I'll second that; I saw it today in FS, seems like another bare bones release (which isn't a particular problem for me), but I won't bite until I read some PQ reviews.

Oh no subtitles? No go for me then.

The beaver confirms no extras, no subs but PQ and AQ are very good. It looks like they didn't mess this title up. Price is very reasonable as well.

Looks pretty good. I need to give this film another viewing, I really hated it when it 1st came out. More of a Prestige fan here lol.

This disc looks very good and sounds fine considering the shoddy treatment many other Canadian exclusives have gotten. I did notice some light banding and macroblocking in a few spots, but nothing that would force one to regret purchasing it. A U.S. release by Fox will probably have less artifacting but you'll get the same lossless audio. People on the fence should probably pick up this Canadian release instead of waiting.
