Did some research these filters seemed to be most recommended. Does any body own these? Are they worth buying? And are the before and after pictures really that significant ??

They aren't really worth buying for photos unless you're trying to cut down reflections when flying over reflective surfaces (e.g. water).

It's mostly for glare I fly over water a lot and sometimes I do a 180* and the my screen is super bright I'm questing because of the sun. I'm not looking to be a photographer but just a little les flare up on the screen I'm looking at.

I have that set and would recommend them. They are especially needed for shooting video. In most cases you have to slow down the shutter speed for smooth video and these do that nicely. I almost always have the ND8 filter on.
These are polarized with no alignment marking so I looked through them at a reflection in line with the sun (water works best) and rotated to get the maximum effect, then marked the bottom of the rim. Then when mounting I have the MP on its back and install the filter with the mark at the orientation I think it will need dependent on the sun angle at that time.

+1 Mossiback!
It is suggested that to get cinema-like motion blur, your shutter speed shouldn't exceed twice your frames per second setting. On a bright day, you may find that your shutter speed needs to be set to somewhere around 1/800. By using the appropriate ND filter, you can drop your shutter speed down to only twice the FPS.
The difference in shutter speed makes a subtle difference to objects moving in your video. To our eyes, twice the frame rate imparts a slight bit of blur in each frame. That has the effect of making the motion seem smoother. Compare the motion of the small objects and the marionette in this video with motion blur on and off:
As said earlier, the PolarPro Cinema Vivid filters are also polarized for the added glare reduction.
