This movie was part of the last FantasyFilmFest. But it was shown at a time which did not fit my schedule. When I saw that it was available at a reasonable price on Blu I have bought it.
I must say I am disappointed with this movie. It was said to be some kind of "Heroes" rip-off. But the movie was a rather mess, in my opinion. The actors were not good. Dakota Fanning was rather disappointing. As a child actor she was rather good ("War of the World", even though she screamed a lot), but now a teenager she didn't seem to have improved. It felt rather awkward.
The story is uninteresting. The different type of powers there are, are mostly fun to watch ("Pusher" - can control the mind, "Mover" - is telekinetic, "Watcher" - can see the future), but I really didn't like the "Bleeders", who emit high-pitched sounds. They really looked stupid doing so and it got very tired after the first time.
I cannot recommend this movie.

M*A*S*H, a review by addicted2dvd

M*A*S*H
One of the world's most acclaimed comedies, M*A*S*H focuses on three Korean War Army surgeons brilliantly brought to life by Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt and Elliott Gould. Though highly skilled and deeply dedicated, they adopt a hilarious, lunatic lifestyle as an antidote to the tragedies of their Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and in the process infuriate Army bureaucrats. Robert Duvall, Gary Burghoff and Sally Kellerman co-star as a sanctimonious Major, an other-worldly Corporal, and a self-righteous yet lusty nurse.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I have not watched in years. It is a fun movie to watch... I enjoy it. But I do prefer the series over this movie. That could be because I grew up watching the series. While the movie was fun it lacked the style of comedy that the series is so well known for. My interest in the movie strayed a bit once they got to the football game. I mean it was ok... but not sure it worked well with the rest of the movie. Especially where they had Hot Lips lead the cheerleaders. That just seemed out of character for her going by the rest of the movie.
