Just got my Trading Places Blu-ray! - Blu-ray Forum

BluPayne4400 · 01-25-2008, 02:47 PM

I want to grab it while i can but want some input as to how is the PQ and AQ on this movie? Worth a buy?

HeavyHitter · 01-25-2008, 02:54 PM

I'm looking to buy it too, but at a decent price. From what I've heard and read, it looks quite good for an 80's catalog title.

glenn22 · 01-25-2008, 02:56 PM

The review on this site gives it a 4 for PQ.

I'd like to pick this one up too, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I can wait until Paramount makes it's return though.

Beta Man · 01-25-2008, 02:58 PM

Man..... if only they put this movie on T.V. occassionally!!! seriously though.... Yeah, I'd buy it, just because I like the movie.

JayAuritt · 01-25-2008, 03:21 PM

I have it, and it looks great, especially for an older movie....it certainly won't ever look better.

JAGUAR1977 · 01-25-2008, 03:26 PM

Well worth it.

A few UK stores have this very cheap, under $20.

BluPayne4400 · 01-25-2008, 03:27 PM

do you have the link?

BPHusker · 01-25-2008, 03:31 PM

I found it at a local store for $30 along with Coming to America. Maybe I should get it.

Amel · 01-25-2008, 03:40 PM

npanzeca · 01-25-2008, 03:49 PM

I second that!

AaronSCH · 01-25-2008, 03:52 PM

It was like watching the film again for the first time. Very glad I picked it up when it was readily available.

johnmhemp · 01-25-2008, 04:07 PM

I used to rent things from Netflix to decide if I wanted to buy them or not first. To me the PQ on Trading Places has more of an immediate "WOW" factor than a lot of others that I have purchased. I love the movie anyway but it just looks so darn good in Blu. My local Best Buy had most of the Paramount titles still in stock so I grabbed the ones that I wanted but hadn't bought yet when Paramount jumped ship.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered Trading Places and Coming to America. I wanted those but have never seen them locally.

Digital Filmmaker · 01-25-2008, 10:10 PM

I would and did buy it. Excellent HD transfer.

pscoop · 01-25-2008, 10:36 PM

Why do I feel like people would get this just for Jamie Lee Curtis' boobs in HD?

LOL

Anyway, the movie does look great on Blu-ray Disc. I watched it on a 1080p projector on a 100" screen. Very impressive for a comedy movie from the 80s.

Rustmonsteru · 01-25-2008, 10:46 PM

I can parrot what everyone else is saying; it looks good for when it was made.
The audio, however, is only Dolby Digital 5.1.
