When Blu-ray first launched, there were great expectations for the titles
released. That was especially true for 'The Fifth Element', which had been
a home theater enthusiast favorite on DVD. Unfortunately, the results
were less than stellar, but Sony is here to atone with a remastered 'Fifth Element'! Those who purchased 'The Fifth Element' in
its current form can exchange the disc for the new, cleaned up version of
the film, due out July 17th.
The disc will come as a BD-50, encoded with AVC, and have two
lossless/uncompressed audio tracks: the same PCM track from the original
release (which was quite excellent) and a 20-bit Dolby TrueHD track. The
extras remain the same, but the film has been remastered for a
cleaner/crisper video experience.
Right now, Sony is taking down your name, mailing address, and phone
number and will contact you closer to the release of the remastered
version on how to exchange your disc. When you call, have that
information ready, or if you are emailing, make sure to place it in your
message. Here is the contact information:
