Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received my copy of the Blu-ray "The Day of the Triffids Special Edition" from Amazon UK. The Blu-ray includes the 3 hour movie and more than 3 hours of extras for a total running time of 401 minutes (off the back of the case). I always liked the 1962 film starring Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey and was looking forward to seeing this BBC version of the John Wyndham novel. I enjoyed it very much. The image is very sharp and the CGI is very good too.
This Blu-ray is region free so it will play in North American Blu-ray players. The extras (standard definition) however are probably PAL and not NTSC so that could be a problem unless your Blu-ray player has a PAL to NTSC converter. My relatively old Panasonic DMP-BD10A apparently has one as I can watch everything the high definition movie and the standard definition extras with no problem
And apparently the 1962 film has been restored and hopefully will be released in the very near future.
