Russia's ADMIRAL DVD now available with English subtitles!
Russia's big blockbuster ADMIRAL is now available on Russian PAL DVD! Make sure you buy the DVD version with English subtitles. Just like the initial Russian DVD releases of NIGHT WATCH, there are official non-bootleg DVD versions with English subtitles and official non-bootleg DVD versions without English subtitles. Snag the English-subtitled ones quickly before 20th CENTURY FOX (I think they bought the rights) prevents Russian DVD retailers from selling them!
The DVD's technical specs are:
ANAMORPHIC 16:9 (2.35:1), PAL, Russian DTS/DD 5.1, English subtitles, Extras (making of and music video, non-subtitled)
Here's the trailer for this awesome-looking film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKHYENLThw

toddly, thanks for posting the news. I'm very interested in seeing this one. Please do clarify the tech. specs. after you get the disc, specifically aspect ratio and runtime. IMDb shows a runtime of 124 minutes, however the DVD listing I've seen indicates a runtime of 90 minutes. And I'd like to be sure it is not only anamorphic but also 2.35:1 which I believe is the original aspect ratio.

Great news! I got the DVD today and it's better quality than I expected! I'll do a little dvd review of it after I watch it tonight...
Beautiful 2.35:1 ANAMORPHIC Video (interlaced, not progressive, but still beautiful)!
Excellent booming Russian Dolby Digital 5.1 AND Russian DTS!!!!
Very good English subtitles!!! (I confirmed the English subtitle translation versus Russian audio with my Russian wife who said they were accurate)
Extras such as Making of, Music video!! (non subtitled)
I bought my DVD here: http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=380
Buy now before the American movie companies attack!
Thank you Santa for a great end-of-the-year DVD!

Flixtime, it's okay...I would give it 7 out of 10. The film basically has awesome action scenes, but it's a biopic film with scenes strung together. It's worth seeing, but don't expect much. Although I couldn't tell, my wife thought the acting was awful. Since I dont understand Russian, the acting seemed perfectly fine to me...

I told ya to act fast! I bet Russiandvd.com won't get more now, eventhough they say "backorder". The same thing happened with the first Russian DVD of Night watch w/English subtitles. Were you able to order it?

toddly, "win some, lose some", I missed out...too much time deciding if I wanted to pick up any other Russian war/fantasy films with my order...in hindsight a fairly big blunder on my part considering there was no real need to consolidate shipping since shipping is free. Oh well, it keeps me humble.

Other Russian war/fantasy, you should have bought one of those from the 1970s, like Ludmila and Ruslan...

toddly, Dane, appreciate the reminder regarding Ebay...maybe I'll give russiandvd a chance to re-stock and play it from there.
Most importantly, since the participants in - and I expect readers of - this thread seem to be the folks I run into the most here in the International forum, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year. It has been my good fortune to talk movies with you all throughout the last few years.

Which version has the English subtitles. I would hate to get the wrong one. There appears to be a 1-Disc (DVD5), 1-Disc (DVD9) & 2-Disc DIGIPAK (DVD+CD)
What does the front & rear cover look like?
Thanks,

It's pointless now to figure which is the best version without any confirmation of specs. I can't find my DVD version on Ebay either. It's probably just best to wait til www.russiandvd.com gets more in stock, because I confirmed the exact specs of that version. I wouldn't experiment with any other ones....

I got my copy from RussianDVD today, and I'm watching it now in PAL with English subtitles. DVD 5 according to the cover, which does not mention the Angliskii subtitles.

I don't think it's Superbit - but it does have DD 5.1, DTS and English subs. The cover is exactly like the one shown in the initial post.
