's just how pretty and colorful it looks. Like I said before, there's some definite influence from the classic days of the series, rather than the slightly more realistic look of the Adventure games or Unleashed. And I think there's even a hint of Nintendo's own famous series in here as well. There's a light story as well, and veterans of the series can probably guess how it'll go down early on; Sonic is known for twist and turns in his levels, not his plots.
In short, if you're a fan of the famous blue hedgehog, I say give it a go. There's much worse games out there, especially in this series.

Probably the best Quorra figure you'll find
on April 22, 2016
Posted by: SeaSalt

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had my eye on this figure for a while, so when I saw it on sale for $5, I knew I had to get it.
I don't think there's much, if any, merchandise of Quorra, which is a real shame. Luckily this makes up a bit for it, as she's got a nice design, and she's actually armed this time with what appears to be a katana of sorts (I don't think she had that in the movie).
If you're a TRON fan, I'd say pick it up, even if you don't play the Disney Infinity games. She's the perfect guard for your computer desk when you're not around, User.

It's basically a giftcard, what do you expect?
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: SeaSalt

Verified Purchase:Yes
For those who don't know, Nintendo has an online shop accessible through their systems (3DS, Wii U, etc.) where people can buy and download games. In order to buy games, you can either use your debit/credit card, or buy one of these eShop cards if you're not comfortable with the previous option, to add the necessary credit to your account.
That said, it's easy enough to redeem these; just go to the eShop, find the option to redeem the card, input the code, and you're good to go. No delays, and you can spend your credit immediately. As mentioned on the cards themselves, these are usable on both the 3DS and Wii U, and should be good until Nintendo rolls around their next systems down the road.

Great addition to the adventures of the Bebop crew
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: SeaSalt

Verified Purchase:Yes
The chances are good that, if you've seen the main series of Cowboy Bebop, you know of this movie. If so, there's no reason to not pick this up, since it's one more adventure for Spike and the gang and is more or less a feature-length episode.
If you haven't seen the series, this is still a pretty fun watch as a standalone movie. Prior knowledge of the characters helps, but it's not necessarily required. It might even be an inexpensive way to find out if you'd enjoy the full series, since if you like this, you'll like the whole package.

Nice figure, decent amount of game content
on December 18, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
For those not in the know, Amiibo are little figures that act as both collectibles, as well as extra content for certain games (sort of like the toys associated with Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Lego Dimensions). They're popular among nostalgic adults like myself as well as the kids.
In the case of this little gal, both she and her male counterpart unlock extra single-player missions in the Wii U game "Splatoon", as well as allowing players to unlock new clothing for their squid-kid avatars. They're not required at all to beat the single-player game, nor do they prevent players from participating in the online battles. They're purely optional.
That being said, these are some well-made figures. They're bright, colorful, cute; just a real quality figure overall. I even like the nice touch of her ammo tank being made of clear plastic with orange "ink" inside; it's so much better than making the whole thing some solid color.
So yeah, if you're a collector of Amiibos or have a friend/loved one who is, they'll enjoy this, especially if they own Splatoon to get the most out of it. Or if you just feel your life is missing some little friendly faces of the cephalopod nature.

Great collection and price, tough on hard drive
on November 7, 2015
Posted by: SeaSalt

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is probably the best deal you're going to get on the Xbox One. It's 30 games, which pretty much adds up to a dollar per game, and it's an even better deal if you catch it on sale like I did, or if you find a pre-owned copy.
While not every game is great, there's some all-time classics like the Banjo-Kazooie games, Perfect Dark, Battletoads, and Conker. It's almost the perfect dream collection for anyone who grew up playing the Nintendo 64 (though don't expect Goldeneye, as I'm guessing there's some license issues there).
The only real downside is that most of the games aren't actually included on the disc itself, and for many it acts as a middleman to downloading the included games. You won't be having to re-pay for games, but you will probably have to decide which games you want installed on your Xbox at any given time. Thankfully, you can still keep saves even if you delete the actual game data, so while rather inconvenient, at least you won't be too burdened with decisions.

There's nothing really wrong with this anti-virus software, but it's nothing that you can't find from free ones like Avast or AVG. If you get this software as a freebie with a computer you purchase from Best Buy, feel free to install it, but never pay the $50 price tag that it normally costs.

A kaiju tag-team match with some sci-fi flavor!
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: SeaSalt

Verified Purchase:Yes
Enjoy a trip into the Showa era, the period that many Godzilla fans know of as the time of Godzilla's goofier adventures, as the King of the Monsters contends with a duo of monsters from beyond the galaxy.
A Godzilla theme park is being built, but something seems very off with the people in charge of doing it. Suspicions are proven as these same "people" (won't spoil it, but they aren't what they seem) summon what is perhaps one of the most bizarre kaiju of the entire series, Gigan (imagine a chicken crossed with a lizard crossed with a robot crossed with a....you know what, just watch the movie), who is teaming up with one of Godzilla's most famous foes, King Ghidorah.
Most people know what to expect from these kind of movies, as we're eventually treated to what boils down as a wrestling match between a bunch of guys in rubber suits. Godzilla and his most-of-the-time-except-their-first-meeting ally Anguirus (basically a mutated Ankylosaurus) vs. the evil Gigan and Ghidorah. It's pretty basic kaiju antics, so if you're new to the tales of the big G, there's worse movies to start at. Nuke yourself a bag of popcorn and enjoy some old-school monster-bashing.

Godzilla fights a giant lobster, what can I say?
on August 1, 2015
Posted by: SeaSalt
from South Carolina
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fun fact: This movie was originally going to star King Kong, hence why Godzilla's opposition in this movie ranks as one of the weakest he's faced in his long career.
Honestly, this isn't one of the big G's best outings, even with it being during his sillier movies of the 60s and 70s. The biggest draw here is that for the first time, the original Japanese-language version is available in the US (hence why it carries the title of "Ebirah: Horror of the Deep"....yep, this giant crustacean had a name outside of simply "The Sea Monster"). There's not too much of a difference between it and the english-dubbed version, so feel free to watch whichever one you want.
But still, if you're an avid fan and collector of all things related to the King of the Monsters, it's a very cheap addition to your collection.
