Basic Instinct Steelbook (Zavvi Exclusive) (Limited Edition) (UK) - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

Millibar · 01-11-2015, 11:17 AM

I've ordered this in the hope that some news on a transfer upgrade surfaces

Otherwise I'll cancel and buy later in a sale*. I can't see the point in paying top dollar for a poor picture & sound.

I've just bought the Patton steel for £8 for the same reason.

*in Zavvi's case I use the term loosely - very

I've just seen the email alert for this and the frame they've used for the email is a much better choice than the current placeholder IMO

Erotic thriller.

I am doing the same.

The price is stupid considering the quality of the current disc.

With it having a June release date, I have pre-ordered it just in case.

Ordered.

What is exactly wrong with the sound? Does it have the "pal speed-up" sound like Studio Canal's
The Deer Hunter disc?

Its missing LFE on the English DTS-HD Master Audio track, could have been filtered, or the .1 channel wasn't encoded correctly or not at all.

Its basically a lesser version of Verhoeven's own The Fourth Man, but still a risible thriller.

It's similar to Sea of Love, if you've seen that. It's a thriller.

i still cant believe so many have either not seen this or even heard about this film

One of my friends were interested in this steel is the Bluray region for or is it actually Region B? I mean worse come to worse could just buy the steel & purchase the U.S. Bluray as its usually only $5.00 to buy anyway..

That is some ugly "artwork", no way I'm getting this. How about a cool, ice-pick design instead

I know right? I'll stick with the U.S. re-release not a steelbook but I prefer the coverart. I hope it got a new transfer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

UK has a better transfer.

Not to make myself sound stupid but isn't the U.S. re-release a new transfer?

I thought it was just a repackage?

You mean like that cheap plastic see-through toy Lionsgate released a few years ago? No, thanks. They had the right idea, but should've made it a little better. The Sharon Stone image is so iconic, how could anyone not like it
