No real reason to buy this release if you have the Masters of Cinema Region B release. The DVDBeaver screenshots seem reflective of what I see on the Region A, and on that basis the two are very close. Region A may be slightly darker and more saturated.

Sharky's Machine, Hooper, and Silent Running all look great and are more than worth the purchase. Great extras on Silent Running, too.

Hooper is still one hell of a lot of fun! Hooper and Sharky's Machine both look and sound very good on blu-ray. Way better than I expected. If you have any interest in them at all, you can't go wrong for $9 each.

Unless you just don't care much for the film, I'd say you're missing out. Big improvements in detail and gradient throughout, even given the limitations of the source. Worth the upgrade if you like this movie.

Me too! This is gonna be a blast.

It's a worthwhile question though: Did anyone on this thread want Frozen 3D, and not buy it? I have heard people say that they were refusing to buy it because they didn't like the UK rating symbols on the packaging.

All the more reason to be region-free. That said, Disney's overseas 3D releases tend to not be region locked. It looks like the UK, Australia, and India will get 3D releases of Big Hero 6.

The picture is from a Reddit post, and several of the following comments essentially said 'I am / was a projectionist, and we ignore those.' So that would explain the experience in most modern theaters. Also, 7.0 is apparently louder than most theaters tend to have their volume. As a projector...

Hmm, if only we had these for every film:

Caleb, no offense, but it does not sound like that at all. That is the smoke-blowingest, most non-commital piece of corporate speak I've seen this week, and everyone else is too nice to say it. Nothing against you, just recognize a blowoff response when you see it. I do still have some hope that...

If you give the picture a hard look, can you notice any noise or blocking within the solid areas of color (gray, white, black)? Do you see any noise or 'sparkling' around the edges of objects? That's my best verbal description of what compression artifacts look like, which is what people are...

Just curious, have any of you seen the blu ray yet?

I'm climbing up the tech tier at Epson, until I heard "if THIS guy doesn't know, then no one does!" Hope to update tomorrow.

I'll import Frozen, if the 3D release is a UK exclusive. Strange move by Disney.

I put in a call to Epson, and went through the first 2 levels of tech support, who have no idea. I've been referred to level 3, aka 'the projects team', which sounds encouraging. I'll report back if I hear from them.
