Agreed!

[Brady_2_Moss]

Good new then! Cant wait to get it.

[Gremal]

You're in for a treat.

Well, I just watched it for the 2nd time today, this time I focused on the 5.1 PCM track (24/48) since I just got my Pioneer that can do all of the HD tracks. It has great PQ, but the audio is where it's at. You should enjoy it as it's a great movie as well as on the technical side of things.

Enjoy!

From the review about the picture quality

With its AVC MPEG-4 video on BD-50, the picture quality of No Country for Old Men stands on the highest rung of the home video ladder. Color vibrancy, black level, resolution and contrast are reference quality. Together, the specifications add up to lifelike detail; skin so realistically colored and textured you'd think you could touch it; depth so convincing it will put you in the middle of the landscapes and action. There is simply no way to overstate the quality of the video, from the way the Coen brothers shot the film to the way it was produced in 1080p. The Prestige and Bridge to Terabithia come close, but No Country may be in class of video quality by itself. Contributing to the immediacy of the imagery is the Coens' unflinching look at the unique characters. Every line and wrinkle in Bell's face is resolved and Chigurh sports a pageboy haircut in which every strand of hair appears individually distinguishable. No other film brings its characters to life so vividly solely on the merits of visual technicalities.

Unlike many films on Blu-ray, No Country does not shy away from lingering on the makeup used to portray blood and wounds. With the level of detail possible at 1080p, makeup and special effects can be problematic, but this movie shows gunshot wounds close up, and they appear ultrarealistic. After one of the main characters suffers a shotgun blast to the leg, the camera shows the wound as the injured man cleans and disinfects it, injects the surrounding skin with lidocaine, removes pieces of buckshot and dresses the wound. Throughout the scene, the camera lingers on the skin as it oozes blood and exposes a nasty circular radiation of blast pellets. But mostly, the scene delivers reference-quality video footage that shows the wound so convincingly, it elicits winces and groans from everyone in the audience.

And the closeups are the least of it. Sweeping scenery like that of Moss walking in the desolate plains early in the film best shows why No Country is a visual stunner. Nearly every shrub appears in gorgeous detail, stretching off into the distance. A lone tree in the countryside appears in mesmerizing definition, with seemingly every leaf individually resolved. The earthtones of chaparral, ground and sky gracefully complement their respective forms. Dark scenes are equally impressive, predominantly noise-free, even in areas of inky blacks. Watch the nighttime shoot-out between Moss and Chighur outside the hotel. The dark streets come alive with detail, highlights and sharpness bursting from the screen with the impact of the gunshots themselves. As bullets slam through the windshield of Moss' getaway car, watch as every crack and bullet hole in the glass is extraordinarily defined.

Yes, it is good!

Did you get the new 2 disc one?

[Rob J in WNY]

Well, it certainly didn't take long to get the answer to your question!

No Country for Old Men is a thing of beauty. There is only dialog and sound effects, and ambient noises - no musical score, save for the BD Menu and closing credits. The dialog is extremely well recorded, and will separate great center-channel speakers from the good ones. Its 24-bit lossless audio is equalled only by the reference-quality picture. This film invokes every reason why a filmmaker would choose a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

To be sure, it's not a movie for everyone. The pace is never in a hurry, but the movie needs this drawn-out nature to tell the story properly. It leaves you with nothing but your own conclusions and reasoning.

Enjoy it!

Above-average PQ and AQ all the way, regardless of whether you have the original release or the new 2-disc edition! You won't be disappointed!

[Iron-Blu-123]

Haha, I remember that review.

[degarcia09]

I will definately pick up once am done owning the top 100 movies according to AFI.

[robertc88]

Reference disc for demo purposes of the format when I want to show its capability. Yep, it is that good.

[Chordata]

Love it. The PQ was great; there's not much to the AQ since it's a lot of dialogue.

It's a movie I could watch again and again. The setting is great, the chase is great, and the actors are great.

[bongzilla]

Its a wonderful blood bath.

[Brady_2_Moss]
