Captain Khajiit said:You might be lucky. Very often there is a new DVD release when a BD transfer is made. (Studios want to extract as much money out of a new transfer as they can.) I haven't heard about a new DVD for this film, but it wouldn't surprise me if one were released, especially given the demand for OAR amongst fans of this film.

In my case this release is a very persuasive swing to get a booray player

If you're looking to jump in, get a PS3 (whether you game or note), or wait until after the upcoming black friday. The rumored BD player prices are ridiculously low. Buying BD, if you're willing to wait for them to go on sale, is really not that expensive, esp considering the considerable picture quality gain (if you have a large, HD tv).
ThrowgnCpr said:thats really cool, but the saturation looks insane on the new BD transfer. I know they wanted to get it close to the original technicolor idea, but to me, the '01 transfer's colors are a lot more visually pleasing. I'm not a huge fan of super saturation for any imaging.

BTW, i definately favor the technicolor cc over the other more common cc for Apocalypse now, it just has class!

I'm not so sure. Coppola wanted to play up the surrealism using colour. His love of Technicolor is well-known. This was never an earth tone thing like The Godfather, and like I said I'm pretty sure the 70mm print looks nothing like the two 2001 screenshots.It's supposed to be mustard-colored, not saffron-colored, I think
