While I have to say that this movie was good. Nothing spectacular..... The video and audio presentation made this my new reference/demo standard....
Visually, this is a very stunning movie. The colors are somewhat muted on some things (you know to give it that post-war look), however things that should stand out, look perfect with just the right amount of color to make you long for it. Like wanting water in the desert, sure a beer would taste better, but water after you've not had it for a couple days... is magical! ha ha
The audio quality is one of the best I've heard on my home theater to date. The entire film uses audio queues to let the watcher know exactly what's going on. It was really one of the best soundtracks that really immerses you in the movie. Whether it's just little sounds coming from the surrounds or actual things on screen moving all around you, it is all done perfectly. The sound of the Drones in the movie is what completely blew me away, it just felt "right." And when one of them is damaged and requesting help, the alarm/signal is done in such a perfect way that they correctly go the echoing of it depending on the environment. I really can't say enough on how "accurately" the sound was done. I don't think I've ever been brought into a movie just due to the audio track like I have with this one.
The story itself is an interesting idea on a post war/alien invasion premise with somewhat of a twist. It held my attention through the movie and got me about 2/3 the way through before I figured out what was going on and really had an idea how the ending was going to be. Then the fun of just watching it unfold.
I'd say if you want to show off your system, get this movie and show people (as I think this movie has been over looked and will impress people). Is it worth buying... for demoing, yes, as an over all movie... eh maybe... It's definitely worth at least one run through!!!
