Summary: This is the one that made me buy my DVD player ...
Review: I was going to wait for PlayStation 2 to go DVD but when I saw this package, I had to get one right away.First off, I call this movie the ClockWork Orange for Generation X. I love the film. I love the concept. And, yeah, I'll admit it, I loved the '90s Ultraviolence. The way this DVD comes together with extensive behind the scenes stuff, cool additional audio commentary and a great box makes it the best package to date. All this and it's a damn good movie.

Summary: The voice of our generation.....
Review: After I first saw this movie, i felt disturbed. Invaded. I realized that many of the thoughts, ideas, and philosophies behind this movie are shared by many people in my generation. The second time I saw it, I was encouraged....my eyes opened. We're sick of it! We're sick of how our society jerks us around, tells us how to be, and tells us who we are. This film inspired me to take drastic measures. Fight the norm. Be who I was created to be and nothing less. Not only did this film have alot to say about life in general, it was masterfully written by Chuck Palanuik and acted by Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The chemistry was astounding! Never have I seen two actors perfectly fit into their roles and then play off of each other so well. I would like to suggest that, if you have a DVD player, you purchase this film on DVD. The special features surpass any that I have seen on any "special edition" out there. So go ahead, take the Fight Club challenge and be changed. You may never look at your life the same again.........

Summary: consumer beware
Review: I watched this movie on the fourth of July. It ended up being a great choice for Independence Day. I am 24 years old and relate to many of the social problems related in this film. Being that capitalism drives this country it is obivious that we as a people have to consume large quanities of products to run our economy. Everywhere you look and I mean everywhere; there is an advertisement telling you of your need to buy. billboards, television comercials, magazines, matchbooks, and whatever else. Consumerism can be a soul taking action once people begin to equate what they own with who they are. Television is a big culprit in this. Be like Mike drink Gatorade(gatorade is a trademark of blah..blah..blah) drive this car it says you're successful. As many of my generation I grew up with the wonderful electronic babysitter. It was always on in my house think of it as a communal fireplace. I had no real direction in life other than I felt the need to be entertained. Fight club also takles the fact that men have been feminized over the years. Men in are current climate are seen mostly as sperm donors rather than people. Their masculine agressive instincts are seen as a negative. So take an T.V overdosed male, place him in an eight by eight cubicle after college in a stressful job. How does that person cope. Fight club faces these issues by showing extremes. It offers no outcomes only the problems. Which I feel is a flaw of the film. To those who dislike the movie I say this. Should we really turn a blind eye to the ugliness that sometimes surfaces in life? I feel we should think about them to try to solutions on an individual level. Which is what I feel this movie was about. Raising an issue to provoke thought. Also Fight Club does not promote anarchy.

Summary: Must have DVD
Review: I thought this movie was brilliant at the theater. I enjoyed its black humour. I can understand why many people may not like it because of its violence, but it didn't phase me. I found the story, and the cinematography just beautiful. So the movie itself was great. The DVD is brilliant. Its adds to the movie in the way only a truely utilised DVD of today can do. The interactivety is impressive. Though I would have liked a bit more of a documentary that stepped me through the making of the movie. One of the best features of the movie is the commentry by Fincher, Pitt and Norton. The discussion wouldn't be out of place with the guys sitting in your lounge room over a few beers. With their humour and their insight into the ideas of the movie. The features that show off how the movies SFX will just amaze. I love computer graphics, and this stuff REALLY shows what you can do. If you liked the movie, get the DVD. If your looking for a very clever transfer, get the DVD. Its well worth the money.

Summary: Intense flick & DVD worth the bucks
Review: Ed Norton's best performance to date and Brad Pitt plays an excellent supporting role. Although the blood is a bit intense at times the story line and dialog kept me glued to the screen. Best of all the DVD has all the options and an excellent sound track. Well worth the money.

