Category 7/10.5 Apocalypse double feature - Blu-ray Forum

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 07:35 PM

I picked up this blu-ray today at Best Buy. Both movies are packaged together for $15. When I looked on Amazon I noticed that they only sell them individually for $10 each. Has anybody else seen this double feature disc?

miked924 · 04-08-2008, 07:43 PM

Only combo like that I know is the DVD version of 10.5 / Category 6: Day of Destruction (those were the original movies). I haven't heard of a combo Blu Ray of 10.5: Apocalypse / Category 7: The End of the World, as far as I know they are only sold seperate. Are you sure they are Blu Ray because that sounds like DVD

miked924 · 04-08-2008, 07:45 PM

Looks like Best Buy sells them each for $12.99 on their website...the combo you mention is on DVD for $9.99 though

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 07:50 PM

my mistake, it is Category 6 and NOT Category 7. That being said, I still don't see this double feature on blu at amazon? And it was $15 at Best Buy for the double feature.

groovyone · 04-08-2008, 07:52 PM

I guess we can see why it is only $15 for the pair:

ha ha, yeah i haven't watched them yet and don't know if i ever will. but my wife is a sucker for disaster flicks, no matter how cheesy. so i thought she might enjoy it.

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 07:56 PM

again though, that was $15 JUST for 10.5 Apocalypse. I got a double feature with Category 6. I haven't been able to find this anywhere else online. Has anybody else seen it?

Mericalis · 04-08-2008, 08:08 PM

Although Category 7 is a "B" movie (mini-series) at best, I actually enjoyed the flick. I had no high expectations of it. Also, when I popped it into the player, it allowed for Dolby 5.1, which I was actually surprised about. For $9.99 on Amazon, it was worth it for others who like disaster flicks.

miked924 · 04-08-2008, 08:25 PM

Category 6 isn't available on Blu Ray

jw · 04-08-2008, 08:28 PM

I got Category 7/10.5/blackbeard/king tuts tomb from amazon today, I preordered them for 8.95

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 08:36 PM

Its a double feature! I will take a picture later tonight and post it. I think everyone is missing the point of my post- I understand ALL these titles are available relatively cheap on Blu-ray. However, I have never seen TWO of them packaged on the same disc? That is what I picked up at Best Buy today. Has anybody seen this DOUBLE FEATURE blu-ray?

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 08:39 PM

To avoid all confusion these are the TWO blu-ray titles packaged on the same disc:

Category 7: The End of the World
10.5: Apocolypse

ONE blu-ray disc. Has ANYBODY else seen this? I purchased it today at Best Buy. Everywhere I look online I can only find these titles for sale individually.

Never seen or heard of them on one Blu Ray...would love to see a photo

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 09:05 PM

will do my best to get a picture up tonight. If nobody else has seen or heard of this I may have to go back to bestbuy and pick up the rest of them!

PBJblu-ray alltheway · 04-08-2008, 09:08 PM

I saw that double feature disc at Best Buy, but I put it back down when I noticed there was only 2.0 sound.

Yeah, it states 2.0 sound, but as my post above states, I was shocked to see that there is Dolby 5.1 on my Category 7 disc. The disc actually has Dolby 5.1, DTS 5.1, Dolby 2.0 and PCM 2.0...anyone else explain these options?

Hmmmmmm. I wonder if the double feature disc has that as well.

Here's the thing, I am sure that ALL the discs were created exactly the same, at least logic would tend to move in that direction. Why waste extra $$$ to put more features on a low budget disc?

ulri4651 · 04-08-2008, 09:58 PM

yes the double feature is 5.1 sound. I can in fact confirm this.

Clark Kent · 04-08-2008, 10:14 PM

It would not surprise me that Best Buy has some exclusive retail BD double feature. They do this regularly with smaller niche material on dvd. They are the number one Blu-ray retailer after all and a small distributor like Echo Bridge would do this in a heartbeat to guarantee shelf space.
