I gave a "Likes" to Mr. Epstein, himself, for keeping us current.
And I give a "Likes" towards the encouraging news that another classic has arrived in 4K.
But make no mistakes here, I can not support and do not like the $75.00 price tag; which, IMHO, may actually hurt and hinder the 4K movement. Yes, its a multiple version boxed-set. But still, it might behoove us all were this 4K title made available as a single version disc, as well.

 

[Lord Dalek]

If the extras are literally just on a second blu-ray disc they might as well just sell the three cuts (only of one which is really necessary and it ain't the theatrical) on their own. Either way I'm expecting a bazillion complaints about this release not looking "pristine". Its inevitable.

They would have to include some new and amazing bonus items for me to double-dip on this one.

 

[PMF]

Double-Dipping on a Native 4K disc is okay with me.
After all, isn't the availability of Native 4K the very thing we've all been hankering for, to begin with?

Hmm, pre order link seems to be dead as of now

I will gladly pay that price. If Sony has a reverse decision and decide to release a single disc only(one version) they lose a sale.

Such a classic movie. I recall the first time I watched it on the ABC Sunday Night Movie out in our Family room sitting on the floor in front of our CRT cabinet TV. I was nine years old at the time. On any rate, with Sony (and perhaps Spielberg?) involved I suspect an outstanding 4K transfer. Looking forward to this. I never imagined at that time one day I will be watching this at 124" on a front projector at home.

Same here.

I'm for the options of both a single disc, along with the triple versions, as well; as this particular title has set its precedence with all 3 versions being made available from times before. Be certain, I am not suggesting that this release should deny those who want the whole kit and caboodle.

 

[Peter Neski]

Maybe this time they will give us the rest of the still files which they cut for BR

 

[Johnny Angell]

It's looking like they want $50 for a booklet. This's particular set is a non-starter.

I'm surprised it doesn't come packaged in a plastic Devil's Tower replica.





Who am I kidding, I'd probably want that version if it did.

Only if it is made out of mashed potatoes instead of plastic.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

It really should come with mashed potatoes. And maybe a copy of Pinocchio too

 

[Lord Dalek]

Doesn't say if all three cuts got the 4k pass or not. Not like I care. The version I watch most is the 1998 DC so no biggie.
