The Fugitive - Blu-ray Forum

If the video sucks on the Blu-ray release, why does the reviewer on this site give it a 2? Show some intestinal fortitude. Tell consumers don't waste their money and be satisfied with the SD version. This guy has never seen a Blu-ray disc that he doesn't like. We need an objective reviewer who is not afraid to call a dud a dud.

With 5 being the highest available rating, 2 out of 5 is pretty bad. Did you actually READ the review?

Warner Brothers presents The Fugitive on Blu-ray in a high-definition, MPEG-2 encoded, 1.85:1 framed transfer that's mostly abysmal... this one had me scratching my head at times, shocked and disappointed by the low quality of the presentation, and aghast at some scenes that are downright atrocious in presentation.

I have this movie and on my 50" 1080p plasma, it is so bad that I thought there was a problem with my disc.

I love The Fugitive but I thought it was a pretty bad looking disc, alot of compression issues throughout. Some scenes were ok but overall it didn't looked good at all

the picture is pretty bad on this one but still a big improvement over dvd. However I don't know if it b/c I pay attention more or b/c it in HD and easier to notice. If you watch the scene where kimble goes to see the inmate with the prostetic limb right before the st patty's day parade around 1:20 ish he has really dark brown hair. Then after he escapes in the parade the very next scene he has damn near blonde hair...I seem to be noticing things like this alot lately.
