I hate to break it to you, but I've downloaded about 15 1080p movies (and about 30 720p movies) and it really wasn't any worse than downloading 480p movies a couple of years ago ... The average 1080p movie available for download is (roughly) 8GB while a 720p movie is closer to 4GB.
The technology exists today where you can actually stream HD movies from a dedicated video-on-demand service, but it will be a couple of years before most companies upgrade their hardware and are able to offer such services on a wide scale.
