Hope it's half-way decent.

A full Atmos mix would have been better.

The sound on the current remastered Blu-ray is excellent in 5.1 (oh how I love that take-off scene) so anything else is a bonus.

[HeatEquation]

Any info on the North American release?

So far all the Atmos upmixed discs have added very little for me.
The DTS ones always sound better on the whole.
They should always offer the original mix, but this film is complicated in that regard.

It's based on the mix itself and how aggressive or non-aggressive it is. However, when Atmos is used to its fullest, it is far more capable than DTS: X from a technical and precision audio placement perspective.

SYNOPSIS
Nominated for nine Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Apollo 13 is the inspiring and riveting story of the real-life space flight that gripped the nation and changed the world. It had been less than a year since man first walked on the moon, but as far as the American public was concerned, Apollo 13 was just another "routine" space flight - until these infamous words pierced the immense void of space: "Houston, we have a problem." Produced by Brian Grazer and directed by Ron Howard, Apollo 13 stars Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris in NASA's epic operation to save the lives of 3 astronauts battling to survive an ill-fated mission to the moon.

lol that art is so bad. But it could be much worse...

[HeatEquation]

Great movie, and it has the potential to look fantastic on the format.

[rbg08]

I liked the artwork better on the 20th Anniversary Edition from a couple years ago, but I'll take UHD any way I can get it. Now to wait for the first decent price drop.

It's a riff on NASA's Apollo era pre-mission publicity photos.

[Lensman]

Thankfully they've retained Jim Lovell's commentary which is worth the price of any release alone.

I love when he moans about how fake the lift-off looks when the upward force sucks the debris back in, even though that was a real phenom (but not real footage, natch).

Agreed, horrible cover art, the "Committee to get all the face recognition prominently displayed" has struck again.

In consolation, I have bought this so many times I can swap other cover art for this edition (no OCD issue here). ALSO, SRP is $29.98 in U.S. so we should have very friendly street prices at release, and maybe sale prices by Black Friday / December.

[imsounoriginal]

The cover art on the remastered BD was so perfect. I'll just put that slip over this whenever I eventually pick this up.
