And it's arrived!!!!

 

[denizen]

Woohoo! We still need to hear feedback on the different versions so be sure to share!

 

[cooey]

Had a quick flick through the DC and IMO it looks great! Nice and grainy (which I like), but I'm very very impressed!

Also had a quick look at the US TV cut, even though it's fullscreen and DVD quality again it looked great! Gonna have to give the DC cut a watch first and then the TV cut to see what is different

 

[denizen]

Awesome stuff. Mine should be coming in the next week or so. Can't wait!

 

[cooey]

It really does seem to be the definitive version for all fans

I went to media markt yesterday and they only had one copy left, but unfortunately no T-Shirt.

Best wishes,

Pretty box with a gorgeus plate, pretty digipak...
And I thought I bought a lot of coasters (because I need english subtitles) but... Koch made my day: english subtitles included for three versions on blu-rays.

I finally got mine....and while the pq is better than my previous blu-ray it's only dolby digital 2.0 (lossy) on all versions......whyyy? Hoped this really would be the "ultimate edition".

 

[nico129]

According to blu-ray.com, there are french subs ? Is it correct ?

Mustn't have looked hard enough, the Director's Cut definitely has an English DTS-HD-MA 5.1 track.

No. Only the French release has French subs.

No. Only the French release has French subs.

Ok thanks but I think there are english subs ?

 

[sky_captain]

Sorry, but only the German release has English subs.

Thanks. It was well hidden. It doesn't show on the packaging, and you can't select it from the menu. I didn't think to cycle through the audio tracks. . Maybe it really is the ultimate edition.....I think I've bought this title six times on dvd and three times on blu-ray.

FYI Army of Darkness was actually mixed in Stereo so technically what your getting is the original audio as intended

but yeah, they could of added the 5.1 remix from the DVD (The HK DVD being the best 5.1 mix out there for it)

With the help of sky_captain I was able to find a dts-MA 5.1 on the director's cut.

I know they're lossy, but I prefer the 2.0 mixes. With the exception of the US theatrical cut, which has a proper 5.1 mix, done by Universal, the other cuts have 'faux' 5.1 remixes, (taken the stereo mix and split across the 5.1 channels), and sound awfully hollow, IMO.

 

[cooey]

This is defiantly the definitive version to own IMO

 

[LoStAlIvE]

So which DC is the best? The one on Blu- ray or thr DVD one?

 

[cooey]

BD for me

 

[denizen]

I am STILL waiting for this beauty. Should have it tomorrow.
