Zod

how does the video look and sound?

Got mine.  Won't get a chance to watch it until the weekend.  Not thrilled with the case (I understand paper and less waste) but it's not exactly going to fit on the shelf with other dvds and blu-rays nicely.  I'll probably put it in my old dvd case.  

Any chance that someone who is good with photoshop could create a standard blu-ray case size insert so people could print it out and use?

I'm with others on the packaging. I'd feel better about the minimalist approach if it was reflected in the price. Looking forward to popping it in soon, though.

Sounds pretty good, but the uprez job looks terrible. Definitely a half-assed release. That said, I'm still happy to have it in my collection, but I would have preferred (and paid more for) a professional job.

Does it have a spine?

I hope one is created too.

Any idea what region the disc is? Whether it’s universal or US only? I’ve not bought it at the moment as I do not know whether it will play on a European Blu ray player

Uprezz is marginally better than the DVD. Everything looks very soft, though. There are times where it's pretty well detailed, but most of the time it looks soft and like someone is using a smearing tool. Watched it on a LG OLED B2.

No idea yet. Hopefully soon we will know.

That's sad to here the upres isn't great   I'm assuming it's not letterboxed and at least takes up the whole TV.  I seem to remember the DVD being letterboxed, which means when you play it on modern widescreen TV's you have bars on the bottom and top.

I use a ShieldTV to stream content and play videos on my TV, and it's really good at upres'ing things.  It'll be interesting to see if the official bluray stacks up against it upresing the DVD

I'm going to to run it through Topaz this weekend and see if I can clean it up any. I might have to revert to DVD for better results at this point. I don't remember if the DVD has chapter markers, but I'd also like to create those since they decided that those were not necessary.

It took up the whole screen on my TV.

I just got the disc, what a garbage upscale.  They didn't even bother to deinterlace it properly.  Topaz wont fix this mess any more than it will fix the DVD.  I am going to professionally upscale and grade it and I will report back.

I'm working on one by scanning and adapting the DVD art. Going to print one off at work tomorrow to make sure the dimensions are all good.

Should have come with a warning sticker. Why grant the funds to shoot on 16mm in the first place, if you gonna skimp out on taking advantage of the format. Atleast they shot the Riot Act videos on 35mm and those look gre.... oh... no wait...

Sounds like it's probably not worth the investment. I was marginally pleased with the look of the new Do the Evolution vid. Not comparable?
