Glory (1989) - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 05-27-2009, 03:15 PM

Honestly, "Glory" is one of my favorite (or favorite) war films of all time. The acting, the characters, the action, the soaring music, and the final battle scene just make it so darn good. I own it on DVD, but can't wait to upgrade to Blu.

I worry though. I feel like the Blu won't be that great in PQ quality only because the DVD always looked dreary, grainy, and had specks of dirt. I hope they fix the dirt problem, but I'm fine with dreary and grainy, because that's how it was filmed.

Just 6 more days...

I am psyched for this as well.

I saw on Home Theater Forum that they have a review but I can't post a link. It kinda states to not expect the video to look amazing but for how it was shot, it's appropriate for the film and a good job. They state that the audio is where it really shines.

I personally want this one really bad. I am really looking forward to hearing this lossless track and the beauty of Horner's finest score.

Audio is enough- CANNON BLASTS

AikonEnt · 05-27-2009, 03:35 PM

A very good film that I will be adding to my collection at some point in the future.

P@t_Mtl · 05-27-2009, 03:37 PM

Great Civil War movie, I do hope they make a good release on this, it deserving of it.

dogger114 · 05-27-2009, 03:41 PM

I have been waiting for this movie. It has been delayed too long and I hope they did a good job on it. Being from Mass. and all the history around here it always interested me. Not to mention that the memorial they show at the end of the film is right around the cornner from my work and I walk past it every day. I did not even notice it before I saw the movie.

JRS03 · 05-27-2009, 03:51 PM

Great film! I cant wait!

I'm psyched. Easily one of my all-time favorite films.

I absolutely hate that they've done away with the original artwork and replaced it with another of the typical bad-photoshopped-floating-heads picture. But it won't keep me from purchasing it.

broganreynik · 05-27-2009, 04:37 PM

I'm pumped for this movie! Definitely my favorite Civil War movie. Zwick (almost) always delivers.

Darkhawk9587 · 05-27-2009, 04:37 PM

Definitely psyched now. Didn't know this was coming out so soon. Day one purchase for sure.

Speaking of Zwick, let's hope they release LEGENDS OF THE FALL this year too!!

Very nice cover.

Drexyl666 · 05-27-2009, 05:34 PM

i'm feeling giddy just thinkin' about. this is one of my all-time favorite movies and IS my favorite war movie. Glory was one of the first movies I ever thought about when I decided to get in to the whole Blu-ray thing, so needless to say , I was all over this the second it became available for pre-order. For me, price would be no object.

some of the other films I first thought of when I went Blu are Blade and True Romance and here I am getting all 3 within a week of each other....... i'm in Blu heaven right now.
