Luckily I caught this in IMAX 3D during it's theatrical run.
This thread almost makes me want to sell my current 60" Sharp Aquos LCD and buy a 3D TV. Almost, but not quite.:D
This is interesting. As someone with a Sharp 60" LCD display without 3D I wouldn't mind picking this up for 3D movie viewing. What concerns me is the 720p resolution makes it sort of limited with non-3D sources.
This show reminds me so much of X-Men/Mutant-X.
Dr. Rosen's Group= X-men
Red Hand (is that it?)= Brotherhood of Mutants
Dr. Rosen= Charles Xavier
Mute Girl= Magneto
I like the show just fine, just that it's nothing new. I like Eureka better, too bad SyFy cancelled it.:(
I picked it up for $66 shipped from Borders.com last month when they were offering 50% off coupons. Since I knew the extras were just rehashed from the DVD set I sold my DVD edition for $35, so all in all it worked out well. Yes, I would have liked it to be a bit cheaper, but since I didn't pick...
While I don't have a professional quality display (living situation and expenses prohibit it), as a long-time user of HTF I've always appreciated the input of those "in the know" like Mr. Harris and Mr. Hunt. If they say the quality of this production is OK that's good enough for me. I really...
I've seen most of them on broadcast TV while growing up and I'm only 41, so it's been running in syndication forever. As soon as the price of the sets get down to a reasonable price, say $30-$40 I'll probably pick them up.
HDNet runs plenty of stuff that hasn't made it to Blu. They are also running the excellent Holes, which might not be considered "classic" but is another great "family" movie. They are also running The Russians are Coming and Tron this month too.
HDNet Movies has been running this month what I can only assume is the transfer they're going to use of Chitty for Blu-Ray and it looks mighty good to me.
I also just picked this one up on BD for $20 and hope I won't need to repurchase it (I haven't even opened my copy yet).
I just want to note that you should not go by Amazon's technical specs. They are often (and most likely) wrong.
Hmm. I thought as much. I'll wait for the price to come down a bit before I pick this one up. For the first time I'm actually more interested in the extra (The Spectre) than I am in the main movie.
Also, Warner- when are you going to use lossless audio?!?!
That's not to say Liam Neeson is bad, he is, by far, one of the better VO performers on the cast. He was also part of the English cast on Studio Ghibli's previous work (which has of yet received a western release)- Tales from Earthsea, so at least he had some familiarity with the subject. But he...
Doesn't Anchor Bay still hold the distribution rights for this in North America? If so I hope they do a better job on this than the rest of the shit they've been putting out lately.
What I particularly dislike about Disney's choice for English voice talent is picking them because they are a "name", not necessarily because they are good. If they really had any interest in picking English talent who were familiar with the industry they could have done much better than some of...
I'm fairly certain when I was was watching the Japanese version this afternoon I had regular subtitles. There were absolutely no SDH events like describing noises and such. I also thought the DD5.1 640k track was quite good, one of the best ones I've heard. The PQ is stellar and it's well worth...
Hmmm. What I did find interesting was that Fate said Chloe was going to follow his path. What does that mean? Will she die young? Will she become the next Dr. Fate? Interesting...
Well that would certainly be novel. If they had the actual Ripley record commentary tracks I might listen to them, otherwise I'm not interested. Just give me the movies.
Yes, I have seen a new movie in 3D and I still get headaches from the ones that require you to wear the polarized glasses (especially the IMAX 3D showings). After a 2hr+ movie in 3D I have a raging headache.
Well, if we need HDMI 1.4 it goes without saying we are going to need new displays and players. I wish they would just forget about the 3D stuff- it just confuses an even confused consumer HD market even more.
