What were other early titles with bad transfers aside from Fifth Element? - Blu-ray Forum

that guy steveee · 08-15-2007, 08:50 PM

Ive been buying Blu Ray movies left and right until I came across the Fifth Element incident, now im worried I may have some on order that could be rereleased later. I have a massive 500+ dvd collection and one thing that irked me was rereleases!!! Please dont continue this trend!!! Anyone have a list of the current blu ray titles that were poorly made along with the Fifth Element?

Thanks much

I have one in mind ... "House of the Flying Daggers" .. SQ is very good but PQ is not far from the DVD release.

Refer to this thread for more bad titles https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=11371

When Sony remastered The Fifth Element, they provided a free exchange program.

Anyways, if a movie is going to be remastered, it's likely to be at the bottom of this list:

Warner is rereleasing Full Metal Jacket, but I know of no others.

Agreed. I found it over-saturated which affected the sharpness.

Tomb Raider so far has been the worse quality disc I've seen. Kiss Of The Dragon isn't that great either.

X-Men 3 and Kung Fu Hustle - cat on a wall transfer

phil · 08-16-2007, 06:27 AM

X-men 3 ? that's a shame. I mean the price is alot, and you mean that extra 20 bucks or so isn't well justified? Damn I was about to pick this up in the next week or so.
