Sprays of dirt, scratched-up metal, coarse-woven clothing and close-ups of people's faces. If the transfer is good, this will be like a walking ad for Blu-ray. |

>No only one movie was region locked because Paramount didn't own the rights on a worldwide basis  |

KaiGusto : yeah Forrest Gump was part of the Sapphire Series but was region free because Paramount owned the rights worldwide for this movie.
It will be the same for Saving Private Ryan |

Maybe we'll get 7.1, but don't most Paramount titles give us 5.1 DTS-HD MA Audio? Maybe they'll start a New trend with this great movie in 7.1, hopefully... |

First Sapphire Series title NOT to win Best Picture... but that only means "coulda, woulda, shoulda" counts at Paramount, since only the Weinsteins' overhyping of Shakespeare In Love kept it from winning. (And, of course, Spielberg won Best Director for it too.)
EDIT: The cover LOOKS a lot like a Sapphire Series cover, BUT it actually says "2-Disc Special Edition". Did you misread the cover, or did Paramount say it's Sapphire in the press release? |

This is going to be glorious! Thank goodness for 2010 rolling out more Spielberg titles early and often! And Sapphire Series -- the first such title released under the banner without being a Best Picture winner (though it clearly deserved to win it over the middling Shakespeare in Love). |

Sapphire Series... Paramount really has a great line there. If this release is as pristine as: [ Forrest Gump, Braveheart, The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II ] Paramount will have the highest quality two-discs sets. I'm still hoping that maybe we will get to see a low-profile rerelease of Gladiator in a few months. A lot like what Disney did to its Gangs of New York title. They need to keep releasing titles from the Paramount library in the Sapphire Series edition's. I'm really excited to see this release, Saving Private Ryan has been from the beginning one of my most wanted movie since I started buying Blu-ray. |

Hell to the yes..Day One buy! Let's hope for a transfer that's as good or better than Braveheart. A transfer as good as Man on Fire would kick butt. If the Transfer is like Gladiator than this will be a huge let down. |

I have faith that this will be demo material. There's no way that they are going to pull a Gladiator on this one. I am excited to say the least. I don't think they'll remaster this in 7.1 because I don't think it was mastered in 7.1 originally. |

ClaytonMG is exactly right about the 5.1 channel original mix. DTS-ES has never (to my knowledge) been a theatrical format. And Dolby Digital EX did not debut until "The Phantom Menace" in late May 1999. "Saving Private Ryan" was released 10 months prior to that in late July 1998.
Unnecessary remixes are just that -- unnecessary. Instead, some rules of thumb for proper BD transfers should be to include the original sound mix, present the intended aspect ratio, use little (if any) DNR, etc.
(Sometimes, I wonder if those urging for 7.1 channel remixes are the same people clamoring for all films to be shot 1.78/1.85.) |

I'm going to wait for a blu-ray.com review of the disc before picking it up. Gladiator showed, even with some fancy moniker like "Sapphire Series", the studios can still screw up a blu-ray release with a lousy transfer and leave the consumer frustrated. It should be okay considering it's a Spielberg film, but I'm not taking any chances. |

ClaytonMG, you are correct, Dolby Digital EX is not a 6.1 discrete format. Rather, it matrixes the CS channel -- in phase, 3 dB attenuated -- into both LS & RS channels. (Back in 1999, I was involved in some of the online/print technical analysis of the THX Surround EX & Dolby Digital EX system.) Since Dolby Digital EX retains the cardinal 5.1 discrete channel structure, theatrical Dolby Digital EX & DTS tracks, respectively, can both carry the very same mix.
However, I stand by my assertion that I do not believe that DTS-ES has ever been officially marketed as a theatrical format. Both Dolby & THX have manufactured theatrical EX decoders. I am not certain that DTS ever has. Now, that is not particularly damning, as DTS tracks are played through Dolby cinema processors thousands of times every day, yet those are still fundamentally DTS presentations. So, the ultimate litmus test is marketing. And I cannot ever recall DTS-ES collateral attached to a theatrical release. If my memory fails me or I am in error, though, I will stand corrected. |
