[Pinewoodpotter]

In all seriousness, this does seem incredibly fast. What source did this come from?

Not really? I've seen films come out on BD maybe 3 months after their release...

Second best movie of the year behind Deathly Hallows Part 2. Stunning picture.

Really enjoyed this in the cinema but I dunno how much I want to own it. Doesn't scream "replay value" at me. Definitely worth watching, though.

[Faint]

Absolutely loved this film. Unique score and nice edits (yeah one of the few that loved the editing technique).

Cannot wait to own it and watch it again. The ending put the biggest smile on my face.

no it really doesn't. I don't get the praise of the film. great cast, yeah, yeah, yeah. whatever... why Warner's even gave this the IMAX release is simply beyond me.

Yeah, I got roped in to this IMAX snoozefest for $17 a pop. Mildly entertaining electronic score & decent dialogue from a stellar cast, but just a rather boring movie. Never really instilled any fear in me.

Source? Not to be belligerent, but you yourself stated Mid-December, and 13 is closer to 15-16, since that's the mid month mark. Also, my workplace had Harry Potter's date about a week before it was officially announced, and they have many dates through the 20th that look accurate.

Still, only time will tell, huh?

What?

Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Cowboys & Aliens, Fright Night, Contagion all on same day?

Also, does your workplace have date for Warrior with Tom Hardy?

By looking at the trailer, this movie looked horrendous. A cash cow bringign together a good cast to feed on people's paranoia about health issues; "Enter anything you can think of GIVES YOU CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES."

Look at Matt Damon's acting from 0:55-1:07. ROFLMFAO. Worst lines ever. Like, Damon going to go all Bourne to get more information why his wife died.

I'll check it out when it gets into my store, as I really want to see why this is getting rave reviews besides the fact of the ensemble cast, but again, many films, by looking at trailer or seeing it itself, IMHO are much worse than they would be rated; Bridesmaids a 90%? LOLNO. I gave it a 3/5 in my user review, but I wish I could edit it to like a 2 or 2.5.

[Chaotic]

The Matt Damon scene with the doctor is much longer and better in the actual movie. Trailers always make scenes shorter obviously

[Pondosinatra]

Does Kate Winslet do full frontal in this? I know, silly question. She does full frontal in all her movies. But seriously....do we get to see the goods?

I know how you feel, because when I first saw the trailer I laughed out loud in the movie theater. It's definitely not as bad as the trailer would have you believe, but it was completely pointless. With the exception of Damon, the rest of the cast gives a great performance.

I thought this movie was okay immediately after watching it. Upon further reflection, I now think it is an absolutely terrible movie. Lots of DIVERGING subplots without meaning and that go nowhere. No coherent or cohesive structure or flow, and it's ultimately pointless.

Hey everybody!! Look at this terrible thing that could happen!! No wait...we're going to go off on a lot of rather pointless tangents instead.

Uh...ok, thanks.

I think I'll pass.
