Oh yeah, they really laid on the DNR heavy at times...well most of the time actually. It's as smooth looking as a baby ass most of the time. I really haven't seen a title with this much DNR since the Predator re-release, so that's pretty bad.

I bought the blu-ray and can only say what a boring film. My wife watched it with me and we kept wondering when the plot was going to unfold. Well, it never did. I can't recall the last time I watched a film and felt it was about absolutely nothing. Didn't care about any of the characters either. Oh well, more power to those that find this film enjoyable.

Interested in selling it to me?

I'm actually planning on putting it on Ebay (probably this weekend).
