Just watched Bright on Netflix. Pretty good movie and had lots of action, laughs and other good stuff. Hard to believe they didn't release this on the big screen. I think it's a matter of time before theaters are closing down as new quality movies go direct to stream.

    I thought this thread was going to be about RTi/RTiA speakers.

    No silly. It's the music and movies area. Bright as a movie is not the same as bright speakers which is more subjective. :)

    So did the movie have a warm, laid-back sound?

    Started to watch...seemed like it will be pretty good. But it’s late and I’m tired so I’ll finish it another time.

    I was too onto the story to pay much attention to sound. I have to say it was good though. Still dialing in all my new equipment and my HT/Office is kind of a auditory nightmare. Was a good movie though. I too am tired and sleep time is here. Hope more chime in with their thoughts.

    I don’t have Netflix so I won’t be seeing it right away but I did check out the trailer. Looks like a cross between the old Alien Nation tv series and a World of Warcraft computer game. I don’t think stand alone movies are as good as ten episode series these days. Maybe they are headed in that direction with this? Looks like they had a decent budget behind this along with a top notch director and big money actors. I don’t really understand how Netflix turns a profit, but they seem to be doing well.

    Well over $100 million subscribers paying $10-15 bucks a month. Almost more Netflix subscribers than cable subscribers. Plus more revenue generated for Samsung, Amazon, Apple etc. to license the application and pre install it in their streamers and TVs.

    The critics have been tearing this apart, stuff them.
    I enjoyed it and thought it would be fun if they made it a series.

    Not a great movie, but I enjoyed it. Kind of a big Will Smith fan, as well as a fan of LotR, so I found it fun.

    I would have a hard time getting through this even if Will Smith and his wife weren't effing nutjobs. :p
