DVD beaver has a review if you trust them.

tigtat77 · 09-16-2009, 08:20 PM

I really liked this movie alot. More so than Armageddon, but I'm weary of buying without some feedback first.

Buddy Christ · 09-16-2009, 08:34 PM

I'll go pick it up now, and give my 2 cents tonight. Target has it for 22.99 and I'll have BB price match it.

OhDamaso · 09-16-2009, 09:46 PM

Picked it up at Wal-Mart for $19.99, and plan to watch it tonight.

DrrnHarr · 09-17-2009, 12:09 AM

jc480 · 09-17-2009, 12:13 AM

LuckyKnight · 09-17-2009, 01:32 PM

Watch the rest tonight. Looked decent..

Here's a review:

Emmerich's Godzilla with space rocks instead of lizards. Plenty of apocalytpic carnage type things to be outrun on foot. Look, there's a young Jon Favreau.

If you're into this kind of thing, it looks and sounds great on BD.

Buddy Christ · 09-17-2009, 04:31 PM

Well just watched it

and if you are a fan of the movie, the Blu-ray will not disappoint!

IMO PQ 4.0 AQ 4.0

Solid performance

Do you think BB will price match? I have never had any luck with them.

They did without checking. Once again they took my word for it.

OhDamaso · 09-19-2009, 12:30 AM

I just viewed this tonight, and I have to say the movie itself holds up extremely well. Great flick.

The PQ was good, but not great. Maybe a 3.75/5 there.

The AQ seemed to be the biggest gap between dialogue and other sounds on any blu-ray I can remember viewing recently, but when it cranks it up, it's very powerful and crisp. 4.25/5 there.

bogo5 · 09-19-2009, 01:00 PM

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive.

Anyone posted some screens in the screenshot thread?

davcole · 09-20-2009, 07:13 AM

I remember watching this theatrically and not being all that impressed with it as a film. I felt there were too many stories going on: Tea's character and parents, Leo and his family and girlfriend, astronaut's story and a whole list of minor characters. At times it felt a bit overwhelming to have an emotional investment into all these parallel stories.

Thank goodness for time and maturity.

I watched it for the first time in a long time and while I still didn't get with the teenage love story, I did connect to Tea's story and the parents dynamic and I also felt more connected to the astronauts and their story of sacrifice. No, I still prefer ARMAGEDDON and that was a much more fun thrill ride, but i'm better able to emotional connect now than then.

I was stunned with the picture quality. Sharpness, detail and color accuracy. Are we sure this was from the late 90's? I didn't expect it to look this good! Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look like a modern day film would so far as clarity but this is an excellent looking catalog title. I have to say that Paramount/Dreamworks did a stellar job with the video.

Audio-wise it's almost the same. It doesn't have the deepest extension, but it has a good amount of it and so far as the surround presence of the film, it's very good. I enjoyed the mix more than I expected to. The only fault I could say is that the inner detail isn't on the level of today's mixes but still and all i'm very impressed!

talstarone · 09-20-2009, 11:09 AM

Thanks for the reviews and feedback,everyone.Looks as if this will be a safe bet to pick up on Blu-Ray.
I think it would be worth a spot in a small but growing collection.

Was in Walmart this morning and decided to pick it up for $19.96. I remember seeing this theatrically. Can't believe that was 11 years ago! This definitely has much more brains than Armageddon, but that's not a huge compliment to begin with. Unlike that film, this one at least attempted to make the audience feel that the planet being destroyed was a bad thing. Seemed like in Armageddon, impending doom was somehow going to be a fun, thrilling ride.
