Really good film. I think your average joe/jane enjoyed it for the most part but the ambiguous ending was a turn off. Little do most of them know that the film is based off a series of novels and that the director, Peter Weir often ends his films in the middle of a beat.
One thing to note and I'm not sure if this will become a trend is the dual release of the special edition and regular release at the same time. I guess the studios are finally figuring out that most don't watch/care about the extras and the aficionados are guilable enough spend double. That's the problem, places like Best Buy will discount the regular edition but not the special one.
