Good to hear!. I was very happy with the job they did on the Deep, and all the screencaps I've seen seem to indicate they approached this one the same wayOriginally Posted by Bradley-E
I got this and watched it today. Like The Deep from a couple weeks ago, Midnight Express brought back great memories of a decade of fantastic filmmaking. Midnight Express holds up great after 30 year. I enjoyed watching it again and having it amongst my Blu ray library. They did a fine job on the disc.
I am glad that Sony did not tamper with the AQ and PQ and kept it as it should be.
Good to hear.Originally Posted by Ronald Epstein
From my past conversations with their asset Manager, I
get the feeling that the people over at Sony realize the
importance of preserving the integrity of their masters when
it comes to DVD and Blu-ray transfers. This is one studio
you do not have to worry about DNR issues.
Even though some titles like Ghostbusters get complaints, I'm really glad Sony does their best efforts for movies on Blu-ray.Originally Posted by Ronald Epstein

A standard BD case is 5 3/8" by 6 3/4" . The Sony case for Midnight Express BD is 5 5/8" by 7".Originally Posted by felipenor
From the photo the case looks rather square compared to other blu-ray cases. Is is smaller or is it wider than other cases? I can't really tell from the pic. I'm just afraid that it'll look strange on my shelf.
Actually, I have some Warner digibooks. Is this the same size of a Warner digibook?Originally Posted by CraigF
It is a Digibook. Yes it will stick out compared to regular BD cases. So don't put it on your shelf if how your shelf looks is more important than how the film looks. Or put all your digibooks together so the shelf looks right, starting with this, presumably your first one. There are a lot of good movies in Digibooks. I might go so far as to say that if it's in a Digibook, you can be guaranteed you're getting a good movie. Yeah, I'll say that.
Sony doesn't seem to have given their version of the package a name. In the press releases it's just called a booklet.Originally Posted by CraigF
I am not sure if digibook is a Warner's trademark or something, or if it's really a package "type", it's just what we/I call them...
Well, I find digibooks way more beautiful than regular cases, so for me it's digibooks all the way.Originally Posted by Robin_B
I notice that WB are re-releasing some of their digibook releases in normal cases lately Maybe Sony will do the same thing
Yes, at least three that I know of: Dr. Strangelove, Easy Rider, and Silverado.Originally Posted by felipenor
Has Sony released any other films in gigibook aside from Midnight Express and A River runs through it?
