 Edited theatrical release in cropped widescreen January 6, 2009
The Happy Space Invader
As another reviewer pointed out, this is the edited release of The Shining. The full unedited version is available as a US import (or, bizarrely, from iTunes UK). br / br /I don't have too much of a problem with that, but I was disappointed that this Blu-ray release has been cropped to a 16:9 format, when the previous DVD release preserved the film maker's originally intended format of 4:3. br / br /Other than that, the picture quality is pretty decent for such an old film; certainly legions ahead of the disappointing "Full Metal Kacket" Blu-ray release.
 Great film - but not Kubrick's original edit January 5, 2009
lensman 23 (UK)
This looks and sounds great, with a fair helping of interesing extras (including the fly-on-the-wall 'making of' made by Kubrick's daughter for the BBC). br /However, it is the theatrical release version, which Kubrick was forced to cut. The US region one DVD, at least, is the full version. I will therefore be keeping hold of my copy of that until/unless the full version is released here!
Great Film, Great Blu Ray Conversion June 2, 2008

We all know it's a great film so instead of me going on about that or how average the cover looks(!), I'll talk about what you're spending the extra 's on, the Blu Ray conversion.... There have been a number of older films that have been put on to Blu Ray which, simply, have been very poor (see my review on Bullitt (another Warner title FYI)). The point of Blu Ray should be to showcase the very best in picture and audio quality that is currently available. Thankfully, this title has converted very well. The picture quality is exceptional, it makes a 28yr old film look very recent. Jack has never looked so maniacal! And again, the audio quality just brings a whole new experience to the film, adding an even darker edge than you were previously aware of. br / br /I'd fully recommend the Blu Ray version of the film, top marks.
