Thanks for the replies ,I have a Panasonic blu ray player so will try and disable the subs . Shame I can't get the magnificent trailer in English as well.

Be very interested to hear comments on the IMAX blu ray ,particularly picture quality and extras ,if any .

The one review for the IMAX edition states that the image was not great, with noticeable compression artefacts. The dts-HDMA 7.1/ Dolby True HD 7.1 audio was described as flat and disappointing compared to the US dts-HDMA 5.1. I eagerly await further reviews. The one HK edition showing on Yesasia only states dts-HDMA 5.1 and no mention of Dolby True HD 7.1

I would not trust the audio details on yesasia.

The back image states 7.1 for both:

i used butter to get rid of the glue residue.
not only did the glue come off quickly, my steelbook now also looks glossy.

Lighter fluid is the best

I take off the glue only with my fingers ! I do that in 15 min., but I succeed, and the steelbook is clean !

You may want to clean it off buddy, butter goes rancid you don't want it to stink up your collection

I can see this movie getting the full Criterion makeover one day ,the scope deserves as much .

The problem is that when you enlarge the photo of the back at Yesasia it clearly shows just dts-HDMA 5.1

The picture of the back on Yesasia is of the DVD (you can see it says Region 3)

Excellent, and informative, shots. Were you able to remove the glue without issue? I normally use WD40 but I don't know if it would work with THAT amount of glue. What on earth was the manufacturer thinking of?

 

[Tacozilla]

the glue came off easily on mine, i just used some pledge multi surface cleaner

 

[Blu-devil]

I think more effort was put into this "cheap" title than Zavvi have been putting in their "Premium" titles. Hang you head in shame chavvi.

I've got some mr sheen in the cupboard I'll try it later. Can't believe the amount of glue. Thought the steel plates were about to crack open as I was removing the slip
