I'm thinking about buying Elf on Blu-ray from Amazon. Worth buying, or should I wait? Thanks!

I had ELf on regular DVD and purchased it on Blu ray and there is a tremodous improvement in picture quality. This is a christmas favourite in our family and if you appreciate the improvement Blu ray brings to video, you best get out and buy it.

I dont know this is the worst case of DNR ive ever seen.

SeanMF · 04-08-2009, 01:21 AM

Looked good to me. Improvement over dvd. If a fan of this movie...I'd say get the blu-ray.

Minimejer05 · 04-08-2009, 03:13 AM

Its a little better then the DVD. If you can get it for 15ish I would say its worth it.

DNR?

I have and I enjoyed it. It was a good upgrade over the DVD

*picks up phone* Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?...

The transfer could definitely be improved. Heavy DNR is apparent, but for fans I would recommend it.

"I love singing, singing's my favorite"

I haven't gotten Elf on BD yet, but I definitely will before next Christmas. Anyone have the first two Home Alone movies? How do they look?

Would you not semi-agree that for a movie like this, (the amount of) DNR isn't all that critical? I mean it's not like we're watching some super-awesome action flick or something. It's pretty pedestrian as far as what it has to offer from a visual stimulation point of view. It's just a good movie.

Buy it, its great!

Damage Inc. · 04-08-2009, 05:51 PM

Can't be much wrong with it...
I mean, I rented the DVD-version only some months ago and it was excellent overall.
The image was already great on DVD except you could of course see some blurry/soft edges
when using a bigger screen or projection.
But the colors were great and the whole look of it was just really nice.
At least, if you set your equipment a bit right.
It's actually one of the DVDs I kind of calibrated my projector and DVD-player with.
I doubt, if this is a whole new HD-transfer, that it could be less than acceptable for a movie like this.

looks real good! Do it!
