Greetings all, I just wanted to post a quick review of Team Blu's latest release "The NeverEnding Story" 2-disc set that I received last week. To cut to the chase, this is yet another strong entry into their ever growing list of quality releases.

As most (if not all) of you may recall, the biggest flaw with the theatrical (i.e. domestic) release was that the transfer was too dark and the biggest flaws with the international release were that it was too light and DNR'd to hell.

Here's a quick breakdown after viewing both discs:

Theatrical: Comparing the domestic release which I own to Team Blu's release, the PQ really shines with the lightening techniques applied to the transfer.

International: On the flipside, I don't own a version of the international so I had to compare it to screen captures but it is very plain to see that the darkening of the international cut and grain application have restored a filmic presentation to this cut of the film.

To put it bluntly, the previous issues with both transfers has been corrected with this release and fans of this film owe it to themselves to put this on their shelves post haste.

Thanks for this, but just to clear some things up, the Theatrical is the International and the International is the Extended in your post lol, there are only 2 versions, the International which is the Theatrical almost everywhere, and then the Extended which was only available in Germany up until recently, and our Extended is 100% English Friendly, if I have anything wrong here I will let You_Too straighten it out lol.

Thanks again for the review!
