I had high hopes for this movie, but admit I was not a Strange fan from my childhood days (60-70s). The visual effects were very good, but dark at times (literally) and sound matched up well. The story line was not as I remembered but better and I enjoyed the acting of all especially "The Ancient One". I will probably opt for any sequel as I was caught up in the story.
I knew that this was NOT the Mission Impossible series but was intrigued, read the recap and decided it was interesting enough to purchase. I was not wrong. I found the lack of knowledge of any of the actors kept me engaged in their roles instead of assuming their reactions. Good story line, nice action sequences and overall fun experience.
We all know it happens and are sometimes surprised at the aggressiveness with which it does. The dirt, underhanded tricks, money, adult situations and even camaraderie between opponents is disturbing. Why we allow this in our Democracies is troubling. Entertainment is what we all seem to relate to and Bullock and Thornton deliver.
The Bond movies have always been some of my favorites, even the cheesier ones. Sean Connery, then Pierce Brosnan have been my favorites but now Daniel Craig has finally emerged into the role. This movie displays all of the great themes and none of the more questionable ones, for me. This had just the right amount of drama, surprise, technology and fight scenes to keep me on the edge of my recliner.
I like Tom Hanks in almost anything and this was no exception. He brings balance and believability to the role. The cold war has been over for over 25+ years and this story line brings back the news of the days when I was in my 30's. Great film and a nice break from all the techno (which I like also) and the current fight scenes that prevail in most movies.

Needed to replace a larger surge protector for my desk to supply outlets for cell phone/tablet charging as well as security cameras. The footprint of the Surgearrest was 15% of what it replaced and supplied 3 outlets, 3 USB connections and a cradle area. Bonus was the 6 outlet surge that can always be used someplace where aesthetics isn't as important.

I have one of these and needed to get another for travel, this works perfect for any use. The blue one matches my laptop and looks more professional than the old black one. My first one has been very dependable and still performs great.

I bought three of these as gifts because I liked the concept behind them. Trouble is that the application to connect to my phone and/or iPad does not recognize the drive. My phone connects to the drive but the app doesn't 'see' the drive in order to transmit data to it. I have searched for other apps to no avail and will now have to contact Sandisk for help.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Will Smith was, well, Will Smith. A little bit away from what roles he has played in the last several years but a nice mix of the action and drama that he is so capable of delivering. The interaction with his team seemed on par with the Ocean's franchise and yet the twists were frequent and quite unpredictable.

Some of my favorite actors were in this film and the plot was advertised as one that I believed had the potential to be a great movie. Sadly, it was lacking that something extra to reach the next plateau.
