I may import 3D version if it gets cheap enough. Some scenes does look to benefit from 3D from the trailers that I've seen.

Just found out about the no 3D thing
This film made great use of it. Was planning to pick this up, even though I rarely buy blu's anymore as I buy 90% of my flicks as UV codes these days.

So looks like I will have to import. Is UK my best option, or is there any reason to look elsewhere?

Amazon UK seems to be the cheapest for the 3D edition, around $25 shipped. It's a Universal release so it will probably be region free. The only reson to look elsewhere is if you want a steelbook. As of right now there's still speculation as to the UK edition having Atmos or not.

I just got the French 3D release today. The 3D is fantastic - some of the best 3D I've seen on BD since The Walk. It has Atmos too. Definitely import.

[IntelliVolume]

Rented this for tonight; looking forward to its Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio (not equipped for Atmos yet)...

[xander]

I actually enjoyed the visuals and color palette quite a bit. Was a fun movie. Since I know it bombed, I'll wait and get it for a song later.

how much did you end up spending for it to get it to the states? was the language English? also is it region free? have a nice day.

Didn't have time to watch Wall tonight after seeing Logan in 4K HDR (wow!!!) but I quickly looked at a few chapters for picture quality and boy, the colors pop BIG time in HDR. I don't expect too much but I'm sure it'll be great eye-candy.

[Bades]

The blu-ray case said it comes with a free movie? Does anyone know what options are available? I'm guessing it's a digital selection.

Yeah the HDR is really nice on it. Movie looks kind of soft a lot of the time though. It's a fun and pretty action movie, but nothing great. Doubt I would have gotten it on day one if it weren't for UHD fever.

I wasn't impressed with the free selection. I don't remember all the titles, but a couple were Hail, Caesar! and Intolerable Cruelty. I redeemed mine for Somewhere in Time. The few others, I don't remember now--mostly comedies and dramas.

It's a Universal Studios release, so it's most likely region ABC.

My 4K copy didn't come with the free movie thing, dunno why.

It wasn't on the back of the digital code slip?

Not sure if it's only select copies or Blu-Ray only or what.

[imsounoriginal]

Nah the back of the digital copy slip was just this thing talking about how great 4K UltraHD is, and which movies Universal has on the format that we should buy lol

Wish I got the offer, would've got Intolerable Cruelty without hesitating.

[Frank@Chicago]

I'm going to check into the UK 3D release...

Watched it tonight and what the movie lacked in story, it sure made up in video and audio. Good mindless popcorn movie worth red box $1 rental only.

Thats the best kind of movie there is!

Easily worth a day one 4k and double dipping for the UK 3D

5/5 for me on all accounts.

Those drums really shook the room

[IntelliVolume]

Indeed, this was better than I had expected; as someone else had mentioned, good check-your-brainpan-at-the-door popcorn fare in the style of Clash of the Titans and Gods of Egypt. I don't think it's a buy for me, personally, but the Dolby TrueHD track (core) was TOTALLY off the chains on my system...some of the most rousing, aggressive audio that's ever passed through my gear.

Good shit.

Couldn't agree more; when they pounded those drums to indicate an imminent attack, the LFE walloped my walls and gave them a good lashing.

The whole track was reference-quality, IMO.

Yeah, second that even if I don't have top of the line audio. Visuals were great and I'll buy it.
