Avalon R3 Korean (1 Viewer)

[Mark_Wilson]

Anyone seen this yet? I'm curious how the it stacks up against the Japanese R2 version. Is the DTS track and extras the same? It looks like the R3 has a few more minutes of extras. Are they sub'd in english?

Thanks

It's doubtful the extras are translated

Can you give me a URL?

Well, I'd say email them and ask if the extras are translated. If so I'll bite

I've got the french Collector's edition 2DVD with the CD soundtrack. But it's only useful if u understand french.
HTH
BTW it loses the DTS track unfortunately, but is less expensive than the Japanese R2

I'm more insterested in the DTS track, if its the same as the Japanese one and how it compares to the R2 DD 5.1.

I'm curious as to how good the movie is
and what the DTS-ES like??

 

[Mark_Wilson]

Its kind of a cross between the matrix (in spirit not action) and 1984. Loved the dark run down look of real life and the clean look of inside the game. I thought they should have used a different color to portray the game instead of the one they did. I was really let down by the end. Maybe I didn't understand it, maybe it was an opening for a sequel. DTS should make a big difference. There are only a couple of action scenes and the rest is very quiet.

I ordered the HK version from DDDHouse, and I think I should have it today. I'll let you all know how good it is quality-wise...

 

[Jeff Kleist]

I think he wanted to know how the DVD was, not how the movie was
The HK version is non-anamorphic, and has a horrible subtitle font. (But it is R0 and $10 )

Jeff,

Is the packaging in error on the HK version? I have it and the packaging says it's Region 3. I no longer have a R1 player to check the region coding on this disc.

Ah crap. I just got the disc.

It's indeed non-anamorphic, and even though the packaging says region 3, it's not.

Also, the letterboxing seems to be pushed up on the screen a bit, giving more room for subs. Thus, those who try to zoom non-anamorphic discs are out of luck.

And yes Jeff (Klest), I realized he wanted to know about the Korean DVD, but the HK version wasn't mentioned. I was going to add my opinion of the disc, but it doesn't seem necessary now...
