Looking forward to this one - pre-ordered it from Future Shop - my first Steelbook!

District 9 looks remarkably crisp on Blu-ray from Sony. The image quality is exceptionally smooth - even the more obvious CGI effects. This is a dual-layered transfer utilizing the AVC encode with the film taking up about 25 Gig. Detail has some very strong moments and there is some depth notable. I really have no complaints with this Blu-ray appearance that seems un-manipulated and dynamically sharp. Aggressive thumbs up!

District 9's DTS-HD Master 5.1 at 3958 kbps is perfect. It reports bountiful separation, bass response and strong high end. I couldn't find any negative issue with its rendering at all. Clinton Shorter's score is adept and crisp - sounding bountiful and deep when called upon.

Even beyond looking too deep this is a competent and rewarding film experience and the Blu-ray does it all. The remarkable A/V transfer, extensive supplements and excellent price make it a deal home theater aficionados can't, nor shouldn't, pass up. Strongly recommended!

And its region free too

Good news! I knew Sony would not disappoint. This will be my last Blu-ray purchase of the year since nothing that is getting released on the 29 is worth it for me.

I have the privilage of getting new blu-rays two weeks early. This is the finest transfer I have ever seen! It is truely unbelievable! This is a must have blu-ray for your collection.

I saw this movie 3 times when it came out. I kind of regret that now. Ill probably watch the BD once and itll sit on a shelf for 6 months before I touch it again. Thats hardly worth anything more than a netflix rental. I need to stop wearing movies out too quickly.

Whats happening around..!? This movie's Blu-Ray is yet to be released and I already saw a 1080 B-Rip of it.. How come these rippers are getting hold of these and creating R.I.Ps when actual Copy Right movie isn't released yet..?! The R.I.P's quality that I saw was outstanding and it actually looks awesome on a 30" LCD which is a Full HD Monitor..

I played it on my PC and the player that I used was The KMPlayer.. When I right click on the file that is being played I have an option that says Media Info from the drop down menu.. It shows the dimesions as 1920x1080..

People have connections, they're very resourceful. Happens with every single movie. I remember that unboxing vid of dark knight BD at least 6 weeks before it came out up on youtube.

I believe the Blu-ray has already been released in South Africa so it's already been released in some places.

You're mad, but you downloaded it anyway.

This stuff is going to be out there. Best thing to do is to support the artist(s) involved and purchase the product. Who knows if this was even a BD rip but was instead upscaled, or grabbed before BD production.

It has to be that, all of the rips online don't feature the subtitles for the aliens.

I seriously can't wait to see this again, it was hands down one of the better movies of '09

No review needed. It was a purchase when I saw it. Good to know the BD is awesome!

I agree with you my friend!!! I am hoping the Amazon ships on Satuday so I have it by Monday like Inglorious Basterds and Hangover.
