The Titanic 3D thing has been known for a while, except Cameron did confirm it more recently that it would be released in 2012 to celebrate the 100th anniversary. I am quite confident that The Abyss and True Lies will both be released THIS year as Fox is really pushing to cash in on all things...

It may be slightly off topic, but has Mr Cameron seen T:S? have you seen it for that matter Mr Ling? what are your thoughts? I saw a midnight preview of it last night and I must say....I thought it was quite intense. I had read some criticism, so I lowered my expectations accordingly, and what...

When I watched my UK Skynet BD when I did infact have it (waiting for the official street release now), I noticed what Bill Hunt mentioned straight away. the original Lionsgate BD had alot of edge enhancement, or as Bill put it, alot of sharpening done it. Some of the scenes inside Cyberdyne...

Mentasm, good choice with Onkyo, you will not be disappointed, even with the 5.1. I decided to re-watch T2 Skynet Edition (this time by myself) and decided to "nitpick" the disc. I've noticed the artefacts, but they aren't distracting at all. though at times, they can be noticeable. I have...

Mentasm, Perhaps I wasn't looking out for the artefacts, so I don't recall seeing anything too distracting, I was definitely pleased with the transfer. I hope Lowry restore it for it's 20th Anniversary which will be in 2011, that's the only way I can imagine T2 looking better than it does now...

I'm aware I'm quite late, but I just got my hands on T2 Skynet Edition today, though mind you, it's the UK version... It's definitely an improvement over the UK Optimum BD. The colours felt a bit more natural to me, especially at the end when Sarah dives and slides through the floor, and the...

Nice find Bats. I take it this will be released at the end of the year both on DVD/BD? My expectations have just gone through the roof. :D

I'm not at all deluded that Predator can look as good as 2001: A Space Odyssey or Blade Runner. I don't mind grain in films. My problem with Predator wasn't the grain. it was just an overall poor transfer. It wasn't quite the abomination as I originally remembered it to be, and if the source...

Okay, I decided to humour you Martin. I decided to view Predator again so I gave it a rent. I did a direct comparison on my 1080p 40'' Sony Bravia between the DVD and BD. I will admit, the daylight scenes are much nicer looking, but still with a very heavy layer of grain covering the...

Martin, perhaps you should go back and take another look at Lemmykoopah's post. he was saying that such releases like Fox's Predator and MGM's Robocop are pretty much a disgrace to HD enthusiasts. You decide to pay top dollar for a new TV, BD and/or PS3 player and when you whack your 50 bucks...

I can definitely understand and agree with most of Steve's post, but having said that... Studios still feel that its Blu's "super interactivity" which will sell the format. I wouldn't mind a 'BD Superbit', but one can argue that BD's should include the highest possible audio and picture in the...

somebody please feel free to step in and correct me... I'm pretty sure that the slightly lower bitrate shouldn't affect the overall picture quality all that much, it's not like here in the UK, we'll be receiving a macroblock-filled, pixelated, super soft looking transfer. I once read (and...

I too agree with Sam, the pop up track you did for ID4 was extensive, yet very informative and fun. I also liked the little Alien scatter hunt game thing (forget the official title). I must admit, I never actually finished it, but it was definitely one of the most unique things to Blu when it...

are you allowed to comment on this new T1 release Van? if so, do you think (or know) that it's the Lowry print or just a re-packaged 'cash-in' version?

my apologies, it was intended more as a tongue-in-cheek thing than an insult, but I see why it would be inappropriate. edited. One thing that I've always thought about is... Skynet's supposed to know alot about humans, and how to hurt us best, i.e. the T-800's "I have detailed files on human...
