Request: Comparison Last Life in the Universe R2UK vs. R3KR

Daze · Post by **Daze** » 30 May 2006, 18:31

Hi, I'm looking for a comparison between the R2UK and R3KR (LE with OST CD) release of 'Last Life in the Universe'. As far as I know the R2UK from Artificial Eye had the best picture quality, but I would like to know how the R3KR compares to the R2UK. Thanks...

Hi Daze

Welcome to the forums. Please post in the "Reviews & Comparisons thread:

I have the Thai DVD which only has 13 minutes of extras but is Anamorphic with DD5.1. I assumed as it was a Thai film it hadn't had an international release. It's cheap from eThaiCD.

Looking at this comparison the UK R2 looks much nicer: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=13396

On paper I'd say the UK R2 wins (over the R1): http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=5095

I'd prefer the interviews/behind the scenes over the R1s exclusive Chris Doyle commentary + AE produce lovely looking DVDs (Lions Gate don't always).

Both Artificial Eye (R2UK) and Lion's Gate (R1) are excellent DVD producers. I'd wager that either of those releases is a good option, based on the companies' past output alone.

DVDbeaver has given the R2UK a glowing review for PQ here (includes large caps). DVDtimes review. They say the PQ "is almost perfect". But this probably best you're going to get given (I'm guessing) a probable limited budget of the film.

R1 reviews:-
1 2 3 4

I have the HK disc. Could post screens of that.

Thanks guys! To be more specific, I already own the R2UK Artificial Eye release and am quite happy with it but I am actually looking for a direct comparison between R2UK and R3KR as I'm thinking about purchasing the R3KR because of the OST CD and the nice digipack...

Surely it would be cheaper to just buy the OST CD? But sorry no I can't find such a comparison.
