Your Opinions and Comments

8 / 10
A fun sci-if comedy with rather hilarious performances by Jones and Smith.
Bugs have taken over the the Earth and the men in black are here to rescue us all. Oh, well... . :)
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs and for a 10 year-old movie, the special effects are nice.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are nicely used and create a decent sound envelope.
The menus are nicely animated with sound.
The extras include a visual commentary by the crew, a detailed behind the scenes featurette, 4 multi-angles scenes, 5 deleted and extended scenes, 3 storyboards, several picture galleries, a video clip and some production notes. All in all - a more than decent set of extras for a single-disc edition.
Bottom line - a cool (and hip) popcorn movie. Enjoy.
