This has some entertainment value. I would give it a 2.5 / 5. There were some funny moments and it wasn't a complete waste of time. It was however obviously low budget. Phoebe Fox and the UK actors were the highlight. One glaring deficiency; usually actors will endure months of fight training to make fight scenes look real. Tom Cruise insists on doing all his own stunts. Either Rockwell does no fighting, or the editing was extremely poor since his fights always featured extreme close-ups of the kick, or the punch, or the elbow often times leaving the actors face out of the shot entirely. This means stunt doubles did all the heavy lifting and it was obvious.

Recent upgrade to Blu from HD. This is hokey but it was from when Cage still made some watchable stuff. Always felt this would have been good material for a TV series. Guy with ESP can see what will happen for up to two minutes in the future and is exploited by a government agent trying to avoid a terrorist attack.
I think around 2009 or 2010 was the last year Cage made watchable movies.

Julianne Moore told Andy Cohen this was one of the stinkers in her careers and usually actors or actresses are not that honest when it comes to their failures.

Did a double feature of the last two Spider-Man movies; Homecoming and Into the Spider-verse.
Spider-verse was just as good and fun as it was in the theaters, Homecoming was somehow better than I remember it being, and I liked it initially, but I enjoyed it even more this 2nd time. Felt more fun. And one of the extras, the extended take of the school's student news show, was just fucking hilarious - so random and off the wall - it was like a segment from the Tim & Eric show.

Gave the old DVD to my FIL. This looked good in 4K but wouldn't have been my first choice in upgrades.
In spite of all the crazy plot holes. One of the more enjoyable super hero flicks. Still think Amber Heard looks like Adrienne Palicki in this movie.

Hey everybody !
During the format wars I thought the HD-DVD was going to win over Blu-ray because it just looked and sounded better to me, still does, and I preferred the red case over the blue case...just looked better to me. Blu-ray didn’t make any sense to me , since DVD was the previous format it just made sense that HD-“DVD” would be the logical next step as the new format. I still have no idea how blu-ray one. Was it porn? In the comedy movie ‘Tropic Thunder’ one of the characters said bluray won out because bluray was backed by the porn industry, lol. It makes sense though, the porn industry is massive and has its slimy tentacles all over the rest of entertainment industry.
Anyway I have two HD-DVDs ‘Dune’ and ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ ( Denzel Washington version ). THE LAST MOVIE I WATCHED WAS ON HD-DVD AND IT WAS ‘DUNE’, it looked and sounded amazing! I saw, and still see, no difference between HD-DVD and Bluray on my high-def TV ...well to be honest I think my HD-DVDs looked and sounded a little better then all the blurays I own.

Does HD DVD have its fans like laserdisc and Beta back in the day?
Maybe you could get something now by selling it before all dvd playing devices become obsolete.

There are still listings on eBay with most in the $2 - $4 range. No way to know how many actually sell. For $2 I don't think it's worth a trip to the PO.

If you have or use stamps.com you can print the shipping labels at home but for $2 it is not worth it

Not a bad entry into the sub genre, not great either. Pet Peeve: the rifles that make no noise when you put the suppressor on them. They can still be close to 100 db with a suppressor attached. Nice to see Ryan McPartlin again. Haven't seen him in anything since Chuck.

Plenty of cool stuff happening. Just wasn't as gripping as the first one.
Better than the Jim Carey abomination. A milder, friendlier Grinch with a touch more humor. If we had grandkids I would own this.

I liked this entry. Other than the original, it's the only one worth owning. Really liked how vivid the 4K was versus the BR.
