And the Atmos was outstanding with HUGE DEEP BASS

Ya, but how was the movie ? That entire series doesn't get the greatest reviews.

I enjoyed all three. Movies don't need to be best picture nominees for me to really enjoy them :)

We have finally stepped up and started watching Game of Thrones -- Atmos version!  Awesome soundtrack!  We ended up doing 5 episodes.  Will soon have to get the second season (that was an outright requiement from LOML after getting started).

I read the books about 10 years ago, so I need to start over.  And at that time Martin had not yet written the last book.  These are the kinds of things that make life worth living...   ;D

Did a lot of searching for Game of Thrones options.  Amazon offerings are somewhat confusing and mostly high priced.  I found an Atmos set (Seasons 1-6) on eBay for $73 including shipping -- highly rated seller.  Should have it within the week and will update here. 

eBay is not my favorite marketplace though I have been able to successfully get a number of deals.  Always lurking in my mind is whether I'm being scammed.  But that's what credit cards are for...  Anyway, as said, I'll update -- delivery expected NLT early next week.

I watched The Accountant tonight, on 4K BR. I liked the movie as did my 4 audience members. The transfer is sure wonky though. Sometimes it looks great, other time, not great.

My $73 dollar (less than half MSRP) purchase of Game of Thrones 1-6 has proved to be just fine.  It actually contains all six original blu ray discs boxes with Atmos (selling now for $30 - $40 apiece individually).  To say the least, I've very pleased!  8)

Watched the UHD disc Jack Reacher: Never Go Back on my Oppo 203 and JVC RS500.

I found the picture to be rather dark in HDR.    I switched to BT.2020 SDR instead.

I thought the picture quality was average, but barely even noticed the Atmos soundtrack.

I am glad I rented it instead of purchase.  A one time viewing was sufficient and I won't be adding this one to my collection.

I did like the first one quite a bit. Too bad this one wasn't as good.

A couple of the fight scenes were excruciatingly long... I used them as an opportunity to go get another beer and still be back before Reacher finished off his opponent.

watched trolls 4k.  I saw this in the theater with my son (first theater movie in a looong time). looked and sounded 100x better at home.

the music and sound overall are outstanding in this....and the colors are so vibrant...great demo material

"looked and sounded 100x better at home"

This is why my wife and I seldom ever go to a theater anymore -- the audio has been better at home for many years.  Now with the new B6 (while not projection size), the much larger picture and amazing image AND the Atmos/DTS:X sound just make theaters mostly a disappointment.  Even my grandsons now think our LR is better.  Fortunately, at 12 and14 they're into a somewhat higher level movie.  (And their Mom is a real stickler for age appropriate -- that would be my daughter.)   :-*  <pride and love all over!>

Still working through Game of Thrones -- mid-Season 3.

Most of my Bluray collection is the typical action/sci-fi/horror fair but I have a few classics as well.
Last weekend I slid in Scarface. You know that feeling when something just clicks? Even though I have seen it several times I was completed absorbed, as if it was the first spin. Many people have no interest in watching a movie more than once. Thankfully I'm not one of them.
