Escape From New York UK release. Great film but the BD was awful, PQ no better than an upscaled DVD.

The Illusionist (CA release alliance)
Big Fish (USA)

I heard the French one is the best, and I watched it (tho dont own it) it was awesome. Even came with a nice slip.

Theres been many that are dissappointing transfers. Sometimes I wish the studios cared more about the quality of what they are releasing rather than making a quick buck!

 

[Jason Bourne]

Resident Evil 1. I honestly think it looks like an upscaled dvd.... it could be my eyes though.

 

[Nimoy]

Sleepy Hollow. Urghhh.

filmed with MiniDV cameras FYI so it's not's gonna look like a multi million pound production

only the last scene was filmed in 35mm

Transformers 3 is pretty bad cause the first release has no bonus features whatsoever. Picture Quality and Sound Quality is great but i didn't know that the first release of the movie was just the movie without any bonus content.

[Bk2DaFuture]

When Predator first came out i got it straight away expecting the quality to be awesome. I was so very wrong! Thats defiantly the worst transfer i can remember seeing and i was gutted. I couldn't believe how bad it was so yeah so that mine!

i thought the new Best Buy Filmmaker's Signature edition was a pretty good improvment over the original BD

but then as you can tell, i'm quite a big fan of this movie

for me it was Star Wars ANH. watched the first ten minutes and turned it off and sold it (freebie from Panasonic with my 3D BD plyer)

I must have had my expectation to high. When I saw Wall Street it seemed like an ok HDTV broadcast but nothing like a Blu-ray. I havent seen the newer BB Filmaker's edition, I know I loved the cover art! I wonder if the newer BB versions of Wall Street is a newer transfer as well?
