Children of Men Blu ray is gorgeous and although the soundtrack is not lossless it sounds fantastic to me. It normally get's marked down for having zero extras.

Even at the risk of being rude, but in essence you're asking
"Which film did you like and the others did not?"
aren't you?
And if so, what are you trying to accomplish by that, Rusty?

What sense does a question make like
"why did you enjoy your cheeseburger while the others did not?"

You can apply the same argument to almost any thread on here the odds of having absolute conscensus of opinion on anything are very small indeed. Did you expect everyone's post to be the same

Altough I didn't really care for the movie, but you've got to figure in the fact that it was made in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey. And then not just for an mpeg2 transfer but for any BD, Kingdom of Heaven looks great.

LIFE OF BRIAN

I know I read one review that said that the skin tones were a bit red (which I didn't mind since it is set in the desert), but I personally found the movie to have a great transfer for a film released in 79, shot in Tunisia (or Morrocco, I cant remember. It was the same location Zefferelli used for JESUS OF NAZARETH) and financed by George Harrison for a few million pounds. There were only two scenes that had considerable grain.

I'm more of a fan of older movies being released on Blu-Ray, since the transfers are more mind-blowing. The cinematography is far more impressive when you realize that the movie you're watching that looks like it was shot yesterday was in fact shot decades ago.

So all the frozen grain in the skies didn't bother you?

I really disliked the processing on this disc - I would much rather have had the grain than the unnatural image I saw.

Kingdom of Heaven is a great one to list. So many people dismiss it b/c of mpeg-2 but I think it still holds up very well, even against some of the newer releases.

It makes perfect sense. We don't all see things the same way. One person may think that a transfer is beautiful, while another may think it looks awful. Reviews can certainly vary also. I don't see that he is trying to accomplish anything....just asking.

Not sure why so many on these boards feel it's necessary to "put down" others, for simply asking a question. Is it really that big a deal?
