Default Blu-ray Disc But Not High Definition Image

hello,
i bought some bluray discs, and i was surprised when i watched the movies, cause for example 30 days of nights, it is obvious that the image is really clear but when i watched the last samurai and troy it is not that clear there is almost no difference than the dvd formats but the high contract. am i wrong? anybody got the same idea? i think they just copied the same dvd format to a bluray disc and they are selling for triple price

please share your ideas with me cause i am really confused?

You might want to list your equipment and connections used.

I have 300 and Troy that I upgraded from DVDs to BDs and have no regrets, but I'm a PQ/AQ snob.

What kind of TV do you have and how do you have your player connected to it?

That actually doesn't matter since most Movies were shot on Film before digital and film is higher resolution then BDs

1) What kind or model and size of High def tv?
2) How is the PS3 connected? HDMI cable, Component cable (3 color cables + 2 audio), or Composite (Yellow, Red, and White cables)


Some movies, especially the newer ones will likely look better. But it can also be that you are expecting too much. Movies are still going to have a "film" look, as opposed to the clearness of a documentary like Planet Earth.

You're seeing the limitations of the HD DVD bandwidth those compressions were optimized for,combined with the stylistic choices of the filmmakers

Not even worth it.. Its like people dont understand.. some movies look great some look so so. I guess that whole "REVIEW" section that discusses this just doesnt appear for people?
