Day 1 purchase for me

Sig-gotyouth · 01-22-2011, 08:17 PM

Wow. I've been hoping for this for a long time. There are few films that truly have replay value. This is one of the few I could watch once a week. Easily.

eiknarf · 02-20-2011, 01:29 PM

Wait, this is coming out on Blu-ray in the UK? Any chance the USA will get a Blu release?

DaveSimonH · 02-21-2011, 04:34 AM

"Its MY HEAD!"

Can't wait.

Amazon are actually showing the release date as 9th September, which is a Friday. It should be 19th September.

How does it compare

I compared some caps from the Criterion release and they're both almost on par but I'd say Arrow has a slight edge but not by much.

stratford · 08-09-2019, 06:31 PM

Dailyan I'm interested, you've compared some caps, but what about actually watching the movie for real, Arrow Vs Criterion. Are there any meaningfull differences, please?

Actually, I watched the Arrow yesterday and it looked fine in-motion. I never owned the Criterion, so I can’t say, but from the caps it looks fine enough. The Arrow release is a fine alternative for Region B locked folks that want to ditch the old Uni disc.

stratford · 08-09-2019, 06:46 PM

Dailyan honesty is all ways a good thing. many thanks to you though. You should join the m-r brigade some time.

andreasy969 · 08-09-2019, 06:51 PM

I own the Criterion, bought the Arrow as well (because I love the movie) and just quickly (!) compared both. Basically both look exactly the same. Comparing caps, the Criterion looks a tad better where I compared.

stratford · 08-09-2019, 06:54 PM

andreasy969 many thanks to you, I shall let others buy the arrow edition while I enjoy the criterion

andreasy969 · 08-09-2019, 09:49 PM

You're welcome.

Here are two caps:

Criterion | Arrow

1.

2.

I didn't bother doing more, because I really don't care with that kind of difference. But as I said: If I go pixel peeping, Criterion wins with both IMO. *

* You'll find the exact same caps at caps, because I just quickly compared my Arrow with caps' caps earlier on, but I just grabbed the according shots from my Criterion BD as well to post a "proper" comparison.

McCrutchy · 08-09-2019, 10:21 PM

Thanks for the info, guys.

Billz · 08-11-2019, 05:12 PM

It'll be nice to get rid of the 2011 Universal disc for this.

DaveSimonH · 08-11-2019, 06:25 PM

Unfortunate that they couldn't match a 7yr old Criterion encode.
