Personally, I don't think this film works well in the cinema, which is probably why it bombed at the US box office. It's hard to pay absolute attention for the full duration and the first time I watched DD, I found myself searching back and forth through the movie a good few times to confirm and deny any theories I was forming at the time. Because I'd done this, by the time the movie ended, I found myself wanting to watch it again immediately. If I'd seen it in the cinema, I may have left feeling rather disgruntled and frustrated instead.
I don't know how the R2 compares to the R1 in terms of features, but I know that every single feature on the R1 is a must-have for me so if there are any missing from the R2, that will be a big no-no purchase. The R1 is a very good transfer too and can probably be had cheaper than the R2. Of course, if the R2 turns out to have a little extra than the R1, I shall be buying it

And if they release a 2-disk version in the future, I'll be buying that too

Hard to see what else they could add in terms of features though - the disk is already jam packed. So much so that there are 2 layer changes on the R1 DVD (a rare occurence indeed) - but don't worry, the designers picked 2 very good places for them
