This is the first 1.1 er...Enhanced Viewing BD to come out. Its also a Fox disc. Despite that, it plays. :-) I admit I was skeptical. It took quite a while to load, but it played. Its also 18Mbps, that's less than half the rate they used on The Simpsons Movie. Go figure. Some people here *cough*Oscar*cough* would call that bit starved if this was an HD DVD. There is a little bit of artifacting right after the Fox/Spotlight symbol, but the movie itself is fine-no real problems that I noticed-good color, detail etc., no obvious banding (lots of chances for it). I can't comment on the 1.1 features, but considering the subject matter, it doesn't look like they spent alot of time and energy on this. Space type movies can and should look phenomenal in HD. This is good, but not phenomenal. Another average HD disc. Is this the way things are going to be in the future?
I can hardly wait.
