I am very pleased with the picture and sound of this HD DVD. Not 5 star but definitely 4 stars. Nice addition to my HD DVD collection.

I recently rented this at our local library, and unfortunately all they had was the"full screen" version - meaning, chopped off at the sides. Watching the aerial scenes, I realized this is NOT the way to view this movie!
That said, I enjoyed "The Aviator," despite its being a bit too long and unfocused. I wish Scorcese had taken more time at the beginning to develop Hughes' character, and spent less time on his relationship with Katherine Hepburn (whom I found REALLY annoying).
"The Aviator" is not a definitive depiction of Howard Hughes' life (nor does it pretend to be) but if you enjoy lavishly-produced movies with great sets, decent acting, and a sense of history, you'll enjoy "The Aviator.'

I love this movie and I was looking forward to owning it. But the dvd was so messed up it hardly plays. Now how does a brand new dvd get all scratched up like the copy I recieved? This is the first of many products I have purchased through that I am not happy with.

The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio is an exciting film about the life and loves of Howard Hughes, the film also focuses on his plane crash, his obsession with cleanliness, and his financial struggles. DiCaprio should've won the oscar for lead actor instead of that over-rated Jaime Foxx. This could easily be Leo's best performance to date. And don't forget about the luminous Cate Blanchett, she won the best supporting oscar for her dead-on portrayal of screen legend, Katherine Hepburn. Kate Beckinsale also does a fine job doing her best Eva Gardner. The only thing that's disappointing is the ending, there's no real closure and it's kind of a shame since the film runs about 3 hours. This is a great biopic nonetheless so save yourself a weekend and watch this film!

I'm not surprised that Cate Blanchett won an Oscar for her supporting role, playing Katherine Hepburn, but I'm shocked that Leonardo DiCaprio did not win for his brilliant portrayal of Howard Hughes. With all Mr. Hughes's phobias and odd ways, portraying him must undoubtedly have been the ultimate challenge.
This movie was great! It was awesome seeing the genius of Director Martin Scorsese "pulling" the best from his actors and from each scene. Everyone pulled together to create a phenomenal movie that deservedly won five Oscars.
I learned many things about Howard Hughes and even more about what happened to the boy that helped form the man. Very sad in places, but uplifting in others.
I admire what Scorsese said about Hughes; very insightful: "You get a sense of Howard Hughes being Icarus with the wax wings. Those wings were great for a while, but he flies too close to the sun."
That is so sad, but so true, as this film adequately depicts. I don't think it's a typical "tear-jerker," but my heart went out to Hughes. I admit I used a few tissues.
