Here is dvdbeaver review for Minority Report which just release not long ago:
Minority Report Minoruty Report Review by Gary Tooze Production: Theatrical: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation Video: Dreamworks / Paramount Home Video Disc: Region: 'A'-locked (as verified by the Momitsu region FREE Blu-ray player) Runtime: 2:25:15.331 Disc Size: 47,854,980,188 bytes Feature Size: 47,201,415,168 bytes Video Bitrate: 37.14 Mbps Chapters: 24 Case: Standard Blu-ray case Release date: April 20th, 2010 Video: Aspect ratio: 2.35:1 Resolution: 1080p / 23.976 fps Video codec: MPEG-4 AVC Video Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio English 3015 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 3015 kbps / 24-bit (DTS Core: 5.1 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 24-bit) Dolby Digital Audio French 640 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 640 kbps / DN -4dB Dolby Digital Audio Spanish 224 kbps 2.0 / 48 kHz / 224 kbps / DN -4dB / Dolby Surround Subtitles: English (SDH), English, French, Spanish, none Extras: (all on a 2nd Blu-ray included and all with optional subtitles) • The Future According to Steven Spielberg (18-part -34:03 in HD!) • Inside the World of Precrime (10:11 in HD!) • Philip K. d***, Steven Spielberg and Minority Report (14:19 in HD!) • Minority Report: Future Realized (6:22 in HD!) • Minority Report: Props of the Future (9:42) • Highlights from Minority Report From the Set (2 pieces): - The Hoverpack Sequence (6:06 in HD!) - The Car Factory Sequence (2:57 in HD!) • Minority Report: Commercials of the Future (3:55 in HD!) • Previz Sequences: - The Hoverpack Sequence Previz (1:43 in HD!) - Maglev Chase Previz (2:10 in HD!) • Previously Released Special Features (duplicated from the last DVD - all in SD) • From Story to Screen (19:03 in total): (2 pieces): - The Story/The Debate (9:36) - The Players (9:27) • Deconstructing Minority Report (42:06) • The Stunts of Minority Report (26:45) • ILM and Minority Report (6-part - 20-minutes in total) • Final Report (3:59) • Production Concepts / Storyboard Sequences • Three Trailers in HD! Image : Minority Report's heavily de-saturated style comes through extremely well on Blu-ray. The intentionally grainy appearance is most impressive - as are the rich black levels and wonderful contrast. I, honestly, can't see this looking any better than it does. While I saw this theatrically almost 8 years ago - and my memory is poor - but I was quickly reminded of the film's easily definable image. It all came right back. Whether the intentional visuals are meant to evoke noir, or not, the film should be commended for the bold attempt. This is a strong dual-layered transfer with an atmospheric video bitrate as it shares the entire first Blu-ray disc with nothing else. This transfer seems impeccable - representing the film with pin-point authenticity. Achieving the intended appearance so succinctly I'd have to say this image quality is quite perfect - as perfect as I have seen in a while. It appears to look EXACTLY as the film was meant to. If you aren't keen on the appearance blame the filmmakers not this pristine transfer. Audio : The DTS-HD Master 5.1 track at a healthy 3015 kbps certainly doesn't take a backseat to the strong video representation. It's power can surprise you right out of your seat and the abundant effect noises are spread aggressively through your surround system. John Williams' precise score seems a bit formal at times but responds to the Minority Report's kinetic flow crisply via the lossless track. So, it's all good news on the audio front, as well, and there are option subtitles available. My Momitsu has identified it as being a region A-locked disc. Extras : The supplements never end and it's great to see so many new extra features interactively accessible. It's impressive and seems like another small step to the future of production information, with the new format's capabilities, being able to swiftly waltz between pieces from Spielberg to Cruise and more. Most impressive is the multi-part The Future According to Steven Spielberg. but I also like the Previz Sequences and future commercials. All interesting and offered in HD. Plus we get all the supplements from the DVD including the Story to Screen, Stunts and lengthy Deconstructing Minority Report. It's probably a bit bloated but the film is the perfect type to establish and foster its strong niche following - thank Philip K. d*** methinks. Only a commentary seems missing but the film is too furiously packed to hinder it's dynamic pace with discussion - plus it's almost 2.5 hours. We applaud the new supplements and it bodes well for future Blu-ray releases. Let's keep on this track! BOTTOM LINE: What I liked about this are the 'B' movie elements. I believe this is paramount to being able to accept the film's occasional flaws with underdeveloped characters. It's a high-tech style-over-substance extravaganza. The action is beautifully paced augmenting some tight suspense. This is another example of Blu-ray altering my earlier impressions. I wasn't crazy about Minority Report theatrically nor when I revisited in on DVD - but, perhaps, with diminished expectations - I concentrated more on the film's strengths; a brisk-paced and inventive science-fiction adventure with Cruise's invincible leading-man physicality and justice-seeking everyman charm. It's an imaginative ride and the stacked Blu-ray package is as complete as I've seen in a while. |

QUOTE(fadthil @ Apr 9 2010, 07:59 PM) One of my favourite Jet's early movie... but looks a bit grainy. But all is forgiven because this one is a truly classic martial arts movie.... at least to me! Some comments from dvdbeaver:Just one question... the original chinese audio is in Cantonese (and Japanese) or just Mandarin like the old vhs/dvd? I'd very much prefer the former QUOTE ADDITION: Dragon Dynasty - Region FREE' Blu-ray - April 2010: I suppose we should consider it a victory that the Vivendi/Weinstein/Dragon Dynasty Blu-ray is progressive unlike the 1080i (interlaced) transfers they have recently put out (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and The Killer). This is dual-layered with a decent bitrate and it does look better - although also thin at times. Edge-enhancement isn't the culprit as far as I can tell. What can occasionally appear like grain also has a tendency to look noisy and uneven but all facets of visual appeal do improve - from richer colors, deeper blacks and there is even some depth in some scenes. Unfortunately, the higher resolution also brings out the light surface scratches to more prominence (see last large capture) than was noted on the Dragon Dynasty DVD although I suspect the source to be the same. Bottom line is the image quality has improved - more than I was anticipating. Here is reviews that compared blu-ray version with some other VCD and DVD version.But that is it for the improvement. No lossless audio (same Cantonese DD track) and the extras are simply duplicated from the 2008 2-disc DVD but now they are all accessible from the one Blu-ray disc. I should note the subtitle translation appears précised at times (see sample below - he neve4r says he is from the "Black Dragon Clan"). In fact, in my testing it matches the English DUB! We will continue exploring this issue but it looks like these are DUB-titles and, for many, this is a catastrophic mistake. My Momitsu has identified it as being a region FREE disc playable on Blu-ray machines worldwide. This is one of my favorite martial arts films but the improved visual presentation may not be enough of an enticement for those to upgrade who already own the 2008 DVD - where audio and extras have not been bettered and the subtitles précised. I'll admit I'm happy about the progressive transfer but the package limitations leave me ambivalent to recommend. ADDITION: Dragon Dynasty - Region 1 - NTSC October 08': Well, it only took 8 1/2 years! Short comment: the Dragon Dynasty is far in advance of both these previous releases... by a country mile. It offers a reasonable, although not perfect, image transfer (some noise is present). Original Cantonese audio option (as usual in no way does the English DUB match the English subtitles). Tons of extras including another stellar commentary from Bey Logan and a second disc with 5 interviews and an equal number of deleted scenes. An easy choice - Dragon Dynasty continues to bring us superior examples of the best this genre has to offer. I love this film and am so very glad to have revisited it in such an improved, and more theatrically accurate, digital presentation. For fans of Jet Li (touted as his best work) or the Wushu this is a no-brainer. Thanks Dragon Dynasty! ON THE OLD SD VS. THE VCD: Well, quite a mess. I strive at obtain some of my favorite films on DVD in their original format. Correct aspect ratio, correct audio, maybe some extras if possible. This film has squeaked onto the list, BUT there is no correct version out there! The Region 1 Dimension Home obviously has a better image than the Mei Ah 2 VCDs, but it is dubbed into English with no other audio option. The original audio format of this film is in Cantonese. I'm sure most of you know the importance of original spoken audio for the inflections, tone etc. of the dialogue . There is a French DVD in original Cantonese, but only French subtitles. Regarding the images, when we compare sometimes we can see the deficiencies (cropping etc. ) in the better version, but here the VCD is cropped (left edge), washed out and brightness boosted. The dual Chinese and English subtitles are burned in. I think the Home Dimension looks to have some vertical squeezing as faces can appear to be quite "scrunched" at times, but the colors are obviously superior, if overly red (look at skin tones!) as is the sharpness. No Extras on either. Hopefully someone will take Fist of Legend, highly regarded as the best martial arts film ever, and give it a respectful proper treatment to DVD. Soon. |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 10 2010, 09:29 AM) I guess you're big fan of UK BD's. I know em cost its cheaper compared to US BD's. I've also placed Avatar Steelbook from UK although Region B locked. I am not big fan for UK's BD la Not worried, cos the PowerDVD 10 can do wonders on the Region B BD. Support GB..! . I just want to buy cheaper BDs since, normally, there is not much different. I am just poor peasant  who want to save more. |

Around 50% of my BDs is US version, 30% UK version, 15% Hong Kong version and 5% Japanese version. So, still can't consider UK's BD fan.
