Mission Impossible 4 terrible quality

[eclimax13]

After reading all the 5 star ratings on the pq, I'm very disappointed in what I've seen. All during the movie and especially at the end the black are severely digitized and fade in and out. Did I get a bad transfer or are others seeing this. It's not an equipment issue so how does no one else who rated this movie see this?

I felt the same way. I've got some BLUs in my collection with some amazing PQ. When I watched MI4, I was very disappointed in the PQ. To me, it barely looked better than DVD.

That's exactly what I said. I was wondering if I put the dvd in by mistake but I didn't. I've watched dvd's that looked better.

While it shouldn't matter, ill state that I own the 3 disc version.

Just bought my copy yesterday on Amazon for $9.99, but I won't get it for quite some time yet. However, regardless of PQ, I'll be happy having my complete Mission Impossible Blu-ray set complete with the latest installment at that price.

Same here. And I know it's not an equipment issue. My plasma can delivery stunning PQ - literally make you feel as if you can reach into the TV and touch the actors. But this BLU fell flat to me. Still enjoyed the film, but would have liked a much better PQ.

Pure rubbish.

Something has to be wrong...... because it looks just fine to me. In fact, it looks very good. Perhaps you got a bad disc... I am sure that can happen... but there is nothing wrong with what I am seeing.

Wha? Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol looks amazing on my 55" plasma and is borderline reference material. To call it barely better or on par with DVD is silly.

If it weren't for the possibility of your set-up not being calibrated properly I would think you were trolling saying that.

I was going to type all of that to his response, but was lazy and typed "Pure rubbish." instead.

It's not silly. It just means I have a different opinion than you.

And FYI: having a different opinion...even one that you personally strongly disagree with, is not "trolling". This is a discussion board. Meaning: people come here to discuss all aspects of various blu ray discs -- the good, the bad and the ugly. And the great thing about that: one will come across a wide variety of opinions, and having an opposing opinion isn't "trolling".

Which is fine. I wasn't saying flat out that you ARE trolling but you saying that Ghost Protocol has barely DVD quality PQ is an odd statement and not something you hear often. I can understand people saying its not perfect and has issues but "barely DVD quality" on discs like this is a bold statement, opinion or not.

Unfortunately these days opinions like yours on discs like this are indeed a minority and some are genuine and some simply are not. If you thought I was calling you a troll then I apologize and I DO understand the concept of opinion, trust me...thats just a "out of left field" remark on the PQ of a Blu thats been received by most as a reference quality disc.

It's okay though, I'm sure there are people out there that think Avatar has "barely better than DVD" PQ...but it they really believe that then they will be VERY dissapointed with Blu-Ray in general.

No harm done. No need to apologize or anything.

I know a lot of people (probably most in fact), think MI:4 PQ is amazing. Good for them. I just didn't see it.

Yes, however...

You can't really have an opinion on something provable. If the actual picture quality is graded, and proven to be sharper and more detailed than a DVD, then no amount of "opinion" can change the fact that it looks much better.

The film may look slightly better than a DVD....but that doesn't mean it looks great for a BLU. There are literally hundreds of BLUs that have PQ barely above that of DVD....even though on paper, their PQ should blow DVD out of the water.

This has been mentioned countless times by the pro and user reviewers on the site, and also many others. It's common knowledge that not all BLU transfers are created equal.

Might be your TV settings. Sharpness and dynamic contrast can do this. Your Brightness control may also be off as this controls the lowest level of visible black.

Nah, it looks and sounds fantastic.
