Yup, this is the version with Billy Crawford.

Are the contents of this release similar to those of Region 1?

Interesting!!!

Is this available already?

This is supposed to come out before Batman Begins. I'm thinking of acquiring this one while waiting for the DE.

Excellent review there be Roger Ebert. It does make an arugment to having both versions in your collection. "...each one makes the other more interesting."

I've seen the film, and honestly, I liked Rene Harlin's version better. But don't listen to me, see the film for yourselves and let me know which version you liked better.

Jun_P · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 26, 2005 at 01:19 PM »

passed by Astroplus SM Makati yesterday, this title is still not yet available... Any news/updates?

firewired · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 28, 2005 at 06:45 AM »

Dominion finally released from Customs. Should be in stores this weekend.

espace · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 28, 2005 at 07:29 AM »

This was already on display at Astro Festival yesterday 10/27.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 29, 2005 at 09:52 AM »

Yup, saw it at Astro in SM Sucat last night for P425.

I just watched the Dominion DVD. I like the Harlin version much better. Less scary nga itong Dominion. As for the DVD itself, this has got to be one of the poorest transfers I've seen. Clear naman yung picture. Yun nga lang, ang daming white specks throughout the film. The sound was okay, but not as busy surround-wise as The Exorcist The Beginning. You don't get to see Billy Crawford's natural face because naka-prosthetics siya palagi. Overall, an alright film, but if you're not an Exorcist fan or an avid DVD collector, you can pass this one out.
