you can see in the movies that the effects added to the so called DX10 enchantmens can easily be reproduced by anyone with some Movie edditing skills.

Maybe, but that is why I like reviews like the ExtemeTech ones. They tell it like it is!
It's not a manufacturer DX10 movie job!
By the way, that game looks pretty slick. I think I will have to pick that up, except I will be gone all weekend!
I guess I can play it next week.

PS. I especially like this part:

After searching through the game for literally a couple of hours, playing alternately in DX9 and DX10, we took a battery of screenshots. We were looking for any place, any surface, any object, any effect in the game that showed a discernable difference between DX9 and DX10. We used a Vista machine with an AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card, an Intel QX6700 CPU overclocked to 3.19 GHz, and 4GB of memory. We used the pertinent beta drivers released expressly for the game.
We were disappointed.
For instance, look at the screens labeled BioShock 1. They show a room filled with water from a kneeling position—a great shot across a soggy landscape. Can you tell which is which? The "2" pair of screens is in the same room, with a view through the warped glass of Rapture into the ocean. No major differences there, either. For the "3" screens, we looked at a different transparency, this time through a sliding glass door. Then, for "4" and "5", we focused on splashing water and on fog, two particle-heavy graphics effects.
