Suggestions for buying Blus - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 02-18-2010, 12:52 AM

Hey everyone,

Just got some money from the birthday and looking to buy some blus. Here's what I'm considering buying. I've seen them all so it's basically just based off of PQ, AQ, and replayability for everyone else.

King Kong (own the 3 disc extended cut already)
Gamer (have watched not best quality version, action seemed choppy, but that could be different on Blu)
Pandorum (thought this was great on standard DVD)
Perfect Getaway (same as above)
Deep Impact (saw this awhile ago, but I'm craving some destruction and a good story)
L.A. Confidential (actually, I've never seen this, but hear it's incredible and I love deep stories)

I'm only going to get 5 probably so tell me the 5 that you think are worth buying. Thanks.

And again, I've seen all of these save for "L.A.," I just want everyone's opinion.

Good movie that one... you won't be sorry. I enjoyed it a lot.

IMO, i would go w/ Kong and L.A. But i would pass on the others and get Changling (PQ/deep story), The Day After Tomorrow (AQ/PQ), Law Abiding Citizen (AQ/PQ/STORY), Monsters' Inc. (AQ/PQ), or UP! (PQ/STORY).

But thats just my opinion.

Gamer for AQ
Pandorum and King Kong for PQ

Get King Kong and L.A. Confidential, skip the others.

I'd go for King Kong. Great PQ (Naomi Watts at her best

in HD) & great AQ as well.

King Kong for sure. Amazing on Blu-ray. Haven't seen any of the others.
