Is this any good? It seems decent.

According to the "Asian Movies in HD!" thread it's also getting a BD release.

the action is some of the more original ones I've seen in a war movie so far and the story isn't your typical war fare either which was nice for a change. overall, it's well worth watching it.

Thanks Beat.

This does look good but nothing known of it than your, Tigercage's review and the odd online review I'm not sure if I should give it a go. Normally new Asian films are discussed death on this forum.

you can see it like this; first half of the movie is full with action and explosions and the second half it suddenly turns into a slow rama and no more action at all...

decent movie but definately not great...

DVD review: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=67592

The omission of the DTS track on this edition is disappointing, but the English subs are well translated and very easily read.

too bad but at least disc comes with superior subs, which wasn't the case with the R3 HK release.

This disc begins with forced trailers of other war releases and the director's The Banquet which are coming from Metrodome, along with the theatrical trailer for this release. The main extra is a subbed making of documentary which is really a succession of featurettes concentrating on topics like the leading actor, the director, the scriptwriter, the shoot, and the CGI and SFX. It is very respectful of all involved and will probably be well appreciated by those who haven't seen this very generic approach before.

Does anyone have the R3 release? how does the extras compare to the R2 release?

Thanks Beat.

I'd pick up the BD which is likely to have DTS-HD MA. I "think" Days of Glory has DTS-HD MA but I cannot say for sure.
