X-Men: The Last Stand

[mtrycrafts]

I can't argue with your logic. But my experience is different- in the town I currently live the theater is worthless. I have to drive 100 miles to a decent theater; as a result, I haven't gone to see a movie this year. So I pretty much have to rent or buy, or not see the movie. That's not a hardship, though; I have a pretty decent system with a pair of potent subs, a nice Optoma projector and a pretty well treated room, acoustically. It's much better than any theater I've been in, plus I have my leather furniture, and of course BEER!

Here's the deal; if I rent something for $4 bucks and love it, then I have to pay $15-20 more to buy it on top of the rental fee. If I buy it and love it, I've saved $4. Of course, it's different if it sucks. But in that case I'll usually trade or sell it. In point of fact excepting major releases that I'm pretty sure about (via word of mouth or reviews), I usually don't pay more than $8-$10 per DVD anyways, which really makes rental a waste of money for me.

What can I say
Depending how bad I want a movie at the time of release, I wait to buy it used, and at times in a 3 for x$. If I rent then want it, I wait for used and hope to get in a pack deal. Some trade ins don't fetch much at all.
Whatever works

I was very impressed with the effects, the picture quality and the DTS:ES track, but it was my least favourite of the three movies.
Worth picking up the trilogy though, if all three have the DTS on them.

X-Men The Last Stand DTS-HD MA

Wow!

I just saw this today on blu-ray in DTS-HD MA.

I'm sure the SQ has always been great, but this is my first time watching it with DTS-HD MA. And I thought it was so awesome! The LFE and Surround effects were truly superb, and the Center and Fronts were crystal clear.

PQ on my PJ was also superb.

But I just can't say enough of the LFE/Subwoofer effects!

When one of the mutants did his Shockwave power, you could actually HEAR the tremendous LFE effects of the shockwave, unlike the shockwave scene in Transformers BD.
