Walk the Line (Extended version - Dutch Import) Video: AVC | Audio: DTS-HD MA | AR: 2.35:1 | Fox

Disc One (BD-50) - Feature Film with audio commentary
Disc Two (BD-25) - Bonus disc containing special features
Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
Average video bit rate: 30+ Mbps
Region Coding: A, B, C (Verified)

Sharpness of the image is not this film's strong suit. The color palette is vibrant and punchy. Contrast remains slightly weak and it looks the DOP applied some soft filter to emulate a period look. Though the blacks aren't inky and deep, it remains constant showing decent amount of details in the shadows. The video has a very smooth and clean appearance with a barely visible layer of film grain. Sometimes the image is so clean with almost zero grain that it tends to appears flat, soft and a bit waxy. Not sure if this is how it looked in the theaters but the usual suspicion about application of some degree of judicious grain scrubbing arise as the facial close-ups and texture details always look on the verge of turning out to be waxy. Also noticed some EE in couple of scenes. The facial close-ups exhibit average detail and leaves a lot to be desired. Outdoor shots in the day time looks excellent with the night shots looking average. Though there are many scenes that offer HD pop, the image quality fluctuates between looking like Spiderwick Chronicles and Twister.

This movie is in my top 20 of all time. I own the DVD SE, love the cover art on that one.

I'd really like a blu-ray of this.

The extended edition/director's cut is the superior version of the film. It is the way the director intended it to be seen.

This thread made me laugh because it said US getting the shaft and right under it is the thread that says Young People F***ing Canada...

[twilightfan]

This is my one of my favorite movies - possibly all time favorite - so i agree - it does feel like we are getting shafted when everyone else is getting this except for the us

[bigpapy]

any body know when this title will be release in USA?

[jw]

I just watched it again, awesome flick!! I am a big of the man in black and of course Reese Witherspoon from her earlier work. Didnt get a chance to cheak out the Special Features as I have 3 others waiting

[sinister184]

bout to buy a copy of this.. cant wait to get it.. WTL is one of my all times.

[twilightfan]

this is my all time favorite movie and i'm dying to have it released in the US.
Joaquin Phoenix was also great in this - I was so upset to hear he has retired from movies/acting - he was getting to be a fav. of mine especially since this film and gladiator.

Guys, this just came out down under and is region free.

[Ranger-R]

The DTSMA track is one of the best i've heard. A must have to your collection

[Lsalas76]

Amazon lists the WTL import as coming out on November 25 and you can pre-order in it the U.S. too. If this is true, I'm all on this one even though its $31.95 but I do have a $5.00 Amazon credit.

And actually it is listed on this site as coming out on the 25th too. Also just wondedring how come nobody is talking about this.

Its NOT an official USA release, Its an import, notice the 101 distribution as the studio name, Its probably Amazon's DBA as they have all these titles in their catalog

Let me know about the special features, I might just buy it instead of renting it (never seen it). It would be nice to have some actual songs on the BD.

Those would be nice I guess, but songs that Johnny Cash recorded himself would be better (not talking about whole album, just a few).
