I caught it on TV (HD). Wasn’t expecting much and was stunned by some of the visuals. Really quite remarkable CGI — plus an engaging plot.

It must have been something on the big screen or IMAX!

I thoroughly enjoyed "Life of Pi" as well. I'm really impressed at the leaps and bounds digital special effects have made these last few years, especially when viewed at home on a good blu-ray/HDTV home theater.

I don't see movies at the cinema much these days. I wait for them to hit Redbox and then I rent the blu-ray version. I have a decent set-up at home. I usually rent pretty much most of the big releases. Heck, last night my wife and I sat through "Elysium". Total left-wing pablum with a laughable script but, damn, the effects were pure eye-candy!

FWIW, "Man of Steel is the best film I've seen all year and I've never even been much of a Superman fan. Again, the digital effects were just phenomenal.

Notice that the actor Irfan Khan is also obsessed with “Richard Parker” in the Amazing Spider-man. What’s up with that?

Megashare appeas to be an illegal warez site, or at least is legally questionable.

Can you confirm these free movies are legit?

Never saw the movie but loved the book.

Besides the fact that it didn’t make any sense.

So did he murder everyone and eat them? Or was there really a tiger, and an island made of human bones and teeth? I don’t really get it. I know it’s about faith, but which story would you believe? The more plausible one.

CGI looked dream like (as it should given the philosophical tone of the story), almost a perfect blend of film reality and animation. In other words, not phony, but unique.

I read the book a while back, it didn’t strike me as material for a movie.

Lots of folks had good things to say about it though.. mayhap I’ll check it out.

I watched it on one of the premium channels.

Dull, way too long, boring.

I have noticed many movies are now over 2 hours. I guess they have to fill up the time to justify the ticket prices. However, filler stuff is still boring. Many of those movies could cut out 30 minutes without impacting the actual movie.

I recall watching Clooney’s The American on Netflix DVD. It was an hour or more of watching a vehicle travel across the desert and then watch the returned trip across the desert. The only parts more boring were the parts with Clooney in bed.

My husband and I both loved it. And we are very hard to please where today’s movies are concerned.
