Hard to believe we once released steels like 10.000 BC, The Mist, Death Race or 1408

All thats left are lentis and even these get worse and worse with poor finishs (streaky matte) and not working magnets.

Its a shame

 

[StifflersDad]

For F*cks sake . I didn't think they could make the play.com design any worse but I was wrong! !!!!

Spoiler

sorry

 

[ricster]

Money saved. Matte finish with no internal artwork????? and the front does nothing to make up for the other two failures.

Kill it ......with fire!

Who would have thought the original steel could get any worse.

I hate this boring artwork.

Only the title, really ?

My wish is the original poster artwork:

This could be a very nice lack finish.

Let`s hope for some inside artwork

As tempting as this is, I'm still waiting for Criterion to release this on Blu.

DE - The Rock

Matte Varnish finish with Spot Gloss detailing and metallic

Stunning. The rear artwork and front title shines brilliantly against the varnished black finish.

This is the version to own. Amazing finish on this one. Not quite as good as The Rock but its really really good. I've compared the UK version to it, UK has the streaky matte finish, but has the premium matte varnish as found on the blufans godfather.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.

Below are shots to help show the finishing on the steel.

Is there a HD lossless audio track on this disc? I have been hunting for an edition of The Rock blu-ray disc with HD DTS-MA or TrueHD audio track but no success so far.

All versions of this movie have a 5.1 (4.6mbps) LPCM audio track.

I always thought that there would be little if no difference between this and a DTS-HD or True HD track anyway??

Correct. LPCM audio is lossless audio on par with DTSHD and True HD.

Thanks for the replies guys - I have completely missed the PCM track on this edition. Somehow it defaulted to DD 5.1.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Somehow it defaulted to DD 5.1.

I hate when that happens!
