STOP the OUTLANDER hate! Read why...

Note to admins: you may want to move this into the Outlander thread, but as there has been enough backlash regarding the release, I think this post stands out as fan mail as opposed to a statistical review

Alright folks... I think I've found reason to post only once or twice on these forums. Doesn't mean I'm not as committed to the world of high-def as the next guy... doesn't mean that I'm not addicted to tracking down the blu-ray sales or scouring the net for every single available review regarding a movies failings or successes with its presentation.

But sometimes, you just gotta plunk the movie into your player, sit back with a beverage and a big bowl of popcorn, and watch the d@mn show.

I just finished watching Outlander...a blind buy after hearing about it for the first time in forum chatter only a few weeks ago, and watching the very intriguing trailer online.

What a frickin' FANTASTIC show! Great concept, great acting, great presentation. And guess what? GREAT PICTURE!!! Amazing clarity that compliments the footage and the effects. And not ONCE did I think "gee...I think they cut out the picture. Am I missing something here?"

If you put this off because you're waiting for the "Absolute Best Intended Edition As Created By The Gods Of Blu-Ray" regarding either the aspect ratio or the fact that French is on the box...you're JUST...PLAIN...MISSING OUT.
This movie DIDN'T come to many theatres... a lot of people DON'T know about it... and that needs to CHANGE! Jim Cavaziel is perfect, the characters all make you care, the scenery is breathtaking, and the effects are beyond passable. They kick @ss!

To sum up, if you're a true MOVIE fan, and appreciate the new level of movie watching high def has brought to your home, trust me... THIS DISC, AS RELEASED will entertain you. If it doesn't, the stats of bit-rates and aspect ratios have destroyed your movie loving soul long ago.

Thanks to the Outlander gang for making my movie night.

Dammit, I thought I was a MOVIE fan, turns out I'm a fool for wanting what the director intended. Nuts.

I prefer OAR. I have Clerks, the 10th Anniversary Edition DVD. Whenever I watch it, I watch the Original Cut that is in Full Screen because the film was shot in Full Screen. When I watch whatever movie, I want it in it's OAR.
