I'm counting the days until the Blu Ray release-it's like September all over again!

Ok how 'bout this:

" Save me a lot of paper work if you just confess right now "

That's GOT to be a line from a Dirt Harry film ?


Anyone ?
;-)

Great scene to wrap up the trailer with. Wish there was one in the elevator too, "He's thinking of going after your gun" "Yep" haha.



And by the way. About the pirate thing I brought up, i accidently clicked  instead of  . That makes sense?

I wasn't too happy about his support for the movie... And imagine it came off looking like I cheered for it

I dunno if to pre-order it or just rush out first thing in the morning of release and go find it! which will be quickest?!

Blu-Ray.com (my most trusted source for Blu-Ray reviews and news) has a rather glowing review of the US release of Dredd 3D. They couldn't help make comparisons to the Stallone Film, but other wise Dredd 3D gets a 'Highly Recommend', which is their highest form of score.

I'd heard somewhere that the UK edition had some picture quality problems with the 2D version of the film, apparently that isn't the case (if it was the case at all) with the US edition.

Wow, that is a good review!  I particulalrly liked this bit about the sound engineering:

Dredd features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mix (optimized for the Neo:X 11.1 system) that is, in a word, astounding. The onslaught of LFE in this film is amazing and is perhaps surprisingly not limited to the ubiquitous gunfire. In fact my personal favorite sound effect throughout the entire film was the throbbing hum of an elevator that Anderson finds herself taken hostage in. But the entire film is awash in incredible surround activity from virtually the first moment, when we get Dredd's iconic motorcycle panning madly through the soundfield. Dynamic range is among the widest I've personally experienced, with everything from Dredd's hushed dialogue to absolutely over the top explosions handled with ease. One of the notable things about this film is how carefully the effects tracks have been assembled, with directionality really smartly done. So many action films just kind of throw the sonic bombast at the virtual wall, knowing that everything will stick. Dredd, however, very carefully places discrete effects at several key moments (one especially huge explosion which clearly erupts from the right side of the frame also does so aurally from the right channels). Fidelity is top notch and this certainly will be one of the reference quality audio tracks high definition aficionados will be talking about throughout 2013.

Anyone with a decent sound rig attached to their TV is going to have a ball!  I'm quite tempted to nip out and get one now, to go alongside my new 3D TV!   

Jeez, this film is going to make me so broke...

That's interesting as I heard the UK disc is only receiving a 5.1 sound mix.

[shaolin_monkey]

NUTS!!!

[dweezil2]

NUTS!!!

Although I've only got a fairly basic 5.1 surround system so a 7.1 mix would be wasted on me and I guess the US disc is region locked anyway.

Nice for those with a more advanced set-up.

most blurays aren't region locked, they kinda realised it was futile with DVD's worth a check. My surround sound system is 7.1 but I only have 3 speakers connected at the moment due to space

The US tends not to bother region locking older titles. With new films it's rather hit and miss whether they do or not-time (and further reviews) will tell I guess.
