Even though the movie is long it hardly scratched the surface of the book. It's the size of a friggin' dictionary. 

 

:D

The book was by L. Ron Hubbard.  The movie was done as a special tribute by John Travolta.

This one is about a plane that crashes in the middle of a desert. The survivors end up trying to rebuild it to get out because they will not be found.

This isn't as bad as reviews make it out to be, but it would be better with no sound. It has possibly the worst soundtrack i've heard in awhile. Their choice of music for scenes is just so bizarre. Who the heck uses Massive Attack songs for a sad death scene?! Then the acting is just awkward. Usually it ends up with people screaming at each other and saying stupid things. Seriously these people are so dumb somtimes that they fight over water on day one and lose it. They did have some left and only enough to last them 30 days.

 

I suggest watching "Alive" instead. It's about a group of people who crash in the middle of the Andes and are forced into cannibalism to survive. It's not as bad as it sounds.

 

You should check this wiki out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Andes_flight_disaster

 

The documentary of it called "Stranded" is good too.

The book is significantly better.  The original movie is better as well but is dated and overacted.

I've honestly been wanting to re-read it lately.

Wasn't Battlefield Earth about what Scientologists actually believe, or something? This is the kind of thing that makes me unable to consider actors like Travolta and Tom Cruise as noing more than clowns.

Hmm, going to ask the resident movie-goers on this one, but I'm planning to pick up a copy of Metropolis later today. Should I go for the 2010 re-restoration Blu-ray, or the older version (heard there were some problems on the new ones)?

8/10 An interesting take on a treatment resistant viral epidemic.  Scarier than 28 days because it felt real.  Strong cast.

Enjoy! I ended up seeing my old copy again this year. Such a fantastic movie. Even now!

easy 10/10 for me... It's just priceless in nearly every scene. As long as it is, I never took a look at the time once, and had badly to go to the bathroom, but refused to miss a second. Just classic Tarantino all around, amazing script, flawless acting, especially by Waltz, genius comedic relief on some parts, and of course the needed blood and gore. Better than "Basterds" in my opinion. Bravo

I can't wait to see it. Saw Inglorious in the theater and thought it was OK, liked it better at home on DVD. Nice to hear him get to his true potential again.

Django was awesome, I've watched it a couple times now.  And just so happen to watch Inglorious Basterds last night to get more of Christoph Waltz.  The guy is brilliant!
