I have successfully mounted the shares of the NAS. I still have not been able to get them to automount at start up, i need to add a sleep command but am unsure of how, ill be reading about this.
I’m going to write the steps i took, it may help others, and also for a reference.

then open terminal
sudo -i
(to become root user)
mkdir /media/NAS/Movies

(to verify folder creation)
cp -p -a /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-old

mount -a
this mounts all the shares, but most run sudo mount -a at startup. Reading about sleep command for it wait, unsure of what and where to put it.
