Pirates of the Caribbean: AWE not that great on Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

BlurayFanatic · 01-26-2009, 02:37 PM

Just bought it for $15.00 Yesterday and thought the PQ was going to be a 10 and audio.(not)

I only ever watched the First scene in a store so looked forward to the whole movie being watched at home.

Was very shocked that it was not anything special

Maybe its my eyes I don't know

I also bought the first one for $15.00 and always liked that one, so I will see if anything does change.

yeah i agree.. i thought the PQw as nothing special

MillerTimeNCSU · 01-26-2009, 02:58 PM

You might want to check your TV settings. I thought this was one of the best looking Blu's out there.

Also, to the thread-starter.....probably a good idea to watch more than 1 scene before jumping to conclusions about the entire movie's PQ.

What about the image do you dislike? I'm assuming the grain. "Not that great" is pretty subjective, most of my Disney / Buena Vista releases are pretty top tier and this is among one of them.

did you think that pq looked kind of washed out? I felt the same say when i watched it. I thought something was wrong with my tv.

"most"?

Has Disney given us anything that doesn't have an awesome transfer? All I've seen and all I've read points to Disney being a proverbial golden goose of the industry.

Gangs of New York... but that's about it...

As someone mentioned before, there have been a few less then totally stellar releases (Gangs of NY, The Recruit, Coyote Ugly, Scary Movie, etc.) so they DO exist, but they have more to do with budget/age reasons. There's no reason to think that a movie as huge as the 3rd Pirates film would receive anything less then the typical Disney love. I think it looks great, on the same level as all of my favorite Disney / Buena Vista releases (The Kill Bill volumes, every Pixar release, LOST Seasons 3 & 4, etc.)

+1

Blu As Hell · 01-26-2009, 02:57 PM

Dead Man's Chest has the best PQ in the Pirates Trilogy.

Infrared Sight · 01-26-2009, 04:20 PM

I thought this movie was a great transfer. I enjoyed every minute of it in the visual department and audio as well. I thought it was excellent.

icyteddy · 01-26-2009, 04:53 PM

hmm...strange....I thought ALL the Pirates Of Carribean movies looked beautiful on my LCD. The trilogy was rank a one of the best transfer to blu ray.

you thought that because they did!

this thread is ridiculous--- people that question the PQ need to adjust their
settings or buy a decent TV

Mr.Sparkle · 01-26-2009, 07:02 PM

I saw PotC 3 on Blu ray, and I thought the PQ was very good, not the best ever, but still very good. I also have PotC 1 on BD and it has great PQ also, I have never seen the second one on BD.

Based on 37 user review ratings on blu-ray.com, the video was 4.9/5.0
Blu-ray review gave it 5.0/5.0
I'll give it a 5.0.

So what's not special about POTC III?

Clark Kent · 01-26-2009, 09:46 PM

This movie looks unqualifiedly great on Blu-ray.

ack_bak · 01-26-2009, 10:05 PM

I thought the PQ on this release was very solid. I am not sure what the OP is complaining about.

owa · 01-27-2009, 12:41 AM

I thought it looked/sounded great and it's a great trilogy to own on blu-ray.
