Excellent

WoW! In HD this movie will be amazing! :eek:

The big worm in HD.. NICE. :D

Another double (triple) dip for me!

Double dip for me.

Cary

Heh...not for me but I'm sure they've got more planned, a nice sign though that it's Dolby TrueHD!! :)

I just hope they don't ease off the pedal just because Paramount and Dreamworks came on board - was really wanting to have American Pie or Scarface this year, but each time they make these release announcements, it's something else, looking like thats not gonna happen. =/

I never bought this on DVD, but I always loved this flick. Assuming Universal doesn't botch the transfer, I'll pick it up.

awesome. Tremors with TrueHD.

Huge guilty pleasure movie for me. Love that its going to be in TrueHD but I'd like a commentary to go along with it, okay Universal? :)

They're going to likely save any big announcements for CEDIA at this point since it is right around the corner.

Great movie for HD.

Hope you're right!!! I know they "mentioned" way earlier this year American Pie was coming, might have even said this year, but then they never officially announced it. :::crosses fingers::: ;)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......... Just b/c it looks great in HD won't get me watch a terrible movie over and over . That's what Discovery HD is for..

Hope you're right!!! I know they "mentioned" way earlier this year American Pie was coming, might have even said this year, but then they never officially announced it. :::crosses fingers::: ;)

I've seen American Pie show up on several "rumored" December lists. I think you'll see that one before the year is out.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......... Just b/c it looks great in HD won't get me watch a terrible movie over and over .

You're welcome to your opinion, but I think you're in the minority with this movie. This is a really fun, entertaining flick.

Childhood fave... def have to pick this one up! And it's coming out on my b-day too! It's destiny...

NO WAY!

Dammit.

What the hell is the HD DVD camp trying to do to me, bankrupt me?!?

Excellent!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......... Just b/c it looks great in HD won't get me watch a terrible movie over and over . That's what Discovery HD is for..Hey hows that fried PS3 doing...did Sony help you out with your dead console?

This is a fantastic movie on a terrible format, get your facts straight! :cool:

I didn't see it up for pre-order on Amazon as of yet. Any other dealer have it up?

Graboids!

Does anyone know if this film has been remastered lately? I know they've done a couple of double-dips in the past... Thanks!

This will be a triple dip for me. :D

Nice

This is a fantastic movie on a terrible format, get your facts straight! :cool:

I think you're on the wrong board.

And get your facts straight...Tremors is an excellent movie on an excellent format! And when BD has been reduced to UMD Part II, feel free to come back and play. :p

Hey hows that fried PS3 doing...did Sony help you out with your dead console?

Not looking good, they are helpful in trying to help but it doesn't look good being that I don't have a recipt and it was a promotional giveaway. I will keep people informed in the BD section.

As for Tremors it might be a good movie (matter of opinion), but it just seems like there are a lot of other catalogue releases that are much better. How about Psycho (or any Hitchcock for that matter), Lock Stock, Scarface, or Cloak & Dagger (great kids flick). Not to mention Jaws and Jurasic Park which I doubt we will see.

I know Universal has a ton of their catalogue out there but there are still a few more that we haven't seen yet.

Universal Studios Announced 'Tremors' On HD DVD, this Nov 20

Valentine McKee: "This valley is just one long smorgasbord."

Earl Bassett: "D*** it, listen to me. I'm older and wiser."
Valentine McKee: "Yeah, well you're half right."

Burt Gummer: "Guess you broke into the wrong God d*** rec room, didn't ya!"

Super!!! Definitely worth a triple dip here!!! :D

Isn't _Scarface_ getting the 25th anniversary treatment next year or something? That's why I'd heard they were holding it back...

I'm in. Always liked this movie. And like the TrueHD track.

WoW! In HD this movie will be amazing!

look at the studio ! look at the studio ! it's universal ! the whole looking amazing thing is not guaranteed, despite what it says on the box. best to wait for some reviews to come through first.

I just got through telling my kids about this movie after watching Dune and discussing giant worms. At the time I told them I was hoping Tremors would come out on HD DVD so they could see some real nasty giant worms and Voila! here we are less than a month later and it'll be here by Thanksgiving. Can't beat that.

Great Movie, one of my favs from way back when. If the PQ is near as good as "The Thing", watched it last night, it's gonna be great..... and the sound too! awesome.

This movie is gonna be kickass in HD, pardon my french. :D

I can watch this movie over and over and over. Michael Gross' character is f'n hilarious...

