Newly released Blu-ray quality issues(Another Davinci code story) - Blu-ray Forum

Why are there shoddy Blus coming out now? First Da Vinci Code, now talk of the Star Trek movies? Why are studios doing this? Blu is supposed to equal quaility, not hack jobs.

Because people buy them. I agree with you. Who would want a crappy blu? Many people apparently. Taste isn't universal and there not enough sense around for it to be called common.

True, but you also have to remember that studios are probably rushing to get these blus out as marketing ploys for their up and coming films. Quality means nothing to them compared to the money they can make.

I'm not aware of the "Shoddy" issues of the titles you mentioned. Do you have other titles in mind too?

I was really shocked when I read the review of the Davinci Code, it's not that old of a movie and it's from Sony no less!! They normally are top notch. I think though too if it's how the movie was intentionally shot the reviewers normally take that into consideration and make sure to mention that's the way it's supposed to be. They don't take points off for that so this appears to be just a bad job!

I've not heard about the Trek movies but it figures if there are issues. Paramount has almost always done a crappy job on anything Trek and I've been anxious and worried to see what they did with the movies on blu. I did think though that Star Trek 2 was supposed to have been restored by Lowry?

Am I losing my mind or did this thread have a different title and a lock not too long ago?

It looks fine to me. I gave it a four, as did Peter from HDD.
