Is Batman Begins Worth the Switch to Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

seabterry · 04-08-2010, 01:37 AM

I know it's a great movie, but I hear bad things about the transfer. Does the AQ and PQ make this movie not worth the Blu purchase?

jomari · 04-08-2010, 01:42 AM

welcome to the foray!

is there any link you can provide us to show that the AQ and PQ are questionable?

i own both the DVD and the Blu-ray version, and am quite pleased of the 'upgrade'. I personally find the audio side alone is well worth the cost, let alone the visual side of it.

i bought it full price back then, but for the right price, id say its definitely worth it.

I upgraded and I dont regret it.

Same as the post above. I upgraded from DVD, then to HD-DVD, then to Blu and I haven't regretted it in any way. Honestly though, name a title you haven't heard bad things about the transfer. I certainly can't.

Some people aren't happy with the PQ, but it is still a clear upgrade over the DVD, so yes.

brewp13 · 04-08-2010, 01:51 AM

Yes, especially for $11.49.

Thats a great price I think I paid around $20 in 2008.
Batman Begins was my 2nd Blu-ray.I Love The PQ
At $11.49 why not upgrade

It's okay. Really soft but better than DVD. Could be a lot better though.

Steve · 04-08-2010, 02:03 AM

This was my first blu-ray and IMO it's definitely worth it.

Riddler95 · 04-08-2010, 02:03 AM

Batman Begins on Blu-Ray does look better than the DVD, but it is not the best improvement.

All Warner did was take the HD-DVD files and port them over to a Blu-Ray disc.

styl3s · 04-08-2010, 02:05 AM

Yeah it is defiantly worth the upgrade, the PQ/AQ is better then the DVD and it is a great film.

I got it for $9.99 on Amazon a little while back, and was pleased with the picture and sound quality.

ts0323 · 04-08-2010, 02:12 AM

I got it just today.
It doesn't have the greatest PQ, but it's a big improvement over the DVD. I say go for it.

Definitely

RocShemp · 04-08-2010, 02:23 AM

Worthwhile upgrade in both picture and sound. Plus it's dirt cheap these days.

5th-beatle · 04-08-2010, 04:08 AM

Batman Begins was my first BD (along with The Dark Knight), and for $9.99 it was a really good way to start a collection.

Be sure to check Amazon regularly, you will always find good deals that sometimes last for just a couple of days.

Sir Platypus · 04-08-2010, 04:13 AM

Another positive thing is that it is much easier to access the special features. You no longer have to go through the "comic" on the second disc.

MOONPHASE · 04-08-2010, 04:15 AM

It's a definite upgrade from dvd but I think there's room for improvement.

The transfers pretty good, by going to the Blu ray you are getting a Dolby True HD soundtrack.
