(I'm honestly kinda surprised that Cameron hasn't used this snafu as an excuse to authorized yet another specialized edition of the film... just to pad his pocketbook a little more, if nothing else.) I mean, honestly people, how hard can it be to take the original mono audio soundtrack and clean it up BUT LEAVE IT EXACTLY AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY, and simply include it as a separate accessible option in the audio set-up???
I remember a time, back in the days of laserdisc, when everyone complained about The Terminator's mono track, which had almost no bass extension and, obviously, nothing by way of surround activity. (Cameron said at the time that he chose to allocate most of his budget to visual effects and spend less on sound.) After the success of Terminator 2, everyone hoped Cameron would oversee a remix of the original film's soundtrack.
How times have changed. Now the chief complaint is the omission of the original soundtrack from current editions of The Terminator in favor of the remixed version that Cameron did eventually prepare. This remastered Blu-ray will not eliminate that complaint, as it features only the remixed soundtrack in lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1. The previous disc from 2006 offered the same track in PCM. The remixed track still sounds quite good, with deep bass extension, distinct split surround activity, clear and intelligible dialogue, and a musically pleasing reproduction of Brad Fiedel's score that is especially effective when the main theme switches from electronic instrumentals to piano for the Sarah/Reese love story. Those wishing for the original mono will have to make do, but as "making do" goes, this is hardly roughing it.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004). The release will be available for purchase on October 15.
Synopsis: From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pacific Rim) comes HELLBOY, a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignola's popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell and brought to Earth as an infant to perpetrate evil, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was rescued from sinister forces by the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero. In Dr. Broom's secret Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy creates an unlikely family consisting of the telepathic "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can control fire. Hidden from the very society that they protect, they stand as the key line of defense against an evil madman who seeks to reclaim Hellboy to the dark side and use his powers to destroy mankind.

This is certainly not the first time these have been offered on DVD, but it has been a while. While Most of the bonus content will no doubt be from previous releases, there is a TON of it, including the extra films and specials associated with each series. I'll not be double dipping, but this is a nice, fairly inexpensive way to own these collections if you missed out the first couple of times.
