Opinion in The Patriot release....horrible quality

[grafpt]

I have read the review on here and noticed video was a 4.7. now to me thats a pretty damn good transfer. So I finally purchased it this past week and watched it. I think the video quality is HORRIBLE. The colors are WAY to saturated and the whole movie was unnecessary grainy. And after reading the review on here i had high expectations. Im running a PS3 to 40" 1080p Sony Bravia only 1 month old.

SO i have two questions....

-Is there and possibility of a bad disc? (yes it was THAT bad imo)
im not sure if there is such a thing as that but if their is i will exchange

-Does anyone else agree with my opinion on the disc and that its just a bad transfer in genral

its a movie i mention as one of the best looking blurays

Same here, cdot! It's got crisp detail, powerful colors - beautiful audio. a bit grainy in some parts, but nothing overbearing or distracting to be sure.

i thought the patriot looked awesome!

The PQ is exceptional. It's possible you haven't calibrated your monitor, and perhaps you have the sharpness turned too far up?

Another possibility is that you equate film grain with poor PQ and were expecting something more along the lines of a movie shot with HD cameras.

Just to throw in my two cents worth but I also think the PQ for The Patriot is pretty good. The red of the British uniforms and the many flags jump out. Considering that it is a historical period piece the director was probably going for color saturation.

I thought the PQ is very good.

the movie pq might of been underrated due to it being part of the "Free 5 blu-ray movie offer" back in 07

The Patriot looks amazing on Blu-ray.

I also think the PQ of 'The Patriot' is really good--one of the best I've seen, in fact. The colors are very warm and well saturated, but certainly not overly so. Sounds like your display might need some adjusting???

i'm still pissed because i was sent SWAT instead of this movie for the 5 free offer when i bought my playstation.
i have no intention of purchasing this movie now, but i saw clips of it on a blu-ray display and it looked great.

dont feel bad... my copy of american psycho .. came with a case with no disc inside lol

Patriot is one of my very favorites. My copy has great PQ.

Calibrate? A disk looking that good needs no calibration. If its as bad as matey says anyway. I'd never heard of anyone calibrating for one single title.

dude it's your tv...or your eyesight

This Blu looks great

The DVD of Patriot was hailed for it's excelllent PQ. The BLU raised by bar set by the DVD, by many levels. Though the extended portions looked noisy and soft, I thought the remaining parts boasted good to excellent PQ.

thread title change? Awesome quality?

check your output on from your ps3 to your tv, switch it to 1080p or automatic. something isn't right or your expecting too much b/c this movie's PQ is pretty damn good.
