Is it worth the double dip ??

I suppose it is worth it. Why are they re-releasing so many films?! First Casino Royale and now I Am Legend if that pic is for a Blu version. There are other movies they can release on Blu-Ray instead of re-doing the same ones...

I have already I Am Legend Steelbook Edition. I never buy this new version, it's just for money...

coolmilo · 09-02-2008, 10:16 PM

I wonder if there is any improvement planned for the video/audio or is it just the included chotskies?

Yoeddy1 · 09-02-2008, 10:20 PM

What more would this version give you compared to the original Blu-ray version in terms of video and sound?

As for more recent live action fare, an I Am Legend: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and will include an alternate version of the film with the "controversial ending," all-new special features such as a new filmmaker commentary, deleted scenes, "iconic" premium collectible items and more.

Oooo. An alternate ending? Controversial you say? You mean the same one that was on the first stinkin blu-ray disc?

Geez. This would only be worth uprgrading to if the original didn't have a lossless track, and it did. So, unless you are a huge fan of this movie, I can't see how it's worth upgrading.

Will Smith would have to come to my house and give me a 60-minute long tongue kiss before I would ever consider double dipping this release. He would have to spend the night and bring a box of Trojenz for me to buy Handcock.

But I do have I Robot, Independence Day, MIB and Pursuit of Happyness. He was good in those.

GORT · 09-02-2008, 10:48 PM

If I did not allready have this BD I would pick this up

I'm still waiting for Warner to do a decent job on Troy... as for I am Legend, if it's the same encode as in the spring there really is no point as far as I see...

rickyricardo · 09-02-2008, 11:37 PM

that boxset is just a little too much for me...

PVJAG · 09-02-2008, 11:42 PM

Are they re-releasing it as a single disc as well or just the box set?

redlikefire02 · 09-02-2008, 11:45 PM

Hey Troy was awesome!

Anyways If they give this a dts track or go up to 7 channels and do a directors cut I might do it if not I guess this is just for collectors.

I noticed that Amazon now has another, separate page for the Ultimate Collectors Edition of I Am Legend with a release date of August 2010. But the specs and other details seem to be the same as when the item was released in 2008.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the two UCE packages? Picture or sound quality? Glitches? Etc? All I see is the price for the older release is lower through Amazon's third party sellers.

Please advise. I've been wanting to have this for a long time.

LuFeng · 10-07-2010, 06:00 PM
