This is now £12.99 at Amazon.co.uk, which is the lowest price yet. It seems to be cropped, though, as the blu-ray.com entry linked to above gives an AR of 1.78:1, with an OAR of 2.35:1. Accordingh to amazon the running time is 120 minutes, while the Australian BD (with the OAR) has a running time of approx. 92 minutes: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparison....php?fid=36650

Can anyone direct me to the current best release of this movie, i.e. OAR, uncut and English-friendly? Thanks!

The japanese blu-ray release is also 1.78:1 and 93 minutes, so I think the 120minutes on amazon is an error; won't be the first time.

The US NTSC DVD is listed as 102 minutes at amazon.com, just to make things more confusing: https://www.amazon.com/Garm-Wars-Dru.../dp/B014DMSGZQ

I think I read somewhere that there exist a shorter and a longer version of this movie, but I don't remember where I read that so I can't be sure.

It's also wrong; the U.S. DVD also is 92 minutes; i've seen it. Some european countries also list running times of 102 minutes, but I doubt it's correct.
I'm not so sure about the aspect ratio; 2.40:1 is the correct one, but it's also possible the aspect ratio on the backcover is wrong.The trailer for the uk blu-ray is 2.40:1.

I know Oshii films can be a bit confusing, but to have even the info about the film being like this takes it to another level.

This is a very confusing movie.

It's like they tried to put a story that would take at least 3 movies to explain properly into a 90 minutes. It looks fantastic though.

Very old response, I know. But I just imported the Japanese box set for this movie, and it's actually in the correct 2:35 aspect ratio.
