    Finally Watched Vertical Limit



    I finally sat down and watched this DVD. What a pleasant surprise! After all the negativity I'd read in reviews and peoples' comments, I was expecting a stinker. It had a beautiful transfer, good DEEP bass (can you say nitroglycerin?) and lots of "Hold On!" moments. Now it'll never be confused with Citizen Cane as a landmark in cinema (especially with the acting skills of Bill Paxton), but it was most definitely a fun ride. I recommend a rental, at least!

    On a 1 to 10 scale, I give it a 7.

    Hmmm. About that Superbit . . . .

    David, I'm with you on this one. It's a good movie. Much better than the reviews for sure. Not oscar, but enjoyable none the less.

      I've watched this a couple of times. I understand they're bringing this out on Superbit, but I wouldn't bother with it. The picture on the original is reference quality as far as I am concerened. And the soundtrack rocks.

          Hi, CH.
          I really meant to say I wouldn't buy the Superbit because I already owned the original and the picture on it was probably as good as the Superbit.

                I didn’t have this movie and was in the mood for action so I decided to pickup the superbit version. This is a fun ride and I am glade I got this one.

                  I'm in complete agreement, Mark. I find it's a white knuckle ride even after two viewings.
