under siege and topic of upgrading to blu-ray

[stow123]

This wasnt a great transfer oi who said it wasnt a great film either? lol just wanted to say that the only time this really looked HD was the mens uniforms sat round the table and also the overhead shots of the battleships as you could see all the people walking along them.I really like this film so why should i have a SD dvd when can i have the blu-ray i think its common sence to upgrade.My point is although the detail isnt great in some films it will still be a much cleaner image ive hardly noticed any digital artifacts etc with blu-ray when some dvds are a mess.

I remember when most movies came out in both dvd/vhs forms, alot of people didn't want to give up vhs either, mostly cause "older" people didn't really care about the picture quality too much, so same will go for dvds/blu-ray, as time wears on, more an more people will eventually catch on to the new technology and adopt it as the standard, and dvd will phase off eventually(might take a while) but once the price for blu-ray players and movies become the same as sd-dvd players/movies, then alot more people will switch and they won't go back.

I couldn't agree more!

Under Siege doesn't have the greatest transfer, but it is a step up from the DVD.

I'm watching this movie now..but something funny is odd with the sound.. after they blow up the fighter jet then they walk into this room where the lady says he's in big trouble it's like the treble goes up very high and I can hear ringing each time she speaks.

I have the DVD version and I never noticed that. It's a meh movie like most of Segal's movies but I wanted to get it on blu-ray

I've heard and read the U.K transfer is better then the U.S.

I strongly disagree, if you're talking about all his DTV crap..... yeah, all that is pretty meh.

Totally agreed. I think it's a considerable step up from the DVD.

Couldn't resist the upcoming Japanese releases of the Under Siege films with slipcovers

The price, for what I'm getting, is beyond all lunacy. Absolutely insane

Lack of compression artifacts, better colors, yeah it's not just about more detail.

Can we get a 30th anniversary edition of Under siege. We also need good audio because the blu-ray lacks in it. Poor dialogue and surround. It has a good soundtrack too. Wanna hear gun shots, explosives, chopper and jets.

The German blu-ray from Studio Hamburg has an English 2.0 stereo track.

Anyone know if this is the original theatrical mix (as opposed to a downmix)?

If it's original it should be better than the 5.1 remix.

It's still dolby digital. Not lossless.

Agreed that this needs a new transfer. Seeing Erika Eleniak in a new 2K or 4K scan of the film would be nice
