Looks much better than the UK BD.

Much more fine details resolved in that face comparison, more accurate color too (other one looks slightly washed out in comparison.)

That being said which one is the correct AR? The UK one or the Japanese one?

Anyway, looks great.

The domestic DVD was 2.35:1, so I would assume that the Japanese BD is also more accurate than the UK one in that regard.

This is a day one purchase on Blu-ray for me. Far from a perfect movie, but I can't stop liking it.

Nice grain structure. More fine detail. Gotta have it.

Only bonus feature I found was a 4.5min feature called "Finding Equilibrium":

MPEG2 Video 720x480 (4:3) 29.97fps 9000Kbps

Couple trailers, but that's about it.

The grain is very good, and looks fantastic in motion. Love it.

Sorry, just to clarify--are these trailers for EQUILIBRIUM or other random titles?

I know this thread's discussion is mainly about the UK and Japanese releases.
But for anyone interested, here is a link to the Canadian release.
(Be warned though, I've checked the disc at a small B&M that broke street date, and the box says 2.35:1, but the movie itself is 1.78:1).

So once again, Alliance screwed up?

Yup!

I may still pick this up on Tuesday though, just because of the low price.
The PQ looked fantastic on this version though, and the audio is DTS-MA.

I really really hate Alliance!

gaaaaaah they screwed it up? Thus far I have avoided the Alliance titles... but if this is cheap enough I might pick it up as it's a bit of a guilty pleasure type movie. but... MEH!

So I guess Universal had nothing to do with the Blu-ray and Alliance took care of everything, which means no extras (as usual) and no OAR. Not even a modern, 2009 home menu I'm sure (have you seen The Cell?)I'm pissed!

Actually, no there are a few extras....and a home menu for once.
Also, I believe that there are 2 commentary tracks and one featurette - 'Finding Equilibrium', plus a trailer......but alas, no OAR!

I sure hope they don't screw up the OAR on the US release.

The Japanese version looks great.

Are there even any plans on a US release that you've heard about at all?

I am very happy with my Japanese Import. While it did cost $55, it was completely worth it. TrueHD and OAR... can't complain!

I'm just making an assumption that that it will eventually be released in the US someday.

- I've never purchased anything from the Japanese Amazon site, but it is listed there. Not that the movie's name over there is Rebellion.

Last time I was looking at Japanese discs, www.hmv.co.jp ended up being the cheapest if you wanted more than one Blu-ray.

They have an English option (so does Amazon, though some things will still go untranslated).

$52.75 USD ~= $58.24 CAD

Shipping: Free

At the time with the Exchange Rate I paid $55 CAD for it.
