Immortal (DTS Version)
October 21, 2006 Better than the USA DVDThis R3 HK DVD is much better than the USA DVD. The video quality is a lot sharper and cleaner. It features full bit rate DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, while the USA only had 1/2 bit rate DTS and Dolby. Video was encoded near the maximum rate, like SuperBit. It doesn't have any extras, but the presentation is phenonemanl. I liked the movie when I saw the USA DVD, but the quality wasn't that great. This DVD was much more enjoyable.
Note: there are several parts of this movie where characters speak in different languages. The gods talk to each other in Egyptian, the alien creature with a hammer head speaks its own language, and two characters speak French at the end. You have to turn on the subtitles manually in these sections. The USA DVD was similar, only it just had closed captions for the hearing impaired. It's a little annoying, but once you get used to it, you won't need the subtitles.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
August 3, 2006 DVD is Not Anamorphic (16x9)
The distributor's website, box, and DVD itself said 16x9, but that is not what you are getting. Movie is 2.35:1 letterboxed. This should be pointed out, but someone deleted my previous review. So I will re-state the facts again. Everything about this DVD says it's 16x9, but it's not. If you want 16x9, don't buy. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
