Another date to add to my HD DVD exclusive list.

Finally...

Love this flick

Bishop_99 · 04-21-2011, 03:24 AM

FINALLY!!!! Only almost a year after this movie was released in Germany. I'm glad they didn't make me wait a long time for a U.S. release

First day purchase

.....I also hope they use the German cover (original VHS cover). That cover is just fine, it doesn't need anything different.

Yes finally. I mean this has only been out for years on HD-DVD. I wonder if it's the same exact transfer and features but on blu. If so, why wait so long?

Great news, now we need to get FOX to release Volcano

AKORIS · 04-21-2011, 04:55 AM

fun movie (despite the "row row row your boat" scene) I'll be picking this one up....

starryeyes · 04-21-2011, 07:00 AM

Love that movie. I ordered my copy from Amazon uk awhile back.

Crimson King · 04-21-2011, 07:03 AM

I remember the cool tagline for the film "The coast is toast"!

Bishop_99 · 04-21-2011, 01:02 PM

The pre-order is available at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XC5LP0/

It has a good price as well at $13.99

I would think it's going be the same master that was used for the HD DVD a few years ago. It did contain some mild edge enhancement because I owned it for a couple years before selling it off.

DualEdge · 04-21-2011, 01:45 PM

One of my favorite Brosnan flicks. Can't wait for this one!

I thought that was the tagline for Volcano?

It was. The tagline for Dante's Peak was: Whatever you do, don't look back.

Great movie! Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan are both very good in this. One of my favorite disaster movies.

I will always remember the part where

Probably, it doesn't seem as if Universal would go through too much trouble to do a new transfer when they have one ready. Aside from the issue you mentioned, I would assume that the HD DVD version looked nice. As long as it does, I'm ready to buy it.

Yeah, it looked decent. I'd probably give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 for PQ.

Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to seeing it.

shadylpete · 04-21-2011, 04:48 PM

Why do they continue to completely crap all over the covers? Daylight's BD cover is horrible and cheesy and now Dante's Peak cover is possibly worse.

Bishop_99 · 04-21-2011, 05:32 PM

What a horrible looking cover. Why did they feel the need to change it? The cover for the German release looks very good, this looks like the cover of a Syfy original movie.
