Day After Tomorrow best picture quality! - Blu-ray Forum

MrVorhees · 10-02-2007, 01:32 AM

WOW! Another stunning FOX release!! i knew it, since FOX is using those high bitrates AVC videotransfers and 50GB BD's , they increased their PQ a lot!!

The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray

The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray Review

Quote:

Video Quality on this release is 1080p in AVC MPEG-4 on a BD-50 Dual-Layered Disc. In a word, this transfer is absolutely stunning. There are numeous times throughout the film that the bit rate hovers around high-40mbps (The highest I saw was 49mbps). Grain is rarely ever present except during a slight sequence where it’s raining near the Capitol building. Colors, while sometimes overly pumped up (I noticed this during the airplane sequence in particular Sam’s face), were solid and sharp (take a look at the sequence at the beginning..breathtaking). The film’s print seems like it has been touched as sequences that were soft in the SD presentation looked spectacular here. In particular I loved the tornado sequence and the NY sequence (the beginning storm surge registered 48mbps for nearly 5 seconds solid)! I might be reaching here a bit, but this transfer is so impressive that I’m confident in ranking The Day After Tomorrow in the high Tier 1, if not Tier 0 range. Yes folks, the overall image is THAT impressive.

WHOOO HOOOOO!!!! This is one of my most anticipated titles!

jedisinclair · 10-02-2007, 01:35 AM

I was planning on getting this title on Blu-ray but after reading THAT, I can't wait! Sounds awesome. I saw it in theatres and I like the movie itself... should be a sweet addition to the collection!

Blu Titan · 10-02-2007, 01:38 AM

I have already ordered this one form Amazon. Fox is kicking some a**. Can't wait to see it in spendid Blu-ray.

Blu-Runner · 10-02-2007, 01:40 AM

This sounds great. And I'm hoping they'll do at least the same with Independence Day.

MrVorhees · 10-02-2007, 01:40 AM

Man i kinda feel sorry for those HD DVD zealots, they'll never see such a great Transfer with their inferior format, too bad they are full of FUD to see how superior Blu-ray is , i've seen a couple of HD DVD's and none of them impressed me like Blu-rays with high bitrates AVC transfer.

i bet HDD will give those FOX titles 3-4 / 5, not because the PQ aint good, because its not their beloved (and inferior) VC-1 codec.

Bracke Bracke Bracke.......

buckshot · 10-02-2007, 01:42 AM

kowhite · 10-02-2007, 02:02 AM

Man...I was going to skip this one since I have the DVD and don't love this movie...but if more reviews go along those lines, I might just cave.

Jim L · 10-02-2007, 02:03 AM

I never got to see this one in the theater (only on DVD) but it looks like a movie that should rattle the foundation quite a bit.

I can't wait!

The sound quality was given a 4.5!

DrinkMore · 10-02-2007, 02:16 AM

Loved this movie. Has already been shipped from Amazon and is enroute to me

PrinceLH · 10-02-2007, 02:38 AM

I'm saving my buy of this title to The Week After Tomorrow, the week Transformers is released, so as to keep the Blu Ray string of victories intact.

ussrelativity · 10-02-2007, 02:39 AM

FORTY-NINE megabits per second!?!?!

This is one of the many reasons I was right to support Blu-Ray.

Slapper · 10-02-2007, 02:50 AM

Put my order it at Amazon. This is one of those movies I just never got around to purchasing on DVD. Glad to see that it looks like Fox did a great job with it!

C6 Z06 · 10-02-2007, 02:52 AM

I was hoping that one would be a great transfer. I will pick that one up tomorrow.

Ugh. Here I am with an absolutely stunning DTheater release of this title, and here I am thinking about getting it.

Son of a b*tch.

coolmilo · 10-02-2007, 03:19 AM

I should have my copy tomorrow unless it gets lost in the mail (like Troy did). I can't wait for it and I am hoping that Fantastic 4: Rise.... is this awesome too.

Speaking of Troy, I did not think the PQ was that great and it was running from 12 MBPS to 20 MBPS. But then I popped in Underworld and was blown away.

ClaytonMG · 10-02-2007, 03:22 AM

It does look awesome. Even the Fox logo looks extremely 3D! I hope that the PS3 actually is able to decode DTS-HDMA someday, I think this movie would sound just absolutely amazing with uncompressed audio. Oh well, the core audio track ain't to bad either.

jknight553 · 10-02-2007, 03:25 AM

ok is it just me, but i have been to three different websites and Best Buy being one of them and they dont have Day After Tomorrow listed on the site. now this is one movie that i have been waiting for and i want to go first think tomorrow and pick it up. im one of those people who want something and i want it now i really didnt want to order it. is anyone else seeing this too
