Anybody get Big Fish yet? - Blu-ray Forum

Sony did a very nice job with Big Fish. Though, I was also surprised they didn't include more extras than a commentary. The newest DVD wasn't a Special Edition though. It was the original DVD that only came with a small handful of extras, but repackaged with a collectible book.

So...the PQ rating would then be...?

Since the lack of extras - was this a BD 25 then? Also which codec was used?

I can't give you a rating on this movie, but I can give you the answer to your other questions.

This is a 25GB BD using MPEG-2 and uncompressed PCM.

^^ Thanks, it's ordered and apparantly preparing for shipping.
I just saw the SD version during Christmas...but I can't wait for some HD glory!

The video is MPEG2 at roughly 25mbs I'd guess. The disc is a BD50 though, not a BD25, which is further indication that dual-layered discs will be the norm in the future, as I'm sure Sony could have put a lot more on this disc, which makes the absence of extras all the more perplexing.

Yes, that sounds strange indeed.
When you mention the lack of extras, I was pretty sure that suggested a BD25.

It must be an effect from all the champagne paidgeek and co-workers has been drinking, celebrating the success of Casino Royale!
