It is well worth it!!!!IMO :cool:Woohoo! Now I gotta convince my wallet that I need some 6.1 goodness -
Ron, I noticed you said you like the 'Reign of Fire' type deal... you will probably really dig this movie. I'm in to that too, and I thought this movie was simply astounding. Effects, sound, story flow, sticking to the book, new technology, pretty much everything I was impressed with. I haven't looked forward to a DVD like this one ever. I agree with John, this should be the next best demo disc.
BTW: I saw a Reign of Fire spot on TV last week, and it looked damn cool! My jaw dropped. I wonder when they'll start promo'ing it more.
