Full Metal Jacket Poor Quality? - Blu-ray Forum

brucemaxray · 12-28-2007, 08:27 PM

Hi all
I've been playing various Blu-ray Disc's on my PS3 with pin sharp and clear imaging, I have just tried a Blu-ray version of Stanley Kubricks 'Full Metal Jacket' (1080P 16x9), and have to say that it is dreadful.
Its appears to be 'grainy and of poor quality. I am connecting using HDMI, on a TV that has prooved it can deliver.
Has anyone else tried this film?
Ta Bruce

Is it the original version or the remastered one? The original release had horrible PQ.

Memnoch71 · 12-28-2007, 08:33 PM

Is the Remastered one in a White Package like the DVD or is it the Green One?

brucemaxray · 12-28-2007, 08:35 PM

I can only assume it has been re-mastered.

Remastered is the Green.

you got the bad copy. sorry.

brucemaxray · 12-28-2007, 08:43 PM

ok, thanks for clearing that up for me,

Does seem a bit odd that they bother to market 2 Blu-ray versions of the same disc, and only one of them is HD

they both are hd. one is a very poor hd transfer though. it was one of the earlier blu-ray releases and they didn't exactly know how to make the picutre look as nice back then. they went back, fixed some things, re-released it and now the new one looks much better.

I got the Bad one too. It was a Christmas gift, I guess I'll just go exchange it for the Good one. (Not had a chance to open it yet! Lucky for me.)

Why are there still remnants of the bad version almost 1 1/2 yrs later???

brucemaxray · 12-28-2007, 09:19 PM

Thats a good question, this was bought last week as a Christmas presant from a High Street store, the former Virgin retail chain

Whytewash · 12-28-2007, 09:36 PM

The deluxe edition came out about 2 months ago and the original is well over a year old...

Im pretty sure that they wont be making any more of the first transfer but I doubt they will pull it from shelves and miss out on lost profits.

I have the original white version and don't remember the pq being that bad. Then again it was one of my first few movies so perhaps if I watched it again I might feel differently, especially when compared to POTC.

blix01 · 12-29-2007, 10:38 AM

I received the 'good' copy, as one of my freebee's when I bought my ps3.
Unfortunately I didn't think it was a very good movie.

thompson340 · 12-29-2007, 11:11 AM

Well that sucks, I got the white version a while back and haven't watched it yet (due to too many other films to watch). I got it from Virgin Megastores/ Zavvi earlier this month, they didn't have the other version.
