Dissapointing Gameplay
The game is a total disappointment. No wonder the extremely fast price drop. From the start to finish, all you do is jump and run around. Boring game!

Great Movie but HORRIBLE Bluray menu design
1 of 5 found this helpful I loved the film when I first watched it w/ 3D glasses in the movie theater and I watched it in Spanish...haha. It was so cute, like most of the Disney animation films. On the 23rd of March, I got the Bluray+DVD combo pack as a gift. I was so excited UNTIL I played the bluray disc on the PS3 and found out that the menu interface was HORRIBLE.
When I tried the popup menu, the movie scales down to 1/8 - 1/4 of the screen, so the whole menu pretty much overshadowed the movie. It was total waste of real state (screen space). A total disappointment! I felt that I was playing World of Warcraft or something.
I'm not trying to bash (well, actually I am :P ) Deluxe Digital Studios about their poor menu design and development; but this is the big proof that "cheap contractors with 10 PhD's" from other countries aren't necessary the right people to do these types of jobs.
Now, regarding their BD-Live, another disappointment. Somehow the software doesn't connect well to the internet. But I'm not going to criticize this feature since it still kind of "in process of development." Even Sony DADC's developers are working hard on this. But as for Bluray menu design, the best are done by Sony DAC or 1K Studios (this last one got screwed because they were on the HD-DVD side).
Anyway, overall...as I said, the film is great but the software is a big no. For now, just stick to Netflix :P , Disney is going to come up with some type of "Special Edition" in the future anyway, by that time, Bluray technology will be at its full potential. But if you just want to get that magic code to gain rewards (rewards that look exactly the same as the ones from the $0.99 stores) go ahead and enjoy them...

Definetely not the novel....
1 of 2 found this helpful I love Stephen Kings novels, but once they get into films/media, they lose the "creepy twist" (except for a couple of old ones). However, I liked this version better than the original one. Rob Lowe did a pretty good job, I've always thought of him as a pretty good actor with a lot of potential. As for Sutherland, I didn't really like his performance here, I was kind of disappointed. Maybe because his character wasn't strong enough? Overall, the script will never be as good as the novel, but the DVD itself was not that bad.
