Glad to see Universal announcing more titles, although, I would like to see more announcements soon for other HD-DVD titles (patch Adams, in good company, definately maybe, etc) for early next year |

Excellent news! If only Criterion was doing this one, but Uni has been doing pretty good so far... |

Criterion had to have lost the rights because issuing a blu-ray would've been a no-brainer because the DVD version sold incredibly well for CC. |

Universal also releases this film as one of their catalog titles along with Criterion. I would say they have NOT lost the rights to the film, Universal is just releasing what they have already released on DVD carried over to BD.
I am sure the Criterion release will come sooner or later. I like the film but it puts me to sleep instantly lol |

I'd LOVE the Criterion edition to be the blu-ray released... If only Criterion was so slow in releasing beautiful work : (
This is movie is a no brainer double dip from my DVD copy but I'm wondering if Criterion has this scheduled sooner than later, anyone? |

I never got why this movie was so popular. I thought it was horrible. |

Probably my favorite of Terry Gilliam's movies, love it even more than 12 Monkeys and Time Bandits. |

Special features are very disappointing considering how much was put into the DVD Criterion....was hoping this release would be similar to The Rock....oh well, still a great movie and I still plan on picking it up. |

It is about time this movie is released. A true cult classic in every sense of the word! One of the best drug movies of all time! Ah the wonders of LSD on blu ray!!! |

No love for Brazil? Now that's a movie I hope Criterion reworks for BD in the near future! |
