I had no idea why are you so hurry write a report to Amazon where everyone is asking you waiting for just another few more days.

Estimate reach on 21/Feb/2011 is their timing not local here, yesterday is not even yet 21th for them. Some more you need to count delay may due to custom issue and some transportation issue and etc.

You will only get such standard respond if you report that earlier where didn't much help in overall.

As promise, here the review in details.



Trainspotting is by far one of the masterpieces of Danny Boyle direct film beside his award winning slumdog millionaire. Great directing and strong acting has bring out the beauty of drugs in this film. Some may find it over beauty the use of drugs, but for me this is the best part making such wonderful film.

Packaging
Thanks Universal Studio make this better packaging than any release at the moment worldwide. Love the Quersteelbook design and the use of one of the origin poster as cover.

Beside the BD, they is another orange paper disc with main actor/actress face + some dialog from the film beginning. This part is kinda cool.

Picture Quality
From net review in overall, I find all the transfer quality is not good, but in this latest release it seems far better where I give 4 star for it picture quality transfer. The release is squeeze everything in BD50 rather than previous version only in single layer BD25.

The transfer is clean, but they do some slightly jerking in certain scenes, not much just few which still in acceptable level as this is considere a budget film during filming on year 1996.

Overall the whole film is free of grains, only a small grains appear in outdoor scenes. Slighly DNR issue is spot but not affecting your viewing experience of the film in overall.

Color & tones is perfectly render, this is by far the best quality I ever seen in trainspotting.

Audio Quality
Agains thanks Universal Studio decide transfer the audio in lossless quality DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 which gains perfect audio experience for the entire film as audio is important in this film where it help pleasing the overall view.

This is another great part for this release rather than UK release which only lossy audio track is included.

I give full mark fot it audio transfer.

Extra Features
Some of the extra footage is the same as you seen in 1st release DVD edition, they do added some interviewing on year 2003 footage in this release. I check the contents it seems same as others release as well. All extra features in SD.

Beside this, I like to point out the disc is region FREE which means play everywhere and the main menu is option for you to choose what languages to start of, means they is no worried on menu selection.

Overall I give this a must have for fans that apprieciate this film.

I check around, I think the Amazon US & UK edition of "Saving Private Ryan" is the exact same transfer.

But I will choose "Sapphire Series" as the name look cool

Anyone got "Triple Play" or "Double Play" of The Prince of Persia Steelbook" HMV Exclusive UK Edition that plan to sold off.. or extra copy?

Try at other BD-Player, sometimes is sensitivity issue.

Example I face before, I can't proper playback Spartacus: Blood & Sand Ep 2 Disc 1 in my Samsung BD-C5500 but play without single issue on Sony BD S370.

I want all! is it all Region FREE? You order from?

I won't get any studio ghibli animation that was release by Disney as Disney always alter their origin color tone, I prefer origin release by studio ghibli from Japan itself.

Actually all animation by studio ghibli tones more yellowish but Disney always change to more Disney look tones.

it is hardly tell via written, you need to see it then you know. Ghibli firm has it own color that look like ghibli work, Disney just change it to look more like it was release by Disney not ghibli as Disney has changing the color temperature. It still do alive but it lost the actual look and feel.
