king kong scary?

why buy degraded version??
get US version, nicer packaging..

Scary in 1933 standard. 

Psycho not my thing. Aliens was good. But not out on Blu Ray yet... 

Anyone here saw The Thing recently? I usually stay away for pre 1990s movie as their effects and editting is very dated... (just saw Godfather for the first time. Good movie but damn bad editting...damn slow...)

Try out "Salo:120days of Sodom" - now that's scary sh*t. Scary to imagine that someone actually decided to take a movie based on this. Scary to imagine that this really happened! And downright scary in terms of violation of human rights. It was voted as the no65 scariest film ever made (some US assocation)

Degraded version in terms of PQ/AQ or packaging only?

Err... sound more disturbing than scary... 

packaging only...
sorry for the misunderstanding..

aah cool then. 29.98 is very cheap i think. all this while i never see it below 30. if minus the vat even cheaper

anybody knows if da vinci code/angel n demons box set region free or not? angel n demons alone is not region free

Another evidence is Finland Banned this movie in 1933.  So, must be very very scary. 

As far as I know, Universal would use the same encodes for US and UK releases and in this case the UK release also had BD Live (Bourne Trilogy)

DaVinciCode/Angel n Demons box set from UK is a Sony release, I don't think Sony would have different region coding for the standalone vs the boxset.. If u can wait until I get mine, I can check for u....Possibly next week.

Oh yeah, very.... 

uuhh i sure moomos like this one

Oh yeah, very.... 

wow, u kah?

BTW, Anyone can comment on the PQ/AQ of the Infernal Affairs Trilogy? Also anyone already tested the Once Upon a Time in China as yet? There are some reports that indicate that the Once Upon a Time in China and Police Story from HK are upscaled DVDs instead of remastered from original as HD. Can someone who has viewed these comment...

Is it?
I ordered the Once Upon a Time in China and it's still on the way to me
will test after I receive it

For home theatre enthusiasts, Akira on Blu-ray brings another true revelation to the table in the form of its soundtrack. For the first time ever, a digital movie soundtrack can be said to equal the very best the original master tapes have to offer. Recorded at an astounding 192khz/24-bit audio resolution - which is 4 times the sampling rate of a typical Blu-ray Disc - Akira's new Japanese TrueHD 5.1 audio takes up an astounding 12mbps of the BD's data rate all by itself! (For the record, that's almost as much as the video on Warner's Batman Begins Blu-ray). Without a doubt, this is THE audio Blu-ray demo disc for the foreseeable future. So for all those of you that received new speakers for Christmas... your holy grail BD has arrived. The English dubbed track was only created at 48Khz/16-bit, and retains that resolution in its own lossless TrueHD 5.1 presentation. Finally, the original Japanese theatrical mix is presented in LPCM, encoded as Dolby Surround. For longtime fans of the film, note that the Streamline dub is NOT included, quite possibly due to licensing issues, as MGM currently owns the Streamline assets through their acquisition of Orion. If getting the dub were even possible, it would likely be far more expensive than it's worth.

Sound:
Both the original Japanese track, now in a stunning Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix, as well as the similarly excellent English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix, offer pretty close to reference quality audio. Akira is a riot of sound effects, from the opening nuclear explosion, to motorcycles roaring between channels, to Tetsuo's ultimate frightening transformation. Both of these soundtracks offer incredible separation and clarity, with a wealth of LFE and other ambient effect scattered throughout the channels. Dialogue is always clear and directionally placed. Also offered are Japanese tracks in PCM 2.0 and DD 5.1. English and Japanese subtitles are available.

If I could pick one area where this Blu-ray truly shines, it would be the audio. The default Japanese language track is presented in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound. There are also Japanese tracks in Linear PCM 2.0 and Dolby Digital 5.1, but I only spent a brief time with these inferior tracks. Getting back to the TrueHD track, this is easily the most noticeable improvement I’ve heard in the transition to lossless sound. It was as if a blanket was lifted from each of my speakers, and clarity took an instant jump. Spatial separation is dynamic, dialogue is appropriately balanced, and there was an unbelievable level of clarity throughout the film. This is one of those tracks that uses every speaker to envelope you in the on-screen action. A helicopter pan across the soundstage is appropriately loud, but never noisy, and the rumble of the film’s many explosions resonates with an oomph you’ll feel in your chest.

In the booklet included with the disc, there is a lengthy discussion of a theory known as the hypersonic effect, and how it was utilized in remastering the audio track for this Blu-ray release. I can’t say I understood everything included in the 10-page explanation, but I did find it interesting that the film's original composer, Shoji Yamashiro, is also a professor at the National Institute of Multimedia Education, and has published books on “Sound Ecology”. His studies have led to the theory of the hypersonic effect, and he was instrumental in remastering the high bit-rate TrueHD track for this Blu-ray release.

Rounding out the sound options is a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track dubbed in English, which was on par with the quality of the Japanese TrueHD track.

Thanks, do let me know. Planning to get this as well.
