I am hoping the US release looks better, because I love the movie. The TrueHD soundtrack is suppossed to be great. I can't comment on that though, I wasn't running lossless at the time.

Edit: And for the price those Amazon sellers are selling that version, maybe I should have kept the Blu-ray and sold the DVD!!!

I compared several scenes from my old DVD and the BD. While Almost Famous doesn't look as sharp as let's say "I am Legend" (never meant to look like that) it looks noticeable better than DVD. And as I have said the Dolby TrueHD is a great upgrade.

so why is this movie considered a "bootleg"?

BTW I got Almost Famous for about 11 bucks taking advantage of a good deal.
