Worthwhile Blu-Ray Purchase
on November 13, 2011

Please describe the audio/video quality of any Blu-Ray you review. Thanks to those who do this.
I can't believe I am the first to review this Blu-Ray (it was released on Tuesday the 8th, and this is 11/13/2011).
The video quality varied. The beginning had a lot of grain, which soon disappeared. I sit about 7 feet away from a 52" LCD, and I didn't notice any grain during most of the movie. The lowest rating I have ever given to a Blu-Ray movie was 4.0 on a 10.0 scale. The beginning was about a 6.5. Most of the movie was about 8.5. Some of the indoor shots were about 9.5. Overall, very good for a movie made in 1970.
I was happy to see that there was DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio; it just wasn't that good. They didn't put much effort into the surround sound.
The movie lasted 2 hours and 19 minutes. I believe the aspect ration is 2.40:1, but it could be 2.35:1. I was glad to see the widescreen format, instead of the 1.77:1 that is listed in the product description. The movie had credits at the end. The only person in the cast that I recognized, besides Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, and Chief Dan George, was E. Emmett Walsh, who was the "Shot Gun Guard". I wish they had the credits at the beginning, so I would have known to look for him.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I am satisfied having it on Blu-Ray.
What's great about it: Aspect Ratio, Video Quality
What's not so great: DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Video and Audio

If you are going to review a Blu-Ray movie, please describe the audio/video quality.
This is a review of the Blu-Ray movie. The video quality is excellent; as near perfect as I have seen. I didn't see any grain. It even looks great when it is paused. The audio is Dolby Digital 5.1 (not Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio), but is great anyway. Lots of surround sound and sub-woofer bass. All Blu-Rays should be of this quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Greate Video, Disappointing Audio
on December 26, 2009

The video quality is really good - HD quality. I am very disappointed in the audio. It is the same as the Platium Series regular DVD - no rear channel sound, absolutely no sub-woofer bass. Right / Left, and center channels only - 3.0, not 5.1.
What's great about it: Video
What's not so great: Audio
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Audio Still is Disappointing
May 8, 2011
Okay, I bought a new, modern audio/video receiver (with HDMI inputs), and rewired my speakers. I watched Boogie Nights on Blu-Ray again, and still stand by my statements - there is very little, to no, sound coming from the surround speakers, and no sub-woofer bass. So, it is not my system. Perhaps my movie sound track is different from yours (mine says "Dolby TrueHD" 5.1 when I play it).
