and enter the name of the film.

That is a great price. I only wish the disc were anamorphic. This has got to be the first Universal title in a long time to be non-anamorphic. Other than that, the disc is nice.

I watched it Friday night. I was able to purchase a copy early from a store here in my town (not a Hindi Video store). It was not a pirate (copies were in boxes with the Universal logo all over it). Even the packaging just says "WIDESCREEN" on the back whereas Universal usually puts "ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN". If you don't believe me, that's fine but I put it on my 16x9 tv and it was definitely NOT anamorphic. I was just as shocked as you are! It does have both Dolby Digital and DTS on there as well as audio commentary and a making of. I don't have a scanner but I'll see if I can have my friend scan the back of the jacket for you.

Jeff is right. The region 1 Universal disc is non anamorphic. From DVDfile.com:

Presented in 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen, admittedly this still looks marvelous. From the bright, fervent colors of the opening titles to the gorgeous saffrons and blues, everything about this transfer is wonderful. Colors are rock solid and perfectly saturated, with excellent blacks and contrast. Detail is well above average despite the lack of anamorphic encoding, with very nice shadow delineation and little in the way of compression artifacts or any edge enhancement to detract. Great stuff, even if the lack of a real anamorphic transfer is a disappointment.


The review didn't mention a DTS track, though it might be an unlisted extra, which would be odd for Universal. Why such a recent release is non anamorphic in 2002, I have no idea.

if it's so good non-anamorphic, just imagine how it would have looked if it was anamorphic...when will we get the perfect dvd?
