Startup.Com.. worth purchase.. Yes/No?
I saw this title @ Wal-Mart & was wondering the general consensus from those who have seen it.
Priced @ $14.96

Thank you,

...ahh... I take it you are aware that this is not a 'movie' movie but a feature-length documentary...?!
Here's a - rather glowing - British review:

I'm a sucker for a good documentary. I'm definitely getting it. Here's a review of the DVD itself: http://www.currentfilm.com/dvdreview...tupcomdvd.html

Well, after late fees and the $3.99 rental at Blockbuster, I can justify paying a few extra dollars more for being able to watch it whenever I want in the forseeable future. You'll be able to grab this for little over $10 if you get it through Orderbox.

I would probably price this movie (for myself) up to $19.99. I saw it in theatres a few months ago so I can't speak about the DVD itself, just the film. Be aware it is a documentary and a good (even anamorphic) transfer is useless as the image quality doesn't rival, say, 'Gladiator'... However, it's a fun film, one that has a lot of unanswered questions at the end (good to see that in a documentary once in a while). If you're into documentaries, the dot com fallout, or business, I would pick it up.

I saw the film in theaters, thought it was great and would NOT buy the DVD!
Sorry, but there are very few documentaries which have repeat playability for me...Thin Blue Line, Life & Times of Harvey Milk, Atomic Cafe, maybe Paradise Lost. But this film, while interesting and extremely timely, faded from memory pretty soon after the first look.
