which of these arent worth the upgrade? - Blu-ray Forum

tigs6969 · 03-19-2011, 12:25 AM

Okay so I noticed I got all these dvds here and I'm wondering which are and aren't worth upgrading to blu ray or which look just as good upscaled.
I ask because I do have some blu rays I had on dvd and I am somewhat glad I upgraded

Gremlins
Childs play 1-5
Alien 1-4
i know what you did last summer
l.a. confidential
die hard 1-4
blair witch 1
braveheart

I have the Alien 1-4 ~ Die Hard 1-4 & Braveheart & they are worth the upgrade, Especially for the sound track on them.

Since Blair Witch was largely filmed and entirely edited in SD, that's an easy one.

Alien, Aliens, and Braveheart are top notch quality.
Die Hard 1 looks very good (considering how and when it was shot), haven't seen the rest on blu.

Gremlins - Haven't seen it on Blu
Childs play 1-5 - Haven't seen it on Blu
Alien 1-4 - Looks to be worth it, they are coming out individually so you'll have more options in May.
i know what you did last summer - Haven't seen it on Blu
l.a. confidential - Definitely
die hard 1-4 - I've only seen part 1 and it was good.
blair witch 1 - No
braveheart - Definitely

I would say Alien 4 looks pretty much like the DVD just a bit upscaled. But then again...who watches Alien 4?

Gardenofstone10 · 03-19-2011, 02:14 AM

Gremlins is absolutely beautiful on blu ray and the Alien movies and Die Hard movies are pretty damn good, as well.

Agreed!

I upgraded my Braveheart and L.A. Confidential DVDs to Blu-Ray and twas def worth it and I usually am hesitant to make the upgrade, so there you go.

Thanks for that. I love L.A. Confidential but haven’t picked it up yet. That’ll change now.

When I do watch it I just watch the middle hour of the film and skip over the rest. The beginning is downright boring and the ending is horrible.

If you like them all, they're all worth upgrading except for Blair Witch. Standard def video can only look so good.
