I agree entirely with this statement, extended doesn't necessarily mean better. I'm having this same argument on avforums over here in the UK about 'Watchmen' they are bitching and moaning that we're 'only' getting the theatrical cut and you guys are getting the extended cut. My argument was...
That's what I thought, in no way is this set bare bones! Thanks for the review RAH I'm currently waiting for my copy to arrive from the states it was posted on the 16th January! And for those moaning about the price if I could get this set for $65 only I would snap your hand off. Some...
I best get my tin foil hat ready... There's some pretty way out there conspiracy theories going on. I in all honetsy have never had a BD fail on me not a one.
Nor me, I was fence sitter until the whole thing was resolved. I think I'm going to have to go do a bit research re production bottle necks me thinks..
hmm the first paragraph is a rehash of old format war talk, why isn't blu ray ready for prime time? because of production limitations? Could someone please supply some links for the information that says production plants are at capacity and that's why warner et al are releasing Blu rays with...
In fairness Rick, the 3 pages have been between only a few people. I got this disk a couple of weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it and my 3 sons absolutely lapped it up so much so we have speedracer lego, computer games and posters, isn't that the point?
David I do understand what you are saying but this disc is just unbelievable it truly is demo quality, take a punt buy it you will be thouroghly impressed. It completely blew me away.
See now I wasn't going to respond to you directly on your review but I'm sorry you are doing exactly that you are pushing your own visual aesthetic and no ammount of covering it up by saying it's a matter of 'taste' hides it. it really feels like you are telling us we are all wrong you are...
Oh it is absolutely a standard bearer!! just finished watching it on Blu ray. As was said earlier I had absolutely no expecatation when I came to this one I was completely pleasantly surprised by what I saw. My children loved every neon coloured minute of it. I think it's quite easy for some to...
Yeah I do know what you mean but I was surprised by this soundtrack.. Thinking about it though it's probably a bit to expensive to ship to the states as a bare bones release and with the lossy track. I gues you've waited this long so a little bit longer won't hurt at all. Cheers!
Hi Dave, the track I can guarantee is not so so it is brilliant. try www.movietyme.com do a search and you can order it there. not sure on the cost to the states but worth checking out if you do crack!
I can confirm this is the lossy 640k track, i know a bit of a let down but the transfer is just superb i loved it. I will probably get the Universal release as well to be honest I want the extras that was on the 2 disc set. So Dave if the lossy track is a deal breaker i would wait.
I am really looking forward to this, we are really starting to get a bit of an eclectic mix released on blu ray what with the Criterion announcement as well. It also looks like Sony coul dhit there 100 releases for 2008 at this rate as well.
