A quote from their website:

"Wow. The 1.85:1 MPEG-4 HD image is so much better than the Superbit release I don't even know where to start. Gone are the little artifacts that plagued the earlier release, colors seem more stable and solid and contrast is much improved as well. I don't know if the old disc was that bad or this new one is just that good, suffice it to say I really don't care. This is a much-improved look for the film and I love the way it looks. While still not a perfect transfer in terms of other Blu-Ray discs, this is a very noticeable improvement and one that I'm happy to give a near perfect score."

This is a an outstanding film. A great way to introduce your significant othger to the world of BD.

Haven't looked at it yet - working on some new tweaks to our reviews instead. But this is another Sony release that exploits BDs audio storage capability with 2 PCM tracks (English and Italian) and 5 more DD tracks, plus beaucoup subtitles.

This is a an outstanding film. A great way to introduce your significant other to the world of BD.

Hehe, first time I read that I thought "What, there's no B&D in that movie."



It is a pretty good movie though.

This is amazing what Sony is accomplishing. I somehow doubt a lossless Russian track could ever be justified if it cost a fee to supply.

Might have to get this for a quiet night with the gf.

[Batman1980]

Excellent blu-ray that was definitely worth trading for, especially seeing Natalie as a stripper in HD. Still think she should've won the Oscar.

[Leonid]

...great news for Russia...2nd BD for region C with russian dubbing.=)
First one is Casino Royale.

[Leonidas King]

The title heading for this thread is odd as f*ck. I was so curious I had to take a closer look.

BTW, Closer is a great movie.
