Has anyone picked this one up yet?

I havent seen any buzz about it and I wanted to know how the picture quality is.

its no reference disc, but its not THAT bad

sometimes you expect it to go 3d and it doesnt, but its much better looking than the dvd side, which is real ugly

I gave it a low Tier 2 in the Tier review. Well below something like a V for Vendetta.

I bought this today and will add my 2 cents later. I have a hard time believing that this disc doesn't look very good, but heh...

Just finished watching it. Picture quality wasn't anything great, but nothing bad either. I did like the music soundtrack though.

And could someone please explain this movie. At the end I sat there thinking WTF. Kinda reminded me of an acid trip on Sunday, but only quicker.

Yeah, I was following it up until he seperated from the bubble and got melted by the Supernova. Why did he seperate from the bubble?

Anyways, Tier 2 isn't bad picture quality. It's just clean with nothing extraordinary.

I picked it up this morning and I must say its not a movie for me. As far as PQ goes it was ok nothing major, and for the sound it seemed very soft to me. I found myself raising up the volume during conversations and where I thought it should sound very good the softness just through everything off.

For those of us who haven't seen it yet, I hope you're not giving anything important away.

It did not load on the 360 the first time. I got it to load, but it was hit and miss. Once it loaded, it played through without skips.

This was the first Warner combo I had problems with.

Chalk another one up for combos. Now they are releasing 300 in COmbo format.

Very good film with a pretty good transfer. Kind of requires multiple viewings to absorb it all.

Mine played flawlessly via XA-1 with 2.2 fw.

Its a very touching film that at its heart is about the never ending love and sacrifice of the two main characters.

Having seen the film in the theater the HD-DVD's transfer is right on the money.

It also played flawlessly in my XA1 with 2.2 firmware.

The soundtrack is awesome. The story is confusing, but if you stayed focus, you should be okay. Like someone have stated before, the soundtrack really helped this movie tremendously. It is definitedly worth picking it up for the story and the soundtrack along.

As for the PQ, many scenes are a bit too dark that details started to fade into the oblivion. Other than that, everything else look pretty good. Just don't expect any surprises.

The Extra materials are very good and fun to watch, I hightly recommended.

AND YES, I will watch this movie again, and again. Doesn't matter that I know the ending, it is simply a unique movie that will require many viewings to absorb the whole story completedly.

Wait a minute. This movie actually had a plot? Really glad it was only a rental, because I sure as heck didn't get it.

Too dark - it was very frustrating and took away from the enjoyment of the movie.
