Well "[Rec]" is almost here in the USA BUT... - Blu-ray Forum

omosh · 07-07-2009, 04:53 AM

I'd rather see the blu-ray of it - I mean of course I'll get the reg DVD on Tuesday but does anybody think they'll release it on Blu soon?

underoath · 07-07-2009, 05:19 AM

seeing as sony is releasing the dvd on tuesday, and no blu-ray

it looks doubtful for the near future

its quite sad as there is a region a release in japan on blu-ray, but it doesn't have english subtitles

DeeEmEcks · 07-07-2009, 05:25 AM

not a chance im buying it on dvd. i want it in hi def, can't do dvd anymore, or hell for the last like 2 years haha. thats really unfortunate about the japanese release!

As one who has seen the Nordic blue-ray edition of REC and the DVD - I would recommend that you wait for the blue-ray. There are many dark scenes where the DVD does not show anything and the blue-ray is great. And the movie is such a treat that you should be patient and get it right the first time you see it!

Blacklac · 07-07-2009, 03:50 PM

I recommend the Spanish Blu-ray, if you can handle 1080i50. It is the only [REC] Blu-ray release that is both region free and has English subtitles. Also, it only has DTS (7xx kbps) audio, but it is a nice track, still.

I'd pick it up on BR. It genuinely scared me, which most films can't manage.

JonBidinger · 07-07-2009, 05:20 PM

It is a travesty that Sony delayed the domestic release of the film for so long and then didn't even release a Blu-ray edition of it. Hopefully it will be released somewhere in the world region free with english subs and video that isn't 1080i50. One can hope.

Rhoq · 07-07-2009, 07:17 PM

Sony probably doesn't want [REC] to compete with and take away Blu-ray sales from Quarantine. If the DVD sells strongly, there is hope for an eventual BD release in the future.

owa · 07-07-2009, 08:05 PM

Just pick up Quarantine, it's better anyway!

j/k although I did really like Quarantine.

Quarantine is better. Jennifer Carpenter was ****ing awesome!
But [REC.] is slightly more realistic.

Jennifer Carpenter looks like a living bobble-head... her head has it's own weather system!!! Or maybe the proportion is off... I mean she does have the body of a 10 year old boy.

She's too skinny for my taste.

The Morning Star · 07-08-2009, 05:38 AM

Quarantine is better and I'm not kidding. It has better pacing and the supporting cast are better actors and characters. The girl in [REC] is more attractive though.

I would agree with the guy you quoted.

That's what I meant by different feel. Quarintine felt like They were acting. While in REC felt like they were reacting.

Both are still good. But REC has that slight edge.

Acquiesce · 07-09-2009, 04:15 PM

WOW I never even heard of this movie until today, I am going to check it out
