What makes the machinst so expensive? - Blu-ray Forum

coralfangs · 12-25-2008, 04:16 AM

It's 31.99 on Amazon, almost on par with CC blu-rays

cartman781 · 12-25-2008, 04:18 AM

It's really an import Amazon is selling I believe

It is the German import according to the stats on the amazon page

That is true...No US release to date. See movies like The Goonies, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas<<<they are also imports been sold at a premium by Amazon. A sucker buy if you ask me.

...expensive? it's not like the between 44 to 50 the HD DVD from Japan was getting. 30, 31 bucks is a good price for this excellent blu-ray. the picture and audio are absolutely fantastic, although it has very sub-par special features (aka none, just trailers).

great great release.

Argento Fan · 12-26-2008, 02:46 AM

Once it its release in the US, it will be priced for $20. A good movie, but I can wait.

It's on par with the price to import it, so if you're thinking of doing either, I'd go with amazon.com.

reminds me of the nightmare before christmas, anywhere local (futureshop, HMV, rogers video, blockbuster) sells for $35-$40! i can't justify spending that much unless it's IRONMAN!!

It probably looks great on BD. Great tinting and colors throughout the movie, great visuals. And really creepy, too - Christian Bale is a great actor. You should see the movie before watching Dark Knight.

FIDDYPOP · 12-28-2008, 08:39 PM

Is this movie in Spanish with English subtitles like Pans Labrinth?

skygreenleopard · 12-28-2008, 09:27 PM

Nope... it's American.

CarolinaBlu · 12-28-2008, 09:53 PM

Is the German version region free? I might be heading over there sometime next week and could search around for a cheap buy...

BluRayNick · 12-28-2008, 09:54 PM

I really hated that movie, I found it at Book and Music in louisville Ky for only 14.99!

negative on that one. The film itself is Spanish in descent, which is really interesting, and deceptive really. Just because it's in english (without a dub) doesn't make it American.

It contains a German lossless track, and an English lossless track. german is the only subtitle option.

People should start realizing if it's just one movie and it's more than 30$ then its probably be an import. That's just me though.

AgentBLU · 12-29-2008, 04:49 AM

I was in Spain for the past week and picked it up for 20 Euros. I loved the movie and can't wait to see it on Blu.

I don't see how anyone can hate The Machinist, it's damn fine filmmaking.

The MACHINIST Was AWESOME the first time I saw it. It was amazing and remarkable on the second and third viewing.
