Review Wanted: Vertical Limit (superbit)

I'm thinking about purchasing the Vertical Limit superbit DVD that was just released today. I don't have the non-superbit version and was just curious how the video and audio quality was on this version. (I've already seen the movie so no need to describe plot, etc.)



Thanks for any help you may provide.

I've read on other boards (hometheaterspot.com) where people have seen/viewed this DVD (superbit version) already.

I'll check my local Best Buy tonight.

Both Vertical Limit and the Big Hit are definitely out. I saw them at Tower on 3/19.

Now that we know it's out. Can someone post a review about it? I'd like to know as well.

The video is fantastic! anamorphic 1.85. The DTS track is a killer. Gave my neighbors nightmares I bet!!! Great quality for a mediocre film. It may be a demo DVD for me!!!

I'm sorry that I'm not as enthusiastic about the video transfer.
There's nothing wrong with the initial SE release. Sure the DTS track is really good, but the video really ISN'T THAT IMPROVED.
The 5.1 DD track was very well recorded on the initial release. Sorry, but I'm glad that I rented this one and DID NOT TRADE IN my original DVD. (I did a scene by scene comparison over my HDtv with progressive scan players.)

Now, AIR FORCE ONE and GATTACA are a completely different ball of wax. These Superbits really shine! They're a vast improvement over their non-Superbits counterparts.

Need you Vertical Limit SB opinions

Though i don't think that this is the greatest movie in the world it is entertaining to me. I've seen the Special Edition release and though it was good (and the DD killer) i thought it could have looked better. I am wondering what the opinions are of those on this board what do you think of the quality of the SB release (pic, dts) and would you recommend the quality over the regular release? I thank you for all your responses.

I love it. My friends were stunned watching the SuperBit version on my 16x9 set.

Actually, the SUPERBIT transfer makes some of the worst blue-screen effects look even worse. Look at the opening scene and compare the SE to the SUPERBIT. I'll stick with my SE as on my HDtv the effects look far to fake on VERTICAL LIMIT.
