The Island (CDN version) is Dolby 2.0 only?

[furrycute]

I watched the movie, and I liked it, very much so. A great movie, nicely done futuristic backgrounds, and very haunting themes. I am surprised this movie didn't do well in the theaters.

So I emailed NBC/Universal about this issue and apparently they're offering replacement discs if you email them at universalcanadahomevideo@nbcuni.com.

Here's the email I sent:

Hi There,
I was told that this was the email address to contact in order to complain about my recent purchase of the Canadian release of The Island on DVD. The jacket clearly states that there's an "English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround" track on the DVD but as you can see in the screenshot I've attached, it's nowhere to be found. Only French 5.1, English 2.0, and English 2.0 w/ commentary are available. This seems very odd to me considering that the movie was an English release.

If you are not able to send me a replacement movie (The US version would be fine), I'd like to request that my money be refunded immediately.

Thank you for your time.
Dave

Good job man.

I'm on it. I hope to get a replacement too. I figured that a new release was coming. Now I get to watch the movie all over again.
