re: Heat: re-release slated for 5/9/17
It sounds like it based on the review I linked to a couple posts up
The release is sourced from a new 4K remaster of Heat which was supervised by director Mann. I did some extensive comparisons between the original U.S. release from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and this new release and can confirm that there are indeed some very obvious discrepancies between the two. If you have a very large screen or a projector you will immediately notice improvements in terms of depth and fluidity.
I am little surprised that this new Director's Definitive Edition of Heat did not get a 4K Blu-ray release. I think that the new 4K master is very good and the Blu-ray release represents a very strong upgrade in quality, but I am also convinced that a 4K Blu-ray release would have made the difference even more obvious because various color nuances would be a lot more prominent in 4K.

I'm wondering when they'll update the digital version on Vudu. I converted my blu a long time ago, but the digital looks like shit.

I already have one of the previous BDs, so I don't have an urge to buy this.
If it was UHD... I'd buy it day one.

That's all I'm waiting for now. And with Atmos. This needs Atmos. Sucks they didn't upgrade the sound on the blu or I'd probably pick the blu up now.

It seems like every time I watch this movie the audio sucks. It always seems like the effects are fine but the dialogue is drowned out and hard to hear.

The amazon.com site is showing this in bilingual packaging. I usually only see that on .ca
Is everyone else seeing this too?
