Has anyone here seen this movie? I'd never even heard of before last week but it seems to be really popular with the sci-fi crowd and the thread about it over at AVS seems to be getting alot of traffic.

HD Digest gave it a great review as far as PQ, AQ, and the movie itself.

Also BB has it on sale for $19, So would this one be worth picking up?

    Have seen it a couple of times. I'd say it's a good one to own.

    10 on my list. The soundtrack is great too.
    I use the soundtrack and movie to test/demo audio/video systems.

    Fantastic film and the Blu-ray is the DC which is really much better then the theatrical version. Get it!
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    This was a good flick.

    I give the SD DVD an 8/10.

    I don't know if the BD has the same commentary but Roger Ebert does it on the SD version. He did a great job on it..worth owning!

    Wow I just saw my SD DVD of this film yesterday. It is awesome, although I think when I first saw it the first time, it seemed to have a different ending, a more tragic one...maybe mixing that up with another film...but still good to own. Did they release it as HD DVD? Wish I ordered that one.

    No HD-DVD, only Blu-ray.
