Really bad Blu-rays - Blu-ray Forum

elmuth · 05-23-2008, 04:47 AM

Hi everyone. This is my very first post on this forum. I finally got a PS3 after hearing that the HD format was dead. I've seen about 10 movies on the Blu-Ray format and have to admit, I'm amazed AND disappointed. A few that I've seen include Dark Water. It was an amazing movie but I was miffed by how few extras were on it. Worse, Flight of the phoenix. It stank and the DVD had NO extras. We should get a list up on this post about Blu-Ray movies that aren't worth paying more than $** for because of any of the following:
*really bad picture transfer
*just the movie (NOTHING else on the disc, no trailers, no behind-the-scenes looks, etc.)
*no subtitles (Blu-Ray has so much more space that it's cheap and lazy to not put subtitles. I have really poor hearing and simply can't understand people with accents such as Britons or Australians. Lack of subtitles is a factor in my buying a movie. Why buy the movie if I can't understand what they're saying?)
*they screwed up (I've got one or two regular DVDs that I SWEAR were just copied off a VHS tape. Something tells me that not all the studios will be concerned about picture quality, thinking the Blu-Ray will "fix" the problems for them!)
*anything else you were disappointed in
I'd like to hear from you. Thanks.

You might want to PM Caligula here if you have any questions regarding sub titles. He is completely deff.

The extras are just now beginning to take off a bit. Give it time. Most of us at the moment put having the best PQ and SQ ahead of extras given the choice.
