Slick lookin' slip on this :thumbsup:

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

My copy of The Final Destination has a DVD/DC disc - both on one disc - bought in Canada...and the case for Wild Things indicates it should have this configuration as well.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

I was hoping this would have a fantastic HD transfer, but it's merely good...

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

Hard to believe that's the quality we're getting this far into the format.....especially considering this movie is brand new.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

Isn't it most likely related to the original film elements tho? I didn't read anything about edge enhancement or compression issues.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

No, the image doesn't have problems like those, it's just kinda drab - it was a little like that in the theater, but yet more vivid than the blu-ray is.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

I recently saw the film theatrically and to my eye it looked nowhere as drab as those DVDBeaver screencaps.

For example, if you look that screenshot where Max is standing on the table, it's quite obvious there's a lot of digital chromatic noise present, and also what looks like very coarse color subsampling. It's especially noticeable on the kitchen cabinets. There's definitely something wrong with the Blu-Ray transfer that's not the fault of the filming conditions or the "intended look" of the film.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

No, there's something wrong with DVDBeaver's screen cap process. This has been discussed at length on AVSForum in many different threads about many different DVDBeaver reviews. Artifacts like that are not present on the disc.

As for the complaints about being "drab," check your calibration. This disc looks excellent.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

That's good to hear! Hopefully the people at DVDBeaver have been informed of the issue.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

Is anyone else missing the Digital Copy code with their Blu-ray set?

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

Anyone manage to make it through the short film? I lasted about three minutes...

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

After this being sold out everywhere for the past few days, I finally found a copy at Hastings for $22.99 + a free copy of the book.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

^Yeah, I can't find it anywhere... I wonder if sales are that good, or just small shipments... Is the slipcover art different from cover art?

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

The Best Buy where I live was sold out as well, but Target had plenty. No slipcover, but there's a sticker that says it has the DVD and digital copy.

For some reason, Target had all of their Blu-ray copies in security cases, but not the DVDs. no other Blu-rays that I saw were in security cases.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

Id wager small shipment based on stores in my area. When it came out, most stores here only had a short stack available on the shelves

Re: Where The Wild Things Are - 3/2/10
 

I suffered through the whole thing, only because I had to for my review. It's really, really terrible.
