Dredd:Blu Ray review

[dracula1]

  The place of origin of Dredd and no shiney special edition. Well I'll save me £30 till Christmas and hopefully it will arrive then.

[SKD]

 As there is still no sign of a 'shiny tin special edition' Dredd in the UK... Someone suggested a while ago (I can't remember who atm) that we have a 'buy a copy of Dredd day.' Is anyone still up for this? I don't have a Blu-Ray player, but i'd gladly purchase the 3D Blu-Ray Dredd to help push up the sales on said day.

I think that may of been me!
Well it's coming up for the film's first anniversary on September 7th, maybe we should all go out and buy another copy (or two) then!

Great idea on the 7th of September will go for the blu Ray ...
I'd also like to see fans organise a viewing of the movie in 1 or 2 cinema's  a pre booked  England or Scotland  preferred (official DREDD DAY )

I'm new to this forum but not new to 2000ad, I am up for anything that will get a Dredd sequel made. I have signed the petition but will do anything beyond that. I do not have a blue ray player but will gladly buy a Dredd blu ray on the 7th of September to help the cause.

I think I will do this as well, I lent out my copy so could do with another.

Should try get the Make a Dredd sequel page to get some more people to do it to

Amazing how many people reviewed this movie on Amazon in comparison to the other big name releases. A great customer score to boot as well! Not bad for a low budget release.

Then Amazon.com has a fairly respectable score and pretty ok review numbers in line with other releases.http://www.amazon.com/Dredd-Blu-ray-Digital-Copy-UltraViolet/dp/B005LAII80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376433801&sr=8-1&keywords=dredd

September 7th sounds good to me.

The Blu-Ray is still in the top 20 in the Sainsburys near me and is selling for £7, the same as Tesco. The DVD (for anyone who has not got it yet) is going for a fiver, so it's not going to break the bank either.

I posted this on the 'Make A Dredd Sequel' Facebook page:


Hello fellow Dreddheads!
September 7th will mark the one year anniversary of Dredd's release in the UK in the cinema (21st of September USA and many others).
To mark this event I'd like to suggest that we all buy another copy of the film on Blu-ray/DVD to bolster sales and hopefully increase the prospects of a sequel!

My paint and photoshop skills are very limited, so I'm requesting the help of the 'Make A Dredd Sequel' mods or another group member to create a suitably striking image to accompany the 'Pledge To Buy Dredd Saturday' (on Sep 7th or 21st) to share on the various social networks and to get this strategy in motion!
I look forward to what other group members think and thanks for reading!

I will definitely buy a Blu-ray copy on sept 7th but a thought struck me earlier today. Does it matter where we purchase from and is there a retailer that would be a better bet for registering sales?
For instance if a buy a cheap £7 copy from Tesco say would that have the same effect as buying from Amazon? Or do all sales count no matter where from? Okay, obviously buying second hand copies won't cut it, but would buying other cheaper discs be any better?
Lastly would it be better if we all bought from the same source to create a 'spike' of sales or does it really not matter if sales are spread between various sources?

I'd imagine, as regards to the UK retail market, any physical copy bought at a retailer online or shop goes toward the total figure, which the BVA use for its' charts.

So, finally got access to post in here. I wanted to ask about the picture quality on that Japanese Dredd Bluray CF got and how it compares to the French one, as I am shortly going to be picking one up. Is the French one still considered the best picture quality? Thanks...

They're both the same in terms of image: colour-saturation, frame-ratio and sharpness levels seem even.

Grand job, thanks
