This release from the sitcom Big Bang Theory includes all 17 episodes of the show's first season, following the daily misadventures of a group of socially awkward and terminally endearing scientists.
The Blu-ray version of The Big Bang is a banging improvement in resolution over that of the DVD. The picture reveals an increased level of detail that makes it hard to watch the DVD version. The first episode surprisingly shows a lot of video noise however. The vivid colors and great contrast make it a joy to watch. Keep an eye out for sale pricing!
This movie provides a gripping look at the events of Captain Sully's emergency landing in the Hudson. Recreations of the landing event from the pilots' and the controller's point of view and it's investigation afterwards provide details beyond the Hero Headlines. Very informative special features with interviews with Captain Sullenberger and the movie makers. The only additional special feature I would have wished for would have been the inclusion of the actual landing video and rescue footage. The Blu-ray video is superb with highly detailed resolution and dynamic sound quality. Highly recommended.
I have enjoyed the DVD of The Incredibles since 2005. The Blu-ray of The Incredibles is worth the upgrade cost if you want the sharpest picture, and upgraded sound. Quite honesty, if both versions are viewed from a distance of three screen diagonals or more, the picture quality is very similar. But, for a big screen experience, the Blu-ray is the best option. Yes, the Disney cost is steep as usual. Highly recommended.
There is so much more described in the book that cannot be compressed into a 2-hour movie. However, watch the included Special Features before viewing the movie. They are exceptionally complete and provide much insight and detailed background to the events shown in the movie, and the lives of the real persons portrayed. A tough movie to watch, but a true tribute to the generation that fought and died for our country. The cinematography, picture and sound quality, are also top-notch. Highly recommended!
A captivating story based upon actual events. It satisfied my need to NOT climb Mount Everest. A movie that is enjoyable over repeated viewings. The video and sound are first rate, and the 3D version adds much to the realism. Highly recommended!
If you are a fan of this movie, and own the DVD version released in 1999, this Blu-ray version will provide significant improvement to the picture quality. The DVD version is letterboxed which reduces the image to fill only 60 percent of the screen height. The DVD picture also shows distracting picture noise. The Blu-ray version removes the noise, and provides a more detailed picture, along with filling the screen horizontally. The screen ratio is slightly wider also, which shows more picture information on the sides of the screen not visible on the DVD. Unfortunately, this is a buy-it-again double dip worth owning.
Relive the Disney Classic that you remember seeing as a young child, but now looking better than ever. The clarity of the restored film makes this Blu-ray presentation superior to any previous editions.
Hotel Transylvania is fun movie that will entertain young and old. If you remember the classic movie monsters from the 30's, 40's, and 50's, you will enjoy seeing them again, but all in a very comical way. The 3D version is mostly good looking with just a few very minor ghosting issues in the beginning. The 3D effects do add a pleasant depth to the viewing experience. Unlike Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, I did not nod off even once during the screaming, ha, ha!
In addition to a presentation of the family classic The Wizard of Oz, this release includes the documentary The Making of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a look at not only the creation of the movie itself, but how it has remained an American classic for decades.
Everyone has seen this classic movie in 2D. The 3D conversion is very well done. The viewing experience is very natural and enjoyable. Highly recommended for those lucky enough to own a 3D capable display!
