Title | Best |
Short Circuit (1986) | R4 |
This movie was released in Region 1 quite a while ago — I got my copy in 2000. At first glance, this comparison looks quite uneven, with the Region 1 including a stack of extras and a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack — looks like a slam-dunk win to the Region 1 disc. But there are a couple of things to consider... The complete list of extras on the Region 1 disc is impressive:
Here's the catch: the Region 1 transfer is far too dark, has harsh contrast, and is not 16x9 enhanced. And for those who care: the R1 is in a snapper case. In the end, if you want the better version of the movie (decent transfer, 16x9 enhanced), you have to get the Region 4 disc. If you want all the extras, then get the Region 1. |
