5.0 out of 5 stars Great, November 16, 2008

By	Charles H. Mills "moviemanmills" (Camp Hill, Pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally purchased this movie on laser disc, then DVD. There was little or no difference; however the Blu Ray provides clarity and sound that I feel was missed on the previous releases. Excellent movie.
Thanks
Mills

5.0 out of 5 stars THE excuse to buy a blu ray player, January 17, 2009

By	Dennis E. Math "barbarosa" (Western Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is a hoot!!! It is also probably THE greatest reason to buy into the blu ray system. I needed a shower after watching this movie because I actually felt like I had been knee deep in giant bug guts for 2+ hours when it was over. GREAT EXPERIENCE that could only be experienced with Blu Ray!!
There are a lot of other movies that you will just plain miss out on way too much without the superior video and audio quality of Blu Ray. If you dont believe me, check out a system with this movie then watch the same movie on standard DVD......night and day difference!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Technical Caveat for Novices, June 20, 2009

By	R. Kevin Hill (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

Like several of the negative reviewers, I also found that the disc would not play on my brand new Sony BDP 350. First I'd like to thank the reviewers here who explained the nature of the problem. For those as novice-y as I was, here's the deal. On the back of your Sony, there is a recessed slot about 1"x0.5" with a USB port in it (USB ports are probably also to be found on your computer). All that you need is a standard flash drive plugged in there, the same kind of flash drive commonly sold at drugstores (I used a Duracell flash drive bought at Wallgreens). The only hitch is the recessed socket: it is just barely big enough to get a USB plug into it, but too small for some flash drives to fit (i.e., the plug will fit in the socket, but the casing the flash drive is in is too big for the hole the socket is mounted in). This is maddening but fixable too. If you cannot get a flashdrive that is narrow and flat enough to fit in the hole (many manufacturers are putting them in bigger cases for aesthetic reasons) you can save the day with a male-to-female USB cable extension, which is what I did (because I happened to have one around). You can probably get either a drive that fits, or if you already have one that doesn't, the cable extension, at Radio Shack. Second, big thumbs down to Sony: they are responsible for the format, the player AND the film, and it's inexcusable that their design required this--everything should "just work."
