Got my copy in the mail today. Beautiful set.

Beautiful set.

Indeed it is.

Unfortunately, Disc #1 -- at exactly the 1:52:10 mark of the 116-minute cut (when the chimp throws away the razor) -- freezes up solid.

The disc is defective.

Now I have to contact Synapse...



Send her to the snakes!

reply

Am happy to report that Synapse promptly sent me a replacement disc which plays just fine -- no freezing. Yay!

Got mine in the mail yesterday and watched the 116 minute cut. It was nice to see the extra footage, but most of it is unnecessary. The film looks and sounds stunning.

@thegoose
Did your copy also freeze in the end?

reply

Do you mean the 116 minute version? There was no freezing in that one and hopefully not in the others either.
