I expected to like this movie, and was afraid I would be disappointed. I wasn't. It isn't epic, but it is a great piece of entertainment. Well acted, and a good balance of intensity and humor. It will be one my family will re-watch often. If you liked the video game, you'll enjoy the movie (I had lost my copy of the game and went and bought a new copy of it the day after seeing this movie, so that should tell you how much we enjoyed it). The surround sound is good quality - present, but not overdone. (It's not comparable to some of the top surround movies like Master & Commander.) Picture quality is also very good. Digital copy is easy to redeem, and excellent quality. I haven't yet watched the DVD copy. I haven't looked at any of the DVD extras, so I can't comment on them.
What's great about it: includes digital copy, dvd, blu ray

We went with this speaker to anchor our surround-sound setup, and it does exactly what we want it to: carries the bulk of the sound, delivers crisp/clear audio. Our previous speakers were losing the audio in the surround sound and films could not be understood (such as Sherlock Holmes). This fixed that problem perfectly. It is far superior to my other speakers currently, but having listened to many and shopped around, this is an excellent quality speaker. At regular price, it's a good deal but nothing amazing. If you can get it on sale (like I did), then it's a great speaker for the value. It is also extremely flexible - it is designed to be used either vertically (for surrounds) or horizontally (center channel) and can be hung or set on a surface.
What's great about it: versatile, clear/crisp mids

Great Show... Bad Blu-Ray
ByAvallonfromNJ
The video skips... the audio is just fine. This happened on two copies of this blu-ray. Tested the player with shutter island afterward and it ran just fine.
Returning it tomorrow, much to my chagrin.

Blu Ray or Blu Ray Player?
September 17, 2010
I suspect the problem may actually be your Blu-Ray Player.... some have issues with different movies. I have one of the original players, and it is starting to have some issues where audio skips out, or even trouble reading brand new discs. Newer players shouldn't have that problem, but I have seen reports of some mid- to low-level players struggling with certain discs. It's worth looking into. Generally if a Blu Ray disc is going to be released, it will be problem free. It's tougher to develop a player that will seamlessly play any content thrown at it.
