Huge, BDs can assign more bits to the video and audio (for example 40 Mb/s top video, 48 Mb/s to audio + video) therefore the image and the audio can have more information and be truer (have higher fidelity) to the source.

A video encoded at 30 Mb/s carries double the information than a video of 15 Mb/s. 35 mm film is a very high resolution medium (image clarity is defined by frequency (detail-resolution) x amplitude (contrast-sharpness) / noise (graininess-compression artifacts). The more information from it you record and transmit, the better it looks, and the closer to its original quality it is.
