Oh yeah, seen that one. Pretty funny actually.

We rented this through Netflix, and finally had time to sit down and watch it last night. I was not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It seemed very unusual to never see Urban's face throughout the movie, but in hindsight I actually like the choice, as it seems truer to the character as he is portrayed, which is to say no compromise. I think the choice not to humanize Dredd beyond what was shown makes sense in the context of the movie and his character. Another thing that I enjoyed was the restrained use of fx; there was obviously quite of bit of cgi, but it seemed to be used more in service of the setting (some of the external city shots were amazing), versus being used to substitute for action involving the actors. The stunt/action work seemed almost to be a throwback (in a good way), and I enjoyed this very much, having grown seriously fatigued of cgi-fest action pieces that have all the believability of another video game.

I give Urban a lot of credit for going along with the choice to keep his face covered, it certainly flies in the face (no pun intended) of typical actor vanity, and for me added to the credibility of the movie as a whole. It's nice to see creative choices that don't represent the typical route taken in Hollywood.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was really well made and stylish. Good cast. Audio was superb especially the BASS.

I watched it last night and thought it was one of the best depiction of a dystopian future I've seen and one that might well happen. Like many I assumed it was a remake but it owes more to the original comic series. There are great special effects and they developed a camera that could do 3000 fps to get them. I think I may add the BD to my collection.

Finally got around to this and was very enjoyable. I thought KU did a great job not over acting. He was still pretty tank like in this character and I could see an Arnold S. pulling off this role but I did like the balance that KU brought to the character of unstoppable killing machine and a man. This was a little gorier than your typical cop-out hollywood effort and a little grittier - much appreciated.

Too bad it tanked so hard at the BO as this was sooo much better than most drivel that comes out but not rewarded and probably won't inspire more movies like this. I will definately add this to my bluray collection when the price is right.

Again, that's not what's wrong with this film. We know about Dredd's disdain for crime and criminials; that building was just crawling with murdering thugs, users and abusers. "Rambo-Dredd" would've just nuked the whole place from top to bottom saving a lot of time in the process. Then again, maybe we wouldn't have a movie if Urban did so.

Rent first.

I agree. Although I don't regret not seeing Dredd in the theater, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the BD. As you say, Dredd is gory but it's also a lot of fun and was helped along by a talented cast.

Sorry. I'm just too old for this.

The plot was rather weak but I do like KU keeping his helmet on for the entire movie.

Are you SURE it was KU?
I heard a rumor it was really Sly....

and the Family Stone?

Family St(all)one; on the Dredd soundtrack. Awesome, they are.

Agreed. Very enjoyable, especially when I was expecting soooooo much less. Soundtrack was top notch and the bass during one of the interrogation scenes was friggin awesome. Deep and sustained for a long period of time. My wife gave me a look like "is the room going to be okay".......It matters not, sweetie.......It matters not.

Yup all this.

Dredd was pretty badass. Loved the action, the gore, the efx, the soundtrack and the "SLO-MO". Need more movies like it.
