"Road to Perditon" Reviews (1 Viewer)

[Brandon Conway]

This was my favorite film of 2002, and I am anxiously awaiting word on A/V quality.

Any online reviews around?

Brandon,

I too am anxiously awaiting early reviews of this film and I also think this was the best movie from last year.

I asked Ron Epstein how soon he thought he might have his review up on this one and he said Dreamworks usually don't send out screeners til last minute :frowning:

Later!

The latest issue of Widescreen Review, which arrived in my mailbox yesterday, had a review of it, but I have know idea if it's available on their website yet or not.

I got the DVD today. It’s the DTS version. So I get home and check the net and find out that a non-DTS version exists with more features! Yikes! The first time I make this mistake. I was so much paying attention not to get the full screen version that I forgot that the DTS version has less features. Now I have learned my lesson! My DVD doesn’t have the HBO documentary. But it has the

-Deleted Scenes
-Audio Commentary with Sam Mendes
-Production Notes
-Photo Gallery

 

[Brandon Conway]

Wait - the DTS version doesn't have the HBO doc? Both dvdempire.com and dvdplanet.com says it does! ARGH!

Oh well :frowning:

 

[Sam Davatchi]

Both dvdempire.com and dvdplanet.com says it does!

It’s a mistake. You know it’s virtually impossible to fit it all. Also it makes no sense to release 2 DVDs with the same features and one to have an extra thing. If they could fit it all, they would release just one version with DTS included.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Looks like I'll be switching to the DD version on my pre-order.

Thanks for the info.

Now where are those reviews?

 

[T r o y]

Here is Widescreen Review's email response back to me as to why they have not posted their review of "Road to Perdition" on their website yet:

>when will the review for 'road to perdition' be up on your website for non-subscribers to see ?

DreamWorks issued an embargo on Web reviews for this title until its
street date, February 25. Have you seen any reviews elsewhere?

BTW, the print issue the review appears in hit newsstands and
subscribers this week, so a review of ROAD TO PERDITION *is*
currently available....

If you're interested, here's the review of the R4-version

 

[Sam E. Torres]

i thought mendes hated deleted scenes? or was that just the horrible sounding ones from american beauty?

 

[Rob T]

Damn. I was hoping to read some R! reviews before I picked it up. I might just hold off till I can read some reviews then.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Sucks that no reviews are allowed until release date, but I won't be waiting around for them before I go pick it up.

Just a week and a half away - can't wait!

 

[Ronald Epstein]

DreamWorks is getting real bad with sending
out early screener product.

The idea, after all, is allow reviewers time to
look over the material and post a review prior to
the release date.

If everyone else has the disc in their hands
the same day reviewers get their copy, then what
is the point of writing a review?

As of yesterday, I am still being informed that
DreamWorks doesn't have their copies in yet to
ship out to us.

Might have to skip this review altogether.

 

[Robert Crawford]

What's sad is that I know of at least one retailer that has received some of their Road to Perdition dvds.

So I get home and check the net and find out that a non-DTS version exists with more features!

Wow. When did this happen? I thought the two discs were supposed to be exactly the same (except for soundtracks).

 

[Brandon Conway]

^ That's what I thought, but apperently that was bad info. It looks as though the HBO doc is NOT on the DTS disc.

 

[Adam_WM]

Sam, was your DVD a R1 DVD?

 

[Tom Ryan]

Anybody else think Dreamwork screwed the pooch on this release by not making it two discs? With a two disc set they could've included both DD and DTS tracks on the same disc, as well as a whole disc of extra features. This WAS a $100+ million grossing film, and I think a 2-disc release would've sold just as well if not better than all these 1-disc versions.

 

[Yumbo]

I'll check mine on Tuesday (both versions).

 

[Lacanfora]

The DTS version does have the Dolby Digital soundtrack, but as stated earlier does not have the HBO making of.
