22 year old film looks like it was shot yesterday! Only contrast wavering issues here & there & some noise in wide angle background shots. My only complaint about the high res dts track is it sounds dated. Very rare use of surrounds or LFE (Not really expecting of this type of film) but when there are, the room becomes spacious with sound. The video is VC-1 & audio dts 1.5mbps.

BCI's first film released in HD. How does it look? Well there is minor improvement from SD, mainly exterior shots benefit from the increased rez however there are just so many other issues which make this disc barely passable as high-def. The biggest issue is excessive motion blur & ghosting throughout. Minor contrast wavering & edge enhancement is present. Noticeable print damage & noise. Minor color pallet fluctuation with bleeding reds & blues. DNR is also thrown in as well. Should also mention that around the 19 minute mark the aspect ratio changes from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1 for around 10 seconds or less & than resumes in the correct OAR. Very odd. Happens only once thankfully & no it isn't an intentional choice, just a dumb flaw with the transfer. Audio wise, the 2.0 Dolby track has rare a/v sync dropouts, heavy LFE presence & poor dynamic range but never was dialog muted or washed out.

This collection set was a mixed bag in both video & audio quality. What I was expecting to see was a bit of improvement over the years of these films. Not gonna go into lengthy detail. The first film has decent video. Color saturation is improved with minimal artifacting. The source could have been cleaned up. Audio wasn't as well balanced as I would have liked it to be. Same goes for the second film. Now the second film is a minor step up from the SE DVD. The film is dark with grain, minor print damage & bleeding colors + frequent "soft" looking scenes. The 3rd film is a nice improvement over the DVD but again specs of dirt, minor noise keep this from being perfect. The opening audio sound mix had me thinking oh yeah! Reference material. Guess not. Center channel IE dialog was frequently distorted throughout while the mains & surrounds were crystal clear. My other gripe is a minor mixing issue. The 4th is great all around. I watched this one twice on a 1080p flat panel & SXRD RPTV & the presentation is so close to flawless I had to give it a 10. Maybe if I rated with decimals, I'd give it a 9.9 cause there is intentional grain in some low lit scenes. This is the title to throw in to show off your sound system to friends. I'd say this is Transformers nemesis. Anyways, overall the set is worth picking up for fans of the older films as each one is an improvement over the recent DVD SE's, just don't expect eye poppin 3D HD. If thats all your after, just go for the 4th film.

This is another title which has PIP. Don't know if this is New Line's first + don't know if it was encoded in the same fashion as The Descent. Just checked a bit of it out after the film. Man this movie is hilarious. It never takes itself serious. The video has some intentional grain & I counted only a few soft spots. The audio is crystal clear & surprisingly dialog never gets drowned out by all the gun blasts. The score & heavy metal mix really give all speakers a workout including the LFE. Dumb film, great disc.

Ok where did the HD-cams go? I figure someone put down the HD-cam, lit up, & than picked up a SD-cam by mistake. Mind you there are multiple cams & usually the HD ones are either aimed at the drummer or David's guitar. Some shots looked mixed but it is clearly just a poor transfer & inconsistent. The audio is near perfect. (I feel this should have been an audio only release) Surrounds could have been more active as well as LFE... still a fine audio presentation & unfortunately the only selling point of the disc.

There are a few compression issues keeping this disc from reference material. Blacks are spot on but sinse this film is shot almost entirely at night I kinda hoped they'd be off so I could make out some fine object detail. The few daylight scenes looked a tad too sharp & background detail is lost because of this. The audio is killer on this with 1 exception. Dialog does get drowned out by the other channels. If mixed better, for sure this track would be of reference quality.

Around the 8 minute 30 second mark, there are only a few crackling sounds in the right surround channel which last 2 seconds at best. These sounds can not be heard with the lossy track. The rest of the entire film does not have any other audible anomalies. The video quality is average unfortunately due to M. Night's stylistic direction, scenes appear flat & soft with little pop to colors + there are a couple scenes I noticed which looked edge enhanced. All in all the video is a step up from the SD DVD release with better blacks & fine detail which I believe no upcon player could match but in the end, I found the HD transfer overall just average. Its worth the upgrade, however I wouldn't recommend this to people who want BD demo material, just people who are die-hard fans.

