The Adjustment Bureau is in 1.85:1 aspect ratio, should fill up the screen of your HDTV nicely. rclxms.gif

dats true, uk is much cheaper & faster delivery but i just personally dont fancy uk release; not only because of region issue. the thick casing & nippled cover doesn't help either... in comparison between both regions av quality, they're more or less. so, to each their own i guess... smile.gif

btw before i-parcel, my u.s. amazon std shipping delivery record was 6 days! nod.gif

Plus, another issue with UK releases, for some, are the ratings logos from BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) and IFCO (Irish Film Censors Office) appearing on the front cover art, and even on the spine of the packaging.

US releases only have the ratings indicated at the back, as they are voluntary and not legally required for distribution, unlike in the UK and Australia. German releases also have the ratings on the front but French releases usually don't.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

But I guess if you look at it that way, it may actually be OK? brows.gif

Although it is voluntary for filmmaker to decide whether want to submit film for rating or not, but for theatrical release in US, unless filmmaker only intend to show his/her film in very limited theaters, otherwise their have to send their film to MPAA for rating.

low, this is indeed true for theatrical release. However as this is a thread for Blu-ray releases, it's worth noting that the voluntary status is apparent when there are many US Blu-ray releases which are Unrated such as The Dirty Dozen, The Poseidon Adventure, Basic Instinct, Robocop, The Stepfather: Unrated Director's Cut, Magnificent Seven (upcoming), Fringe (the TV Series) etc and several having both the Theatrical and Unrated versions like Robin Hood and The Eagle. rclxms.gif The Unrated status sometimes even becomes a selling point for the disc.
