"When I got my HD-DVD player last year one of the titles I couldn't wait for was Big Lebowski. I hadn't seen it in several years and when I finally put it in the player, I was so glad I had waited. Not only is the picture and the sound excellent, but this is one of the greatest movies of all time.
The writing is so good. The acting is fantastic (Jeff and John's best acting performances by far). The comedy is still funny after 11 viewings. I still giggle to myself anytime I think about the scene where Walter jumps out of the car 'To take the hill' and the machine gun is going off, while the Dude crashes into a telephone pole. Hilarious hilarious all the way through.
Just remember not to spread human ashes on the beach when the wind is blowing. LOL LOL LOL"
"Picture and sound quality is a bit improved, but other than that you are spending money on the exact same DVD. Usually, when a 'Collector's Edition' is released, especially after a movie gains such a huge cult following like Lebowski has, people actually go through the effort of including cast commentaries, more bonus features, and...well, more than just repackaging the old DVD with a new name, a new cover, and a higher retail price.
Shame on Universal and Focus Features."
"this HD DVD is amazing! The video and sound quality is amazing and the movie itself is a classic. Oh and as far as the guy below saying Blu-Ray is outselling HD DVD...times are changing quick my friend, check around. "
"Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which is a gift: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling 'winnings.' But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm. "
"I am rating this HD DVD at 5 star because of excellent video transfer, after all buying HD DVD means expecting impressive visual. when you watch this movie try not to place logic into the story line as this will make no sense. enjoy the action and beautiful sceneries.
This is an extra notes as owner of both Blu-ray and HD DVDs, virtually all HD video transfer are of very good or excellent quality, while Blu-ray varies from totally rubbish (Bram Stroker's Dracula)to excellent (Casino Royal). "
