Romero's movies in Blu-ray

[Palanthian]

Didn't see where anyone had mentioned it, but today George Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead came out in Blu-ray. I haven't picked it up yet, but I can't wait to see Dawn/Day in full 1080p glory (Been forever since I was a member of this forum. lol Last time I was here was when we were trying desperately to find the live action commercials for Resident Evil 2. lol)

sorry, double post

Indeed, I am dying to see Dawn in high-def but the package has some very underwhelming extras.

Some good reviews posted here: Blu-Ray.com DVD Review.com I think it's worth the $20 if you have a hi-def set-up, even without the extensive extras of the Ultimate box set. A majority of the disc space is probably being allocated to the movie.

[Palanthian]

As I did with the dvd...I'll undoubtedly double-dip this version with the uber-ultimate edition later. lol

I'm going to buy this, and I don't have a player yet. Completionist's Rationale.

DAWN OF THE DEAD was the first movie I ever bought on DVD. ...in 1997, two years before I got a DVD player. Imported it and everything. Go figure.

DAWN was the first movie that I bought on DVD when I got a DVD player sometime around 1997. Since then, I'd bought four different versions on DVD--two of them imports, one of which I couldn't even watch because it was PAL and that first DVD player wasn't multi-format. Prior to DVD, I had three versions of DAWN on VHS and one version on LD... without ever owning a laserdisc player. Being that I don't have an HD set-up yet, so I suppose I'm a little late buying that new Blu-Ray release.

Oh sweet. Just read of fan review that said that it includes the extended and european versions too

ive allready got it on dvd so i dont see the point in buying it again. -though the UMD version for bus trips is damn tempting

"The Blu-Ray version comes also with an uncompressed 5.1 channel PCM audio track, offering you the best possible presentation ever..." This new 5.1 mix probably sounds unbelievable. And that's only the audio. This is how you beat the "public domain" hucksters to the punch: release NOLD '68 in state-of-the-art high def and you'll have to board up the windows and doors to keep the consumers away.

Oh sweet. Just read of fan review that said that it includes the extended and european versions too Negative. Dawn of the Dead for Blu-ray only includes the theatrical version of DotD. I would know, I own both Dawn and Day of the Dead on Blu-ray. If anyone has any questions, just let me know.

[DubiousComforts]

If anyone has any questions, just let me know. So how does it look?

From what I've been reading, the audio mix ups in DAY OF THE DEAD have not been fixed for the surround sound track but they have included the original, un-botched, mono mix for the purists.
