Rating:  - * Great Speakers ... These are great speakers for the money. I would recommend these to anyone looking to enhance their backyard with some tunes. Rating: - * Polk 45 Atrium Speakers ... Installed a pair of these speakers at our patio. I'm very happy with the results, I'm by no means an "audiophile" but these speakers sound great and were very easy to install. I have a neighbor who has 3 pair of these same speakers, 2 pair on his deck and another at his garage and after listening to his speakers I was sold on buying these. Very good quality materials too, and they are paintable. Rating: - * Never Disappointed With Polk ... I own many Polk speakers including models dating back to the mid 80's (10's, 5's, and 4.6 series just to name a few). These Atrium 45's are my newest addition. Because of our current budget, I seriously considered spending less and therefore looked at some of the other models in the top ten sellers list. But, I am very devoted to Polk. Why? Because they sound great. If you are debating whether or not to spend the extra cash for these (like I was), I promise you will not be sorry with the sound quality and the overall quality of this speaker system. I am very happy that I purchased these speakers. One more note worthy of mention: the bass output from these tiny speakers is very impressive. Rating: - * SOUNDS GREAT ... I INSTALLED TWO OF THESE SPEAKERS ON FRONT OF MY HOUSEBOAT. THEY SOUND AWESOME, AND LOOK GREAT ALSO. I PLAN TO GET ONE MORE SET FOR UPPER DECK FOR WHEN WERE ANCHORED OUT AND HAVING A PARTY. Rating: - * Reasonable price and on time. ... These speakers are great! They were easy to install and sound great! I would use these people again. |
It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named "Wilson") that becomes Chuck's closest "friend." Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave.
It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of The Black Stallion and The Blue Lagoon to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows Cast Away to resonate more than one might expect. Even the final scene--which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise--offers hope without shoving it down our throats. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but Cast Away remains a respectable effort. --Jeff Shannon
