Not that this helps...but I have never seen this on sale...not even Amazon....might just want to bite the bullet.

Seriously, I've been waiting forever for a deal.. Nobody has it less than $25

Amazing experience on blu-ray. I'm hoping The Cell turns out to be a great transfer as well.

Does the quality of the movie itself live up to the strong visuals? I thought the Cell was pretty weak, but this seems to get higher marks on IMDB, so I'm tempted to blind buy the BD. Any detailed opinions would be welcome.

yes...the quality is there....great acting all around, and the storyline is fresh, also.

Its a weird movie. Its 2 hours long and requires a certain mood. Its an interesting idea. Some interesting choices of actors/actresses here too. Overall I just think its a bizarre movie that works out just fine. It had the same effect to me as Pans Labyrinth did. Although the movies are not alike.

Seems us Brits are getting the best deals right now. I think I paid £13, which is about $18 tops at the moment.

No way...The Cell was excellent and under-rated. The Fall made me want to kill everyone around me. I hated it. That little girl needs to be choked to death...and that stuntman guy.... UGGGH!

Um...Jennifer Lopes makes me want to drink bleach. But I admit, in spite of Lopez, I do like The Cell, it surprised me. The Fall is tacky and overdone, but if you mute the audio and play your favorite music over the picture, it works quite nicely (ie, Mr. Scruff, Deep Forest)!

This is one of the five free blu rays I chose with the Sony card deal. I'm looking forward to it. I figured for free, it's definitely worth a shot. From what most of you are saying, it's at least eye candy.

I'd say it starts off rather slow.. but if you are in the right mood and patient it is a very rewarding experience. It's not something you can sit around with your guy friends as a guys movie.

There were maybe one or two scenes that seemed a bit much admit, but for the most part I loved it. Just rent it first.

I loved The Cell as well but I know it wasn't super popular.

The Fall Is Great Get The Blu!!!

We saw it in the theater (the one week it was playing) and fell in love with it. Then we got the DVD and showed it to several friends. Then we jumped to Blu-ray, got a player, got this movie on BD... and it's still sitting at home, still shrink-wrapped. I can't believe we haven't watched it in hi-def yet.

I would argue that it certainly does. The Cell was pretty much confined within a single genre, The Fall is far more flexible with its narrative.