The PQ on all 3 discs isn't too bad given the source. (film stock from the 20's-50's) My real complaint has to be the audio. The first 2 titles, ya can hear an improvement with TrueHD over Dolby but oddly not in the third release. My best guess is because of the 18 year gap between releases. The third release has a bit more modern clips & interviews from cast done in 94 & I found the video in this area an improvement over the previous 2, nothing to shout home about though. The TrueHD track is lack luster to say the least. No surround use, dialog & pitch are well say... tamed. So basically crack up you AV & you might be satisfied enough with it, not me. For hardcore fans of MGM musicals around the 30's & 40's.

If your a WWE fan this is a no brainer. I am not thou. The picture is just incredible throughout. Makes most other live performances look like garbage. The last bout with the Undertaker's entrance is harsh in high-definition. The blue neon lights make everything else stand out so when those lights went away & normal lighting was present, I literally had to take a short break before the match to rest my eyes because everything looked 3D. The audio isn't bombastic but has its moments mostly active during each wrestler's entrance. I used the BDP-S300 for this viewing cause the player bitstream's the audio so I don't have to crank up the receiver's db.

Something about The 6th Day just ain't right. Can't point my finger at it... maybe its the EE & very minor DNR but some shots easily look like a 4 star transfer.. I guess consistency in image quality fluctuates a lot. The audio lacked punch. Dynamic compression maybe the cause but thats my only real complaint for the audio.

The picture quality doesn't shine as well when compared to other new releases but I believe this is the best this film will look on the BD format. Maybe a future double-dip will prove me wrong. The TrueHD track is a big leap over the lossy dolby track, not only with dialog reproduction but dynamic range & seamless 360 active surround usage.

I read a bunch of reviews for this title & the majority feel this is the best of the best picture quality however the first issue I noticed when I popped it in was unfortunately DNR. While I don't mind DNR if it isn't excessively used but to my surprise it is in this transfer. Looking past that, the rest of the image throughout is flawless. I caught a few scenes which appeared soft but I'm 99% sure it was intentional. The audio in the reviews I've read didn't appreciate what they claim could have been constant surround usage. Excuse me, but this accusation is pure non-sense. Lowering an audio rating because you feel there could have been more surround usage is in the same ballpark as saying you do not like grain in films such as 300 so you should lower your rating. What do these people expect? I'm dumbfounded. Anyways, my take on the TrueHD track is nothing short of spectacular. Dialog is crisp & clear throughout (This is where reviewers wanted more surround usage) even with some channels which are active with background noise. One thing I do agree with the reviews I've read is not a technical one. I would have liked the film to have more music. These numbers really do make this track demo worthy & rival some lossless concerts imo. Definitely one to check out even if your not into bollywood.

This is the third time I've had to endure this picture (twice in SD) & the movie doesn't get any better in HD, that said it is a very nice video & audio upgrade which exceeded my expectations. There are a few instances of edge enhancement so I couldn't give this one a 10/10 but everything else is flawless. The LPCM track just trumps over the Lossy track. Dynamic range is very good & surrounds get a work out during musical numbers. My only gripe with this audio transfer was dialog didn't come off as clear as I expected.. minor distortion in the center channel. Its so minimal though (almost not worthy of bringing it up) so I doubt most would catch it & even if you do, it isn't distracting from the film.

No noticeable differences in the PQ from proper sitting distances however both still have some heavy DNR in a few spots. Both tracks are reference.

It was tough to notice the difference between 1.5mbps & the TrueHD track also found on the HD DVD. The DD+ is better than the 640kbps found on the BD but both lossless tracks are par. The BIGGEST issue however I had with the HD DVD release is gone on the BD entirely. No video stutter.

These 2 double feature BCI BDs are definetly below average for PQ/AQ. For $10 though they are not a total loss if your a fan of these films. While there is print damage, grain, EE & DNR, I did notice a leap in quality over SD.

Like the HD DVD, the PQ is excellent. My only complaint is dynamic range is not in check, in other words there is no balance at all between dialog driven scenes & action scenes.

Video quality ain't too bad with minor edge enhancement & a few compression artifacts. The 7.1 dts-HDMA track has slight distortion with dialog but the real issue & why I dropped it 2 complete stars is a harsh poping sound which occasionally happens through the surrounds. These sounds are easily heard & distracting. The first Harold & Kumar film doesn't have this issue.

