Anyone watched The Others on Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

Flipangle · 02-05-2010, 02:32 PM

Loved this movie. I was just wondering what people who own in think about the PQ and AQ. Thanks.

Is this movie even out on Blu...anywhere

Alliance Canadian release.

Zen_Amako · 02-05-2010, 02:42 PM

The Canadian release has been out for a while. It's 1080i but it is an upgrade from the DVD.

One of the user reviews for it says it's the wrong aspect ratio so if you care about that, you may want to double-check that before ordering.

Edit: Apparently, that user review isn't correct...see posts below.

SillyMammo · 02-05-2010, 02:53 PM

Hopefully, it gets released here in the US soon. I really enjoyed this movie, though The Sixth Sense kind of stoled its thunder.

It's in it's OAR, might be cropped a little from 1.85 to 1.78, but it's OAR.

benricci · 02-05-2010, 02:57 PM

It's OAR. It looks pretty good, too.

I presume it will play in the US?

From DVDBeaver, the Blu-ray is an improvement, but they say to pass: no menus, no subtitle options, no special features.

Yeah, I went ahead and ordered it using this link but price-wise, it looks like I should have just went through amazon.ca or INetVideo place. Oh well...

masoud90 · 02-05-2010, 04:04 PM

I hope it comes out in the U.S. Such a good horror movie!

digitalbabe · 02-06-2010, 01:14 PM

Apparently Taiwan released it as 1080p release, per a member in another forum.

How did the Sixth Sense steal it's thunder seeting how the Sixth Sense was released 2 years earlier. Just wondering......

But I do hope we get a release here soon as it is a wonderful film.

I thought all Alliance releases were like that.

Only most of the Blu-ray Discs for films that Alliance releases exclusively are without menus and special features. Some do have subtitle and language options, you just use the remote to choose them. Also, Alliance has released a small handful of titles with extras and menus.

Outlander from Alliance has been repressed in its original aspect ratio and includes extras.

A Hard Day's Night may be 1080i but it does look better than the DVD and it sounds a whole hell of a lot better thanks to the DTS-HD MA track. This also includes the extras from the DVD release plus a keepcaske photo collectable.

Sin City has been re-released in a two-disc set that is the same as the US special edition but with variant covers like comic books.

I guess what I meant was it wasn't as big of a surprise at the end, because people at the time were looking for a twist, since it was sort of marketed as a Sixth Sense-type movie.
