The Fifth Element question... - Blu-ray Forum

How do I know if my Blu-ray copy of The Fifth Element is the remastered edition? The retailer said that it 'was' the remastered edition but it does not say anywhere on the case that it is 'remastered'...

TIA...

Copied this from an Amazon post - (was just easier than writing it all myself

)

"how can you tell the difference between the old and new packaging?" It's a good question because outside of a few minor visual clues there's nothing obvious that really separates the discs from one another, at least not until you know what to look for. First off the new disc has a TrueHD logo on the back, the original obviously didn't. The security tape across the top of the disc case reads "FIFTH ELEMENT, THE RMSTD BD" on the new version, the catalog number on the spine of the re-master is 21520, the originals catalog number was 15018 and lastly the bottom border (front cover) area that contains the "Experience High Definition" slogan is set against a silver/foil background on the re-master versus a flat gray border on the original.

The other way you can tell if you have the remastered edition is that one of the audio tracks is Dolby True HD
