Armageddon??? - Blu-ray Forum

If I remember right Michael Bay (and/or Disney) said it was being worked on.

I was watching this on Starz HD... looked terrible! They zoomed in and cropped off the sides. I can't wait for the Blu-ray as this has never had an anamorphic release. Plus the sound would be pretty good (at least I hope so). It's one of my all time favorite popcorn movies.

This is a touchstone production, are they distributed by disney. Does that mean we'll be seeing a DTS-MA audio codec for Armageddon. Oh my, what a glorious movie this will be if that's the case.

It wouldn't matter if it was DTS-HD MA, Dolby TrueHD or PCM... It's all lossless and matches the uncompressed master anyway...

I have an oldray DVD released by Criterion. It was anamorphic (2:35 aspect ratio). It is excellent, but not BD quality.

The Criterion release was actually non-anamorphic. They did do an anamorphic version of The Rock though, but I think Armageddon was done in the period where they weren't sure if anamorphic added artifacts or not.

You are correct (my bad). My Criterion version is simply widescreen. I am eager to obtain Armageddon on Blu-ray.
