Can't wait to see this in the theater. It's opening tw. here in Austria.

Day one on Blu-ray.That's for sure! It's going to be a magnificent demo disc in all categories.

First I hear news of two legendary Attenborough titles coming out soon, then this, all in the same year. It is a good Blu year for me

Puonti · 09-06-2012, 09:42 PM

Sweet. Day One for sure.

l saw Samsara at the Pictureville in Bradford in 4K and 7.1 the presentation
was fantastic, should be one if not the best Blus.

I can't see any sign of a set otherwise it would be pre-ordered by now.

EDIT: Play now have it advertised for £17.99, due for release on 14 January 2013 . . . pre-ordered

Why, not satisfied with the existing one?

It's damn near reference quality ...

You must have an LG mate?

levcore · 09-07-2012, 02:26 PM

Can someone kindly give me the lowdown on these please? I've only seen a trailer for Samsara and thought it looked interesting. They're documentaries are they? I know nothing about them apart from seeing that trailer

I haven't seen either of them, but from what I understand they are essentially beautiful, thematically linked montages of some pretty spectacular people and places in the world. Filmed in 70mm. They aren't documentaries with a voiceover or narrative as far as I'm aware, more a mix of music and visuals. But maybe other people can give more info...
