Great to hear! This is one of the titles I ordered from Amazon on the 27th. I missed it in the theater, so I'm really looking forward to getting it. Since I already purchased it, I didn't want to read a review so as not to accidently see any spoilers, but nice to hear that the PQ is top notch

jbuttler007 · 06-02-2007, 12:05 AM

I just ordered this. Can't wait to watch it.

GreenMotion · 06-02-2007, 12:58 AM

I was going to order it, but noticed it got 12% on rottentomatoes.com (thus 88% rotten). Considering the Amazon price on this pre-order is 27 bucks, I think I am going to pass for now.

I'm not fond of spoilers either, including many full length trailers. But, if it helps, I try not to include spoilers in my reviews of new films in particular - including the screenshots. But that can be hard to do with the horror genre some others where the less you know the better off you are. Sometimes even knowing the genre is too much information.

This movie is about Fed-Ex sending the FBI to an address somewhere in the Mid West because 1 out of 3 of their delivery guys goes missing, and later on their bodies turn up in cat and dog food.

The big disappointment is that product placement for Fed-Ex is everywhere.

The Messengers was a lame movie IMO.

I'm gonna watch it right now, got my copy earlier today. Will let you know what I think.

*UPDATE*: Just finished watching this movie. I thought that the picture quality deserved a 4.5/5.0. Not the worst nor best movie that i've seen. Didn't really find it scary, but there are a few parts that may make you jump a bit.

Kristen Stewart has come a long way since the mistaken-for-a-boy-in-Panic-Room days

you can get it from buy.com for $10 using google checkout. thats what I did. I missed this movie in theaters as well and since I dont care what critics say, I will decide for myself if this is a good movie.

This was filmed close to me in Indian Head and Regina, Saskatchewan!! Too bad the movie is so-so, but I haven't seen it yet. I heard they were selling the house(set) for anyone to buy --kinda cool!

Damn THAT! That's like someone wanting to buy a reconstructed version of the Amityville house!

That's just crazy! LOL

Just finished watching it. The PQ was very good except for the beginning when the credits began when you were outside the house. Some noticeable banding. The story was OK. Definite rental.

When using my PS3 i went to fast rewind and a neat little "time left till movie ends" gauge came up at the bottom of the screen. I thought that was a clever thing to have without having to press the display button.

I just watched The Messengers last night and noticed it had a startup loading screen. When I went to fast forward or rewind the movie, an animated movie-themed bar would show up on the bottom of the screen showing the time elapsed, position of playback and indicated the scan speeds on the respective sides of it. I don't remember seeing this on any other discs. Pretty cool. However I noticed that there is no resume-play on this disc now.

jermwhl · 06-05-2007, 04:20 PM

Gonna pick up my copy today.

cantCme · 06-05-2007, 04:25 PM

is this movie any good is it worth purchasing? i haven't seen it

goodstuff · 06-05-2007, 04:35 PM

The movie's alright if you like The Grudge-type pasty white dead people stuff. Kristen Stewart and Dylan McDermott are good. The disc presentation itself is much better with an awesome transfer and great PCM use of the surrounds. I swear when there's a wide daytime shot of the farm from a distance it looks like a postcard, it's so detailed.

I just bought this movie too, can't wait to see it.
