Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

so it can be discussed here without needing to go to the other site.

from that linked post.

"Now, on the Sony US disk, things look normal up until Rasczak calls out to fall back. Ace steps in front of him, he looks over the wall, sees the second wave, then it's as if someone has hit the skip back button on your remote: we hear Rasczak calling out to fall back, but while he is speaking this, instead of seeing him waving, we again see the bug that came over the wall getting shot up, falling into the compound, Rasczak and Ace firing, Rasczak running out of ammo, and Ace stepping up in front of him. Then things play out as normal from there."

I'd still recommend going there if only to watch the three video comparisons (DVD, UK BD, and US BD) because I had a hard time understanding what the issue was just reading a text description of the problem. Watching them gives you a very good idea what they're referring to as a 'bad edit' and would let someone judge how 'big a deal' it is to them as well.

Thanks for the link. However, I'll be darn if I can tell any diff.
Is the UK BD the same as the US BD for PQ?
Is the UK the import I was thinking of or was there an Aussie?
Thanks.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

There clearly is a difference, though I doubt that most viewers would even notice it. If it hadn't been pointed out, I probably could have watched it a dozen times and not caught it.

In my SD DVD version, when Rasczak yells "Fall back into the compound," he is in the frame and we then see him jump down. In the BD version, he is off screen when he yells "Fall back into the compound" and instead of seeing Rasczak jump down, we see a shot of him standing next to Ace Levy, both firing their weapons -- which is the exact same shot of the two of them we had just seen before Rasczak went to the wall to assess the situation.

I turned on both commentaries to see if I had missed anyone mentioning it, but nothing.

Are you serious? I caught this right away last night when I was viewing it. I don't understand how anyone could miss it. I was hoping I just had a bad disc but after this mornings reading here and that "other" thread I see that isn't the case.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

I just watched this disc last night and I think these problems are much ado about very little, frankly. The disc looks very good, overall.

Fans of this movie shouldn't feel any compunction about picking this one up.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out; however, now that I am aware of the problem it is going to annoy me when I watch this film. I think SONY should press a corrected run of these discs and allow anyone who purchased the early disc to exchange it for a corrected copy.

It's the internet, very small issues blown way out of proportion, get used to it.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

I just bought this, too...maybe I wouldn't have noticed it before, but it will be pretty obvious now. Hopefully this will be corrected.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Starship Troopers

Went back and too a look and the scene is definitely edited differently. Not the worst blunder and thankfully it's only a few seconds. Must less distracting than the Pirates of the Caribbean cropping error.
