Finally the Special Edition of DPS that I've been waiting for so long. The current barebone dvd has the same video transfer like the laserdisc release.

Thanks for the info hemisphere.

Now it's finally release. Time to dispose your barebone edition. With cool retrospective docu, commentary of Peter Weir, 5.1 DD, and trailer.

With more improvement than the previous release!

Its better than the previous release, talisman. If you'll follow some of the reviews online.

Got the dvd finally thru the kindness of talisman30. Its nice to reminisce again this film which I saw at the now defunct Sm North Preview Studio back in the late 80's. We were only less than 20 among the audience but there was a tremendous applause when Ethan Hawke started to stand from the chair to express his protest!

The retrospective docu was a blast from the past although Robin Williams is missing. Touchstone Home Video should use the old amaray cases. The dvd looks fragile and ugly in their new packaging. My same predicament from their special edition release of BEACHES.

The video looks wonderful and stunning in widescreen version. More improvement from the barebone release and the audio captures immensely the soothing musical score by Maurice Jarre.

I also saw this movie at SM North and I remember the audience applauding also near the end of screening.

This title will definitely be on my next shopping list.

very welcome bro. noticed nga that both audio and video transfer of this release is an improvement. also the ending still gives me the same old feeling as the first time i watched it.

Too bad bro, Robin Williams was missing on the retrospective docu and commentary. BTW, the artwork of the barebone release is much better than the special edition release.

robin williams has this notorious rep of not helping in either publicities or merchandising campaigns/efforts of some of his films. i though aladdin was an isolated case. pati pala ito.

Ok lang if he's STANLEY KUBRICK.
