Same for me, I like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton but I just can't get into this version of it, for me Willy Wonka will always be Gene Wilder

This looks like a good release, really like this version as well as the original film adaption

richieb1971 · 04-07-2009, 01:57 PM

Just watched this. PQ 4.5/5. AQ 4.5/5

Bright and colourful, the end credits seemed to have some banding (is that the correct terminology?), but the main feature looked wonderful.

I'd give Warner a 5 for keeping the movie bootable from the offset. I don't like the others studios ideas of putting 1000 logo's/commercials and trailers on the front.

Grubert · 04-07-2009, 02:24 PM

Does it have TrueHD for the movie and the isolated sountrack, or only for the soundtrack?

Dubstar · 04-07-2009, 02:33 PM

^ good question ... *TIMMIE* ??

*TIMMIE* · 04-07-2009, 02:46 PM

Extra features...
- Musical score in Dolby True HD...

I thought I was very clear on that.

Will double check it tonight.

PQ/AQ of the main feature look & sound good. The picture is bright, colorfull and detailed. The sound is an upgrade to. Escpecially in the openingsscene and the musical parts of the movie.

It's a pity the extra features are still in SD.

Dubstar · 04-07-2009, 02:51 PM

^ but the extras aren't PAL encoded - right?

They never are with major studios, usually.

Dubstar · 04-07-2009, 03:04 PM

I don't like that word 'usually'

I know about the isolated score - I wanted clarification about the movie soundtrack.

I'm asking because the HD DVD only included lossless audio for the isolated score. The movie itself was in lossy Dolby Digital Plus only.

Dubstar · 04-07-2009, 03:06 PM

the way *TIMMIE* worded it though it seem like both the film and the isolated music score are TrueHD, but it was still vague.

Hello

Does anybody know if the UK-Blu-ray is identical to the German (and the Dutch) version and has German audio on it?

Thanks
Stephan
