I LOVED this movie. For those who didn't get to check it out, you should definitely pick this one up.

one HD-DVD copy and a milkshake to go.... :D


:banana:

July is going to be one busy month for me, what with The Host, Robocop CE, Serenity 2-disc, and 300 ...

I'll be picking up the HD-DVD release

anyone else think the theatrical poster art looks better than the 2-disc art?

It won't be as busy as you think. "Serenity" comes out toward the end of August, not July.

I loved "The Host" too, and have the Korean DVD. I'd like the English extras on the U.S. version, but I'm sticking with the excellent DTS track on the Korean. I'll probably just Netflix the extras disc.

2 -disc CE or BD for me, depending on the extras on the BD.

Loved this movie.

Another fan of The Host. I'll get the 2-discer but the cover is odd because they took 2 totally different scenes and combined 'em.

2-disc art loses the claustrophic atomsphere of the original (to its detriment, IMO):

In the context of the movie, that photoshopped image is kinda silly.



I think the best promotional image for the film is this poster (similar to the US poster, but much more natural and dynamic):

Don't think I'll pick this up, but the disc looks worthwhile. The flick had a good mix of terror, humor, and drama; but I'm not sure I'd watch it much.
