I know this is a very disliked movie, but it's entertaining, it's popcorn entertainment...like said before, I hope the two-disc version features both the theatrical and extended cut in one disc via seamless branching, and extras on the other disc, and not one cut per disc...or at least something like the complete dossier for Apocalypse Now...

The movie was cut by the studio so that it could be shorter...and what do studios care about presenting a complete work? They don't!!

I don't know why this movie got so trashed. I enjoy it every time I watch it. Have the HD DVD. Seeing extra 40+ minutes will be cool. It was never suppose to be some kind of documentary, just a fun romp of action on the seas.

I also really like this movie. Got the HD DVD version in a sale and it was a cool revisit in HD. Which brings me to. Why Universal? You re-release the movie and doesn't bring it out on Blu-ray?

What's wrong with the HD DVD version? I still have it only on DVD. At least you have it in HD. Realistically Universal is probably taking their time doing Blu-Ray on some of the not so great selling catalog titles. Remember they already did a full catalog run in HD DVD. Give them some time man...
