Ok this thread is about films you watched but you felt they sucked due to the picture quality not being worthy of having a HD label.
For me recently it was on HD-DVD Bourne Identity,Bourne Supremacy,Bourne Ultimatum and mulholland drive.
I enjoyed all films but the image quality for me was crap to the point at which i may just have watched the bog standard SD dvds.
I have the Bourne trilogy and the quality was way way way better than in DVD...
You have a full-HD TV?
I found the Bourne trilogy to have absolutely impeccable image quality at 720p over component. Strange.
I buy alot of BD movies and one that I regret getting is 10,000 BC, just a bad movie all around. Altho the IQ is very good the movie is not wirth watching
An American Werewolf in London is the poorest I own, Worse than The Game imo and that's saying something.
The worst I've seen is Gangs of New York, DNR and edge enhancement galore, the actors look like cardboard cutouts.
Well he did say HD-DVD. You guys have Blu-ray. I'm sure that's the key difference. The HD-DVD version is a poor job or something not set right.
Bizarre, I've been watching The Bourne Ultimatum tonight on Sky HD (1080i) and it's great quality.
Yeah i haven't seen the HDDVDs, but i presume the SkyHD version has a similar look. I think it looks quite good. The film intentially has a very grainy and muted look, so maybe that's what the OP doesn't like about it. All reviews i've read about the HDDVD says that it's a very good representation of the cinematic release from a technical point of view.Originally Posted by Spuddy
It's probably a similar case to 300. It looks absolutely stunning on Blu-ray, and totally represents the way the film is meant to look, but a lot of people complained about the heavy grain used in the film. I'm all for artisitc intent in these cases.
I don't like the Bourne movies so they didn't matter much in HD or DVD. Anyway, olders movies remade into HD isn't worth it but if the movie is good it's preferable in my opinion. [yes]
Why not?
