Second Sight Dawn of the Dead 4k Ultra HD Limited Edition Set

[Neil]

... They haven't announced it yet, but I'd guess it'd be the three versions of the movie plus the extra features disc and that's all. I'd presume that the three soundtrack CDs, the two books, and the super duper packaging would be Limited Edition only. So if you do want that LE version, crack on before they soon run out. Again, can't justify £80

Well, I read the novelisation years ago and it was shite. The soundtrack I can listen to any time on YouTube. I'm listening to it right now. Most of the documentaries I've either seen or will know the information they contain already. And pffft to packaging. All I want really is the film in its best possible condition. So, the non LE will do me just fine and I can spend the rest in the pub... ...oh wait!

forgive me for being out of the loop, but has there been any word of a release on my side of the pond?

forgive me for being out of the loop, but has there been any word of a release on my side of the pond? Not yet. But if there's a fresh 4k scan of all three cuts it's almost a certainty it'll be picked up by someone in the US fairly soon. Maybe even Criterion?

Holy shit, my box set just showed up! It came from Thailand... bizarre...

[shootemindehead]

Good to hear. But the shipping warehouse being different to the country where the site is (allegedly) based is pretty common. I've ordered stuff online in the UK and US and the actual item was shipped from elsewhere.

[MinionZombie]

Maybe it came via Thailand? I've seen reports from other folks that have had weird delivery routes for their items, too. Anyway - good that it's turned up - enjoy the set, it's bodacious!

cult classic finally remastered to 4K by Second Sight. It’s amazing sets with all available cuts of the film and many bonuses. Packing is nice, especially the box itself with sturdy and well made cardboard. Consistency of artworks between digipack and books is great, but there are also 2 major disappointments. First of all same artwork on 2 digipacks and lack of pictures/arts under the discs leave the feeling that it’s rushed into production without final touches. It was delayed many times and there was plenty of time to make it perfect. Anyway it’s the best set up to date for this film without any doubts.

I moved recently so I've been waiting until I got my new setup sorted before I jumped back in with this set. I've got a Dolby Atmos set up now and I have to say the 5.1 mix on the Theatrical cut is very disappointing. What was the point? There's hardly any surround - - - Updated - - - I'm still astonished at the picture quality ����

I've got a Dolby Atmos set up now and I have to say the 5.1 mix on the Theatrical cut is very disappointing. What was the point? There's hardly any surround The film was never made with surround sound, though, so it'd just be a cobbled together mix after-the-fact, and those never work, for me at least. All the additional new sound effects stand out like sore thumbs and are really distracting (e.g. smashing glass in Jaws, the awful replacement gun sound effects in The Terminator). I hate audio track remixes. Just clean up what's there and present it as it was presented before (or take a mono track and make it stereo but nothing more).
