Picked it up at Best Buy along with ID4 and Independence Day, and just finished watching it.
Now, I am not an anime fan at all whatsoever. The only thing I can ever remember getting into is Robotech for a few months as a kid; and I did happen to like the Final Fantasy Blu-ray. Now, I became excited for this title solely by looking at the cover picture! Reading the synopsis and then the review on this website made me even more anxious to pick up this title this morning, so I called in sick and declared it a Blu day.
The picture, of course, is fantastic, free of grain, defects, artifacts; as we would expect of a CGI movie. Action scenes, top-notch. The main plot theme was intertwined excellently with the love story. I can't possibly imagine a similar plot themed movie. It is by no means an idiotic action movie like Crank, etc. Sound is still DD5.1, but it still delivers...
Give it a rent, at the very least, because this movie, to me at least, has plenty of replay value and well worth the purchase price.
