I saw the film, you have nothing to worry about, the trailers are as bad as the movie is good. I think it's really out there on Fury Road level of greatness. It's even more hard hitting with a solid R.

So, there is still no re-release with the pilot complete? The old Pal VHS had extra scenes at the beginning that were cut once this landed on DVD.

Man, there are 30 to 50 different deliverables. Tashi Trieu goes about it on his website. They are all adjusted differently. With T2 in 4K, the framing is different between the UHD and the Blu-ray. So there's bound to be problems. That's why some mixes are corrected, other not, within the same...

That was the december DCP I guess. As you probably noticed, not one deliverable on these films is 100% matching. You have differences in framing, mixes etc.

Well to complicate matters even more, the DCP of The Abyss SE is the same scan but without Park Road destructive pass. Mostly obvious in VFX shots, where different footage blended seamlessly around objects. It's true though the original scan from 10 years ago, has a different color timer and...

IMAX cameras for underwater shooting. Those would have gone straight to the bottom!

Look guys, what Cameron did on all these films, is a remix. He remixed the PQ. (And also the AQ, but let not go into that because it's a vacuum). Like any remix, people are free to embrace it, or dismiss it. Debating the quality of the remix, though, is I think good, just stay civil and it...

Watch closer. (I think True Lies is watchable though, from a distance, it's nice to see it again completely clean). The one, I can't watch for more than a few minutes is ALIENS. Ripley/Sig had when she shot this film an iron metal grey filling in her lower, left teeth, and the A.I. makes it...

It all boils down to: do you enjoy Tia Carrere growing face fungus on one shot, that disappears in the next shot, then grows in an out of her face in the following shot, or not?

The original poster specifically said he saw a 70mm version of ALIENS "director's cut" ie SE, which does not exist.

Yes that was my point. You wrote ALIENS instead of The Abyss in the original post. There was no 70mm release (or any cinema release) of ALIENS SE.

Cameron was never asked anything. He used that ruse to get Sigourney's deal made. He never planned to do the film without Ripley.

Hi, sorry to ask but, the Special Edition of ALIENS (there is no director's cut as every cut of ALIENS is a director's cut), was never released in theaters. You must be confusing with The Abyss?

There's no conundrum. You should keep all your collection, as often, old versions have an edge over re-release, like untouched audio mixes, or bonuses etc.

I never said it was yours, or mine. But the audience.

Sure. But we can always go back to an earlier home-video release. Or a RAH restoration when it exists ;)

If I may interject, it's not their films. Once a film goes in wide distribution, it becomes the audience film. Even JC pointed it many times. We, the audience, are the persons that made these people billionaires. So they should care about how the films are preserved, and about us, and preserving...

Yes I liked the Space 1999 release, also The Persuaders film set is awesome, and the episodes are perfect in wide. BG sadly got a bit compromised in 16/9. I also have old recordings of Space 1999 from the 00's in wide, but they look less good, framing wise, than the Network set. I like the idea...

Cool, I also ordered and received the Lost In Space DVD set, which is all widescreen. I'll only watch one episode at a time every month or so, but I'm enjoying the new exclusive to DVD format which I find less boxy.

Actually it does! Though it's supposed to be released by Warner in the future in UHD. All one will have to do is swap the discs.

The complete rushes to Game Of Death (that previously only existed on low quality ripped from the beta tapes) including about 20mn never seen before alone is worth the set price. Add on top Big Boss extended + way improved audio tracks as reported, that makes this one almost definitive.

Indeed, I can't watch the iTunes stream, the sound is completely botched and the arrow impacts, or fisticuffs, are now almost inaudible. In the theater, they sounded LOUD. They toned down the Home-Video mix and the movie as lost most of it's magnificence.

There's no possible way TNA will ever be remastered. There are too many cooks in the kitchen, all asking for an impossible share price. It won't, ever be in High-Def, unless some kind of low level price is reached between all producing parties, that make doing new scans possible.

Addition, on another note, I gave a shot to the Season 5 extra disc, and the Honor Blackman episodes, though they are in SD, are AVC encoded coming up at 5gb each episode. The video seems free of DNR, and the audio also is full. It looks to me these are the masters ported on Blu without...

It sounds to me the audio on the Imprint discs is superior sounding to the SC other releases (UK, DE, FR). I think they may have used the masters without making adjustment and adding noise reduction or other destroyer items. The deep end and voice tones really are nice to hear here.

Shane was shot for 1.37:1 but released in 1.66:1. There's a great Blu-ray from Eureka I think, in the UK, which has both versions, the 1.66:1 replicating the theatrical aspect ration with some vertical adjustments. It's good to own both for historical purposes (and enjoyement of this classic in...

Shows have been shooting with widescreen protection since the early 60's. That's why all The Persuaders! films now exist in widescreen with minimal top and bottom cropping, and extended sides. Check out the TV shows gone W I D E thread for more on this. Hopefully they ditch the 4/3 format and go...

I see the early region 1 DVD had the movie in full screen as an extra. Can anyone point out if it is open matte? I'm just asking ;)

Yes same. It should look stellar.

That's weird there's no mention of the format. I would fancy a dual presentation (widescreen + open negative)
