Limited Paramount movies - Blu-ray Forum

Bagman · 01-15-2008, 03:57 PM

So, how many movies has Paramount released exclusively in HD-DVD to this point? They may be a big player overall, but they have only been exclusive to HD-DVD for a few months, and as best I can recall, have been fairly sparse in their releases. HD DVD seems more like a one trick pony at this point.

Let's see... The major ones are Transformers, Blades of Glory, Star Trek, Anchorman, Old School, and Top Gun.

Top Gun's pretty good, but wow, that list is pretty short and pathetic...

Star Trek and Transformers are the only ones that interest me.

Star Trek interests me, but not at that price point. Which again, is why I never bought it on DVD.

almy · 01-15-2008, 05:51 PM

If they went BLU tomorrow, the only titles I'd buy (that have been HD only) are the 4 Jack Ryans, Face-Off (totally unbelieveable but fun) and possiblt Top Gun - but I really want the Jack Ryans....

Super_Mecha_Godzilla · 01-15-2008, 05:54 PM

Yeah pretty much Transformers is the only movie that they have released that I am interested in.

WickyWoo · 01-15-2008, 06:13 PM

Face off, and Jack Ryan if there hadn't been the recall

Bullseye · 01-15-2008, 06:15 PM

Face Off is available in the UK as a BV release.

I think it'd be preferable to view it in SD since (though it was shot on film) that's how it was intended to be seen. As for doing over the effects, I always thought the original ones have a kind of primitive charm. Or maybe I'm being too much of a purist.

MFS3Kiryu · 01-15-2008, 06:27 PM

None of the movies they have out on HD-DVD interest.

pbnbcr · 01-15-2008, 06:27 PM

Um, you forgot Hot Rod...

Don't forget Gladiator

glenn22 · 01-15-2008, 06:30 PM

I'd have bought Hot Rod, Transformers, and I'd seriously consider Star Trek.

Gladiator has not been released yet. By the time they get around to releasing it they will be back with BD.

I've seen original episodes on 35mm, looks fantastic

As soon as I can get it for a reasonable price, I'll defiantely pick up TOS 1 and 2 (3 requires $50 or under, too many crappy eps)

I know Gladiator has not been released yet, I misunderstood and just named a Dreamworks Movie I'd want on BD, didn't realize the list was only movies that are currently released, My bad.

Drewza89 · 01-15-2008, 06:56 PM

I would love to see Zodiac: The Director's Cut on Blu.

phelps · 01-15-2008, 07:02 PM

For me it has and always will be transformers (paramount and dreamworks) and o brother where art thou? (universal)
