Darks are really, really dark...help... - Blu-ray Forum

SnakEyes · 04-16-2008, 04:17 AM

So, I have been waiting for ever for AVP2 and I finally got it and put it in...The frustration level of not being able to see anything is driving me crazy. I do not have this problem with any other movie (BD or HD) that I have bought. The dark parts are black-If I had not watched this movie in theatres I would have no idea what is happening in certain parts. Is this a common problem and how, if I can, do I fix it? Please help cause this is pissing me off.

I know it's dark-but I do not remember it being this dark in the theatre.

yes it is. As the one review stated-I do not recall any other movie being this dark, but I guess that was Fox's M.O.

When I had my LCD t.v There were times where I had to turn up the brightness with some movies.

Honestly can not remember those. Example-The cool sewer fight/scene, couldn't tell what was going on- it was really dark. I'm still going to say this movie is B.A, cause it is!

uh, dark.
speaking of dark-maybe not the greatest movie for your pregnant wife to see-eh, alien/predator hybrid face sucking pregnant woman, etc. My wife (8 months pregnant) isn't caring much for it. hehe

SnakEyes · 04-16-2008, 04:38 AM

OK-well knowing it's suppose to be dark comforts me a bit. Gotta go-it's getting pretty close to the final show down. Suck on it Aliens!

She better not be pregnant!

I went under the knife five years ago!

Congratulations by the way!

Just got the BD from Blockbuster, I'm excited to see how dark this movie is on my Kuro.

Please let us know Mr. Vandelay. If that is your real name.

Chaka · 04-16-2008, 05:29 AM

good lord how dark can it be? This could be a whole new thread. World trade center was pretty dark but the clarity is amazing.

So, not a chick flick as the previews intimated?

ManUtd · 04-16-2008, 06:27 AM

This must be the darkest movie I have seen yet. It gave my Kuro a real workout.

I just paused in the sewer scene and took a pic for you guys:

Great Pic! Are those Dark Bars I see?

ManUtd · 04-16-2008, 07:23 AM

Yup, as you can see the black bars are as dark as some parts of the scene itself.
