Those people must not know what compression artifacts are or uncompressed sound...

It's not the kind of film that has a lot of wow-factor PQ-wise but I thought it was a very noticeable upgrade over the DVD (especially the audio).

Same here. Not to mention if your DVD player is lacking a buffer, Signs had one of the worst layer changes to date. And towards the end of the movie, it suffered from some of the worst compression artifacting I have ever seen. The Dolby EX track was nice though, but doesn't hold a candle to the PCM track.

Freakin' awesome movie! Definitely worth the upgrade.

Not really noticed even during the nighttime scenes in the cornfields or around the house. Nitpicking, I'd say maybe nighttime inside the house or in the basement but this movie didin't really come across as dark IMHO on my displays (I have two).

Great bang for buck BD title to tell the truth.

The quality is awesome, one of the best Blu-Ray's I've viewed yet.
