Yeah, 1:50 replica of the Vengeance would be between ninety and one hundred feet long.

Thanks!

Still no confirmation whether the or not the German BD release has the shifting aspect ratios?

E Unit

That's what I'm wondering as well.


EDIT: Well dammit, someone posted this in the blu-ray.com forum.

No other releases of this film include this.

As such, I was hoping I could import the German edition. But does anyone know if it will work on my US PS3? I never know with region coding and all. I've only ever gotten one German release (Erik the Viking) and it worked.
The press release said that the 3D would be constant 1.78:1 throughout so while the IMAX footage would give us expanded shots the rest would be cropped.

Region coding wise it will be fine as Paramount don't region lock titles they have rights too worldwide.

That would be terribly annoying if the whole film were at 1.78:1 for 3D, as that is the edition I ordered. Then again, I may watch the 3D disc once just to see if the ratios change and probably never again.

I have a bit of a hard time believing that Abrams would allow a transfer that completely ruins the composition. If the image is constant, I wonder if he had any input on it.

What a clusterfuck of a release.

So has Target's price been released yet?

darkdaze73

Star Trek: Into Darkness with Target excl. bonus disc & digibook packaging $19.99
Star Trek: Into Darkness 3D with Target excl. bonus disc & digibook packaging $27.99

Agreed. Paramount have fouled this up about as badly as they could have, I think I'll Redbox it and call it a day. This should've been a no-brainier. Total clusterfuck. Hopefully a double-dip down the road that does it properly, but doubtful.

slop101

The Target exclusive isn't a digibook. It has an exclusive bonus disc and different art-work on the packaging.

RocShemp

Exactly. Could you imagine convincing your SO to keep something that huge in your house?

b2net

So is Target's 2 Blu & 1 DVD?

E Unit

Based on the typical covers Paramount has put on their discs in the past, it looks like that. I'm guessing the exclusive disc is the DVD.

RocShemp

Unless Target includes the exclusive disc on a separate cardboard sleeve. In which case, it might still be a BD.

Movie (Blu-ray)
Movie + Digital (DVD)
Bonus Disc (Blu-ray)

Looks like it based on picture and description:

"Available only at Target, A Limited Edition 3-disc collector’s set that includes a Blu-ray bonus disc with over 70 minutes of special features including 30 minutes of exclusive content, available only at Target. Collectively these features give the fan detailed insight into the development of the movie’s characters and its amazing world of visual effects. Featuring a collectible package art, this set is a must have for any collector."

E Unit

Cool, I guess I'll go that route since the Germany release is now dead to me.

hanshotfirst1138

It would be nice if the third disc of the Target version included all of the stuff that was missing, but it's not looking real likely.

whotony

The list for both target and BB has been posted a few times.

whotony

Dead?

nodeerforamonth

Anyone but me, apparently.

whotony

Uh *cough*

The Valeyard

Someone on Blu-Ray.com got an email from Paramount Germany regarding the aspect ratio of their release:


2.40:1 for all.

hanshotfirst1138

Speak of the devil, Bill Hunt was on a podcast talking about this very topic. I haven't listed to it though, I"m still getting through my 56 remaining episodes of Kermode and Mayo that I've neglected. If I finished them within the month, it'll be a miracle.

RocShemp

Interesting stuff. The only way I'd consider a double dip is if it were the IMAX version of the movie. I honestly don't give a rats ass about the special features.

nodeerforamonth

Excuse me... $29.96. Maybe I'll buy two!
