The DD5.1 remix was reportedly poorly mixed. I suspect that the DTS track is prolly just an upmix of that, so you're prolly not missing anything with it being left off the R1.

It is on the R1 silly

, check out the second post. It's a pity/odd the Stereo mix hasn't been included.

TBH I don't generally believe people when they say that as they tend to be the sort of people who dislike 5.1 period so are biased.

I never said the DD5.1 wasn't on the R1. I was talking about the DTS track on the R2UE which is being left off this new R1 release. Wouldn't that be obvious?

I'm perfectly fine without the original stereo track, I doubt that they added/replaced foley effects since it's all from a stereo source rather than mono. Even if they did, I wouldn't know the difference - I've never seen the film.

Have you eaten Grim?

. I know what you were saying.

The second post specifically says DTS is NOT missing.
