Strange Days (1995) 20th Anniversary Edition - Blu-ray Forum

PuppetMasterBlu · 02-12-2015, 02:33 PM

So I just noticed the listing for this and for only like 15 bucks with shipping it certainly beats the hell out of the OOP blu-ray. I did notice however that Koch is releasing it this time. Will the transfer be the same? Will the subtitles be removeable? Does anyone know the specs of the disc?

Yeah I know, im just curious if it will have the same transfer and removeable subtitles because the price is right. SO MUCH cheaper than the out of print blu-ray.

Wouldn't it be funny if it's the same non-anamorphic DVD era transfer? This was a Lightstorm Entertainment production, if my memory is correct, Jim Cameron's company. I think it's safe to assume the film is mired in the same limbo as True Lies and Abyss. Then again, the Europeans may have found a way to remaster the film

Two recent Koch releases Mad Dog And Glory and The Secret of My Success were decent transfers. Depends on what Universal supply them with. I have the older out of print Kinowelt Strange Days disc. The UK dvd was anamorphic and while the Strange Days blu ray release was by no means reference it was a modest upgrade over the dvd

For under 16 bucks you can't go wrong. And thats with shipping. So cheap.

I'll wait for reviews, etc.

I own the previous release and the same master with a higher bitrate isn't going to cut it.

2nd disc is listed as a DVD on bluray-disc.de, btw.

I don't mind, it still beats the hell out of the previous release price wise. Eventually this will drop even lower and you'l get it for around 10 bucks.

stephenwilson04 · 02-13-2015, 07:13 AM

Ordered! I already have the current German blu, but I do like the poster artwork they're using for this one, plus it seems the transfer may be better.

RipleyLV426 · 02-15-2015, 01:47 PM

Such good news, think I will preorder as well!

James Luckard · 02-23-2015, 06:29 AM

One of my favorite movies, an under-appreciated sci-fi/noir masterpiece. I own the OOP German disc.

So strange this has never had a US release, but looking forward to the extras on this, hope it's a new transfer too.

Ultrabit....

20th Anniversary and still no US disc, what is Bigelow doing??

The German distributors have now released it there on BD three times. It must have a bigger German fanbase that can support these releases. Fox clearly doesn't think it's worth the effort of releasing here, sadly.

Since it's one of my top 10 favorite films ever, I'm just glad it had made it to BD somewhere on earth.

swifty7 · 05-14-2015, 03:59 PM

I love this movie and the end credit music by Peter Gabriel and Deep Forest.

Nothing. It's not up to her when and where this gets released. The only thing she could do really was politely ask.

Lenny Nero · 03-12-2015, 05:44 PM

Most definitely buying it, my #2 favorite movie of all time (right behind Blade Runner)!

Wonder what kind of extras there'll be. There isn't much in existence, and germans have already scraped seemingly all they could find for their 2DVD release a few years ago.

Cheers Mike. Looks like the wait was worth it; ordering, here I come.