This is so ordered!

Awesome. I can't wait to hear the AQ on this one. :D

I'll definitely get this one. I just hope Universal does a nice transfer.

"Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn't you, you bastard!"

Saw Tremors in Highdef over a year ago on Universal HD. At the time, it was probably the most breath taking HD experience (movie wise) I had seen up til then. This was Cable HD low bit-rate mpeg...so a nice high bit VC-1 encode should maintain atleast what I saw, which as I said...was Breath Taking! Lossless audio ta' boot....w00t!

Love the movie, will be first dip for me. :)

Graboids!
Gonna be sorry we don't give it a name...
"Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn't you, you bastard!"
One of the best lines ever delivered on film.

This is simply one fun movie, funnier than all hell, a great cast, this movie is Perfection (giggle).

I never bought this on DVD, but I always loved this flick. Assuming Universal doesn't botch the transfer, I'll pick it up.

+1

Love the movie, will be first dip for me. :)
#5 dip for me. :eek: Twice on laserdisc, and twice on DVD. First DVD release was non-anamorphic and second release was a box set that contained all 4 films. Yea - I guess I kinda like the film.

Yeah I will have to pick this up must have watched it 100 times as a kid. I wouldn't worry about the transfer on this one as from what I remember it's pretty much all daytime scenes, bright and in the desert should make for some really good PQ.

If the HD-DVD uses the same source as the UHD broadcast... Look out. EE city. Big Lebowski quality. :(

I thought Big Lebowski looked pretty damn good during the beach funeral scene.

Ive seen both Tremors one and two in HD via broadcast. Tremors one looked horrendous, loaded with edge enhancement:(
I love this movie and hope it gets the treatment many of us would hope to see it deserves but I have a feeling it will be shelf filler, looking slightly better then DVD. I hope I am wrong, one of my favs!

This a very fun flick and one of my favorite Kevin Bacon films. He just seems to be Val in real life to me as well, perfect casting.:)

Triple dip for me as well! Bring it on!

Tremors one looked horrendous, loaded with edge enhancement

it's a lock then. universal loves that stuff (ee).

people shouldn't be so keen to pre-order this title. it's universal. quality is NOT guaranteed. hold onto your money. wait for the reviews to come in.

I thought Big Lebowski looked pretty damn good during the beach funeral scene.

can't remember that specific scene, but this disc was pretty rough going. real bottom of the HD barrel type stuff. it makes me so angry they charge us a premium for old catalog product and give us warmed over left overs (old HD master).

can't remember that specific scene, but this disc was pretty rough going. real bottom of the HD barrel type stuff.

The part where they spread Donny's ashes.

I definitely didn't think it's as bad as you are making it out to be.

WOOT! Tremors in HD! Definitely a Double Dip for me!

The part where they spread Donny's ashes.

I definitely didn't think it's as bad as you are making it out to be.

Your both probably watching this on different apposing size displays. I just read a post where Joe Kane said the authors are using monitors way to small notice EE and other artifacts and is trying to get them to author using FP on big screens. I hope this happens. Universals track record is one that would benefit from this.

It's not that the monitors are small now. It's that the monitors were small when these ancient EE-ridden transfers were done. They may have been decent for a downconversation to dvd but they don't cut it in their native res.

Tremors II: "Aftershocks" is on HBO this afternoon at 2:30pm if anyone wants to watch for PQ reference. The broadcast of "Tremors" that I saw was not as good as Tremors II.

"The Look and Sound of Perfection, Nevada"


I'm all over this one!

I cannot wait. I hope the rest of the franchise comes out on HD DVD. As well as the TV series, at least in DVD.

"The Look and Sound of Perfection, Nevada"
Hey, no fair, I used the Perfection joke earlier and didn't get any takers...

MEC2

I watched the HBO version. It looked like up converted SD. I hope Universals HD Disc
looks better then HBOs version or Ill be passing. Im going to sit tight and let a few of you guys be the beta testers. Hopefully it will be good news.

I am up for this :D

Now where are the other 3 ??????

You know where has billed my card and is about to ship TREMORS on HD DVD to me. Very cool.

Yeah mine shipped as well, should have it on Monday.:D

Any early reviews for this yet?

Should have it by in my mailbox today. I will take a look at it tonight and post my thoughts, FWIW.

bleh. Tremors for what, $25? $30? vs. all 4 Tremors movies for $13.xx at walmart on dvd...in widescreen.

