comes Lady in the Water.Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) has been quietly trying to disappear among the burned-out light bulbs and broken appliances of the Cove apartment complex. But one night, Cleveland finds someone else hiding in the mundane routine of the modest building - a mysterious water nymph named Story (Bryce Dallas Howard), who has been living in the passageways beneath the building's swimming pool. Story is being stalked by vicious creatures from her world that are determined to prevent her from making the journey from our world back to hers. Story's unique powers reveal the fates of Cleveland's fellow tenants, whose destinies are tied directly to her own, and they must work together to decipher a series of codes that will unlock the pathway back to her world. They must succeed in their quest to save her world...and ours.

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects Disadvantages: none
good and evil, but with cutting edge special effects and action scenes galore this is a great film to watch.
The blu-ray version i watched was a 2 disc set with the second disc full of extras. There was a section on the history of transformers, and interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and director Michael Bay. There were also features on the animation used and the way they worked out where to do scenes. You also get a look at the military equipment seen and used in the film.
This additional information is something you do not want to skip over, because it gives you a much deeper understanding of how much planning and work went into the final production. If you are into cutting edge special effects and head banging action then beg, borrow, rent, or if that fails buy ...
Advantages: an imaginatve story Disadvantages: very poorly portrayed
My attention was drawn to this movie as it was shown as a trailer during my time at the cinema watching another movie and I thought this was a movie I would enjoy. However after hearing many people saying they had been to watch this at the cinema and hated it I decided to give it a miss. The other day as I finished my shopping in asda I saw this DVD for £5.99 and thought oh lets give it a go. After watching it last night though I wished I had stuck to the giving it a miss idea.

Advantages: Brilliant Blu-ray player! Disadvantages: Slow in downloading updates, Horrible menu system!
this console mainly to play games because we have the Xbox for that which all-in-all i find a better GAMING console! However we use it as a blu-ray player, when we brought it, it was a relitively cheap, good quality blu-ray player comparitive to the others on the market at the same time and I have to say it is brilliant as a blu-ray player, plays all DVDs we have tried in truly stunning high quality HD! The menus however are not to my liking at all. So all-in-all I'd say if you were going to buy one of these buy it as a blu-ray player with the capabilities of playing games not as a games machine with the capability of playing blu-rays! ...
Mr. Shyamalan has a nice way with actors, a fine eye and an actual vision of the world (New York Times, 23/01/2007)
One of Shyamalan's admirable traits is that he never just homages earlier work, but always thoroughly overhauls his sources. There are traces in LADY IN THE WATER of TWILIGHT ZONE writer Rod Serling's tales... (Sight and Sound, 23/01/2007)
Zooming in, Giamatti and Howard are technically perfect... (Total Film, 23/01/2007)
[T]hanks to superb performances, it's pretty engrossing. Howard draws you right in, there's no way not to empathize with Giamatti... (Ultimate DVD, 23/01/2007)
DVD Description
Kindly caretaker Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti, SIDEWAYS) discovers an elfin creature named Story (Bryce Dallas Howard, THE VILLAGE) living in the swimming pool of the apartment complex where he works. It soon becomes apparent to Cleveland that Story is not of this world, and that her mission to deliver a message to mankind is fraught with danger. The stuttering caretaker tries valiantly to protect her so that she may have safe passage back to the Blue World from whence she came. Suspension of disbelief is mandatory in this beautifully realised modern day fable, directed by master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan, who puts his own unique spin on the conventions of the traditional fairy tale.
