Interesting review of the movie, as I came to the opposite conclusion - I was enthralled, but the kids sat behind me kept asking their parents when it was going to finish...
I was thinking more the other way round, actually...
To be honest, the "Movie" part of the review I treat as most other reviews - very subjective. The real meat for me, which is difficult to get elsewhere, is the technical analysis of the picture and sound.
I was dragged to see this when it was released in cinemas and I must confess I rather enjoyed it. I guess I'm just a kid at heart! Good to hear the disc gets a thumbs up even though the movie its self failed to impress Phil. It appears from what information I can find that the region 1 doesn't carry a dts audio track, therefore I'll be going for the region 2.
