Are the French subtitles defeatable on this release? I assume so since you did not mention anything about it Gary.

I love that these are flippers since it means fewer discs. A must buy. All in all a really nice looking package.

We cannot judge these screenshots without without knowing more about the equipment they were produced with. The colour and greyscale of the display could be completely off.

A little research might allow you to understand why people enjoy Robert's reviews/opinions A little respect would also be in order or we might find ourselves with very few industry insiders. Besides, Chad, your comment added what to this thread??

Have you guys tried Amazon.com? I use it for most of my HD purchases. It is way cheaper and they are more consistent then B&M stores here. Land of the Dead cost me $29 total at Amazon versus $45 at HMV. You have to pay shipping but they is offset by the 10% off promo and there are not duties or...

I thought Universal lost a lot of money supporting Sony's UMD format and did not want to join another Sony venture.

It equals better in this case if it turns out both cuts are included : )

Early indications pointed to the first batch of Universal HD titles using 1.5 mbps DD+ (according to Stacy Spears at AVS). I don't see how Dolby Digital at 640kbps can sound identical to DD+ at 1.5mbps. Implementation at the studio appears to be the key here. A discussion and comparison of...

I think we cleared the issue up. Pat went back to his review to clear up the confusion and it is confusing. Only after anticipating these new audio advances for years do I understand the finer points. Now we all just need to go to Best Buy and ask them the difference between DD and DD+, lol

"The Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack is defaulting to DTS on my receiver, just like the Warner discs. This seems to be an encoding issue with these early discs and it is supposed to be corrected in upcoming releases." What type of connection are you using from your A1 to your receiver? If you...

I really enjoyed this film. Seeing it in Imax 3D was pretty cool and kinda makes you want to see more 3D films, which I never thought I would say. I think they got the casting right on. I thought Routh was a little shaky with Kent in the beginning but found his legs. I agree with the post above...

My thinking has been very similar to yours Chad. I feared going for HD DVD because of a lack of studio support. I ended up buying a player because I had been waiting way too long for pre-recorded material and I had the money. The worst thing that can happen is HD DVD fails and I have a few...

I hope it is either Fox or Disney and not a smaller studio like New Line (of course owned by WB...not that New Line would be bad). I just think adding Fox or Disney would really help this format, which so far has been good to me. From what I have read it seems more likely to be Disney than Fox...

I will be purchasing this DVD this week for sure. thanks for the review. One area I think this or any future review of a drama would benefit from is the erasure of the "action" section. It seems odd to, in some way rate or judge, a film based on the amount of action it has in it. I am not sure I...

I have question that is off topic for this thread but it popped into my head the other day as I watched The Graduate and since there is such great audio talk here I figure someone can correct my knowledge gap. If I am watching a film that has a stereo soundtrack, something like Dolby 2.O, as...
