    Yeah, I am getting into this one.

    Altho, I have no idea what the hell kind of plot is happening here... (Why do the robbers want to get in so bad?)

    But it's Fincher -- who wins the award for being the new Ridley Scott -- and Foster, who is SO HOT (and photographs so well in the hands of great directors) that I can't get over it.

    I watched CONTACT again recently, and I just love her.

    Sorry to disappoint, but the movie was less than fulfilling. There were just too many plot holes to really get caught up in the movie. BTW, I saw it in a Dolby MONO theater and the actual film looked like it was 4 centuries old, so that might have something to do with why I didn't like the movie that much. Fincher fan's will notice some very distinct "Fincher" scenes (ala Fight Club). All and all, C+. Entertaining but just lacked something.
    Sorry. :(

    Watched this Saturday night. Really enjoyed it, decent edge of the seat thriller. Not worth a purchase, but made for a great rental.


    Peace Out~:D

    I thought it looked great & was reasonably entertaining. Basically just another thriller, but better than most. I don't have prog scan, but I thought it looked great--does superbit make any difference if you don't have prog scan?

    Watched it at Theatre and home. Theatre experince was not that fulfilling but enjoyed it more at home. I agree with Ron's comment that it worth a good rental.

    WOW! Nice dig up from a YEAR ago. One of the worst movies I have even seen. And it is one of the worst Superbits ever released. Very poor sound and video quality. Very Boring.

    I agree.. boring and just way too contrived. Not that there weren't some suspenseful moments, taken on their own.. but in the larger context of a story.. weak. Gilligan's Island did a better job of explaining why the Howell's had all that cash, and why Ginger had 3 months worth of clothes - and both were more believable than the premise of Panic Room.
