I’ve recently had the chance to get this disc and I’ve watched it twice already.

WOW, I'm was really impressed!

The packing is fantastic! It comes with a slipcover and the artwork employs the original poster art. IMO it’s one of the greatest movie posters of all time!

The menus are also very beautiful. Simple, yet effective. I usually hate menus and disc intros, but if they were all made like this, I wouldn't have a problem with them at all.

Regarding the presentation itself, wow, what can I say?

It must be described as a labor of love!

How refreshing it is to see the US TC for the first time in high definition.! While the DC is not offensive like other revisionisms we get these days, for me, it pales in comparison the US TC.

The cuts are totally seamless and so is the integration of the original LPCM track. Speaking of which, it's such a great and powerful track. It reminds me why I love LD PCM tracks so much. It barely feels like a mono track, as the sound fills the room and it has lots of LFE.

But that’s not all of it. The disc also comes with 2 lossless isolated score tracks, which are fantastic additions. I can only imagine the work involved in 'rescuing' and treating them for this presentation.

Finally there are the soundtrack CDs and they’re such a special treat.

Congratulations to DarkJedi and everyone involved! The more I watch it, the more I love it. Can't wait for your next work!

Thanks for making such a fantastic work available to us enthusiasts!
