Dredd:Blu Ray review

[JOE SOAP]

No cinema release for the French, so they got this instead:

Seriously, there's like over a million people in France. I don't understand why it wasn't released there.

Nice DVD though.

Dredd Lionsgate US Blu-ray vs Dredd Metropolitan FR 2D Blu-ray screen-shot comparison shows Dredd Metropolitan FR 2D Blu-ray has got more picture information on both sides (wider) and is less bright but sharper than 3D release:

Subtitles are not forced on the French release.

[Stan]

Weird. Overall, I don't think I like that darker version though.

[JOE SOAP]

The picture quality is better on the French release with more detail and sharper. If you want to brighten the image it can be your own choice at home but if it's brightened beforehand during transfer and with contrast added, you lose detail that you won't get back by trying to bring it down.

Mine is on its way, or so the translation said!

Three discs? Elaborate.

Three discs? Elaborate.

I have a few single movie boxsets from Criterion that have 6 discs for a single film. Three is cute.

[Apestrife]

Forced 8 people to see it in the cinema. 6 of those loved it, 1 found it too funny and the last one thought it was too violent.

Made (yeah, they're now "made" in my opinion) around 20 watch it since the release on home video. Everyone liked it very much  .

Right, that's it. I've ordered a copy.

Looks fucking wicked, and the inclusion of a DVD copy, a little booklet* and superior picture quality is more than enough to justify it to myself.

*should point out that the booklet is exclusive to the retailer FNAC (French HMV equivalent), so I have ordered from them rather than Amazon.fr.

[I, Cosh]

Cop, judge, executioner?

[Spikes]

Dear Grud, thats one seriously nice looking package the French are getting.

[Hawkmumbler]

Waiting for me despatch email form importCD's. Excited I am.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

They've got to do a version like that in English, looks rad.
