Yes, Momentum is VERY hit-or-miss! The sound is amazing on the Lionsgate disc and it's probably cheaper too...

I can understand peoples opinions on Momentum because of the crappy King's Speach release they did not long ago, but isn't it abit early to be judging they're catalogue releases as we've yet to really have many from them?

Downfall (2004) was released by Momentum and it received a great review from this very site.

They also released Equilibrium (2002) and The Football Factory (2004) and according to this site and its users they were also good releases.

I was wondering when this would receive a Blu-ray release over here. I imagine I'll purchase this as I've wanted to see it for quite some time.

Well it was cropped with only Dolby Digital 5.1, so I wouldn't call it a good release.

I imported Requiem for a Dream not to long ago from the US, must say, it's a great Blu and I'm really happy with my purchase! Although I have heard a SteelBook is being released in Canada, so will probably have to get that as well!

I'll bite the bullet and pick it up from here, I love the film, always cheers me up

tom pain · 08-16-2011, 11:41 PM

I imported the American release. Good film.

Definitely worth picking up (in terms of film quality - can't comment on the transfer).

Yep. Girl With The Dragon Tattoo had lossy Dolby 5.1 audio as well. I bet there are more either 1080i, lossy audio or even some films stuffed on 25gb discs instead of 50gb (low bitrate) but I haven't really looked into it.

Haha, yeah it should have gotten the tagline that was given to Slumdog Millionaire. "The Feelgood Film of the Decade"

CristMefisto · 09-06-2011, 12:40 PM

Oh, wow what cover art. Absolutely amazing! The theatrical poster was already one of my favorites, but now i see this...

I already have the US amaray so I won't buy this UK edition, but will double dip the Canadian SteelBook. Hopefully the artwork there will be this one. Fingers crossed.
