Absolutely none. And I own a lot of DVDs (including 5th Element - Superbit).
Like Hasufel, I think 2001 is the most beautiful SF film. But I have no interest in it (nor Lawrence of Arabia) on DVD -- it loses too much. I do have Quest for Fire on DVD because, unlike the other two, it doesn't come back to the big screen every couple of years. It's beautiful but, at the cinema, it was breathtaking.

No, I'm an Arizonan. I saw it at the Kachina Cinerama in Scottsdale, AZ, which of course was torn down years ago.

Yeah, Minority Report is really beautifully filmed. I'm not a Cruise fan, but he really surprised me in this one.

Only own one DVD and that's....you guessed it, Firefly! And the only other one I will ever own is Serenity. Well maybe Serenity II and III if there are sequels.

Titan AE is cool! I own it, too.
And for all my moaning on another thread, I got Terminator 2 Extreme edition, and I have to say, it's the most amazing transfer I have ever seen, better than Fifth Element Superbit, and that's sayin' a LOT!
Hasta la vista, baby Chrisisall

In terms of picture quality it is hard to go past Super-Bit.

A Positive Review!

For me, the mechanical design work alone is worth the price of the DVD!!
My other faves (cinematography-wise):
The Abyss: Special Edition
Bicentennial Man
Chronicles of Riddick
Contact
Equilibrium
Red Planet
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
The Thirteenth Floor
THX 1138
As for non-Sci-Fi, Steve McQueen's Le Mans (1971) impresses me even MORE than it did when I saw it in theatres at the tender age of 8!
The cinematography is literally spellbinding!!
Rushmore is just an all-around beautiful film!
