The Departed Video Quality - Blu-ray Forum

timmyboy1121 · 06-20-2007, 09:32 PM

Hey, can anyone tell me how The Departed on Blu-Ray compares in video quality to titles like Pirates of the Caribbean 1 + 2 and Casino Royale on Blu-Ray?

I own both pirates and the departed, and while the PQ is better on POTC1-2, it is still great on departed... definetaly a must have for any BD collection!

Absolutely AWESOME movie too. Ending blew me away.

Deperted is excellent. A 4.5 star rating no more no less. The Pirate movies are both stellar in pq and sound. Would really take something special to knock those 2 out of the best picture catagory. Departed would make an excellent purchase.

Ironically, they're thinking about doing a sequel. They're supposedly working on the script already. Gonna be hard since half the people are dead

but Scorcese is supposed to direct it if they do ever make it.

the movie departed had good PQ IMO, not as good as POTC but then again departed doesnt have bright colors etc. But still great PQ. I own both

I just rewatched Departed yesterday. Having just watched POTC 1&2 the other day, it's not quite as good as either of those, but it's pretty good. I could pick out a few flaws here and there, but it's still pretty damn good. AWESOME movie too, I think I liked it twice as much the second time around. I could watch it again already.

the Departed is a better movie than either of the Pirates movies....but the Pirates movies obviously offer better special effects...

the quality is clearly better on the Pirates movies...but I wouldn't slight the quality on the departed at all..

yep, Departed is an excellent movie and it's top tier PQ. Dare I say I found it pretty much on par with POTC (settings just aren't as dazzling)...

I read that someone else might direct, possibly Michael Mann or Alfonso Cuaron. That is, of course, assuming Scorsese chooses not to. I kind of wish they had stuck to the original plot of Infernal Affairs, but I guess it's sort of cool to make their own new trilogy out of it.

Oh and good PQ on the BD. I didn't buy it yet, but I rented it. I will be purchasing it soon enough though.

I like the PQ on The Departed too. Can't really compare "apples and oranges" - I'm referring to the CGI on the POTC movies...

Story line: Freaking awesome!! POTC doesn't hold a candle in that regard!

Ugh... doesn't matter what happens to the story line.

If we can make money on it, by gosh, let's make a sequel.
