B-b-but the Sony BD is based on a recently discovered answer print that proves that the visual effects in the movie (like the text of Harker's journal entries) were created with the expressed intent to never be seen.

if this goes along the same line as the Superbit DVD's - I'm expecting Starship Troopers, Desperado, Das Boot, Air Force One

and a plug / request for Black Hawk Down

E Unit

Looks like Season 1 of Games of Thrones is getting the Atmos treatment. Seems unnecessary really.

^ Amazon.co.uk - has it for a lower price, depending on fluctuation of the UK pound - £19.16

E Unit

Are the HBO shows released in the UK region free? I'm not that interested in picking this up unless the price drops to sub $30.

Season 2 as well. GOT in Atmos & Steelbook? The internet must be losing their shit right now

GOT S3 & S4 coming June 7th in steelbook form with Dolby Atmos. S5 was just released with Dolby Atmos, so I wonder if they will do a separate steelbook release as well.

E Unit

I'm guessing Amazon will release the steelbook of Season 5 since I think it's their exclusives (I think since no other retailer sells them). These are my new goto releases for this show. Their sound is like no other, even the regular versions of them, which became a big sale for me.

mattysemo247

The steelbooks aren't exclusive to Amazon. I almost picked up the first two seasons at Target the last time they had that 50% off sale, but didn't really want to double dip.

Yeah, I just saw the first two seasons at Best Buy - for $61.99. Da hell.

Giles

for those who actually liked Hardcore Henry (raises hand) the German bluray (which is region free) has the theatrical Atmos mix (7.1 core)

E Unit

I tried, but couldn't. But let us know how the Atmos sound is on it. I am curious to know.

Giles

I've got a bone to pick with Universal - they don't encode 'Hardcore Henry' with Atmos nor the upcoming 'Kubo and the Two Strings' - they are becoming second worse to Disney Home Video.


yes the movie is flawed, but personally I'd put HH's Atmos in my top five favourite Atmos mixes of the year.

E Unit

Hmm....now that is tempting....I do buy what I can if there's an Atmos mix or the sound in general is really good.

Yeah, not digging Universal and Disney's lack of Atmos (and 4K) support - especially with the Marvel releases. And hell, damn near everything else.

Giles

Pete's Dragon's Atmos soundmix completely came out of left field, and to me was one of the most beautiful mixes of the summer - and, again... being a Disney release won't see the light of day (unless they put it on the UHD).

Spielberg royally got screwed with Disney handling The BFG - his first immersive audio mix AND 3D, and it barely got any notice or released as such ... and the bluray is just another slap in the face which furthur negates the two.
