There Will Be Blood - Reviews & Reactions Thread - Blu-ray Forum

BanjoBob · 05-28-2008, 04:28 PM

I apologize if any thread of this nature has been posted previously, but to date (May 28, 6 days before release) I have not seen ANY screener reviews of ANY kind at ANY of the reviewer sites out there. I have been scouring the net for three weeks, but nada.

About a month ago I sold/gave away a ton of SD DVDs that I've either upgraded to BR or plan to, and TWBB was one. Any info on PQ/AQ and the like? This along with Dirty Harry and Patton are highly anticipated June releases for me.

One of the big driving forces behind me wanting to upgrade TV and player/receiver is so i could get all i can out of the June 3 release of There Wil Be Blood.

I started the thread because I simply haven't seen any and was hoping to draw some out from those who had info. Don't you also find it strange there is no word yet six days before a release, hmmmmm?

This is all the more frustrating given that a lot of other early-June releases already have been reviewed.

I will update/edit the opening post should/when others post links to reviews... so no need to get 'bummed' out, they will come and this is a place you could check later.

I'm also excited especially since the SD DVD didn't have much above average PQ/AQ.

Copywriter · 05-28-2008, 11:41 PM

I'm getting it too.

The church scenes are priceless.

The dvd's video quality was bad. Worse than most recent dvd transfers.

Okay, now that Cloverfield has gotten its first screener reviews courtesy of AVS and Mr. Ralph Potts, let's now get some professional opinions on TWBB... 4 days 'til release and counting.

Snap!!! Come on Amazon!!!

I'm on the fence with getting this on Blu as I'm still watching it, but I gotta say Daniel DL and Paul D are outstanding in their roles.

Sky_Captain · 05-31-2008, 10:35 PM

How come I live in the UK and got my copy this morning from DvdsLimited, before nearly everyone in the U.S? LOL!!
