5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the import price, December 1, 2008

This review is from: CHILDREN OF MEN (BLU-RAY) (DVD)

I imported this Blu-Ray several months ago from another source, for an even higher price, and I have no regrets. It's an incredible movie, and the transfer to Blu-Ray is excellent.

This review is from: CHILDREN OF MEN (BLU-RAY) (DVD)

The reason for the price on this blu-ray is because it's an IMPORT... It costs more to bring it in from the UK...

This review is from: CHILDREN OF MEN (BLU-RAY) (DVD)

Children of Men is a surprisingly well done movie, with good set design, a good script, good acting, and high production values. It is a cinematic gem whose reputation is likely to grow over time.

That is all I will say about the movie itself, because the primary purpose of this particular review is more limited: to let people know about the Blu Ray that Amazon sent me.

I received a Scandinavian import. While the quality of the picture was good, the opening screen was simply for the viewer to choose which of four languages (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Finnish) the subtitles would be in (luckily it was not dubbed but was in English). There were no extras that I could find, so it is truly a bare bones Blu Ray. As a result, I was disappointed with the Blu-Ray even though I like the movie itself very well. Caveat emptor, folks.
