Based on this review, this disc should be amazing, aurally and visually. It's a 50GB disc too: thank you Warner!

If you've never seen a Terrence Malick film before, I would recommend reading up on this before you blind buy. I think it's a great film, but the theatrical version was very long and (purposely) drawn out with little action or dialogue. With the extended edition, it definitely takes it time, so be prepared for it

I saw the movie when it came out. Went in with a high expectation, left with a depression.

After all its only IMO.

I totally understand. I think I watched an hour and a half but it felt more like four hours. I turned it off. Just couldn't get through it. I understand the directors vision, I just didn't share it.

That's one of the most respectable ways I've seen someone share an opinion of a movie on here I for one appreciated your choice of words, as opposed to saying something along the lines of "this movie was incredibly slow and therefore sucked" or "people that don't appreciate these types of movies must have no taste." Not that you were asking for my praise or support, but I wish more people on here shared your mindset/ways of expression and wanted to recognize it

I'm looking forward to this one. IMO, this was the best film of its release year, and I'd even put it in the top twenty films of the 21st century so far.

I dont really get it... your link has nothing to do with a blu ray release of this film Anyway I heard this movie was terrible by several people

What's not to get? The link is to a DVD-Beaver comparison of the DVD (older, theatrical cut) with the soon to be released Blu-ray.

I love this movie, my favorite film of the decade (though, perhaps soon to be overtaken my Malick's next: The Tree of Life). Not for all tastes, but even for a casual viewer, the action, -- of which there is definitely some, -- the beautiful images, and the story should be enough. Then again, I must be wrong in my characterization of the average movie-goer, because this film is severely undervalued and the responses just on this thread indicate that many were quite unmoved by it

[Nick VanWilder]

I liked this movie alot but debating get it b/c its like alexander, not really a movie you will watch alot maybe like twice a year ( IMO )

All I see is a very small Theatrical review and some posters. I don't see anything about a Blu-Ray release.

Edit: It works now.

This movie is the cure to insomnia, I swear it.

[retablo]

Funny (and sad) when a movie doesn't have countless explosions or a barrage of penis jokes, it's referred to en masse as boring. The same people prefer junk like MAXIM over National Geographic, I assume. Because it has hot chicks and true dat dating advice, not beautiful scenery and a lyrical, deeper meaning.

I originally saw this in the theater, and I must admit I was a little bit disappointed with it at that time. And then about a year and a half later when I took a trip to Cali, I ended up watching it on the plane on the way there, and once again on the way back to Fort Lauderdale. After watching it the second and third time, it really started to make more and more sense to me. But, that's how most Terrence Malick flicks are anyway. He's like another Stanley Kubrick in a way, as it takes repeated viewings of his work to fully understand what they're about. It was the same thing with The Thin Red Line when that came out in 1998.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. It will be interesting to see it be expanded by almost 40 minutes.

Looks like I'll be getting this one instead of Gladiator, Sapphire Series this!

[Moviefan1203]

The New World is great film making. I'm really eager to see Malick's true version of the film. I can't wait to add this bad boy to my Blu-ray library. Malick=genius.

[Edawg72]

I've pre-ordered this too. Takes some patience to get through I think if you're in the right mood for a film like this. Not for everybody, but it's a great film!!!

[NL197]

I heard that for the extended cut some of James Horner's original score was restored to the film, as the theatrical version had most of it replaced by Wagner and Mozart music. Is that true for the extended cut?
