Potter: In theaters and/or On Blu - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

roshamboh · 07-14-2009, 11:49 PM

I will be watching in theaters, then buying on blu.

vegeta88 · 07-14-2009, 11:59 PM

I will only see it in theaters.
Maybe some day, when the whole set is cheap on Blu I'll buy; I can wait years on this series.

JunkBoy · 07-15-2009, 12:35 AM

I skipped Wolverine for the Blu, I opted out on Transformers 2 so I can enjoy it on Blu...Terminator Salvation will be seen for the 1st time for me on Blu and the Hangover can wait until the Blu release...but Harry will get my hard earned money and I will enjoy it on the big screen and look forward to the holiday season so I can purchase it on Blu!

newtype · 07-15-2009, 12:37 AM

Waiting for blu. I haven't seen all of them and the hype for the new one makes me want to go back and watch em all first.

tlages · 07-15-2009, 12:38 AM

I'm seeing it tomorrow with my youth group but I'm waiting for a Boxed Blu Set

ajmrowland · 07-15-2009, 01:14 AM

I'll see it this week, but I can't tomorrow. My youth group is goin' to the Dells.

Where is the "I will not watch it in theatres or on blu-ray" option??
I have not read the books and the first two movies put me off the whole series...

seriously. Ill let my little cousins waste thier money.

LeonardMcGill · 07-15-2009, 02:45 AM

There is no QUESTION that I will see this in the theatre. No matter how nice my blus are, it doesn't beat the theatre experience.

NAOQ · 07-15-2009, 02:50 AM

Will wait for this on blu and will wait for an ultimate box set of some sort when all is said and done. I do believe they are shooting the 2 parts of the Deathly Hallows at the same time. So I would think they wouldn't be far apart ala the next 2 Twilights.

wnicholas76 · 07-15-2009, 03:56 AM

I'll be seeing it in theaters and buying it on Blu. I haven't broken my streak of missing a Harry Potter movie in theatres yet, and I'm not going to start now. And like LeonardMcGill has said, you just can't beat the theater experience!!

MaCruz · 07-15-2009, 12:56 PM

My gf wants to see it once it comes out but I don't really care because the Harry Potter series is not my cup of tea. Most likely I will not buy or rent unless they have a huge sale on all their releases.

koontz1973 · 07-15-2009, 12:59 PM

It will be on Blu before Christmas so I will wait.

Wdm81 · 07-15-2009, 01:06 PM

Definetly going to see it this weekend (followed by a showing of Bruno, which i missed last weekend because of work), i missed the first 2 potter films in theatres because i didn't think i'd enjoy them, but as the third was coming out Best buy had the first 2 on DVD for sale so i bought them and loved them and since then i've seen every potter film in theatres (saw OoTP twice)

I also plan to try and watch all 5 movies on blu and then maybe see HbP again next weekend

BaronVH · 07-15-2009, 01:19 PM

Ah, one of my favorite arguments: theater v. home. A friend of mine never goes to the theater, as he has a nice home theater like myself and does not like the idiots that tend to show up. I couldn't disagree more. We argue about this regularly. While I hate the idiots too, I know the best times and places to go to minimize the morons. I also know all the police that work at security at my favorite theater. That being said, movies are not made for your home. They just aren't. I know people will disagree, but they are specifically made with the size of the screen in a theater in mind and crafted with the knowledge that a crowd of people will watch it together. Let's take Transformers 2, for instance. It is a low brow movie. Banal. But I really enjoyed it and had a great time. The incepid jokes got a rise out of the crowd who laughed at the absurity of it which was completely intended by the director. It made me enjoy it more. The theater was huge and ice cold on a very hot day. We had to make a special trip to see it with our family which let to the anticipation. I am sure that without the crowd, the big theater atmosphere, smell of popcorn, etc. that I would not have enjoyed the movie as much. I had an absolute blast as did my family which was just what Michael Bay wanted.

My point is I will ALWAYS go to the theater. I almost never blind buy anything, and it is a rare occurance where I miss a movie in the theater and when I rent it like it so much that I have to buy it (although that did happen last week with Waltz with Bashir).

Kratos3 · 07-15-2009, 01:35 PM

I will see it in IMAX(always worth it, especially for 3D) and buy it on Blu. This was my favorite of all the books, so I have to go see it.

That's a shame because the movies got a whole let better after the first two...

Anyway I went to see the movie last night at the midnight show but it shut off 15 minutes in

I'm seeing it tonight and will be buying the blu on day one of its release.

I went to my first ever midnight release last night/this morning for Harry Potter... and I didn't like it at all. The movie itself was pretty good, but there were way too many annoying middle/high school kids.

MrVorhees · 07-15-2009, 09:52 PM

Ohhh i'm not gonna skip this one, i'm definitely going to watch the new Potter at the theater, just like part 4 & 5

AND THEN, i'll buy it on Blu-ray.
