Apocalypse Now - Blu-ray Forum

UK release at a good price http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/1...n/Product.html

dallywhitty · 02-05-2011, 09:47 AM

I was wondering when we'd get a UK release. This will most certainly be mine.

Yami · 02-05-2011, 11:06 AM

Can't wait. I'll be going along to that theatrical re-release if it happens too.

Poshteh1 · 02-05-2011, 11:24 AM

GREAT NEWS!!!

I have held off buying the US edition since release (really lucky as I was going to order it last week)!

Looks like it's going to be identical to the Full Disclosure Edition, including the booklet, but looks as if we are getting more! Description says: 5 Exclusive Postcards with behind-the-scenes pictures and 1979 Original Theatrical Program - provided to viewers during the first screenings of the film in 1979. Hopefully it comes in great packaging like the US release!

That is also a great price! Much better than the cost of the US release! And the release is a little after my birthday! Very happy!

Happy with my Full Disclosure version, but i'm also happy that everyone gets to experience it on Blu Ray now. Still kind of vary of it being Optimum and all... It's a 'hit or miss' company to me

Sky_Captain · 02-05-2011, 12:22 PM

I'll laugh if Optimum's version looks better and they region lock it.

blame_thatcher · 02-09-2011, 11:48 PM

This will be essential, and Hearts of Darkness is one of the best docos I've seen.

Anyone know if were getting a booklet like the Disclosure Edition?

Forget that I read the play.com listing properly this time - question answered

That is pretty sweet. Even though I already have the US Full Disclosure edition, and I think there's a chance these will be the exact same discs, I'm feeling an urge to get the UK edition as well.

Brvtality · 05-31-2011, 01:45 PM

Preordered this, can't wait to watch it. Film possibly in my top ten.

alien2010 · 06-02-2011, 06:56 PM

Just another week more and I'll finally get to watch this masterpiece in HD. Saw it on Saturday at the Cineworld in Haymarket. Great film, crap screening room. I hate Cineworld

You're lucky to have a cinema near you that will show it! Doubt my nearest Cineworld will.

Have a look in the drop down box on the right of the page and find out

It's showing June 7th here in wales, for one night only

alien2010 · 06-05-2011, 01:16 PM

I preordered mine on Play.com. Hope I get mine on Saturday, can't wait to finally see Hearts of Darkness. It was only released in the U.K. on VHS and I didn't bother getting it cause it was released on a double pack with Apocalypse. Who would've guessed most of us will be double dipping our DVD's and Blu's when VHS was around?

Why can't VUE do things like this? THEY SUCK!

Brvtality · 06-08-2011, 04:16 PM

Mine on the way now too.

Very impressed Asda had it at that price... Especially given the fact I'm not even sure my local stocks any BDs!

I hate myself. I usually don't pre-order Blu-rays but last year I did it for The Thin Red Line (Criterion) and Apocalypse Now (Lionsgate/Maple). Now they both have been released in Europe and at less than half the price.

I can justify the purchase of The Thin Red Line as the Criterion release is actually better in almost every way than the Fox one but I cannot say the same for Apocalypse Now. The UK release is Blu-ray sized, much thicker cardboard, better artwork, includes theatrical program and postcards.

North American release is still great but I'll double dip in the near future.