Summary: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!
Review: What a great film! It was totally not what I had expected, and the last 20 minutes of the film were simply amazing! This is by far Fincher's best work, ever better than seven, which was also a great film. Brad Pitt, who I despise, was really great as Tyler Durden, and Helena Bonham Carter was totally cool as Marla. Edward Norton, who made the poor "American History X" film, truly redeems himself in a fantastic starring role. The film also boasts a PHENOMENAL soundtrack by The Dust Brothers, and I highly recommend that you pick it up if you liked the film. As for the movie, it was quite entertaing, and not at all what i had expected. I was surprised that there were very little fights. The plot truly carries the movie, not the brief, and bloody fights. I think that fans of the movies "Roadhouse", and "Lionheart" will enjoy this, but be aware that this film is ten times more complicated than those two put together. Worthy of a second viewing.........

Summary: An edgy thriller that will leave you wanting to see it again
Review: A nearly perfect movie, thoughtfully directed and wonderfully scored, which is marred only by a weak finish (minus the shocker-a-la-sixth-sense which is dropped on the viewer during the final scene). See this movie. Like many great films, it artfully blends suspense, action, comedy, and a quirky kind of romance to create a tapestry that keeps the viewer engaged. Get the DVD. The DVD comes with a second full disc of excellent inside peeks, interviews, and all the other general window-dressings. Even the packaging itself is worth looking at for an hour or so. Why buy and not rent? This movie is worth seeing many times. After you've watched it three or four times, you'll undoubtedly want to share the experience with your friends. For the number of times you're destined to watch this flick, buying is the more economical choice. (Plus the rental might not come with the extras disc.) Finally, let me mention the visuals, many done by the film house BUF. Wow. From the opening sequence, through the Furni Catalog and Pilot Light (not to mention the Kama-Sutra scene) and all the way to the final scene, this movie will stun you with its masterful use of editing, photogrammetry, and several other cutting-edge technologies. Wow.

Summary: Great movie, phenomenal disc
Review: I'll get this out of the way early: I've never read the book. I'm also not going to give you my opinion of the film. Oh- who am I kidding? I like the film. But that's irrelevant. I'm here to talk about the disc. The DVD. The candy. In my opinion, this is the single finest disc produced to date. This is the disc you buy to play for your friends to make them run out and buy their own DVD players. Not only is the transfer perfect, not only is the sound incredible, but it also has an amazing array of extra features ranging from alternate takes and deleted scenes, to behind the scenes peeks at the filming of individual sequences. And it is the presentations of these that really make it stand out above the crowd. For instance, when you watch the alternate version of a confrontation between Norton and his boss, you not only see the alternate version, but also get to view the version in the film immediately afterwards, to place it into context. And, if you like, you can listen to an optional commentary explaining the context of the scene, why it was changed, and what they were trying to accomplish. There are also just plain deleted scenes, in which you get to see it book-ended by the scenes between which it was originally sandwiched, again with the optional commentary explaining why it was cut. And there are several of these scenes. You can also watch the creation of many effects sequences, following them from the drawing board to execution, with alternate video and audio combinations: for instance, you can watch the creation of the plane crash, with one of two video options, or watch them split screen, with one of two audio options, or you can watch it in any combination you like simply by pressing the "audio" and "angle" buttons on your remote. You can also watch the filming of different scenes, with different audio options, as well as the video option of watching director David Fincher scouting the scenes and explaining to his crew what is going to be going on, or, again, watch it all split screen if you choose, with different audio combinations. There's more. There's lots more. But do I need to still go on? Have you not already clicked the "buy" button? What are you waiting for?

Summary: First time a book and movie compliment each other so well
Review: It was going to happen eventually, a movie that lived up to the book so well. I still have a hard time beliving that this movie didn't make millions at the box office, then I have to remind myself that unlike most of the stuff coming out of hollywood, this movie isn't wrapped up in a nice little package for the cookie cutter mavie watchers out there. The book, the movie, and now the DVD, everything with "Fight Club" attached to it has been astounding so far. This DVD blew my mind. I would buy a DVD player just for this 2 disk set. The packaging along was worth my 20 bucks. The booklet has positive AND negative reviews of the movie! Genius. And the extras, oh my god the extras. There's so much here you could edit it into another whole movie. Cut scenes, commercials, trailers, special effects shots, behnd the scenes... There's to much there... This is the DVD that everything else will be measured against... If you dont own it, quite honestly there's something wrong with you.
