But yeah, if I lived on a ranch and had the space for a 70mm projector in my living room and also won the Powerball lottery then yeah, I'd go for a 70mm set up. ertoili wrote: I would say this 4K BD for the high level of detail and the Laserdisc for the "film" analogy nature of this format. The 1080p Blu Ray from the 3 disc set? Have there been any comparisons done with it yet?

I’m guessing the later but I honestly don’t know a lot about this movie. IMDb says "shot on 35mm" and "blown-up to 70mm" for a theatrical run. I did find 70mm AKIRA movie reel cuts for sale online.

And just now I find out that an IMAX release of AKIRA supposedly happened last April 3rd in Tokyo but... State of emergency in Tokyo was declared on April 7th and TOHO closed all of its 1,500 screens from April 8th. How many people could have seen AKIRA IMAX in 5 days? https://www.toho.co.jp/movie/lineup/akira_imax.htmlWill it be rescheduled or just dropped with the 4K available? Julien

Finally! https://www.zoom.co.uk/product/akira_limited_edition_4k_ultra_hd_blu_ray_uhdUse code SIGNUP10 and Guest Checkout to get a fiver off. It's out in Europe end of November and in the USA end of December. It's a DNR disaster but I think it should be purchased to ensure we keep getting anime and physical media in general. Jeff has it if you want the USA version.

There's a review of the UK disc up on AVF now. Interesting in that it differs from the Japan disc slightly. https://www.avforums.com/reviews/akira- ... view.18222I note one comment says Jeff isn't dispatching orders until mod-January 2021. I pre-ordered from Zoom and mine was dispatched earlier this week. Got the 2011blu too to mux the JP 2.0 track in to it. Need the blu with the Streamline dub now to finish an ultimate edition to drop on my NAS. It seems odd that the UK and Japan discs are slightly different in features. I wonder what the reason was?
