[Raskolnikov]

Det er ikke sikker hvornår endnu men....
Ja det gjorde det jo ikke lettere at vente på at hoppe på HD vognen!

Lad os håbe at den også udkomme også i Europa, så "coming Soon" kun kan gælde for USA og så kan der let gå over et år før vi se dem her.

Der er masser af god BD udgiveler, men kun i USA.

Der bliver desværre ikke satse så meget på BD i Europa, som der bliver satse på HD-DVD, de første rene Europa HD-DVD udgivlser er komme, og der ingen rene Europes BD udgivlser.

Desværre er vi kommet lidt i klæme i lille Danmark, da man næste rent satser på BD (selv om HD-DVD er størst i Europa), der bliver næste ikke udsendt HD-DVD titler her, hvis man gå i Fona, Blockbuster, EL-giganten og Laserdisker her det kun rent BD film der bliver soldt og udvalget er god småt og mange gange er filme samme sted som PS3 spil.

Så grunden til at vi har fået BD film til Europa er kun fordi at Sony PS3 er kommet på market.

Men hvis man tager en tur til Tyskland er der et stort udvalg af HD-DVD og BD.

Er der bliver stort set ingen forskel på HD DVD og BD udgaverne:
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award-winning achievement (Special Visual Effects) is an allegorical puzzle on the evolution of man and a compelling drama of man vs. machine. Featuring a stunning meld of music and motion, the film was also Oscar® nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits the prehistoric age-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Stomping, whopping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Derby-topped hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has a good time – at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Kubrick’s future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess’ novel. Controversial when first released, the film garnered three Academy Award nominations – Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Its power still entices, shocks and mesmerizes today.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Kubrick’s daring and controversial last film is a bracing psychosexual journey through a haunting dreamscape, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage – and may ensnare him in a murder mystery – after his wife’s (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. His graceful tracking shots, rich colors and startling images are some of the bravura traits that show Kubrick as a filmmaker for the ages.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
A superb ensemble falls in for Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. The scathing indictment of a film was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Screenplay. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D’Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood) and Cowboy (Arliss Howard) are some of the Marine recruits experiencing boot-camp hell under the punishing command of the foul-mouthed Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermy). The action is savage, the story unsparing, and the dialogue is spiked with scathing humor.

    * 1080P 1.78:1 Widescreen
    * English Dolby True HD 5.1 Surround
    * English, French and Spanish 5.1 Surround (Dolby Digital on BD, Dolby Digital Plus on HD DVD)

    * Theatrical trailer


The Shining (1980)
From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. The Shining is the director’s epic tale of a man in a snowbound hotel descending into murderous delusions. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson (“Heeeere’s Johnny!”) stars as Jack Torrance, who’s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd).

Så skal vi ud og havde den igen, denne gang i HD, bliver spænde at en test meller BD og HD-DVD versione, DVD version er slet ikke dum, bliver spænde om HD version bliver beder (og en god film at test pj. og TV sort på) og om man trække en fra en 70mm. eller en 35mm. kopi.

Lidt sjovt info om Stanley Kubrick´s 2001.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Sp ... ssey_(film)

Bl.a. er den optaget i 70mm. 2.21:1 aspect ratio, med six-track stereo.

Det var den gange de var sjovt at gå i biografen, vi ser ikke så mange 70mm. film, her til lands, det er hvis kun Impial Bio, der stadig kan vise film i 70mm. (hvor mange gange de gør det er et spørsmål).

Det er først, når 4K bliver normal fra optagelse til biografer, at vi begynde os at nærme os 70mm.
