Sky Captain & The World of tomorrow - HD-DVD

[Soundwave]

Simple question really guys...is it worth buying from a technical standpoint??

Bearing in mind I've never ever seen the film & I'm not expecting great things from the story but seeing as it's a big CGI/effects fest is it worth picking up in High def for a watch??

I can get it for sub £8 now so is worth the splurge or is the film so bad that no matter how pretty it looks it's still a huge waste of money???

Thanls in advance

I think it's mostly black and white, and, even in high definition, I think it's been said that it isn't that sharp/detailed. I think they purposely made it all quite soft focus, so a high definition disc won't give you that much more detail, as well as HD-DVDs not being made/supported any more.

Go for it! at 8 quid it's a nice treat to yourself and it deos look good on high def even though the the image is soft (as intended) it still looks better than the DVD.

Thanks for the input guys.

200p,

I know HD-DVD is dead which is a shame but as I have the HD-DVD add on for my 360 & movies are so cheap it seems rude not to buy them

Just popped my order in for a new copy £7.99 delivered

Thanks again for the help.

if you want 3-5 day Express shipping it's an extra £1.95 but I'm a cheap skate so went for 8-18 days for £7.99 instead
