Author Topic: "Fantastic Four" - R3 different from other regions? (Read 10082 times)

hemisphere · « **Reply #30 on:** Dec 18, 2005 at 03:33 PM »

mr. hankey, which region versions have the same contents?

R1 = R3 Phil
R2 = R3 HK

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #31 on:** Dec 18, 2005 at 03:50 PM »

Even within a single region, it varies, so you have to go by country for this title. The movie does not contain the planetarium scene in the versions released in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and the Philippines.

In all other countries, the movie contains said planetarium scene instead of the walk, and also the other subtle differences noted in the linked article.

I wish CD-WoW restock their digipack version. I think that has the Planetarium scene
No reply yet from CD-WoW. I had the digipack availability confirmed before I read hemisphere's repy.

Saw this at Astro Podium. 2 Discs pala siya. Just found out about it.

Somehow I don't like the cover. Not that attractive for me.

i have to agree w/ you on this one...but i didn't have a choice since my daughter was veeeery persistent that we buy it that very minute

first thing i noticed was the audio output: DTS and DD; can't wait to try it out

@vp_ortiz: i'll try to see if i can watch it this weekend (naka-sked yung viewing....school's out na kasi for my kid

Update: i tested it out earlier and went right to the final fight scene w/ DTS enabled; very good quality if you ask me, but i couldn't really crank up the volume on my receiver for fear that i might wake up the neighbors

; was able to browse the other dvd as well and went through a couple of features: the deleted scenes and animated scenes. aliw yung animated since it allows you to use the "angle" button on your player.

all in all, sulit na din ako sa Php 900 spent for this one.

will post here. sent cdwow an email again.

A certain David Hannah from CD-WoW replied to my email and confirmed the availability in digipak.
I'm placing an order now but I'll be specifying the digipak version. Although, the holiday season might slow down delivery. Although, the digipak line has been removed at their website both in UK & HK. Dubious!

Have you gotten your order from CD-WoW?
I haven't placed mine yet. My connection to the web got cut after placing it in my cart.
For some reason a mysterious force stopped me from checking out

I am very much tempted to get this copy

Hopefully magkaroon ng similar release in the US and naka sale siya this summer

hemisphere · « **Reply #45 on:** Dec 30, 2005 at 12:35 AM »

make sure to get the Region 1 release with slip case.

dulber32 · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 02, 2006 at 11:29 AM »

Wow!
I'll be posting my order soon.
thanks! I hope I also get the digipak packaging

hemisphere · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 02, 2006 at 11:53 AM »

no worriws. if you surf well enough, you would discover that the digipak is still available in some stores. of course, i wont tell where.

mala-criterion and presyo nga lang!

dulber32 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 03, 2006 at 06:34 PM »

hmmm... I'll just wait for the peso to get stronger.
hopefully it gets to the point where the price difference against the local release is next to negligible
and if I get lucky get a digipak packaged version

too much wishful thinking $:-\$

hemisphere · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 03, 2006 at 09:24 PM »

Hey Redge,

I want to thank you for recommending the R3 HK release. I got it through Jasper when he was there and bought it at HMV. Imagine the non digipack and the digipack were similarly priced at HK$179 = 1,250 pesos. According to him it was selling like hotcakes, he also got 1 for himself and several other titles (kainggit nga eh). PQ and SQ (DTS) are topnotch, referrence quality! Its exactly like the one you posted with the chinese sticker on it. Cheers and Happy New Year!

Good for you

Now enjoy the feature.
Will get mine soon though it won't come in digipak packaging anymore.
I wish the video and audio quality are also top notch

I saw the r3 Extended Edition of this in Odyssey yesterday for . I doubt that it mirrors the R1 release, but has someone already bought this? what's included?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 31, 2007 at 08:20 AM »

THX1138 got his copy for 299. It's single disc while the R1 is a double disc version.

Two things though:

1. Most of the contents on Disc 2 of the R1 extended edition are actually the same as Disc 2 of the R3 regular edition; and

2. Personally, I find the additional scenes in the extended edition a bit unnecessary. 20 minutes of fluff, no extended action/effects sequences.

Watched this version, really worth it! The additional scenes (20mins) improves the story development. For example, who saved them after the space station was hit by cosmic rays? --Get it while its on sale price. Did I forget to add that its DTS as well? Yup DTS!

Um... no one saved them? The extended scene just shows them waking up then it cuts back to Earth with Grimm waking up on the bed which was on the original release, if I'm not mistaken. Just correct me if I'm wrong.

Have to agree with other people, though, the original cut was a tighter, better paced story. Some of the additions here were awkward, redundant and unecessary (i.e. Reed Richards and Sue Storm's "date" at the planetarium and boardwalk -- what was up with the Wolverine impression? That was from the visual effects gag reel, inappropriate for a main feature).

Otherwise, it was okay. At P199-P299, it's a footnote for the collection.
