rjsdvd Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone know of a good DVD or Blu-Ray edition of "Exodus"? The domestic one produced by MGM/UA some years ago is underwhelming to say the least, and deficient in so many areas (not anamorphic, no overture or intermission music, etc.). I know that a DVD and Blu-Ray edition of "Exodus" were released in France just a very short while ago. Has anyone seen this edition, or are there other foreign editions that anyone has seen. All comments are welcome! (I have an all-region Blu-ray player, so regional codes are not an issue.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfp2 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's been remastered in HD because it's being run on the MGMHD channel (I get it from DirecTV) this month. In fact it's starting in about 15 minutes. I'm recording it on my DVR to see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All comments are welcome! (I have an all-region Blu-ray player, so regional codes are not an issue.) The MGM/UA DVD was also encoded at a fairly low bitrate so that the nearly 3 1/2-hour movie could be crammed onto a single disc, which is why the image is so fuzzy. While I've never been a huge fan of this movie (or anything else by Otto Preminger) as drama, it is gorgeous to look at and deserves a first-class transfer in Blu-ray. What all-region Blu-ray player do you have? I've been looking for one at a reasonable price, but have found that a lot of those being advertised as such aren't. It's doubly confusing because some function as all-region DVD players, but not region-free Blu-ray players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsdvd Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have a Curtis Blu-ray player (Model 1102). Although this is not advertised as an multi-region player, there is a code you use that allows the playing of Region B and C blu-rays, and any region DVD (the code basically changes all DVDs to Region 0.) I purchased it in Canada, where I live. It wasn't expensive (about $150 if my memory serves me correctly.) My only concern is that this model is discontinued, so I don't think firmware updates are available, so I might be upgrading to a more expensive model myself.
