The Congress (Robin Wright) - December 2nd, 2014 - Blu-ray Forum

It's excellent. Conceptually stunning, the animation segments are gorgeous and the performances are great. This has been an amazing year for sci-fi between Under the Skin, Snowpiercer and this.

The Stanislaw Lem novel it's based on is really great. I hear the film is very different, but the trailer looks quite impressive. Can't wait to see it.

For those of you with Region B or region free players, the French release is out already since April: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Le-Co.../82949/#Review

I thought the first 1/3rd was very(!) good. Once it crossed over into animation it became a total mess. Hated it after that point.

I've heard this movie is difficult to watch. I think I'll wait for Netflix, which will probably be quick.

Best Buy has this pre-order for $14.99, though. Which isn't bad.

... for those who are interested, along with the 16 page booklet this release also has a reversible cover insert. I can't find any direct scans of the alternative cover on the net, but it uses this artwork:

[Show spoiler]

... except the only text present is "Robin Wright at The Congress", and the top part of the picture is shortened accordingly.

I always like it when Blu-rays have reversible covers with alternative artwork!

Dang, I like that cover a lot more. Might try to pick this up the next time I visit a Drafthouse

it's super cheap ($11.99) on Amazon right now, it'll be full price at a Drafthouse location. FYI
