No in full screen to minimize cropping. That is what I'm getting at. In order to put the IMAX sequences in 2.39:1 they had to crop the footage (more than what they should). The shot loses the nostalgic effect.

Bought this on release day back in April, finally got around to watching it, wish I would have watched it sooner lol, Great film. unbeleivable action sequences. the Burj Khalifa Tower scene was heart pounding and

I'm afraid you're a little late.

MikeCL · 08-23-2012, 12:01 AM

yeah a little late I'm glad I came to this site and I saw it up at the top and I saw this thread that was a great deal! it was a blind buy for me

MrHT · 09-22-2012, 02:14 AM

Ordered this for $9.99 at Amazon. What a deal!

ptboch521 · 09-22-2012, 02:16 AM

I'll pre-order this as soon as I'm able to.

Got the Best Buy Special Edition price-matched this week to the in-store ad price. they don't have any of the other versions.

Mark Malmstrøm · 12-20-2012, 08:03 PM

did the reviwer had a different copy?

Just saw it - it was the nordic BD

the transfer - Mild Edge enhancement - actually a bit Distracting

Banding - specially during the sandstorm

colors - a bit to the pinky sid

?????????????????????????????????

Sky_Captain · 12-20-2012, 08:57 PM

I don't think it's anywhere near a 5.0 for PQ, it's obviously been filtered, but god forbid you raise that issue around here...

US reviewers were sent the 3-disc Best Buy set. That one actually has a different transfer from the 2-disc set that everyone else got. How many discs does your edition have?

But yeah, like Sky_Captain noted, this isn't a flawless transfer. (It's pretty good, though.)

rickah88 · 12-20-2012, 10:05 PM

There's no such thing as a flawless transfer.

Oh sure, many candidates will come close, but nothing is life is flawless.

Pieter V · 02-08-2013, 09:07 AM

Still waiting on a release with the IMAX shots.

blu-ray_girl_fan · 02-27-2013, 05:13 AM

Best Buy has a new listing for this movie with a street date of 03/12/2013 and price of $12.99.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mission%...&skuId=8684172

My guess is a single disc edition that drops the DVD.

mtrouth · 03-31-2013, 11:38 PM

Has anyone compared the best buy exclusive disc to the 2 disc version? I own the 2 disc version and was disappointed with the video quality at times - Jeremy Renner's face looks like an example of how to apply egregious edge enhancement throughout the second half of the film. From what I've read, the best buy exclusive didn't have these issues.

Site reviewer Martin Liebman has reviewed both versions. His PQ comments don't mention this as an issue.

This is the GI Joe movie cash version. It includes the DVD.
