English subtitles?

Superwonderscope · 03-04-2010, 07:24 AM

As far as I can remember, no english subtitles. But I'll check tonite.

I would prefer the English dub, which was done when they filmed it and blends perfectly. Daniel Craig does the main actors work. The HD DVD version has both and the DTS-HD mix is incredible. I use the shootout in the glass house as a demo quite often.

No english subs, just french ones on the french Blu Ray...

Quick question, 'Region A' means North America (and Japan), correct? As a US resident, if I buy this from Canada, it will work in my player? Correct?

I'm thinking of ordering Renaissance and Defendor from Amazon.ca, since neither film currently has a domestic release in the US. And want to be sure they are compatable.

I enjoyed Renaissance a lot on DVD, I hope high-def makes it really pop.

FAKE EDIT: Oh, and the Canadian edition of Renaissance has English dubbing correct?

For what it's worth- I can tell you the French DOES NOT.

No subs on the Alliance release

No Subs? Meaning no English Sub titles? Meaning the disc is dubbed in French? Or is it dubbed in English with no french subtitles?

I don't understand.

There is no English or French subtitles. Two audio tracks, English DTS HD MA and French DD.

Jim Purcell · 04-18-2010, 08:06 PM

Oh. Well that's cool then.

something I have wondered about Renaissance though. It was made in France right? I assumed that was the case, and tried watching it in French, with subtitles on my DVD copy. But the lip syncing was all wrong, so I switched it back to English. Is it's original Dub english? Or did they redo the lip sync just for the US market?

Kaminari · 09-09-2010, 08:55 PM

Belated answer, but anyway...

Yes it's a French film and the original dialogs are written in French, but like most French animated movies and video games, the lipsync is actually synchronised with the translated script. It's 'easier' to export that way.

Well that's interesting. Thanks for getting me an answer, because I've still been scratching my head over it.

Apparently, Best Buy got an exclusive on this (for a while), as I just bought it there today for $5.99. No French, just English 5.1 Dolby Digital, DTS, and 2.0 stereo. Also a making of feature. Echo Bridge put it out for Miramax.

Whaaaaaaa? Gotta get to Best Buy I guess!

You know, I'm not sure I mind it not having French track. Because I tried listening to it in French, but the lip sync was all wrong? I guess it was animated in English, even being a French movie? EDIT2: Oh wait. I got this question answered 2 years ago. Literally two posts up from here.

EDIT: Apparently there is a double pack with Equilibrium as well? Has anyone seen this anywhere?

Skorpius · 06-18-2012, 08:47 AM

I found it in a bin with other low-ball stuff, like direct to SyFy films.

Good to know. Like one of those bins they keep near the checkout?

Skorpius · 06-18-2012, 09:09 AM

No, it was around the DVD/Blu ray section.

Can anyone confirm the aspect ratio...

Original is 2.35:1 and the original Canadian Alliance disc has this AR.

The double feature from EB lists a 1.78:1 AR so I'm wondering if the single release fixes that.

Skorpius · 06-18-2012, 09:02 PM

Have not opened it up yet, but the back lists 2.35:1.

The double feature with Equilibrium from EB has the correct AR of 2.35:1. The only problem with that release is that even though the back of the case lists English 5.1 DTS, the audio for both films is actually Lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital.
