Enemy at the Gates ? (1 Viewer)

I'm looking at buying this film, should it be the R1 copy or the local R4 copy with DTS? I'm usually a R1 Exclusive person but the inclusion of DTS is enticing.

 

[Julian Lalor]

The R2 is better. It has the same DTS track, which is better than the DD track, an audio commentary and three quite in depth documentaries.

 

[Matt-Brooks]

I'm looking at selling my r1 and getting the R4 because of the DTS track.

 

[Brett C]

I'd advise getting the r2 version as well as its DTS track is full bitrate and the r4 is at 754...

R2 France is a two-disc set.

"I'd advise getting the r2 version as well as its DTS track is full bitrate and the r4 is at 754..."
...ahh... which "r2 version" ?
...know that the two-disc French release does not have a "full bitrate" dts soundtrack, as will become immediately obvious when you click here...
. . . . . .

 

[Roland Wandinger]

You should definitely get the french R2 release.

 

[Nick Sievers]

Roland,
Would you be able to recommend some French R2 sites I could look into ordering from?

 

[Roland Wandinger]

Sure:

The English r2 version is the one with the full-bitrate dts track.

 

[Brett C]

As Dean mentioned the UK disc is the one with the Fullbitrate DTS track and the disc also features an audio commentary...

 

[rutger_s]

The UK disc is edited for content.

The French R2 release...

Disc One: Director's Cut
- 16:9 Widescreen
- dts English surround
- dts French surround
- Dolby Digital English 5.1 surround
- Dolby Digital French 5.1 surround
- Audio Commentary

The second DVD is a supplemental disc with the documentary from the R1 release, interview featurette from the R1 release, multi-angle interactive featurette, deleted scenes, documentary on actual battle of Stalingrad, storyboards, and theatrical trailers.

 

[Brett C]

Correction the UK disc isn't edited at all! I own both the UK r2 disc and The r1 and can confirm that they are identical...

 

[Julian Lalor]

Unless the distributor cut the movie before lodging it for classification, it has not been cut. The BBFC's website confirms this. Of course, it does have the 4% PAL speed up, which often leads people to believe something has gone missing.

 

[Malcolm Cleugh]

Also the UK R2 from Pathe allows you a form of branching to watch the deleted scenes in situ as you watch the film.

The only thing I did notice as I also had R1 from Paramount is that it seems to have one more deleted scene, cant remember which one.

 

[Mark_Wilson]

Two full rate DTS tracks and two other 5.1 tracks? Hows the PQ?

 

[Julian Lalor]

The UK DVD has one DTS and one DD 5.1 track; the picture quality is better than the R1 IMO. The French DVD has half bitrate tracks. I have the French Sleepy Hollow which has 2 DTS and 2 DD tracks, and it too looks better than the R1 version.

Yes it does...
