Donnie Darko Blu-ray

19/07/2010

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/6...t/Product.html

I seen this once a while ago and didn't have a clue what was going on

. Will have to re-watch it before it comes out.

Dwight Schrute · 03-18-2010, 08:26 PM

Finally. Haven't seen this in years. I think I'll wait until pre-ordering though as it's a while away.

GrinwithoutaKat · 03-18-2010, 08:34 PM

Ooh, awesome. I'll definitely be picking this one up. I've never seen the Director's cut, but heard the original version was better. Good job it has both!

ChrisDilke · 03-18-2010, 08:56 PM

I'll definitely be picking this up too, a brilliant film and I have also yet to see the Director's Cut. I'm also hoping it will have the extras that I, and many others, missed out on by getting the bargain-priced but bare-bones DVD release.

YES! I was wondering when this was coming to Blu-ray in the UK. Brilliant film - one of my favourites.

HotRats · 03-19-2010, 10:35 AM

It'll be interesting to see how it compares against the lacklustre US release, though the picture will always be hampered by the source material. I thought the director's cut was terrible, it removes all ambiguity and subtlety

tommyboy81 · 07-03-2010, 01:12 AM

I'm watching the Director's Cut right now for the first time. I'm 25mins into it. Liked the hotel room scene. Don't like the new song in the beginnning. It doesn't fit like the other did. Plus I loved that song.

HMV are selling the BD with an Exclusive Booklet for the same price as the normal version!

Moonlight Shadow · 07-03-2010, 10:50 AM

On the US Blu-ray the theatrical cut is clearly an upscaled SD transfer and I fear the UK disc will be identical. The Director's Cut looks slightly better but this version of the movie sucks.

I give the Director's Cut a 6/10 almost a 5. The Original a 9/10

It can be had at Play for £11.99 using code: DARKO. Obviously no booklet, but still a 2 quid saving.

CyberGhostface · 07-06-2010, 05:27 AM

As someone who already owns the US Blu-ray, are the added extra features worth double-dipping for?

thewerepuppygrr · 07-06-2010, 10:09 AM

I was gonna preorder from Play too, but I saw an advert for this in the new Empire magazine that said there will be a lenticular edition exclusive to ASDA. A lenticular Donnie Darko sounds particularly awesome to me!

What is ASDA?

The second largest supermarket chain in the UK, about to get even bigger after taking over Netto. Frequently engaged with the UK's largest supermarket chain Tesco in a battle of dubious claims and counter claims about who offers the lowest prices. Owned by that most ethical of companies, Wal-Mart

Yep, ASDA is short for Associated Dairies.

They have a website you can buy blu rays from, but it's unlikely you'd be able to order from overseas.

kazama · 07-09-2010, 06:08 PM

I've registered on their site and they do ship to Europe fortunately (I'm not sure about the US). However, the lenticular slip edition isn't up for preorder yet, i really hope that it's not gonna be an in-store exclusive kind of stuff

GunZenBomZ · 07-09-2010, 10:06 PM

Enjoyed the trip the first film offered up.

Heard the second film was shite.

CJPowers · 07-17-2010, 08:04 AM

Received my copy this morning from Play, no slipcase.
