Mission to Mars SE Digibook Blu-ray coming!

I remember seeing this in theaters. Was in high-school back then and I already had an affinity towards sci-fi, so I was reasonably pleased with the film. Not sure how it holds up today, but I did glimpse at it on Vudu in HDX and the sandstorm scene is still jaw-dropping.

Been wanting a Blu-Ray upgrade for a while, but I held off on the French import because of forced subs (I think?). I might bite on this edition, if it can even ship to to the US.

Yes, it has forced subtitles. Today, I just put an Oppo cable box in front of the black bar, and it worked beautifully. The macroblocking on the French disc is the real problem. I hope this one will have a high quality encode.

Should look awesome then.

I live in Austria, so I could possibly buy a few and send them to the US, but let's see.

This Blu-ray comes with quite a few cool special features, according to amazon.de. Audio commentary by John Knoll & Hoyt Yeatman, interviews with the cast, evolution of VFX scenes, etc.. Sound promising.
I just hope the transfer is good.
