What Blus should I get? - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 04-25-2009, 01:15 AM

Hey,

I'm between:

BAND of BROTHERS (used for a good price)
THE KINGDOM (seen once, don't really remember it, but love Jason Bateman and action films)
PITCH BLACK (haven't seen in forever)
APOCALYPTO (good film)

I haven't seen any of these on Blu...which three should I get in terms of PQ/AQ and I guess film itself?

Eagle_23 · 04-25-2009, 01:24 AM

Band of Brothers & Apocalypto (PQ is the best I've seen) are must haves imo. So definitely get them.

PatrickL2009 · 04-25-2009, 01:24 AM

I would say Band of Brothers definitely, but I don't really care too much for the rest. You should get Sin City though, if you don't already own it.

These two.

Haha I just ordered Sin City actually so that will be here soon.

But can you guys pick one more? I can get three with the money I have. Thanks.

Band of Brothers...you will get many hours of enjoyment. Fantastic PQ and AQ. If you want a movie, then Apocalypto.

jcarugati · 04-25-2009, 02:05 AM

Besides Band of Brothers and Apocalypto, which has the better PQ quality and is a better film with more replay value: The Kingdom or Pitch Black? Thanks.

PH3AR · 04-25-2009, 02:09 AM

Band of Brothers is probally the best blu out there!

+100000000 !!!!

My 2 cents !!

Diesel · 04-25-2009, 02:19 AM

the only one i've seen is pitch black
so i recommend that as one of your choices simply because it is a fantastic film

of course, i'm a little biased possibly

jcarugati · 04-25-2009, 02:35 AM

how much money are you looking to spend?
because you can pick up all three of those for around 95bucks on amazon and get the free shipping

PB is 19.99
Apocalypto is 19.49
and BoB is about 54

jcarugati · 04-25-2009, 03:00 AM

How do you get free shipping? Because right now, I'm looking at getting the films used on Amazon and my total comes to about 60 bucks.

if you spend more than $25 on items that qualify for the Free Super Saving shipping
which those do

its a little slower i believe (i've never actually used it) but its free and would mean your only paying around 30dollars more for brand new copies of all three instead of used

jcarugati · 04-25-2009, 03:04 AM

Have you ever bought used from Amazon? I have once and I was really pleased with what I got.

i always buy new everywhere i go
i've always been really picky about my movies and like to be the original owner
and the price difference isn't usually that big when I buy

but some people do get near perfect condition movies used for cheap all the time