Are you suggesting purchasing SD DVD?:confused: Why in the world would anybody do that?;)

He's making a valid point

HD DVD software prices suck

They are decent online at vendor like Amazon, but even then some new releases for $28 is ridiculous. The Jurassic Park Trilogy on DVD is only $14 at Amazon, when/if it is released on HD DVD Universal is definitely gonna lay the smack down at $30 a pop for each of 'em.

I agree whole heartedly I just can't bring myself to watch SD DVDs anymore. It's a real vicious cycle they've got me and so many others trapped in. :)

Gotta agree. Two months ago I would have been in the "HD is for 2001, SD is good for Tremors" frame of mind. But now I tend to feel that almost any movie I enjoy watching is worth enjoying in HD. I really like Tremors and I think I'll make the upgrade.

Now if I ever find myself buying an HD-DVD version of C.H.U.D. I hope my friends care enough to stage an intervention... :D

Any reviews up for this yet or has anybody on here taken a look at it? I'm wanting to get it but wonder how the video quality is.

Well I didn't get my copy today, should be here tomorrow for sure. The holiday must have delayed this a day longer than I anticipated.

He's making a valid point

No it isn't. It is a completely ignorant and useless point, especially in a HD DVD forum.

SD DVD is not HD DVD and comparing them on any level is ridiculous.

SD DVD is not HD DVD and comparing them on any level is ridiculous.

Comparing HD DVD to the format it intends to replace is COMPLETELY valid, and I would really like you to justify why it's not, since you're now calling me ignorant. Pricing at a mass acceptance level is not only dictated by the merits of the format itself, but how it compares to what already exists, even if that is SD.

Getting back to Tremors on HD DVD, I'm really looking forward to it. It's one of those enjoyable little sci-fi cult flicks that are always welcome to me. Heck, besides the first Die Hard, this is one of my most wanted HD titles in recent weeks.

I just hope Universal sees fit to release Tremors II: Aftershocks on HD DVD sometime in the future as well. It does a very admirable job of trying to offer something new while staying true to the first film.

I hope Tremors ends up as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. There are a lot of movies I want to get it and no way my wallet is going to be able to handle it all.

I wish my stocking were stuffed with $25 HD-DVDs. That is more in the price-range of a regular present for me. :)

Welcome to being an early adopter. The pricing is very close to what DVD was back when it was first released.

I say stocking stuff since it will actually fit in the stocking. :D Only bad thing about that idea is so do diamond rings, and necklaces..:eek:

Well, it's a bad non-anamorphic NTSC, 10-year-old transfer on DVD or a new HD version. Not too hard to pick one will be better. If you're really concerned about the price I'm sure Tremors can be picked up on second-hand VHS if you look around. You could save yourself a good $10 on those overpriced DVDs.

LOL!

Seriously though, he has a good point that it is over priced, but the point of it being just as expensive as DVDs were in the beginning is also valid.

I don't know, I paid $19.95 for mine from Amazon with free two day shipping( not 25 to 30). Well worth it to me.

Your general point is valid, but I just wanted to correct the facts a bit. The transfer of Tremors (in the 4-movie pack) is a more recent one from a couple of years back, and it's anamorphic.

My copy came in today.

This is a very good catalog upgrade from Universal.

The VC-1 encode has a good 3d "pop" to it and there is little if any dirt or scratches.

If you are a fan of a film, it's worth getting.

awesome. Tremors with TrueHD.

Maybe this time we'll be able to make out where Earl (Fred Ward) says, "Beer is for adults..."

I've seen this movie over 500 times and I only spotted 4.5 mistakes. Yes, I'll be buying it the day it comes out, unless it comes out in a $36 combo disc. While Kevin Bacon doesn't think too highly of this film he hasn't had the same type of chemistry with any other actor in any other film he has made. imo.

Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) for the win.

You could save yourself a good $10 on those overpriced DVDs.

IIRC Tremors on DVD is going for $9.99 or $14.95 for the trilogy, $20 for the quad.
Tremors dvd, $5: http://www.hotmoviesale.com/store/productView.aspx?idProduct=649&ec=1&ProdID=39&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc

All I can think is " BOX SET "

I have all 4 on DVD and would rather buy a boxed set of all of them than just one. BUT I will buy this first one regardless :rolleyes:

BTW I actually rather liked the last one where it was set in the old west. But the first one is my favourite. :D

Very good review. Now they know how to take some great HD screenshots!! Can't wait for my copy to come in.

I should have my copy of Tremors tomorrow.
