I have the theatrical release on VHS, the director's cut on DVD, the uncut version on DVD, and the superbit version of the director's cut on DVD. What I need is a life.
The uncut version doesn't work for me, I find it long and boring. The director's cut is the best with the best picture and sound. The theatrical release is just right if I need to show it to someone who is not crazy about submarines. If only I have a VHS now.
The superbit version sports a DTS track which vastly surpasses the already excellent track of the director's cut, and I have a cheapo surround system. It boasts a bit-rate double that of the old one (spanning two DVD9s instead of two DVD5s) but the enhancement in picture isn't noticeable unless you hit pause and look hard at Jürgen Prochnow's face.
I highly doubt if blu-ray will do much to improve this movie without massive graphic editing, perhaps just the underwater opening scene.
