Tremors

[NYorker]

One of my all-time favorites...
Is the PQ that bad? I understand the chances of a re-release are pretty slim...

[demiscy]

I heard it's a direct port from the HD-DVD. Which was pretty awful

[KingSimba]

If you're a fan of the film, its worth it.
Apparently the PQ isnt anything fantastic but its still the best you'll probably see for a long time, as like you say the chances of a re-release is pretty slim.

Plus if you are HD Audio ready, the review here says the AQ is a 4/5 which is great.

I don't know, if its a port of the HD-DVD I think I'll avoid to be honest.

Short of filming my own remake with squirrels for monsters, it's either this or the DVD. Shame Universal couldn't put just a bit of effort into it.

I would totally watch that.

Comparison between DVD and HD-DVD and the BD is same source as HD-DVD although is a little softer from what I recall from viewing both as I have both.

Best PQ is HD-DVD
Second best PQ BD (Softer than HD-DVD)
Worst PQ DVD

Some scenes look decent, but mostly it's very disappointing. To Universal "remastering" means over use of DNR. We won't get a better version for a while.

[Drooch]

Tremors is one of the worst transfers I've seen on Blu. Slathered in DNR and edge enhancement, an insult to the format. Stay well away.

[levcore]

I still dont get all this negativity. it looks good on my 48" Samsung

[beadelf]

I got Tremors very cheap on blu....yes its worth it.

better than my dvd copy!

It's a shame Universal has no interest in creating a decent special edition, I'm pretty sure SS Wilson, Brent Maddock and Ron Underwood would sit down to record a new commentary. I spoke to them all at length for my book and they still hold a great affection for the film (well, all the films bar number 5).

The US edition of Tremors 4 got a Wilson commentary, but nada on the UK version.

Tremors is a classic, and deserves far better treatment than it actually received. I want a decent edition.

I'd crawl over broken glass to get a new Shout special edition, it's a prime candidate for exactly their brand of cult oddities and it desperately needs a new transfer.

"for my book" as in your wrote that? It was a great read. Almost feel bad for buying the kindle-version and only paying $3.99 + tax for it.

The only time a feel Universal went "all the way" regarding Tremors was the Signature Edition of the LaserDisc. Tremors is one of the very few movies I have bought on VHS, LaserDisc (twice), DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray (twice).

The US Attack Pack was good, but far from great. Someone who cares™ needs to release at least the first one.

Yeah, that's mine - glad you enjoyed it, hope you learned a few things about the films.

I've owned various versions, including iTunes, but it definitely deserves better treatment. Perhaps if Tremors 6 or the Bacon TV series are a success they'll come up with some new boxset at some point and do a few new extras (suspect not though).

This would a great title for Shout!, 88 Films or Twilight Time.

Ugh god, I hope twilight time aren't allowed anywhere near this. I think it's more likely that shout/scream will release a decent edition.

[CouncilSpectre]

Exact same disc

[Gorgon]

Just thought I'd tack on to this thread instead of starting a new one.
I just received the 6 film collection from Amazon.uk and though it arrived unscathed, I'm a bit miffed with one item already.
Each disc is on a separate hub, not stacked, which is great and all are region free BUT each disc has so many "age warning" symbols on them (no joke, SIX WARNINGS PER DISC!) that there is no room on the discs for the titles of each film!
You need to match up the small picture at the top of each disc with the one on the back of the amaray slip sheet to determine which film is which...
This is bloody frustrating to the point of being hilarious.
I have yet to begin watching, so not sure of release quality put out by Universal but hopefully they're good.
I just shake my head at the inanity of such foolishness.
