The Mist - £7.35 at zavvi today!

zavvi.com - The Mist Blu-ray

This is an excellent film! I've only seen the dvd (black and white version) so I'm not sure how the blu-ray looks, but I'm sure it'll be a step up from the dvd. Quidco will get you a bit more off the asking price too!

The Blu-Ray version looks fantastic, it contains both the B&W and colour versions of the film. Great film too. Shame I've already got it, otherwise I'd be all over this like some kind of skin disease

Do you think it's really worth a double-dip from me?

I can't comment on the DVD version 'cause I've never seen it. But like 99.9% of BD's, they are quite an upgrade over their DVD counterparts. So my advice would be, go for it.

Have a look at a few screenshots/reviews and judge for yourself.

Whatever it is, The Mist is a winner in terms of cinematic satisfaction and on Blu-ray, it looks and sounds much better than on SD.

Re: The Mist - £7.35 at zavvi today!

Excellent film, I highly reccomend it.

Just know that the ending will stick with you for a long time after you finish watching the film!

Re: The Mist - £7.35 at zavvi today!

Just got an email - I hope all is OK as I've never ordered from zavii b4:

"Thanks for placing your order with us at zavvi, order number xxxxxxxx.

We're sorry that your order for the product(s) below has not yet been sent.

* The Mist


We're still following this up with our suppliers and we'll keep you updated on the status of your order."

Re: The Mist - £7.35 at zavvi today!

I was quite disappointed with the mist, the religious nut was irritating and so unoriginal having seen that in many other movies and the ending didn't work for me either.

Not sure why he killed the others in the car as its obvious that they had some success with just a normal six barrel handgun at killing the smaller creatures so its obvious the present US army with all its military strength could defeat an enemy that didnt use weapons and wasnt as intelligent as us, they were just like another dimensions dinosaurs which the current US army could defeat easily too if they existed.

If it was aliens with intelligence like us or better and superior weapons that that would of been another stroy.

ridiculous to give away major parts of the film in a thread about buying it!

The film is a 9/10. Very thought provoking and at first you think it's slapstick and silly but it's not, it's actually very moving.

Manic....What you have posted is a SPOILER. Please edit your post so those that haven't seen the film can enjoy it without knowing crucial plot details. Thanks.

Cool Re: The Mist - £7.35 at zavvi today!

Why post spoilers in thread not about the film but buying it, it would not have even been allowed in the Movies section without spoiler tags.

Gregs being kind to you I banned one for doing something similar.
