My sony dvd player plays sacd as well as dvd's model number to follow (when I get home from work)

It was around £400 I think.

I'm definately looking forward to seeing it.
I just realised the other day the little kid in it is the same one who was in "Man on Fire".
Steven Speilberg's and Tom Cruises team up was briliant in Minority Report, so I'm guessing this is going to be just as good if not better.

Ah thanks David.....10 out of 10 you say.... Sounds like its definately going to be a good film then.
I'm going next week. Can't wait.
I checked out the music the other day online and it is indeed, very good too.

Amazing Film! You have to see it! I thought it was very well done, special effects were amazing, the budget on this film must have been massive!! Some tense bits, bits which make you jump and parts which are sort of scary! :D

The only problem i had with it is i would like a little bit more explanation at the end...

Other than that its great, but a 12A? id say it was more a 15.... :)

It was ok I guess.

No where near as good as I'd hoped.

Spoiler: 
To my mind it was also severely let down by the aliens. The tripods were quite good tho. But the aliens seemed rushed and very similar to the ones from independance day. I liked the burning train. The voice over by morgan freeman was a good touch tho.

Spoiler: 
When cruise saw the birds pecking at the aliens the sheild was down therefore vunerable to attack.

If you heard the end they were attack by bacteria which made them ill, thus causing there shield to fail.


Spoiler: 
I was pleased to hear there battle cry, and see the red weed.


Watch out for the other three films coming out soon

WOTW

Pendragon version is out on DVD in US (Amazon) no uk date as of yet

Jeff Wayne Musical CGI movie due 2007ish

Good film really enjoyed it but ended a bit to abruptly for my liking. The voiceover was nowhere near as good as John Hurt but im not going to winge too much. A lot of 9/11 references in there with the clothes falling through the air and the dust, the documentary style way it was shot etc - not sure if that was a good or a bad thing but it did add to the drama of the film. I'd give it a 4/5 anyway.

Spoiler: 
The aliens did look like the independance day ones now you mention it - never though of that.