HD Video - 8/10

HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 9/10

So close to a 9 for video, not even funny. A few scenes are washed away with blur ..errr.. should say look as though ya took your glasses off midway through the picture while all other shots are near reference quality for a film now 10+ years old. The TrueHD track is on par with the lossy Dolby 640k mix during dialog scenes. Only action scenes really boost the audio quality which thankfully there are plenty.

Every Which Way But Loose (1978)

HD Video - 9/10
HD Audio Dolby Digital - 8/10
HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 8/10

The video is presented in its native 1.85:1 aspect ratio. A few nighttime scenes suffer from minor noise & grain. No edge enhancement or digital noise compression. Color reproduction is excellent during outdoor daylight scenes & the extra resolution definitely shows with incredible detail. I actually wasn't expecting this one to look this good sinse it was made 30 years ago but you would not think it seeing today! Warner gives ya the usual soundtrack options, lossy Dolby & lossless TrueHD tracks. Unfortunately dialog is distorted a bit on both tracks & there really isn't enough of an improvement with the TrueHD track to warrant a higher rating. Surrounds are pretty much inactive throughout, being a comedy, most of the track is front heavy with the mains & center receiving the most attention & oddly the LFE channel is also very quiet throughout.

The Gauntlet (1977)

HD Video - 10/10
HD Audio Dolby Digital - 8/10
HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 8/10

The 2.40:1 video transfer is nothing less than perfection. Having just seen "Every Which Way But Loose" which was a surprise in the video department, Warner really must like Clint Eastwood because I couldn't detect a single flaw with "The Gauntlet" which is rare for a film this old. Skin tones are dead on throughout, no contrast wavering, excellent color, no EE or DNR. Because of this, most of the transfer has that 3D pop. I can't imagine this film looking any better! On the other hand, Warner offers its lossy Dolby & lossless TrueHD tracks which both are unfortunately underwhelming. Given its age I can understand some audio limitations but either track didn't sound as good as I thought it could. Mostly front heavy, dialog comes off a bit distorted & surrounds do not have any sort of a 360 soundfield when there is action. LFE is again weak to when bullets fly by or explosions occur.

Marine Aquarium (2008)

HD Video - Reference
HD Audio dts-HDHR - 9/10

Demonstration video of 3 different areas of fishes. Kinda like turn ya TV into an aquarium with a small exception. This was the first real film shot at 4k resolution. Blu-ray x 4. No matter where I took a look at my screen I couldn't detect a single flaw. Usually with projection tvs, the closer you are to the set (beyond normal viewing distances), the more likely you'll see noise or grain. Notta here, & I would have liked to have seen a bit on a LCD flat panel to compare. The image is so sharp with clarity.. ahh ya get the point. The High-res dts audio @ 3.8mbps ain't bad but of the 3 fishy selections, 1 has a poppin sound throughout which is why no perfect 10.

Married Life (2007)

HD Video - 9/10
HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 9/10

Sony Pictures presents Married Life with a AVC 1.85:1 transfer. The picture is quite consistent throughout. Some scenes suffer from minor noise & grain while there is noticeable edge enhancement during high contrast or lit scenes. Skin tones for the most part are dead on but I spotted frequently a processed look to them with strong yellow & red highlights. This lossless TrueHD track is for the most part front heavy. Dialog is sharp with no distortion. Sinse the film is all talk, I found little to be desired with surround usage or brief LFE moments.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

HD Video - 9/10
HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 10/10

The HD transfer is near perfection. I detected a small amount of Edge Enhancement with intentional grain. DNR is in check as well though there are close-up shots which have an overblown contrast resulting in un-natural skin tones at times but overall this is a solid video presentation. The TrueHD track was a nice surprise to my ears. Everything from vocals, surrounds & channel placement is excellent. During loud action scenes or musical numbers no channel gets washed away leaving every channel crystal clear & loud. Great stuff.

Eagle Eye (2008)

HD Video - 9/10
HD Audio Dolby TrueHD - 9/10

The HD transfer suffers a bit of jaggies during fast action scenes such as nighttime car chases. There is some intentional grain but nothing that distracts you from the video quality. Close-up shots reveal a more processed look to skin tones but for the most part this transfer is sharp with rare scenes which appear soft. The TrueHD track is very active. Kinda a mixed bag. While dialog is crisp & clear, dynamic range during loud action isn't mixed as good as I thought it could be. The 360 wow factor isn't here either leaving a Dolby ping-pong effect with the surrounds. Still most of my complaints are rather nitpicks & this is a near 10 audio track.
