I don't care what those critics over RT said about Afterlife, it was one of the most fun movies I've seen this year. The 3D was so awesome and you've gotta love the highly stylized action sequences. Sure, it's not original (hell, even the action sequences aren't), but that's not why you get in line for these types of movies. Yes, it's disappointing to see 60 million dollars go to a mindless popcorn flick, but sometimes, I like to just go have fun in a movie theater.

I know I'll get slammed for this but I'll take Afterlife any day or over an overrated "feel good" Oscar worthy film. I saw "Pan's Labyrinth" and while it was intriguing, there's no way it deserves a Best Picture nomination. I don't mind slow movies that take their time, but I thought it was way too slow.

Am I saying PL is better than Afterlife? No because you have one film that actually TRIES to be different and one film that aims for the lowest common denominator, but as for reaching its goal, I think Afterlife accomplishes more. It's kind of like junk food. It's REALLY bad but it's so irresistible you can't help but enjoy it.

I might pick up a Blu-ray 3D. The 3D was the best I've seen since Avatar (then again, they both used the same cameras).

BONUS QUESTION: Is it just me or does Saw 7's 3D look A LOT better than Avatar's? Avatar's 3D was amazing, but Saw 7's 3D was just ground-breaking. I mean no ghosting or grain was visible at ALL.

I dont know about it looking better but it looked good to me. I saw avater in dolby 3d and lately i have been going to Real D b/c i find it better and the glasses are new and clean and lighter than the dolby ones.

Incredibly stupid, definitely a bad movie, but that's part of why it's fun as all hell. I'll buy it.

i had a feeling it might hit before 2011 so this is cool. i saw this in 2D and plan to buy it that way. but is this the first movie to release the 2D and 3D versions at the same time?  

anyway seems to have a decent set of extras on blu so it'll sit nicely next to the previous three movies. i definately understand the "no story, only action" complaints because its true...it seems to be actions sequence after sequence but i love me over the top cheesy "cool" action so i'm in.  

Does the Blu-Ray 3D version contain BOTH 2D & 3D versions of the movie or just the 3D?

I wouldn't go as far as saying groundbreaking but Saw's 3D effects were quite entertainment and definitely got my money's worth. Call me bias anyways. I actually enjoy the Saw movies. Guilty pleasure.
BTW, Avatar on IMAX 3D was AMAZING! I refused seeing it again in RealD. IMAX or nothing.

I think it only has the 2D version, but correct me if i'm wrong but don't 2D players just play the movie in 2D instead of 3D, wouldn't that make the seperate releases a bit unneeded?

I'm not slamming your opinion but what does a foreign Fantasy / Drama film from 2006 have to do with this Action / Horror video game adaptation from 2010? It's kinda a random comparison.

I mention it because there are some people that think EVERY oscar-worthy movie is awesome and that EVERY mindless popcorn flick sucks. I'm here to say that's not true 100% of the time.

OMG YES! RE:Afterlife was the best movie that came out this year. <3

Watched this the other day. Thought it was the worst one yet.

Ultraviolet 2?
