Quite simply put, yes. I remember debating whether or not to give it a watch, and it blew my expectations. You'd think with the time period involved it'd be kind of "slow", but it's a great film!

Thanks JW.

And Thank you Alpha.. I will be picking this up ^.^

Here's an idea. Rent it first. If you like it, buy it. If you don't, then it is obvious what you're going to have to do. Don't buy it.

I liked it alot. Bestbuy.com has it for $14.99.

I thought this movie was astoundingly good. Gut-wrenching, potent, and a must-own.

Atonement Blu-ray Review

I think it was a very well made film. For me it's worth the price of $15 however I agree with the official review here, if you haven't seen this movie yet don't blind buy. Rent it first and see if this is your kind of movie.

masoud90 · 02-16-2010, 05:52 PM

It is incredible. One of my favorite movies of the 2000's.

mpstjohn · 02-16-2010, 05:55 PM

I'd say rent it first.

Personally I didn't care for the way the ending was handled. Of the people I know that have seen this they fall into two categories. Love it or hate it.

JGremlin · 02-16-2010, 05:56 PM

Beautiful movie, beautiful blu-ray. Can't imagine anyone actually hating this movie. Disliking it, sure, but hate? Come on.

If you want this price, you have to do in-store pickup or pm the website. It still rings up $24.99 in store.

sfmarine · 02-16-2010, 11:04 PM

It wasn't bad...I still need to pick it up.

I was surprised to know that all 6 nearby Best Buy stores are all out of stock. I hope Amazon PMs this one.

Amazon did PM but I wonder if they still ship with the slipcover. It's still a relatively new release..

ewsjr · 02-16-2010, 11:32 PM

I loved this movie and in my opinion it is one of THE best looking blu-rays to come out. It really is worth watching and it will totally surprise you. viewed on Panasonic 65PZ850U plasma.

I almost picked this up over the weekend, decided on Pride & Prejudice instead. It's a really good movie, but starts to unravel a bit with around 30 minutes to go. If you like this type of movie I say it's worth a blind buy at $15.

It also has Keira Knightley in it, which IMO is easily worth $15.

This is true. Just getting ready to head down to the theater and watch Pride. Even though they tweaked the ending, it's a very heart-warming movie. The ending always puts a smile on my face. This is a great flick to score points with your significant other by suggesting to watch it.
