I don't remember it being over the top exceptional but it was ok. Let's just say it didn't stand out beyond the norm. That early scene was phenomenal in the ceiling speaker usage though. So much that I had to rewind immediately and get a second helping.

John Wick Chapter 2.... almost as good as the first. It's hard to follow up with a simple movie like "John Wick" and expect it to be fresh, but they did a good job at changing it up instead of just repeating the ticked off John mantra because of his dog and car. Peter Stormare makes a 10 minute cameo at the beginning and he's hilarious as always.
on a side note, I'm kind of a firearms ENTHUSIAST shall we say, and it's very VERY obvious in the sequel that Keanu really trained HARD with his gun handling. Stances, reload techniques, jam clearing, he did it all like he had put in the work. And actually he did. He trained for MONTHS at Taran tactical (which is actually why he chose the specific weapons he did in the "tasting"...Taran trained him on those guns as they are his speciality in the training world) and there are some videos of him doing some impressive 3 gun moves on youtube.
it's even more blood soaked than the original (over double the body count) and includes the famous "he killed 3 guys with a pencil" seen for all to see. 4.25/5

Just got back from seeing John Wick 2 and thought it was good. IMO I'd like to have seen them change it up more than they did. Not saying it isn't great it is but they didn't deviate much from the original. In this one much like the last he's pretty upset about something they've done.

Finally got around to watching The Martian. Walmart had the Blu Ray on sale for $12.00, so I picked it up. Really good flick, will have to watch it again.

Nocturnal Animals on regular Blu (1080p), 2D, dts 5.1 (Master A). ...Not much LFE here.
What a twisted flick! It's almost painful, almost controversial, almost provoking, almost disturbing, almost hurtful, almost depriving.
No 4K, no 3D, no Atmos boom boom with this baby. It's perfect to become a status cult film. Except that you won't find it on VHS.
I would say; give it a shot for curiosity sake, but be warned of its twisted and painful and violent content.
This is not your regular Disney family flick. It's more for the avant-garde clientele on the edge of the precipice. IMO
My own twisted brain movie rating score: 66 (for overall fashion)

Watched "Arrival". I thought the Audio and picture quality was excellent. I thought the storyline was lacking development. It seemed like 50% of the film was a repeated vision. I think they barely made the cutting room floor with enough to make it movie theater length. It could have been much better if they had spent some time developing the storyline. A for audio A fo r video C+ or B- for storyline development.

Same here, last night I watched 'Moana' in 3D (Blu). That was cool, not perfect 'Doctor Strange' style but pretty cool.
Animation in 3D is always easier and looks more colorful and bright on our screens.
Lots of vibrancy here, and the characters in that equal spirit. Right on!

We watched Sing and Assasins Creed both in 4K last night. We both enjoyed Sing and the video was fantastic. It's a good clean family movie. As for Assasins Creed it was just ok although my wife didn't think much of it. Reviews have been bad and I can see why. My enjoyment was more on the audio/video front as it was amazing. Some real eye and ear candy if you can leave your brain at the door.

That was an interesting take. We liked it too. Watched it a couple weeks ago with,
Arrival
Hacksaw Ridge
Secret life of pets
Manchester by the sea
And watched a bunch of "the pacific" all in one weekend. All good choices. Hacksaw ridge is worth a buy for sure. It was done in a way I haven't seen/heard before. Excellent.

I've seen all the ones you mentioned except Manchester. HR is a great movie I agree. I am glad I bought it. I bought Arrival as a blind buy even though it has so many mixed reviews. I really enjoyed it.
