What are some Blu-rays that you were unhappy with? Picture-wise, Extras-wise, etc.

Silent Hill didn't come with the extras on the standard DVD, which means I can't get rid of it. Really pissed about that.

My personal winner as well. Awesome movie, Deadly SQ, but the PQ was rediculous. Oh what it could have been....

Is it that disappointing? Looks good to me, but it was the first Blu-Ray I bought, and I only have a 32" 720p TV.

Oceans 13 wasnt that bad...The grain was on purpose...Overall the movie was as good as the first 2

Tekkonkinkreet.

The animation is so poor (in my opinion) that BD accentuates its flaws and makes it look worse.

Gone in 60 seconds: Big fan of the movie - but between the BD and the upscaled DVD through the ps3 - there really wasnt much difference

I'd have to disagree. Not the best in terms of PQ by Touchstone, but I'd say that the DVD even upscaled is not even close in terms of PQ with the blu-ray version.

Not only Oceans 13, but dont forget Oceans 12.

The abosolute worst had to be 28 Days Later.

Exotic Salt Water Aquarium.
It had the potential to be reference material but if falls short big time.
The PQ is OK at best.
Looks subpar from even a distance.

yeah 28 days came to mind too, but remmeber we're judging the TRANSFER and it was 1000X better than DVD. check out the review on here, gave it 4.5/5 for PQ. it was shot with a hand-held canon camcorder.

Giyomu · 01-24-2008, 10:26 AM

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

coolmilo · 01-24-2008, 02:21 PM

Two movies that I was disappointed in PQ-wise: Crash and Italian Job.

As for Audio, I am disappointed in any movie that does not include lossless audio (too many to list).
