Which movie do you think is the best quality for blu-ray..I say Planet Earth or casino royale

The best looking old movie, and i mean BEST lookin OLD MOVIE is The Warriors. Its a 1979 release but man it looks like it could have been shot today.

NOTHING comes close to crank
NOTHING.... even animation does not look as good as crank.

Casino Royal is only half the quality of Crank visualy.

Lets just say it seems that Lionsgate went the extra mile to make it even more crisp than animation, and made the movie sparkle.

The whole movie throughout was surreal.

Its like watching tmnt the battle between leonardo and raphael (rain scene) for a full 1.5 hours.

If your saying just the visual, then I say that Pearl Harbor looked great. I am not saying anything on the acting though.......................

smd5158 · 10-18-2007, 04:18 AM

Bridge to Terabithia. Crank was exceptionally good also.

Porfie · 10-18-2007, 04:22 AM

I have to agree CRANK

It truly looks amazing and the details shine more than any other blu-ray I have seen!

Casino Royale was good, but I have seen better for sure. PoTC 1&2 look awesome and of course Crank. Those are movies shot with HD cameras, so they look amazing, with none of the film grain. Many of the animated BRs look awesome like Open Season, The Wild etc..

I bought that one today for $12.50 and was very surprised when I put it in. When you see the PQ on this one, it just shows how poor some of the transfers are on some of the newer movies on BD. I guess it will be my last Paramount BD that I buy for a long time.

POTC 1 & 2 and Crank. Some of the new Fox transfers are great also.

RobertB · 10-18-2007, 05:10 AM

Mmph! And "Crank" is region A coded right? Still don't see it on any region B lists yet. Looks like it's gonna be an early christmas gift for myself this year in the form of a region A PS3 to supplement my region B PS3.

Marcusarilius · 10-18-2007, 05:11 AM

Underworld movies, The Road Warrior for it's age and budget and The fifth Element.

Pearl Harbor was only Ok. the PQ was very grainy in several of the zero raid shots and some of the wide angle pan shots.

Crank was great I personally also liked the TDAT

easyrider · 10-18-2007, 05:20 AM

Agree about The Warriors.
Another oldie that looks sensational to my eyes is Dog Day Afternoon

kamiller42 · 10-18-2007, 07:10 AM

Can I put Nature's Journey in the mix? Not really a movie, but does have outstanding video.

DR-SA10 · 10-18-2007, 08:22 AM

No ones mentioned Apocalypto! POTC 1 & 2 are demo material as well. Got my Spidey trilogy but ain't had time to watch that yet.
