Echo Bridge fixes past errors, creates new ones with this double feature
Here's the rundown on this disc:
Single layer BD25 Blu-ray disc. Both films are on the same disc. Upon disc startup, a screen with silhouettes featuring the characters from each film lets you decide what film to watch. The menus for each film contain three choices: a play option, a chapter search, and the ability to switch films back and forth.
Video: Both films are presented in 1080p using the AVC MPEG-4 encode in their proper 2.35:1 aspect ratios.
Audio: Both films feature lossy English Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. Renaissance does not include its native French track, only the Miramax dub featuring Daniel Craig. There are no subtitle options or other tracks.
For a full breakdown of this release, keep your eyes peeled on the upcoming HighDefDigest review!
Just what I was looking for
I had been looking to get the Blueray version of Equilibrium for some time. I love this movie even though the critics didn't. I'm not going to critique the movie as I personally would give it 4.5 stars out of 5. But for someone looking for the Blueray verison of this movie, this is the ONLY version you should buy. The stand alone USA version Blueray DOES NOT have 5.1 DTS surround audio. It only has 2.0 audio. Seems most of the USA releases in Blueray of Equilibrium is worthless.
Granted this version is still not in the proper aspect ratio of 2.35, but it is the best USA release you can get of this movie. The movie has a 1.78 aspect ratio, but is in DTS 5.1 surround. Until Echo Bridge releases this movie in the proper aspect ratio, this is the best version of the movie you can get, hands down!!
Two Underrated Films
Love the action sequences on Equilibrium, for sure the Wachowski brothers would have seen this film and took reference of those scenes and mixed it with Hongkong action cinematics then applied it on The Matrix. A very good film with a nice idea behind it.
I have Renaissance on DVD which I think is one of the best underrated CGI animated film out there. So having it now on Blu Ray is just a bonus. Because this animated feature is done in black and white it's very clear people won't be able to tell any difference in picture resolution between the DVD against Blu Ray.
