This is one truly "wtf-moment". I just saw that Stalingrad was released on Blu-ray in Sweden today. It's in stock and there hasn't been any anouncement at all and it wasn't there yesterday. Well I've ordered mine and it will arrive on monday. I'll give you screens and bdinfo.

Specs:

1.85:1

DTS HD-MA (German)

No english subs.

Region B (not confirmed though)

 

[Bill C.]

I've only heard about this film in passing, but have wanted to see it...definitely let us know about that region bit.

 

[spectator]

Wow! I'll await your report with thanks.

 

[AmishFury]

if you come across region free with english subs let me know... i'm tired of non-anamorphic DVD

Saw many years ago.

Very good, as I recall.

 

[dvdmike007]

One of those movies that I cannot remember if I have seen it or not

 

[foughman]

I just got it. Haven't seen it but looked it through quickly. Looks like it has a bit of DNR but looks good overall. Not fantastic but not bad either. There are details and good colors. I can do a DVD/Blu-ray-comparison tomorrow.

Good catch! There was an extended cut recently aired in HD in Germany. From the rips I've seen of that, it suffered from some moderate DNR too.

 

[rr6966]

Those screen shots look way better than the DVD version.

 

[foughman]

Confirmed region B.

I've seen it now. Good video but still it's pretty DNR:ed. Audio is good aswell.

 

[16x9enhanced]

is this movie in English?

I can't remember.

are there English subs if so?

thanks

It's not in English and there are no English subs- sorry. The arrival of this release does bode well for other international releases that may feature subs, though.

 

[jedi.master.dre]

I was thinking of picking up a copy on SD DVD because I want the film in my collection. Any idea when this will be available on blu-ray? The DVD will end up costing $30, a newly released BD would probably not be that much.

and the DVD is non-anamorphic

I concur. I'll be watching the U.K. for one. I'd bet it releases there before North America. I really doubt it'll release in the U.S. , period. Europa, Uropa is the only hope, I suspect...??? The film doesn't have much traction in the U.S. I could picture Criterion or TwiLight Time getting a hold of it's rights, maybe...?

 

[Bill C.]

A Region A Stalingrad BD is theoretically due out next Tuesday, January 8 . A cursory check doesn't turn up anything with regards to specs, so for all we know it could simply be a port of the Swedish BD with English subtitles...

 

[raoul_duke]

The BD.com screens look dire.

This is a fairly good movie.

However, I don't know if it is worth $25....


For a better movie about the Battle for Stalingrad, try Enemy at the Gates:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215750/

 

[Rachael Bellomy]

I've never seen Stalingrad on film but judging by the DVD, it's a gritty, ugly looking film. I sure don't wanna pay $25 for it. If it's on sale for some less, I'll buy a copy. I don't think that Enemy At The Gates is a better film but it does have stars that I like and lays out the Russian system well. I've watched Enemy At The Gate more recently than Stalingrad. My memory about Stalingrad may be a bit rusty...?
