Received mine from Xtra-vision this morning with the FREE Act Of Valour DVD....

I have to say well packaged in a big Amazon style cardboard package and nicely and tightly wrapped bubblewrap!!

No chance of the steelbook being damaged!....Nice one Xtra-vision...

Will be watching this tonight after the Cup Final!

Watch out for any nasty production scratches under the wrap, front > left side :-(

Managed to get one from my local HMV this morning before the local scalper got there! No repeat of Fury and Nightcrawler this time.

Both my copies arrived today with scratches on front bottom left.
Seems HMV have got a batch of production damaged copies.
Got to arrange return/replacement now. At least they came in bubble wrap and a decent box this time.
Such is life. [emoji106]

So sad when it arrives like that I've already fired off an enquiry for refund / replacement...

Seems zero on the front and matte with a big spot gloss on the back...

Pondered picking this up today but having seen the movie I can't say I was that impressed with it,just a bit too gung-ho for my liking.

 

[Parslow1177]

Just picked mine up and I really like the look of it. Only downside is the bloody blue disc art

 

[BluSteel2012]

Watched this on Friday night.

Audio details on the back of the J-card state Dolby Atmos for English, German and French.

However, when I went into audio settings (on my remote now, NOT the movie menu-that doesn't display anything only the language) it display as Dolby Digital True HD 7.1 for English and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 for German and French.

On my Expendables 3 disc it comes up as Dolby Atmos no problem in my remote display.

So, does this really have Dolby Atmos? Or is my player just displaying incorrectly??

is your kit capable of playing dolby atmos and do you have ceiling speakers ?

 

[BluSteel2012]

That shouldn't matter though, should it?

It shows up correctly on one disc (Expendables 3) but not this one.

Also, why is there a different description for the German and French (Dolby Digital Plus) to the English (True HD) when all 3 are supposed to be Atmos?

Well if your kit isn't capable of decoding Atmos and not many amps/Receivers are then I cant understand how it recognises it on your remote unless its a harmony remote.It has me confused somewhat ! I think transformers 4 is also a dolby atmos ,do you have that ?
