Come on Paramount go Blu please Cloverfield would look awesome in my Bluray collection, by the way seen the movie thursday midnight and the movie was just awesome. The best time I had at the movies since transformers, if you have not seen it do yourself a favor and go.

i agree, the movie was great. but i just cant see this having a great picture. you want shaky camera in hi def? although i wouldnt mind seeing some PiP behind the scenes.

this movie was mixed for me... the story was good and it was for sure really well done... but that whole blair witch filming style... although really cool... was totally whack

I haven't seen it yet, but is the entire movie from the hand-held cam point-of-view? I guess I should get tix for the backrow....

Suprisingly there's about 5 minutes of real NOISY video. It have been filmed with custom made handheld High Definition Digital Panavision Camera. So since it's not Film there's no grain, but there's noise ...

Handheld video should be even more complicated to encode to HD DVD because it more so randomly that this one will be a HORROR to encode and keep the macroblock to the minimal. It's 1.77:1 too

The biggest + is the audio. One of the best audio experience i ever had in theater in years...

So that film definitly need to help of Loseless audio and higher bitrate that BluRay can provide

psx3man · 01-20-2008, 01:57 PM

but was it filmed with a cam corder or made to look like that?

sAvAgE69 · 01-20-2008, 01:59 PM

I am hoping Paramount goes blu soon. Cloverfield was an amazing movie. And yes this would look great in my collection.

When I started reading your thread I thought to myself, I may go see this film today...then I got to the transformers part. To each his own!

Paramount and Uni would be stupid not to jump ship very soon. Even if they havent switched by the time Cloverfield hits shelves you can be sure that this would be one of Paramounts first titles on blu when they switch back. Right along side Transformers.

crystal_sun · 01-20-2008, 03:36 PM

the film was grainy...it will look good in regular DVD as well....so no biggie. I can live without Blair Witch Part 2 in my collection.

bambam1901 · 01-20-2008, 03:37 PM

There's a trailer on PSN. The PQ isn't that bad. I'll buy this one on day 1. Let's go, Paramount. And give me Braveheart & Gladiator while you're at it!

LOL they can even make Transformers on DVD without heavy Macroblocking.... imagine this TITLE! This title is all about SOUND.. I'll repeat it, if you're theater is good and calibrated. This is one of the best surround mix i ever heard in a Theater ever...

I mean, lets hope of a VHS version while were at it. It Not because a studio doesn't do BluRay right now that's it WOHO BAD F(((* Para*****! They have a bunch of release in 2008 that i'am really looking foward..
