This is that recently released special edition that went out of print in no time. It's from Second Sight. Evidently the version we've been watching for years is inaccurate so they went back to the original elements and remastered them, as well as adjusted the frame rates properly. It gives it a whole new feel that's true to how it was originally intended. They clearly cleaned up the sound too. It does feel like a new, fresh movie again. It's hard to put my finger on it but it's definitely worth the download.
This is the THEATRICAL version NOT the festival one.
Stream 1 - English 2.0
Stream 2 - Commentary by Writers/Directors Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez and Producers Robin Cowie, Gregg Hale & Mike Monello
Stream 3 - New commentary by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson
So many optional subtitles I can't even list them all, look below at the MediaInfo
Chapters included and labeled
Please seed thanks.
