Buy this disc!
ANTITRUST was an overlooked little gem during its
theatrical run. Th cast, story and direction are
exceptional. The storyline is a rude awakening
for those less computer savy, in a world run on
binary code.
The transfer is a stellar effort on MGM'S
behalf. When played back on 16:9 set,
the image is nothing short of breathtaking.
The DD soundtrack is also a nice treat and will
utilize your system's dynamics wonderfully.
Too bad the film was so poorly received theatrically.
DVD consumers can now experience an engaging film
that actually dares to be intelligent as well.
This disc is a must!

I heard mixed reviews of this one, but I bought it anyway tonight and just finished watching it. I thought the movie was really good.. no not oscar-winning good but definately a movie worth seeing. The video quality and sound quality were both excelent too. I didn't check out the extras yet but I prolly will sooner or later. I thought the menus were kinda cool too
If you're a geek (like me) you'll prolly think it's nice that finally a movie got the whole internet/programming kinda stuff mostly right for a change, and for me that really helped make the whole thing that much more believable

Obviously, I’m in the minority opinion here, but I thought this movie stunk. Other than Tim Robbins, who turned in a credible performance as CEO of the fictional N.U.R.V. Corporation, I found little enjoyment in this poorly scripted and acted effort. Not for a single nanosecond did I buy into RP as a code-head. Equally troublesome were the gapping plot holes.
I’m willing to suspend my disbelief, but this movie just didn’t ring true to me on any level.

I haven't watched this movie (it looked lame when I saw the previews for it), but I went to Fry's today in Palo Alto, CA and noticed that it's on sale for $13.88. Just FYI.

Just released yesterday and already on sale for $13.88? That puts it into the realm of Battlefield Earth and Red Planet. Yikes!

Well frys has alot of movies at a pretty decent price, Finding Forrester was 13.88 and was much better then Battlefield Earth, So i dont think the price frys has on a movie always plays a role on its movie review,
but i woundn't buy antitrust, justa movie rental for me.

I rented it last week and was pleasantly surprised. While it was nothing spectacular it was better than I thought it would be. (I thought the trailer looked terrible). Also, the SE treatment of the DVD was a nice touch and I am still surprised that the studio granted it the treatment. I am glad though.
