Yeah, I wasted money on this disc, that's my problem.

Picked this up for pence around Christmas to replace my wearing out DVD copy...personally I would say its a marginal improvement over the DVD version so if you dont own it already this is worth picking up...if you have the DVD though unless its almost free I wouldnt bother...Im still really miffed they dont have any extras at all...

If customers keep buying and are happy accepting half-cocked transfers the studios will continue this practice.

DNR scrubs out all the fine detail that Blu-rays are supposed to show, there are 80's transfers out there with great PQ & AQ if one studio can do it why can't the others?

This film needs a new master and new restorations until this is done they won't be getting a penny of my money. I find it hard to believe that my upscaled DVD won't look better than this.

Yea that, Beverly Hills Cop and Airplane have all come down to £9.95.

Taken long enough to drop below the tenner mark.

Still too much for what you get IMO.

Well looking (assuming it's a port) at the reviews @ https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Plane.../27694/#Review (harsh? I don't know as I don't own it yet) and http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/5721/pta.html -I'll make my own mind up as usual. Add to this the film is very grainy anyway and the DVDs are shit.

Yes, I'm a realist and I have dropped my expectations for Blu-ray. Really, at the end of the day Criterion ain't going to be releasing this and Paramount don't give a ****. There is nothing people can do expect don't buy it, complain and whinge or wait for the price to drop. I'll go with the latter.

It's all the money at £5.99 but it's taking its time getting there.
