The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) (Limited Edition) - SOLD OUT - Page 12 - Blu-ray Forum

Shanester · 12-10-2013, 11:15 AM

I ordered my copies with other titles so I'm expecting a slight delay

oldgame · 12-10-2013, 11:25 AM

Ordered mine yesterday, hopefully there are still copies left.

Any updates on shipping or reviews?

Mine said shipped yesterday, but nothing has been deducted from my CC yet.

I ordered both Sinbad films (plus Jane Eyre) just minutes after they went 'live', but my order still says 'pending'!

Hoped to get them in time for Christmas, but looking doubtful now.

Both arrived today and I quickly scanned over both discs since I was on my lunch break from work. Golden Voyage looks okay (it's 1.66 even though it states 1.85 on the back of the box), kind of grainy with a decent amount of detail. Some effects shots look a little worn. Eye of the Tiger is a little less grainy (better film stock perhaps) and looks detail looks a little better than Golden Voyage, but like the other film some of the effects shots had some wear and tear. Both Caroline Munro and Jayne Seymour looked stunning in 1080p, and Patrick Wayne's acting looks to be on par with a wooden log.

Both of the Sinbad films shipped yesterday, I should have them in the new year (thanks x-mas holiday delays!).

Ben_R · 12-11-2013, 04:39 PM

Still no dispatch of either film. Is there anyway to check the status of an order on SAE?

Unfortunately, that's par for the course for male leads in Harryhausen films.

Email says shipped today, so we'll see when it arrives. I've never ordered from this place before.

goodstuff · 12-11-2013, 06:11 PM

Received mine yesterday via USPS.

A shame that Twilight Time doesn't offer reversible cover art. The new cover for Golden Voyage is okay, but the original poster art is better. They feature it on the back cover of the insert booklet. As usual, not many features.

Shanester · 12-12-2013, 01:04 AM

Got my shipping notice today

Sorry don't agree, John Phillip Law was a lot of fun as Sinbad in Golden Voyage. I thought his performance was very good

and was not wooden, he had to hold his own against Tom Baker

and he did very well.
It must have been hard to stay focused with Caroline Munro next to him most of the time though. She was stunning in this as always.

Nobody watches a Harryhausen film for the acting.

ouch - but true.

as for my blurays I'm surprised that 1) I haven't received a shipping email or 2) I actually received them since the company is just across the river and a few counties over into Virginia.

For those of you like me whose order is still pending, here's the scoop on the shipping delays for the Twilight Time December releases. Golden Voyage arrived on Friday at SAE, so they could not begin fulfilling orders until then at the earliest. A snowstorm then interrupted the process and slowed them down getting orders out the door. Not just a little slow down, they got backed up pretty good. They are working hard to get caught up but are many, many orders behind (as in thousands). Those who got theirs shipped already were the lucky ones that went out before the weather turned bad.

Rich65 · 12-12-2013, 05:28 AM

Mine shipped on the 9th, fingers crossed they get here by the weekend.

Speak for yourself. Both of these films have the Doctor from Doctor Who in them, and I love to see them ham it up. Patrick Troughton in Sinbad and The Eye of the Tiger and Tom Baker in Golden Voyage!

I'm joking of course. Though I love Doctor Who, I watch these for the special effects, as all do.
