That was basically the premise, there is no hope.

I've owned this for a couple years now and I'll always give it a thumbs up when I see it.

Although, I've never watched it.

This is an fantastic movie but a really botched product release lacking both HDR and digital copy. It looks like the only fix was they updated the printed box cover to not claim either of those.

Still looks amazing in 4K, real shame HDR was missed. Audio is stellar, includes original English dub (not remastered new dub)

I always liked the animation and art style of Akira but actually hated the characters and everything. Everyone was a POS.

My version (admittedly the steel book version of this post) has HDR? Doesn't have DV though.

WB had the rights for years and it was shipped around to a bunch of directors but nothing happened, the rights now are back with the original creators.

If you haven't watched Chronicle it's basically a live action Akira adaptation set in ~2012. Amazed how there never was a lawsuit with as much as they borrowed (plot line, scenes) from the anime. I really liked it regardless.
