I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

An amazing show. I just can't say anything else. For a concert that my favourite band plays and plays almost all the song from not their best album, it's still a perfect show. I already rated Chaos in motion a 10, but the only thing I didn't like with CIM is that it's not one single concert. Live at Budokan is one. And what a show! James Labrie's voice is fantastic. John Petrucci's talent is unbelievable. Mike Portnoy's drumming is breathtaking. Jordan Rudess fingers are invisible to human eyes with the speed he plays the keyboard and John Myung...well, it's John Myung. There you go. I just described the band Dream Theater through all their discography. And through the set list of this show as well. Live at Budokan, a must see for fans of metal, progressive rock and maybe even classical music. Watching this show just makes me so peaceful inside of me... See you guys, I'm going' to buy the DVD!

I have discovered this band about 10 years ago and no other type of musical work satisfies me then... Every member of the band is at least master on their instruments and precision and synchronism of their performances are just incredible. They redefined the term "progressive rock" in my opinion. I saw one live show of Dream Theater in Istanbul in 2005 and... I quit to go concerts from thereon :)) Live in Budokan is not just a live performance; it is a lesson to all music enthusiasts on how to play, how to compose and how to enjoy when dealing with music.. All members have already exceeded themselves and you will definitely be amazed when you start the watch this unique show! Briefly: Just unbelievable! Thank you Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess, Myung and LaBrie for your work... I know you will continue to amaze us for some time :)) What can I give to this brilliant work other than 10/10?

If you're a frustrated musician, get this video. If you're seeking for challenging songs to play along, get this video. If you want to seek finesse and grace of music craftsmanship, get this video. If you want to see a real concert and not just a crappy show, get this video. If you want to improve your music skills, get this video. Simply said, this IS one of the bands you must listen to before you die... If possible, collect all their DVD releases and their albums. I've listened to them for the last 8 years and so far none can match their heart and skills they put in their songs. Perfection at its best can only be described (and maybe subscribed to) this band.

Dream Theater-put plain and simple-is really an amazing band. Each member has learned to play their instrument as well as anyone else on the face of the planet, individually they are amazing. Then you put them together. The result is a downright astounding band. The documentary on disc 2 is pretty well done if the three hour (18 song) concert isn't enough for you. Throw in the Mike Portnoy Drum Solo and the multi-angle version of Instrumedely and you have yourself one heck of a DVD set. If "Live At Budokan" was priced at $50 it would be worth buying, but being that it isn't use the money you have left over and get the CD as well.
