Kapitän Nemo (Captain Nemo and the Underwater City) - OneGate Media

I start this thread to warn everybody who is looking for a Blu-ray release of this classic MGM movie.

Avoid this German release of MGMs CAPTAIN NEMO AND THE UNDERWATER CITY at all costs! It is an atrocious upscale of an SD master, additionally scrubbed with DNR and boosted colors. Absolutely awful and even far worse than the old US Warner Archive DVD-R.

The disc does not contain any extras (not even a trailer), no subtitles, and my Mediabook had the booklet tacked-in twice, offset against each other.

A complete catastrophy of a release.

Shame. It’s a childhood favourite and deserves a decent blu-ray.

What about this new OneGate Media edition about to come out? Is it different?

No. Just a Standard Edition with the same BD disc.

Thank you so much for the warning. At least the listing now includes a note that it is "upconverted." With Warner Archive producing proper BD releases of many of their previous DVD-R titles there is hope for a BD release of this movie. Definitely a childhood favorite of mine and it stands up quite well as an adventure movie very much of its time. It does deserve a Warner Archive BD release.
