Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 5.0
Pleasantly surprised
I now realise what a great idea it was to import this blu-ray from amazon UK some two years ago... Not sure how much I paid for it at the time, must have been around 7 ... I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay the current insane price, however, no matter how much I love Transformers The Movie.As someone who owns this disc (as well as most of the TFTM videos released over the years), I can confirm it really is as good as people describe it. The image is certainly the BEST of all the various home video releases of the past (DVD, VHS, Laserdisc, etc..). Even the recent anniversary edition DVD from Sony doesn't come close. The sound is really good too. Although it is the "cropped" widescreen version, it does look better on an HDTV.And yes, although it's from the UK, it is region free. It plays on Canadian and American PS3's without any problems... And I have the most recent firmware update...But for those who balk at the current price, I wouldn't be surprised to see a North American release of the Blu-ray sometime in the near future... My guess would be right before or after the release of the current Micheal Bay trilogy on Blu-ray.
