Apocalypto (2006) Blu-ray

Original message:
just to confirm that Apocalypto is AVC and fills out the entire screen of my HDTV....the info for this movie on this site for the video codec is unconfirmed...but it's AVC...which is MPEG-4, correct?

definately worth the money so far....

Not to hi-jack, but I have a question about this movie as well.

Is it sub titled?

Was reading it Mayan, but had english subtitles. Can anyone confirm this? Not a big fan of subtitles.

Movies looks good from the description, anyone seen it?

The Don · 05-22-2007, 07:46 PM

you have to read the subtitles...

fwiw...it doesn't ruin the experience...the audio is top notch...video is as well....

they speak in mayan throughout the movie...

Subtitled is the way Gibson made it for the theaters. Like the "Jesus" movie before it that was all in Latin if memory serves. Whether the DVD gives you a dubbed version is questionable. I actually prefer 98% of subtitled films that way. To me, dubbed versions lose a LOT in inflections and many times adults try and dub a kids voice which is aggrivating. Yeah, subtitles if they flash too quickly like on District 13 can get on your nerves because you feel like the whole time is spent reading and not seeing the picture but so many subtitled films in my opinion beat the crap out of the North American versions.

It's kinda like black and white films... many people wont watch a B&W movie because they don't see any point in having a color display if that's what they end up doing but I say you're missing out on some incredible films by not seeing B&W or subtitled flicks. just one dudes opinion.

I can't wait until I get the movie from Amazon!!

ClaytonMG · 05-22-2007, 08:08 PM

It is subtitled, but I have to say, like Gibson's "Jesus" movie, the visuals are telling the story more than the subtitles. But I personally prefer to have subtitles instead of dubs. I hate dubs!!! And there is an error on the artwork. It states there is only a PCM track for the feature film, but there is also a Dolby Digital one.

LembasBread · 05-22-2007, 08:13 PM

Is it 16-bit or 24-bit PCM audio?

kknight · 05-22-2007, 08:15 PM

I prefer dubbed english since I too I hate subtitles but sometimes dubbed you lose the audio quality so I keep it the original sometimes.

When I watch anime, I always prefered dubbed

Bullseye · 05-22-2007, 08:23 PM

Do we know if this plays in a Region B player yet?

u_nick · 05-22-2007, 08:25 PM

Mine's on the way from Netflix today. Hopefully I'll have it to watch tomorrow night! Cant wait!

I don't mind subtitles as it is nice to hear the movie in its origional form. I just don't like subtitles that fly across the screen and I spend the entire time reading instead of watching.
