This one might buy at this price

My kids has been asking me to buy this title

dunforgiven · « **Reply #3 on:** Oct 18, 2005 at 12:58 PM »

900 bucks! that's too steep for me. Why can't they mimic the 499/550 pricing being done in the recent releases??

Review:

Inventor, astronaut and scientist Dr. Reed Richards' (Ioan Gruffudd) lifelong dream is close to being realized. He is spearheading a trip to outer space, to the center of a cosmic storm. There he hopes to unlock the secrets of the human genetic codes for the benefit of all humanity. Extensive government grant cutbacks nearly dashed the visionary's hopes of the historic flight, until Reed accepted a financing deal with his old college rival, Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon), now a billionaire industrialist. Reed's crew for the mission includes his best friend, astronaut Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis); Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Von Doom's director of genetic research and Reed's ex-girlfriend; and Sue's hot-headed younger brother, pilot Johnny Storm (Chris Evans). With benefactor Von Doom in tow, the four set off for the exploration of a lifetime. The mission is uneventful ?until Reed discovers a miscalculation of the speed of the approaching storm. Within minutes, the event threshold is upon them. The space station is engulfed by turbulent clouds of cosmic radiation which genetically transforms the crew. Their DNA is irrevocably altered…and so is their future.

Back on earth, the effects of the exposure are quickly revealed. Reed gains the ability to stretch and contort his body into any shape he can imagine and, as leader of the group, is given the name Mr. Fantastic; Sue is able to render herself invisible and to create and project powerful force fields as Invisible Woman; Johnny becomes known as The Human Torch, as he can now engulf his body in flames and take flight at will; and Ben, whose freakish transmutation is the most shocking, becomes an orange-colored, rock-like, superhumanly strong creature, The Thing.

Together, they turn tragedy into triumph and catastrophe into coalition, using their unique and formidable powers to thwart the evil plans of their now steely-eyed, iron-fisted nemesis Dr. Doom and to protect the citizens of New York City against any threat that may arise. Astronauts. Superheroes. Celebrities. To the world, they are the Fantastic Four!

Have you guys seen this article at DVDActive that compares the HK R3 with the UK R2 version? It's very weird! The main feature itself is a little different in the two versions.

I suppose our version will be the same as the HK release? But the issue with that is this: the Philippine theatrical release wasn't the Hong Kong version, but the UK version. I remember that in the version shown in local theaters, the Reed-Sue rekindling happened at a walk and not at a planetarium, and that in the finale, Mr. Fantastic redirected water from the hydrant at Dr. Doom. I don't remember Reed stretching during the proposal, though.

It's quite rare for a major commercial film release to have alternate theatrical versions. This is interesting enough for me to double dip for two different-region versions.

Does anyone have the R1 release... and can you please tell us if it's the same as the R2 or the R3 described above?

Hmmm... the UK CD-WoW site is some pesos cheaper than the HK site
I like the digipack version. Thinking of getting one from the HK site

I'll forego the set with figurines. I'm running out of storage space with all those figures from previous sets

hemisphere · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 17, 2005 at 02:09 PM »

digipak is no longer available from cdwow site. the digipak is limited to initial release only. the only way you can get the digipak edition is through the LE set or through some online stores.

hemisphere · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 17, 2005 at 03:51 PM »

has anyone seen this in local stores?

are we going to have a surprise premium release "again" locally? in digipak perhaps?

aszamora · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 17, 2005 at 08:12 PM »

Passed by Video City SM Manila tonight and they already have the Fantastic 4 2-disc DVD for rental but none for sale yet. Wala pa raw silang stock na pambenta. I'm not sure what to call it pero Scanavo yata iyong case kasi pareho ng sa Star Wars R3 DVDs. The clerk doesn't know what the price would be pero malamang P900 iyon kasi 2-disc.

Eh? If that's the case there's no reason to get it from CD-WoW then. Maybe for the DTS track in case it's not available locally?
I guess they haven't modified their site yet. It still says "Digipak Available Now!"

hemisphere · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 18, 2005 at 01:38 AM »

yes, they havent modified their site. email sent to me this morning when i inquired about the digipak case:

----------------------

Thank you for getting back to me although I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

It may be possible that stock of the digi-pak versions had actually been exhausted after yours had been dispatched to you although should you find that when the items arrive, they are not the desired editions, again, please do feel free to return the to us for a full refund upon receipt.

Apologies once again for any inconvenience caused as it certainly wasn’t our intention and thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

To answer my own question now that I have the Philippine R3, the answer is NO.

Unlike most FOX R3/VIVA releases, which have Chinese, Thai and Tagalog subtitles, the Fantastic 4 released locally only has English, Tagalog and Korean subtitles, and the main feature is as described for the UK-R2 version in the DVDActive article I linked to. Wala yung planetarium scene.

But since the planetarium scene is included among the deleted scenes of Disc Two anyway, I won't have to double dip anymore.
