Worst movie in my collection. I couldn't even finish watching it. I'm glad I only paid $8.00 for it, but it is not even worth that.

It's one those movies that you either hate it or love it, I'm in the latter category. And like dabouck5 said, it looks very very good.

looks awesome, but very weird, i think i got it all without having to watch it a few times more, but for me it s far less interresting than i thought it would with trailers , i can only suggest you rent it first..

Excellent movie, not your standard hollywood fare - I thoroughly enjoyed it and it looks amazing on blu. I might watch it again tonight if transformers doesn't turn up in the post.

Personally, I thought this movie was brilliant. Great story about the drug subculture and subtle, intentional destruction of another human being to achieve a "greater good". I'd recommend it.

I would recommend this movie, with the caveat that it is not for everyone. I had very high expectations going into the film given the players involved (including radiohead on the soudtrack), and although I didn't love it instantly, I know I will in time. I don't normally need repeated viewings to truly understand the heart of a movie - and I believe I got this one first off - however, even my ego is suggesting that I will get more out of couple of viewings. I just can't find the time - so many blus, so little time...

People actually hated this film? Its a brilliant masterpiece adapated from one of the most brilliant sci-fi writers our world has ever seen....the rotoscoping animation is tripped out as well.

This proudly takes its place amongst my Blu Ray collection.

I liked it. Odd ending though but animation over live action and because it's mainly about drug use, there are constant subtle changes in characters & environments to give you that uneasy feeling. Images shift every once in a while... fluctuations in perceptions so I founf it really different and entertaining. One of my sisters is an animation fan like myself and I bought it for her. It freaked her out a bit but she digs it. IF you're interested in animation styles, it's worth it. Bit of a slight futuristic view, although skewed in favour of the weird. I liked it!

I like it, it definitely isn't for everybody though. The disc itself has great PQ but Warner did screw us on the audio.

I thought it was ok.

The animation was slightly annoying to me in places.
