I've quit steelbook collecting but this is one of my favourite films, so a must have purchase. While waiting for my A1 to arrive I went and bought the new 4K remaster. Superb transfer and it should have been included in this release.

Is that Region A ??? Is the picture audio significantly better or just a little bit ??? I have the amaray version of this film and I think it's fine.

The 4K remaster is region A locked.

Region A as per Sigill reply.

I don't have an ATMOS decoder so can't comment on the audio. I only have dual speakers so the audio doesn't sound any different to the other versions I have. PQ is more detailed and less saturated than the Gaumont version, which I think is the previous best version of the film. To me I think the PQ is the best yet.

There's a few reviews online with the Atmos track and I definitely agree.

Would like to install Atmos but just can't see how to rearrange the living room to place the extra speakers

I got the 4k remastered disc from Best Buy for $7.50. If I decide to open my full slip type 1 when it comes, I'll swap out the discs.

Did the same thing.Got to have the latest version.

The new 4K remastered disc is a huge upgrade over the older version IMO interns of AV quality and extra bonus material.

Doesn't make any sense at all that Kimchi didn't go for that disc for this release

Re packaging old discs to sell

Did it all the time when I worked in Cinram back in the days.

Perhaps they couldn't come to an agreement on license pricing, or even the Region block was a deal-breaker, dunno, just guessing

The 4K remastered disc is no doubt better than the previous editions but II eas a bit annoyed by the edge halos and a bit of grain scrubbing.

Hi everyone, so we know this isn't the new 4K release from the U.S but is it the remaster (second release) or the first release that everyone was disappointed with.

It will highly likely be the remastered second release.

The first release was only a 25gb disc, from what I have seen, the rest have been 50gb, including this release, so this will be the second release.
