Rated 4 out of 5 stars
A simple movie that's fun to watch!
I'm not sure why this movie has gotten less than stellar reviews? For the genre that it's in, it does exactly what it supposed to do! It gives you a monster you're supposed to fight, you fight it, and you win.
Either way, I enjoy watching this film. One of the reasons is that it's a short film, and doesn't try to be something that it's not. I enjoyed the story, the characters, the acting, the visuals.
The Blu-ray looks excellent, And the audio sounds great! I re-purchases this Blu-ray so I can get it in 3-D, and at the time, Best Buy was selling it for a very good price. The downside of this, is that I still don't have a 3-D TV, so I'm sorry, but I can't review this aspect of the disk.
It has a number of small featurette's as extras. And I did listen to the audio commentary by the director, which I enjoyed very much. Both 3-D and 2-D are on the same disk. You also may be interested to know, that the movie was actually shot in 3-D, and not converted. Also, that was actually shot in Russia.
So what am I saying? I'm saying that if you like this genre of movie, you should really enjoy this one! And I only gave this four stars, because I can't review the 3-D for you. Otherwise, I would give it a five!
Very sharp picture and audio.
Very entertaining. The story line is unique.

Ok
Great series available in a 4 disc bluray set. Available with the theatrical and unrated versions plus extra features. The case itself is on the bigger side similar to a Criterion bluray case has a slipcover. Although these aren't full restorations the picture quality is better then the DVDS. These are the best in the series the other spin offs although worth a laugh aren't the origanals. Well worth the $17.99 I paid for them. Pick it up if your a fan of the series.
