Seems a bit pricey for a R3!

videonasty · 07-06-2005, 11:58 AM

Hopefully it will have some nice packaging, it also looks like its the only DVD that will have English DTS?

Arrived on my desk today from CD-WOW, 3 disc DTS, film is spread across discs 1 and 2. Nice packaging. obviously haven't wathced or listened to it yet, anyone get this yet and have watched/listened to it?

videonasty · 20-06-2005, 1:35 PM

Received mine today also. Haven't watched, but overall it looks fine & its English DTS

CrazyHorse · 20-06-2005, 5:47 PM

Got my copy today too. Hope the break in the film is better placed than the appalling one in the R3 Alexander 3 discer!

Will try to watch it tonight, looking forward to it as I didn't see it on the cinema.

Guys,

Can you explain in a bit more detail what the packaging is like?

Cheers

videonasty · 21-06-2005, 6:54 AM

The cover is nice

its a card case with a Lenticular image on both sides. The casing inside is a little cheap though,

its basically a plastic box that holds 3 DVD discs & a small package holding a paper aeroplane ready to be made up. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, its English DTS & overall it looks a nice set

Apparently the French will be treated to 3 versions, one with a proper model aeroplane?

Ger · 21-06-2005, 7:02 AM

So what are the picture and sound like on this? Is it worth getting?

videonasty · 21-06-2005, 7:44 AM

I haven't watched it yet? Some other forums say it may be a full bitrate DTS track?

Tejstar · 21-06-2005, 10:05 AM

Any piccies of the packaging?

Thanks videonasty. Call me dumb and slap my bum but what does a "Lenticular image mean"?

videonasty · 22-06-2005, 6:49 AM

Its like a 3D image that moves slightly. They are quite good actually. Its the same as the Donnie Darko Director's Cut cover.

Ger · 23-06-2005, 1:47 PM

Still undecided about getting this. How is the switch from disc 1 to disc 2 handled? Is the PQ any good? (just want to confirm these after seeing the R3 Alexander 3 disc set). And it was mentioned above that the DTS track is full bitrate, can anyone confirm this?

videonasty · 23-06-2005, 1:51 PM

The DTS track is full bitrate, this was confirmed from this forum....

The switch from disc 1 to 2 is handled very well, haven't actually watched the film yet thought but had a look for you, no worries on that score. FYI
the average bit rate for disc 1 is 9.1 and for disc 2 it is 8.7.

Regards

Just watched the whole of it... (when the wife was out!)
Its a good film with a damn good soundtrack!
Picture is also crystal clear!

However, I am now selling my 3 Disc SE as I doubt I will watch it for some time...
