Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
Starship Troopers and it's sequel coming to BD July 29th. No official specs but it's supposed to port over all the extras from the SE DVD.

I'll be curious to see how the PQ stacks up against the UK Disney import.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
Okay. If they are doing all this, can I at least get "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation" on Blu-ray as well? I mean, everything else is coming and it wasn't that bad.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
If a recent UK TV screening is anything to go by, I doubt ST2 is worth releasing on Blu-ray. The film looked terrible, like it was being projected on a waterfall of sand.
The film was made on the cheap, and it shows.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
**
"Extras include BonusView material on both releases, featuring interviews, graphics, special effects information, and more.
'Starship Troopers' will feature all the content from the previous DVD release - which includes deleted scenes, several featurettes, audio commentary, a documentary, and episodes of the TV series "Roughnecks: The Starship Trooper Chronicles".
'Starship Troopers: Marauder' will feature two commentaries and two featurettes."
**
Based on this, ST should include e.g. Audio commentary (not included with the Euro-releases) and "BonusView material", which probably means some new stuff. I´m also getting the sequel, I mean whatta hell.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
I'm definitely interested to read how the AV quality stacks up against the UK release. That being said, if it is comparable, and the price is right, I'll purchase the US release too for the features.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
Hmmm. I was hoping for the PCM track included in the UK release instead of TrueHD. Will still buy it anyway.

Re: Starship Troopers US Blu-ray July 29
It is possible Sony will release it with the same encode as the UK release. They didn't bother to reencode Paprika for the US release.

I'd think the same if the UK disc were a Sony release but it isn't. The UK disc is a Disney encode.
