Re: Armageddon May 4th!

i cant wait to get this and the preorder price of 20.00 is not to shabby, thinking it will get down to about 15 sometime between now and release day.

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

Evidently the master print of this was lost in a fire, I wonder how they handled this transfer? Did they go back and make a new master print from the neg or is it some old HD master from 2000? It would be nice if it were the directors cut as well as porting over the criterion extras! (Hey, they did it for the Rock)

I just want to know how it worked.

I thought this movie was so crappy on VHS, but then when I saw it on a wide screen DVD it became a real guilty pleasure for me. The audio was one of the first with a real aggressive surround track and it makes the movie.

Both this and Tombstone are mine for sure however with my birthday and father's day coming in June I may have to wait

Count me in the group that owned both this and Tombstone on VHS and then DVD. Hopefully the prices for these blues will drop closer to release day.

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

The Digital Bits is reporting that Armageddon does not contain any of the Criterion extras.

They can secure most of the extras for The Rock BD, but not Armageddon? I could care less about the additional scene implemented into the Director's Cut, but this just feels more lazy than anything else.

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

^No big deal, I saw them once and that's enough for me. Just having an anamorphic edition is big news let alone HD

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

I don't love the film but it's fun "leaving the brain at the door" kind of flick.

I believe the Rock Blu-Ray actually has every single one of the CC extras. Which makes this news doubly disappointing.

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

New release date April 27th!

Yeah it would be nice to have the bonus features, but just having the movie on blu is good enough for me!

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

Bummer about the extras. Guess I'll just need to hold onto the Criterion disc.

Shit, you're right. Let me rephrase myself.

The Rock BD has all the extras from The Rock Criterion DVD but both the BD and DVD lack some of the extras from the Criterion LD (such as the Michael Bay directed shorts/commercials).

Boom.

Re: Armageddon May 4th!

I've anticipated this release for so long just because there was never an anamorphic release on DVD ... and I don't even like the movie that much.

Actually, The Rock Blu-ray Disc is missing the Criteiron DVD's "Stills Archive" which has over 200 production stills, storyboards, and production design drawings.

Didnt the Criterion dvd have some extra scenes cut into the movie, in addition to the other extras?
