Reader Reviews I wanted to review this movie mainly to review Unbox. There are a lot of nasty reviews of Unbox on the Internet, most of which are a year old. It appears that Amazon has improved the software since its release, since I could turn off its running in the system tray at startup (one of the biggest complaints out there) and the player worked fine for me. I installed it on one of my XP Media Center PCs and the best way I found to play it was by running Media Center and going to the My Videos section, where it was immediately available for playback (this was after I had downloaded it). All I needed Unbox for was the download and that took about 3 hours. The playback quality was great, especially considering the original film quality of this is about 3.5 out of 5 (i.e. the bitrate quality fit the film quality). All-in-all, it was a good experience, for me. And when I'm done, the DVD won't require Unbox to play it ;) As far as a review of the film itself, I mainly downloaded it to burn for a friend and I may or may not watch it, so no review here.
