I had this (still have it) on Laserdisc, never got around to buy the DVD. Such a great little movie.

jeddy3 · 05-20-2009, 05:35 PM

there's one up at dvdtalk.com

Blu-News · 05-20-2009, 05:36 PM

It's a 5/10 PQ imo.

That bad? Did the DNR monster get it?

I figured they used the same master as the HD DVD which was pretty horrid. Not even lossless audio of James Horner's emotional score can save this disc if the picture quality is as bad as I think.

That's a damn shame...this is the best sports movie ever made. If it's that bad, I'll hang onto my dvd.

Sounds like the HD DVD version. Pretty inconsistent transfer from what I recall and one that I wish I would have rented and not bought at the time.

Great movie though, but I would recommend waiting for a sale.

High Def Disc News has a review up. They also pretty much say the PQ and AQ sucks. Universal really needs to remaster or perhaps restore this film. Both DVD versions looked awful also. I'll wait and maybe get it when Fry's has it for about $10.00.

CHERRYGARCIA · 05-20-2009, 08:23 PM

well..thats not encouraging feedback..it seems my saving grace is that its only costing me $15

davcole · 05-20-2009, 08:41 PM

Looks like Universal's untarnished record may be over with FIELD OF DREAMS.

While they have been stellar so far with BD releases, I can tell you they had several clunkers on HD DVD so far as video quality. I hope they make the effort to remaster these titles before BD release.

Glad to see the video isn't as bad as I had read from other sites. Underwhelming for sure, but then again, this isn't the Blu to show off your home theater with anyway. I'll probably pick this up on Amazon at some point, when it goes down. After all, this will be the fourth copy I've owned.

Brad1963 · 05-28-2009, 05:30 PM

I bought it. It looks good to me PQ quality.

I need some confirmation

Blu-ray.com lists this U.S release as region free?

Yet amazon details are warning me is it region 1(A) locked. I'm Australian so before I order it could someone please confirm which source is wrong?

Is it really region free? Thanks.

Field Of Dreams is definitely region-free for the U.S. release. It was released by Universal Studios, who has never region-locked a Blu-ray yet. Amazon's region information should never be trusted as a definitive source, most of the time they just use a default listing that is frequently wrong.

Thanks a lot, this puts me at ease. They may even be using the DVD info (out of slackness) which I recall was region locked. I used to have a DVD player that could read it though.

P.s part of me is so glad I necro'd this for this question. This movie deserves some more attention!

I do. I usually have my heel on the other foot. I'm flexible and can lay on my back with legs behind (or in front behind my head) me, without lying on my feet, or bend my heel further than my stomach. The position feels quite natural with my legs bent.
