In Reply to: No, but I guess that you (and Sony) both do... posted by Charles Hansen on March 4, 2007 at 10:04:58:
Well, I have both the DVD and Blu-ray of the 5th Element, and the Blu-ray even with the problems of the release is far superior. The colors are more saturated, contrast is improved, the soundtrack while not perfect (it's a bit bright) is lossless and veyr detailed. On my 720p set, I cannot really see the scratches and dust they mention, but I'm sure it shows on a 1080p.The House of the Flying Daggers Blu-Ray looks exactly like the theater release. I saw the theater release twice. The first time I saw it was not in a first rate theater, and my friend and I both commented on how we thought the print must have been inferior (possibly a bad chinese film duplication company?). I went the second time at the Metreon here in SF (A State of the Art Sony facility at the time) and the film was marginally better. It looked soft, lacked detail, washed out, lack of contrast, a unpleasant green cast to the film, muted colors. The Blu-Ray looks exactly the same as the two prints I saw in theaters. So garbage in garbage out I guess.
I don't hang out with any videophiles, but the techies I hang out with all want a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player, they are just waiting for prices to drop.
Tonight I'm going to watch Bullit on Blu-Ray, gotta love Netflix.
