The Island Blu-ray

kknight · 02-14-2007, 07:55 PM

ewwwwwwwww I can't wait for The Island, that was one of my favorite movie!!! I really like all his movie (Micheal Bay).

JBlacklow · 02-14-2007, 08:48 PM

It's a Dreamworks film in the US, so who knows when we'll get it here.

BTBuck1 · 02-14-2007, 08:53 PM

Damn I was just thinkin about this movie today too!

ProvenFlipper · 02-14-2007, 09:00 PM

I saw The Island on HBO HD and it looked really good. I would pick this up when it is released here, we just need Dreamworks to get off of its behind and sell us some BDs.

Loved this movie, and will watch it everytime i see it on HBOHD. Hopefully this news means it will be coming to the states in not too long.

And if it doesn't; remember that the Warner-stuff is region free!

This movie hs a ton of post processing. It will look horrible. Good news for HD DVD.

KenThompson · 02-14-2007, 10:30 PM

Rented it once and I seem to recall I liked it. So its a lock for my collection.

aqupunk · 07-19-2007, 04:38 PM

Ok so I ordered The Island from amazon uk! Should look sweet on blu-ray! Anyways says all regions and PAL format so hopefully all will work I know the forum has gone back and forth if it will work in my US player or look right but I have heard people have watched Crimson tide and Con air imports and all was fine. Anyone else buy imports and have any info?

Zod · 07-20-2007, 12:16 AM

I don't think there's any PAL or NTSC for blu-ray, as the overseas retailers still mark region numbers for blu-ray which is obviously wrong. I've just ordered this as well, seeing how Mediadis sucks and won't ship this title to me in the states.

All posts I've read on another forum state this plays fine in the USA, it's Warner and they don't region code.

aqupunk · 07-20-2007, 12:23 AM

Sweeeeeet!

Deciazulado · 07-20-2007, 12:33 AM

PAL and NTSC are Standard Definition formats not HD formats

zombieking · 07-20-2007, 01:10 AM

With purchasing movies overseas, are the audio tracks going to be in English? I understand the region free codes, but I've never tried to purchase overseas. Somebody enlighten me

Sielle · 07-20-2007, 01:13 AM

Depends on the movie and where you order it from. If you get it out of the UK it's most likely going to have an english track.

If you order it from Japan you'll want to check the specs and make sure there's an english track on it.

Simply put though it shouldn't be much of a problem, most places will list the audio tracks and subtitles on the product discription page.

That matches the specs for the German edition: DD English and DD German. I was hoping the UK version would include some form of losless in English. Oh well...

XSilentCobraX · 07-20-2007, 11:27 AM
