The Square Blu-ray Review

cool hand bluke · 08-21-2010, 01:13 PM

It sounds very good. DVDBeaver has a review up. Also HiDefDigest has a review up too. While both give the movie itself a great review, both are unimpressed with the picture quality, which is a pity. Dvdtalk has a review up and they seem more impressed with the quality.

It is a first film and it was shot in 16mm and blown up to 35mm from what I can gather, so it'll never look great.

Still over $30 on amazon.

There again, it's only a question of time before the price falls. It looks like it never got a blu-ray release in Australia either so this could be all we'll get.

Shouldn't be long till blu-ray dot com has a review up.

Watched the region A bluray last weekend. Picture quality is ok, and there is not much action audio-wise either. Entertaining enough, but not one ill be watching again soon.

Some lower, more reasonable prices (as I write):

deepdiscount.com 22.32
dvdplanet.com 21.97
dvdempire.com 22.49
walmart.com 22.86

(The DVDs are priced 2 to 4 bucks cheaper, dvdplanet.com is cheapest at 17.71.)

I saw Harry Brown and very much enjoyed it, but I dunno if I would get it.

I have this on my Netflix Q to come on Tuesday. I saw a trailer for it when I rented a movie a while back, looks interesting.

The Square Blu-ray Review

Realist01 · 08-28-2010, 03:09 PM

The Square was a decent movie. Nothing more and nothing less. I have seen these types of movies done before better and I have seen the done worse. It's definitely a movie I wouldn't buy, but for a first time watch, you can't go wrong.

The picture quality is lacking big time.
