Dredd:Blu Ray review

[Spikes]

I know nowt about that nuts and bolts of film making, but id have said it was a stylistic choice as well.

Least i hope it was. Using untried camera's may have turned out to be problematic - and created the need to go for the grainy/ghosted look at times - or at least turn it up a few notches?

Watching Dredd, at home, for the first time was a bit of a head scratcher, but re-watching it i hardly notice it.
But where it is pin sharp, it does look fantastic, so i do slightly bemoan a lack of a uniform look through-out.

To be honest it seemed to be more noticeable on the medium/wide shots, not the close-ups.

I live in Japan and saw that someone posted a link to the Japanese edition a while back. It's in a really nice steel box, so I was really tempted to buy it, but when I looked on Amazon Japan there were loads of bad reviews (already!) from people complaining that there was no 3D disc. From their reviews, they actually seem quite pissed off. One good thing is that there are clearly a lot of people who liked the film so much that they're moved to post reviews complaining about the lack of a 3D disc before it's even released.

Complaining there's no 3D?

Wow! That's a switch!

Haha, yeah, that's true. From what reviews I've seen, Japanese viewers seem to have a lot of appreciation for the technical achievement of the 3D in Dredd. Makes a change from all the moaning about not being able to see it in 2D. I have to agree with the Japanese fans myself. I dislike 3D generally, but I thought it was absolutely fantastic in Dredd.

[dweezil2]

I totally agree RicheyJ!
DOP Anthony Dod Mantle did an amazing job with the 3D cinematography!

This little beauty turned up yesterday!

And believe me when I say it's even sexier in the flesh! 

[shaolin_monkey]

Oh god, that looks awesome. Still waiting on mine.

I wish Judge Dredd was a character that was created in Britain, then we might have gotten summat as nice as that... 

[von Boom]

That's nice. Being Japanese the photo makes Dredd somehow even larger than life. Like he could take on Gojira (Godzilla) and win.

[radiator]

Nice - still hopeful for a UK steelbook.

Does the sticker come off?

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Mine should be here this week then

How both your's both turn up safe and sound CF and SM and Radiator the cardboard slipcase comes of to reveal the artwork beneath.

Also, the disc is region free and will play on UK Blu-ray players.

I'm still hoping someone like Zavvi will pull their finger out and do one, but the Japanese steelbook will take some beating!
