Ransom S.E. Is it Anamorphic??
Hey guys quick question, I see that Ransom SE is coming out this tuesday, is it anamorphic??? DVD Empire says Yes, THe Box does not mention anything about enhanced for widescreen, and DVD Review.com says its not. What gives, is it or is it not? also if not whats the point of rereleasing??? Its not my favorite movie, but i figured if it comes out i'll get it if its anamorphic cause the current release is not, But it scares me, because I need to replace Crimson Tide and if they pull this stuff now, we'll propably wont get that or Con Air or Enemy of the State?

Ugh! I didn't buy the original release in the hope that an SE would be released. What good is an SE in 2004 if it isn't anamorphic? This is just stupid and I won't buy this title.

Go multi region.
The R2 and R4 SE's are pretty much exactly the same (and ARE anamorphic).
The R3 release is NOT anamorphic, but features a DTS track.
Take your pick. I love my R4 SE.

DVD Talk Special Edition
On Disney's release ( last year) of Alive:30th Anniversary Addition They milabeled it as Widescreen 1.85:1, when it is Anamorphic and no mention on the label.
Disney has a history of Mislabeling their DVD's, Has anyone addressed this in a review of the SE for Ransom?
I have to admit....A non-anamorphic release is down right retarded.

I'm guessing that the 18 extra minutes aren't included in the deleted scenes?
If not, I'd love to see the longer cut, but the absence of a laserdisc player in my pad pretty much puts a halt to that.

This is ridiculous. How do they even have the sheer NERVE to call this a "Special Edition" when it's not anamorphic is just absurd.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL? No extra footage, crappy transfer - BOO to BVHV on this one.

Man I Don't care who directed what, its been 7 years since DVD has been out, Widescreen Tv's are mainstream almost and these people are still releasing non-anamorphic transfers, WTF?
