nodle Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 What's everyone new take on the new Disney +? Something that your interested in? I'm not really I have most of the Disney movies so it's not that big of a deal to me. I think they would had been better just to add everything to Netflix.

ndboarder Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I intend to do the week trial and get a better idea starting sometime this weekend. Testing some other things with entertainment options already. For less than $100 a year it doesn't seem bad to have full access to all Disney films (plus Marvel, Star wars, some original series and a lot of older shows). I own plenty if Disney / Pixar films, but easy to consider the subscription a wash and just not purchase new content. Will have to see. From a pure business sense I'm sure they make more on their own service and millions of subscribers than getting a small bit from Netflix for the content. I think I'd be more likely to keep Disney+ than Netflix if doing only one though. Not much of the Netflix original content appeals to me or is not all that family friendly. Their movie selection and delay in movies has only seemed to get worse over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Well just signed up for the trial, quite the selection actually, might keep it for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 I think I have been watching more of Disney + than the kids. Just watched The Mandalorian and it was surprisingly really good, can’t wait to see more episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndboarder Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I signed up for the trial, but haven't watched anything yet. The $7 a month tag isn't bad, but hte option to pay $70 for the year is what I chose. Figured I might as well get a couple months free. There's a few of the Marvel movies I haven't seen/watched yet and the Mandelorian that I want to watch, but plenty of movies and shows in their lineup that I'd watch - I'm basically just a really old kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ya so far I have been enjoying it. I thought the kids would enjoy it, but seems like I am using it more. Watched The Flight of the Navigator the other night, such a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few original series that I like, which is the only reason why I continue to have it. But once those are done....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just release a new episode of the The Mandalorian, awesome show so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndboarder Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I started The Mandalorian last night. Only watched the first couple episodes. It's a bit slower moving than I expected, but good so far. Hope to watch the rest of the released episodes over the next night or two if I have some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Pav Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Still have the subscription. I know my son binge watched pretty much every movie he was interested in like The Incredibles, Up and a few others so now bored of it. I started the Star Wars series in releases order. So far finished A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. I got to watch the rets of the second one with son as he was home sick for a half a few weeks ago and I fell asleep watching it the night before so started it where I left off. He enjoyed it fair enough but so many questions. Hope to continue the rest soon. I will say I was not prepared for the 4k or whatever remastered look they gave it./ Not really a fan of it in the first but by the second I got used to it. Also, no 7.1 sound on these.

Also, no 7.1 sound on these. I've not watched the films on Disney+, are you saying it looks different than say the Blu-Ray releases of the original movies - or had you not seen the movies since long ago? As far as the 7.1 sound, I think what audio you get from Disney+ titles is currently a bit dependent on which device you stream from. I read that the films are playing in Atmos on say Apple TV and Nvidia Shield, but The Mandelorean does not. On those same devices Dolby Vision works well (12-bit form of HDR color) - then on a Roku device the Atmos sound is on the films and show, but it doesn't have Dolby Vision Suffice to say, I think which Dolby audio profiles are currently working on different platforms varies, but I'm sure they'll eventually get things squared away and see them working more uniformly with all expected profiles before long.

nodle Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'll admit I use Disney + way more than I thought I would. In fact I think I use it more than Netflix now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndboarder Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I caught up on The Mandelorian the other night. Seems to have gotten a bit better as it goes, or maybe I just have been drawn more into the arching story line. Now the wait for the next episode has set in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndboarder Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Well, watched Episode 8 of The Mandelorian over the weekend. Enjoyed the series, sad that the first season is already done and anything new will be late next year at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the series, sad that the first season is already done and anything new will be late next year at least. I didn’t even know this was the final episode until this kept hearing people saying it was. I thought there would be at least 12 for the season. I thought the last episode was quite weak. I hoped for something different. Still a great series all and all though and I can’t wait for the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmanz Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Everyone enjoying the new Mandalorian season? Our family really likes the series, the episodes go too quick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Yup a good clean show and mostly kid friendly. They should do a few other series as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I hate to say it, but I think the only thing holding this channel together is the Mandalorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanz Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Pretty hard to make content right now. Just think of the lock down restrictions where most things are filmed at. California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 So I just wanted to vent a little bit about Disney +. I cancelled it because there was nothing on, and then my kids wanted to watch the new 'Raya' movie. They said it's available on Disney plus, so I singed up last night. Only to find out it's only available on Disney 'Premier Access'. WTF is this shit? So let me get this straight YO DAWG, you have to pay the base Disney +, and then upgrade another level? What's next a Disney 'diamond access', which would be a tier above 'Premier Access'? Kind of pissed me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "another level" of Disney+ The "premier access" is the ability to watch THIS ONE MOVIE on their streaming service now for less than it would cost to go to a theater get tickets and snacks. Alternately, you can wait until June when it is available to any Disney+ member. Not really different than all the other services that have had movie premiers on streaming at the same time as theatrical release where it was $20-30 to "rent" the movie for 2 days only to have to buy it again after digital release if you want the movie for your collection.
