New Gattaca BD from Image Entertainment. - Blu-ray Forum

eddievanhalen · 07-18-2013, 12:03 AM

A new BD release from Gattaca has come out from Image Entertainment, being Gattaca form Columbia/Sony Pictures.
As amazon has zero details about this release and I don't live in the US ('though my Oppo BDP-93 is locked to Region A), has anybody bought or seen this new release and can confirm it's a brand new edition and not simply a repack of the previous Sony disc but released by Image Entertainment?
I'd like to know if a new encode has been done, but if the current one was used but DTS-HD Master Audio was used instead of Dolby TrueHD from the original Sony release I'd buy it anytime.
Any help with this release please?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is anything more than a different distributor.

Then again it's one of my favorite movies of all time so I'm going to keep an eye out.

If you see it on a shop or even buy it and it's different from the Sony release, please, let me know.

I was wondering the same thing...

Is there any difference between Sony and Image or is it simply a repackage job?

I'm pretty sure I saw it once (just the product, not the disc in the player) and it listed all the bonuses from Sony's release.

Looks like the same specs (1080p, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (48kHz, 24-bit)), size (50GB Single disc), and codec (MPEG-4 AVC (26.14 Mbps)).

Dont know if this is a good or a bad thing! I love Gattaca - I think it was my first blu-ray import. Its the best sci-fi film of the 90s for me.

The existing transfer is good but I suspect it could be better.

It is indeed a fantastic film. Some critics call it out on it's 'American Dreamish' theme, but I that theres so much more to it than that. Great low-fi production design too.

I've got the blu ray as well, but agree that it could be better. A 4K master for this would be very welcome.
