'88 Minutes' is an unpleasant and thoroughly mediocre thriller that, quite frankly, Al Pacino should have avoided at all costs. This Blu-ray ain't much better, with a poor transfer and only decent audio and supplements. '88 Minutes' isn't even worth a rental.
Dull, dim-witted, and entirely unnecessary, ‘The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior’ doesn’t offer ‘Mummy’ series fans anything to get excited about. This Blu-ray edition is just as unbearable as the film. Aside from an above average DTS HD MA track, the release continues to soil itself with an unattractive, problematic video transfer and the decision to leave all of the DVD’s supplements on the cutting room floor. If you see this release on a shelf at your local Wal-Mart or Best Buy, save your money, shield your eyes, and hurry your children past this cinematic abomination.
Er der nogen der kan huske, hvad det svenske site, som sælger- angiveligt kodefri BD afspillere, til ret fornuftige priser, hedder?
Og har nogen af jer kendere, en anbefaling til, hvilken afspiller der er værd at smide penge efter - eneste krav, ud over en fornuftig pris, er, at den skal have min. 6 analoge lydudgange.
Bad news. Amelie i BD udgaven sables ned: 2/5 i billed og 3/5 i lyd:
So, how does this Canadian release look?
Acceptable but not good is the short answer. The transfer is encoded in 1080i and not in 1080p. Hence you will immediately notice that during fast motion scenes (and as we all know Amelie has plenty of them) there is a notable amount of judder. In fact, there are scenes where the effect is equivalent to what you would notice on an improper PAL-NTSC standard-def conversion. On the other hand, greens and yellows, the Amelie’s marquee foundation for the beautiful CGI effects, are rendered quite nicely. They are certainly livelier and with better depth than what previous SDVD releases of the film reveal. Yet, they definitely lack the image smoothness and lush definition 1080p offers. Blacks are good but also lacking the convincing saturation one would expect from a strong HD transfer. Contrast on the other hand varries from average to good with daylight scenes being more impressive than nighttime footage. To sum it all up Amelie has not been treated in the manner many expected and I certainly think that a solid 1080p transfer would reveal quite a different picture.
Og der er IKKE, som der står på selve omslaget, undertekster, hvilket nok har haft indflydelse på karakteren. Alt i alt en rigtig, rigtig stor skuffelse.
