Great News: Die Hard I - Blu-ray Forum

hollywoodguy · 11-01-2007, 10:12 PM

Now this is a must-own.

PQ- Beautifully film-like, appropriately grainy, surprisingly sharp, great detail, faithful colors, no print damage, compression artifacts or edge enhancement. Some softness in the source. 4.5/5

AQ- Apart from some minor occasional muffled dialogue due to original recording conditions, this R-O-C-K-S. Very spacious, clean & dynamic with intense, realistic sound effects. The scene where the heavies shoot all the glass... turn it down if you're renting, it's insane. Overall probably 4/5 due to some limitations in the source, but many scenes are reference level.

Overall, a revelation. Like seeing the movie for the first time.

I'm gonna get me this as soon as it comes out in Belguim. Love Die Hard!

Cool.. all dvd release where awful, the 2nd one was better and the 3rd one was Awfuller than the First... (PQ on DVD)

kowhite · 11-01-2007, 11:28 PM

Man I can't wait for this. I've never owned this on DVD, so my main experience with Die Hard is low quality showings on HBO or TNT or something. This will be a huge upgrade for me that and...god damn do I love these movies.

Now I'm glad I held out.

Drew664 · 11-01-2007, 11:31 PM

Can you buy just Die Hard 1 without getting the box set?

I can't stand Die Hard 3 and I could live without owning 2..

I am for sure gonna buy Die Hard 4 though.

Yes you can. They are selling the boxset with all four, but they are also releasing them all individually.

I am a fan of them all, mostly the first one though, so I'll be getting the boxset.

Seretur · 11-02-2007, 12:09 AM

This is the only film in the series I think I'll end up owning, so thanks for the early review.

Getting 1-4 for Christmas

I held off watching a couple on tv recently so they're fresher for the Blu-ray experience.

I loved the first and third, could barely watch the second (I don't think I've ever finished it) and the fourth looks like crap.

On the contrary, the fourth looks amazing.

Ah, cool!!! I now plan to add this title to my evey expanding list of pre-orders. Thanks again for the early review.

Die Hard 1,2 & 3 didn't look good at all in HD broadcast. If the OP's remarks are true I would love to buy Die Hard 1 and 3 but not 2 and PG-13 Die Soft 4.

shamus · 11-02-2007, 06:20 AM

Thanks OP...
Did you buy the 4 disc set? Is it seperate discs or one big case containing all four movies? Where did you get it at?
