COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Misleading Case submitted by Vandenbroek on August 26, 2008, 8:06am There is absolutely nothing on the DVD case that indicates that this is the second of two DVDs each titled Longitude. If you pick this up like I did not knowing this you will find yourself trying to figure out a plot that starts 100 minutes into the story.
