Description of The One (Superbit Collection):
The One sets a martial arts milestone by pitting action star Jet Li against his greatest enemy: himself. This sci-fi thriller establishes a "multiverse" consisting of countless parallel universes, each populated by variants of every individual. Li plays a renegade from the Multiverse Agency, illegally traveling through "quantum tunnels" to eliminate all versions of himself until only two remain, each sharing the cumulative strength of their "parallel universe versions." This mumbo-jumbo inspires a variety of dazzling special effects, and director James Wong (with cowriter and fellow X-Files alumnus Glen Morgan) injects clever humor into the Matrix-derivative premise. Carla Gugino is wasted as the "good" Li's obligatory love interest, but The One will appeal to action fans with its fast-paced pursuit between the evil Li and two agents (Delroy Lindo, Jason Statham) assigned to stop his trans-universal killing spree. It's a one-gimmick movie, best enjoyed with your brain in neutral. --Jeff Shannon
The One (Superbit Collection) Reviews:
america's critic 
2009-09-12 - this one the one was incredible with the story it was awesome cant wait to get this one on blu ray-- cgi on dvd was great action was intense and never died out what more do u want from a movie reccomended to my favorites
Jet Li must martial up the courage to fight with himself 
2009-08-08 - This is a multifaceted story of a multi-verse in which they even took the premise form the immoral. Turns out if you kill your other self in a parallel universe you get to split his chi with your otherness.
So now it is down to two. And the only person Gabe Law (Jet Li) can confide in is his better half T.K. Law (Carla Gugino). At first she hummers Gabe then when she is sure he is telling the truth it is a tad too late.
There is lots of action with kicking, shooting, and blowing things up. Both Gabs by this time are toughies and nothing can stop them. We find that it is impossible to not kibitz.
The question is in the end is there time enough for love?
Race to Witch Mountain (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]~ Carla Gugino
Lame Movie, Hilarious Ending! 
2009-07-07 - The production values are high, but what they produce is crap. The ending is so bad it's awesome with dialogue like: "I am Yu-Law...I don't need to know you, YOU need to know ME! I will be The One".
Even the fight scenes aren't entertaining. The only saving grace is that the core idea of the story is cool (i.e. killing all your alternate reality selves results in ultimate power), but in the end it's basically just a merging of the TV show "Sliders" and "Rumble In The Bronx".
Honestly, I would have paid to see a 90 minute version of the last 28 seconds of the film where the evil Yu-Law kicks the crap out of thousands of convicts that attack him atop a pyramid on a prison planet. No story, just silly, over the top action.
Excellent Film 
2009-05-21 - A look at endless possibilities and life in other worlds. Scientists are almost certain that we live in a multiverse brimming with parallel universes, leading different lives that we can only imagine. If you love science and the possibility of life in other worlds, you will certainly appreciate this film. Packed with action, adventure, mystery and a punch at alternate realities, this is one film you don't want to miss. Sci-Fi at its best.
Product is like new ! 
2009-01-20 - I am very happy with the like new condition of the product and the speed in which it was sent to me.
