ParaNorman Blu-ray - Nov 27, 2012 - Review

[ShamelessFanGirl]

Can anyone tell me if this is worth a blind buy or should I rent it first?

[laughingoctopus]

It's a very well-made, well written, nicely animated movie with a great blu-ray. Blind buy!

EDIT: Though I am much too late.

Worth $16? I enjoyed Coraline.

I do recommend it for $16, but liking Coraline doesn't factor much here. This is a comedy first and foremost, so check out some clips and trailers to see whether you like the sense of humor before buying.

I blind-bought, after not going to see it in the theater, since it was only playing in 3-D, which I dislike.

I just finished watching it, and am very happy with my purchase.

The story is great, the characters are likeable, and it has some really funny moments.

The PQ is PERFECT. I didn't find anything wrong with it, not even a banding.
Simply spectacular!!! It is so rare, that PQ is flawless, but this is it.
I am curious, if I am going to spot some errors the second time around, but nothing distracting at all the first time around.

The AQ is terrific as well, and there are some incredible moments.
Reference for me!

I really enjoyed this film, and will definitely watch it more than once.

I liked Coraline too.
It's different, so I wouldn't compare them too much.

I never watch horror films, but I loved the design for the zombies.
That was the initial reason to see it for me.

My rating:

Film 4/5
PQ: 5/5
AQ: 5/5

Haven't watched any of the extras yet, but it appears to be a healthy selection.

Where is this U-Control Picture-in-Picture track? I put the disc in 2 of my Blu-ray players and I can't find it anywhere. Both Blu-ray player can play Picture-in-Picture tracks.
