Looking for advice - Blu-ray Forum

JasonR · 04-24-2008, 10:07 PM

I'm torn....

I am stuck between three movies and need help deciding. I can only get one.

Layer Cake - Blind buy, but I like British gangster movies (i.e. Snatch & Lock Stock) and the PQ is supposed to be great.

ID4 - Good popcorn flick that I like, but have heard mixed reviews on the PQ. Great price right now.

Troy - Decent movie, supposedly has awesome PQ.

Please help me decide.

ID4 is one of the best sounding Blu's I have, the PQ is not that bad, looked good to me!

Layer Cake is a great flick and if you already enjoy that type of movie you wont be di

sapointed at all.

TROY! I love to watch in 4 hours straight! Awesome PQ!

cdot2four · 04-24-2008, 10:24 PM

i didnt care for layer cake i love snatch and all those movies and this didnt qualify as one of them.

I love ID4 and i love Troy just flip a coin

I haven't seen these on Blu-ray yet, but you can have my advice anyway:
it's spelled "supposedly"

Happy shopping!

Gah! Buy ID4 and Troy for $40 at your Target. Must have titles for PQ and SQ.

Marine Mike · 04-24-2008, 10:28 PM

Layer Cake was interesting and I can only see it once.

Troy was somewhat on the same level in the sense of only wanting to see it once, but I could see myself seeing it maybe 4 more times max.

ID4 I would have to say hands down one of my favorite movies regardless of how others may feel about it. Also, it has awesome AQ to it, the PQ wasn't too bad considering the age, but the audio definately made up for it though.

Yeah, that's the best thing to do.

Lucy Diamond · 04-24-2008, 10:31 PM

Troy.

Never saw Layer Cake

ID4 can have it's good mix and PQ but it will never be a good movie.
That movie was hype then and it's hype now...it is simply hype in Blu.

Either way though, it is your choice and your collection. You will most likely end up with all three anyway.

Troy is a freakin M A R A T H O N though

Enjoy

Yeah, didn't think that looked right. This forum needs spell check.

Troy is certainly NOT great PQ

This statement is very true. Everytime there is a slow week I look at these three, I have most everything else I want. That said, I picked up ID4 because it was on sale. The other two will be bought somewhere between now and Master and Commander. Thanks guys!!!
