I never caught the flick since I heard both good and bad things about it. This sounds like a very nice release, so I'll be anxiously waiting to hear what people say about the DC.

Just got this dvd today, wow.... surprisingly good movie. This was my first experience with Infinifilm, does anyone else find it tedious, and kind of annoying. I mean its kind of cool, but I guess I prefer standard boring extras: commentary, and other extras via menus.

i like all of the stuff on the dvd but i don't really like the way they set up the menus.

I loved the movie, it was my first time seeing it when I bought the DVD. I hate how it's a double sided disc though..... ah well. I could also care less about the Infinifilm, but the sound in the movie is great and the picture quality is great and it's a damn good movie at that.

I think infinifilm is annoying too, and so far it seems like all of the little things to click on are just short clips from the other extras on the disc. There's really nothing extra you get from watching the infifilm, so why even bother with it?
Also, the fact track on this disc was completely worthless.

I rented it from Netflix last night. I couldn't watch the theatrical cut because of the Netflix label that's on one side of the disk. I was forced to watch the director's cut. Anyway I was surprised how much I liked it. It was a depressing movie.

Yeah, I figured he'd gotten it from Netflix as well. Just playing around. Kinda silly that Netflix puts a label on a two-sided disc, especially for those who never saw this in theatres. I may be one of the only people who prefers the original ending, and I watched the director's cut first, then flipped it to check out the theatrical ending. For me, sometimes the director's cut style of ending works. Sometimes it doesn't. It didn't, IMO.
Call me crazy.

The one I got from Netflix today is single sided. It's got both endings on there. Infinifilm is definitely weird though. I wouldn't have even realized the
ending wasn't the theatrical one.

I didn't realize that the baby ending was not the theatrical one. It makes sense to me now how people who only saw the theatrical version didn't think the movie is very good. The director and writer basically slammed the theatrical ending in their commentary and I can't agree with them more. The other alternate ending is even worse.

I ended up picking the disk up anyway yesterday. I watched to theatrical cut of the flim and I have to agree that I like the director's cut ending much more.

Thank you for answers and sorry for my english.
