awesome. I'm like pretty giddy about his cuz Regeneration was fucking awesome. One of the best action films of the 2000s for me. Beats the shit out of The Expendables films and many others as well. You fucking felt those hits, man. When action films do that...you got gold, son. Makes me wish Cameron would do a fully live action film again. The man knows how make those hits feel right.

Get VUDU. Works off your 360 or PS3 if you have them.
Alright. Finally finished seeing it. We probably need a reviews thread for this as well. So I'm putting my review in spoilers. Not much to spoil from we've read here but..maybe too much as well.

I got it on Xbox, but not sure it is worth the $6 they want to charge considering I will have it free in a month. Did love and just ordered Regeneration...

Can't read Solid Snake's comments just yet. Was gonna go out tonight, but I think I will be staying in and watching this on VUDU.
I noticed Amazon has it now for $9.99. I think the SD version through VUDU could be less. Either way, I'm seeing it in a few minutes. We should start a 'reviews' thread, too.
EDIT - looks like it's $9.99 on VUDU for the SD version. It goes up for the HD & HDX versions.

I set up my PS3 and 360 w/ VUDU. I've never used it till someone here mentioned it. In doing so..I got $10.98 in credit. The 720hp is $10.99. Soooo I paid a penny for it. Totally worth the penny.

...I don't know. It's so much different than Regen was to UniSol. I think it's an overall superior film to Regen but...I think I enjoyed Regen more. I don't know how to explain that. I think I just like the prime location in that one so much more cuz it was so visual for it. But this one is pretty fucking awesome
I honestly do think that this film will polarize what people may think it may be. It's actually a film that will make you actually think a bit. Not cuz it has depth to it but cuz the story is a kind of a mind fuck for you.

Okay, just finished watching it. Man, I'll have to write a review for it, but keeping it simple - it's a such a
Okay, somebody give John Hyams money and a studio picture deal and let him direct something big. Expendables 3 would be a fine start.

I totally want Hyams to do EX3. Someone competent enough to get a good plot and solid direction. I'd argue that in US action films...Hyams is the best chance to get what we really want in our action films. Things that the EX1 and EX2 failed at. Shit stories, too much cheese, iffy editing, weird ass color timing, and half assed attempts in believing our heroes feel pain. Hyams gets it all right. I know my hero will triumph but at least surprise me, you know?

This movie blew me away. At times I didnt even know what I was watching, but I loved it. Brutal fight scenes. Im sure half the budget was on fake blood.
