Quote:

Imagine that there are parallel universes. Imagine that someone has escaped one and is roaming the streets of your city. Imagine that he has come to eliminate you. Imagine that he looks exactly like you.

From the director of Final Destination comes a wild, action packed trip to the future starring international superstar Jet Li (Romeo Must Die, Lethal Weapon 4) in an incredible dual role as a police officer in a fight for his life and a universe-hopping assassin obsessed with terminating it. Also starring Carla Gugino (Spy Kids), Jason Statham (Snatch) and Delroy Lindo (Gone in 60 Seconds) and loaded with explosive action and jaw-dropping effects beyond your wildest imagination!

Lazy artwork all around there. Hopefully a standard version will be on the cards too

Geoff D · 08-13-2021, 08:15 PM

New transfer and/or extras or just added tat? I would like to know more.

I’m not privy to that, I just make sure the cucumber sandwiches are ready for when the boys come back from Costa.

With the crusts cut off or there’ll be hell to pay.

Rewatched this one just a couple of months ago, last time was when the film was fairly recent. Even though it's an interesting setting, I can't say it has aged well.

I always thought this was incredibly cheesy and not in a good way. It looked both big budgeted and lower budgeted at the same time somehow. Some good fight scenes though. How many times can they reuse the poster in this release?

We had new artwork ready for this release but we weren’t allowed to use it by our licensors, shame as it was lovely…. Still we really like using original art too!

Aww that's a shame but now makes sense why the original art was used so often.

Can you at least show it here?

There is a HD version in 1:85 and it's the better option for the film. It has more picture from an open matte master. I hope it will be available in that edition. I have already a blu ray of The One and i think it would be very interesting to have the film in 1:85.

chen lung · 08-13-2021, 09:07 PM

I didn’t like it when I was younger, but it was a better experience months ago.

I'm of the opinion that CGI should be used wisely in a film (especially if it’s in its relative infancy); anything that appears too exaggerated or fake only detracts.

Steelbook with slipcase? Has 88 been acquired by Zavvi too?

I think it would be a Zavvi exclusive if so and probably the end of the world as they already got Arrow.

Good to see 88 Films getting in on the overpriced tin racket...

drobswim13 · 08-14-2021, 03:00 AM

Have to say I'm not big on these steelbook limited releases. Would rather have them as they have been doing them.

Marv Inc. · 08-14-2021, 09:14 AM

I saw this in the cinema and enjoyed it and have the dvd somewhere. If it has new extra's id be tempted.

Same, but £30? They are high
