Master & Commander

[bigparahandy]

This is one of my favourite films and I see it on a special from Play at £9.99. However it has mixed reviews there (in terms of PQ) and after searching the forum here i've found it's quite an old Blu now having been released in 2007(as far as I can tell) anyway the question is this.

How does it compare with newer releases and would you guys recommend it as a purchase based on the PQ alone?

Oh, and a second question - I see from hunting around that there are only scant extras on the blu compared with the sp ed DVD - anyone care to voice an opinion on whether there may be a further release with the bells and whistles?

And a last comment - Play used to list the included extras on the DVD's but seemed to have stopped doing that which is a pain.

Thanks for any views
