I have the UK Import, and I've already commented about it in a couple of other threads. In my opinion, it is one of the greatest transfers I've ever seen. It's practically perfect as far as the audio and video qualities are concerned.

Ralph's review is up in AVS.

Yet another misprint by BVHE. Recruit LPCM is 16-bit and not 24-bit.

Good news 1: includes all the extras from the DVD version

Good news 2: includes $10 upgrade coupon

That will help some people out considering this release has a "new release" list price of $34.99. Disney was releasing catalog titles at $29.99, but they're creeping up pricing.

I'm waiting for a sale on all catalog titles now. It's not worth buying them when they first come out. I'm learning the art of patience.

Hell, it's not worth buying new titles either. I just got 27 dresses through amazon for $17 shipped. I'll just wait until prices are decent.

To anyone who has this movie on Blu and watched it....

I have been happy to see the high ratings given to the PQ of this movie and was planning on upgrading my DVD. Are there any scense that suffer from alot of grain?

Clark Kent · 06-05-2008, 10:08 PM

There is not a lot of visible grain except in some low light scenes. It's a good looking Blu-ray.

Grant Matrix · 06-06-2008, 11:45 AM

I took a chance, opened it up hoping for the best, and I was very pleased. Not one grainy scene in the entire picture. I was very hesitant given that much of the movie uses darker scenes, but I was really impressed and I have become very critical about even the smallest PQ issues!
