Best of 2010 - Members' choice - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

piglesia · 12-14-2010, 02:53 PM

OK, so I agree that it wasn't the best movie of the year, nor EVER, like some people might think.

But hands down, the best looking and sounding Blu-ray I've ever seen.

You're voting for the best overall release, not the best PQ/AQ.

Inception is an exceptional quality Blu-Ray. If it wins, I don't think it will be on popularity alone.

HeartPalmeiras · 12-14-2010, 03:03 PM

Ok, how come only 5 for Metropolis? No doubt the most important film in that list and best job done overall for preserving it. still wondering why no Seven Samurai. almost changed my vote last second to BBS story which is an amazing collection and the best multi-movie set in that list.

Apocalypse now may be included in my list and certainly Evil Dead (i was so surprised at the quality on that one). then obviously Toy Story 3 is also great, but I can't see why some of the choices on this list are there in the first place. What do I know...Just my opinion

starbinger · 12-14-2010, 03:09 PM

Kick Ass

Wings80 · 12-14-2010, 03:12 PM

Where is The Exorcist ?

spargs · 12-14-2010, 03:15 PM

Apocalypse Now gets my pick, over several other worthy contenders - the inclusion of the Hearts of Darkness documentary put it over the top.

Kick-Ass is far from being the best blu of 2010, but Avatar is the best blu of 2010! U tell me a movie that looks better on blu for one thing? For two the movie is groundbreaking and ahead of its time. U can laugh all u want but what did u choose?

Edit: I see u chose SPR which I never seen so I wont comment but I guarantee it doesnt look nowhere as good as Avatar but Im sure it sounds better probably. As for the movie Im sure I will like Avatar better but that aint the point. Dont act like your opinion is a fact because its far from it! Got Em!!

I chose Saving Private Ryan for all the right reasons. Again, this poll is about the best OVERALL BD, not the best PQ/AQ.

Wow, way to openly criticize public opinion HD! I never considered you one to do that...

I was definitely torn on this one though - and no, Avatar was never a consideration for me, and neither was Kick-Ass for that matter, but there were some gems this year.

I ended up voting for Saving Private Ryan because I figured I should vote for my favorite film of all time, + it's the transfer of the year IMO.

Alien Anthology came in very close, by a thread.

Kick Ass...really? Among the comic fan community, yes I agree.

But Avatar was a really big deal this year, highest grossing movie, groundbreaking visual effects, 2 cuts released the same year, among other things. I'm not saying it's the best movie of 2010, but I understand why people would choose it.

Gaius Marius · 12-14-2010, 03:28 PM

Alien Anthology by far. The first two movies are sc i-fi classics and some of my favorite movies. The restoration on Alien alone makes this the top pick for me.

It's not a matter of criticizing. I simply cannot understand how any mind-wielding adult could vote for Kick-Ass over a fair number of the other choices.

I think there a fewer "mind-wielding adults" in this forum than you might be willing to believe HD...

I didn't even notice that at first but that's pretty hilarious.

My vote went to Saving Private Ryan. Not only amaving PQ and AQ but an overall great movie. One of my most prized blu rays in my collection.

The site manager is willing to give us the option to vote on the matter; thank you Deciazulado. So agree or disagree, I wouldn't jest too much about what other people chose.

Thats exactly how I made my choice. To me Avatar is the best overall bluray I own! The movie was great in my opinion and the visuals are second to none. Its ok to disagree but to try to bash on other opinions is not the thing to do especially not here anyway lol. Got Em!!
