The Demo Worthy Blu-ray Thread!

[Horhay]

Just like the title says. Post a list of your demo worth discs!

To make it easier state if video or audio and why

You can include your 3D demos as well.

I'll start!

1. Kung-Fu Panda 2

Video/Audio

Why? Looks amazing and the sound mix is excellent.

2. Terminator: Salvation

Audio only

Why? The video wasn't bad, but the audio is simply great!

I thought how to train your dragon in 2D,3D and sound mix was excellent.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol looks great, but the audio is incredible!

 

[Wreck]

Terminator Salvation , love that movie! And nice picks Ocielz!

 

[cooey]

I'd stick in these -

Avatar - Looks and sounds superb on Blu-Ray, I can only imagine what it looks like in 3D!

I, Robot - As above, looks and sounds brilliant!

Transformers 1, 2 and 3

Obviously anything animated or CGI is almost untouchable because it was "created" & not filmed. Avatar, PotC, Tron along with a slue of cartoons would be the best material for reference quality demo's but my picks will be away from the norm.

My favorite eye candy:

- The Thin Red Line / The Tree of Life - Terrance Malick films = simply stunning cinematography.

- Red Cliff (International version) - Amazingly huge.

- Curse of the Golden Flower - For pure richness of color & the sets are spectacular.

- Tell No One - Because Thrillers are my favorite genre & this is a great foreign film.

- Man on Fire - Honorable mention.



My favorite ear candy:

- Saving Private Ryan - The Omaha Beach landing at the beginning really sets the tone for realism of this whole picture.

- LotR Trilogy - Need I even say anything?

- Das Boot - Some amazing storms & depth charges. (I'd rank it above U-571 but both are good).

- Master & Commander - Storms & explosions anyone?

- House of Flying Daggers - The scene towards the beginning with the "drum dance" will show you what surround sound is all about.

The Dark Knight - The sound was just amazing (as was the picture quality). That scene where Joker blows up the hospital in the nurse outfit... OMG eargasm! And the IMAX footage... wow.

Public Enemies - Amazing sound on the gun shootout in the woods. And I love muzzle flash, lol.

Heat - Another Michael Mann movie with just amazing sound. The gun shootout on the road after the bank robbery was just amazing in terms of sound.

Resident Evil Extinction - The picture was just amazing in the desert scenes IMO

Super 8 - what Ocielz said above. Omg wow.... amazing sound.

Honestly there are so many. Pretty much any animated movie can be used as a picture quality demo. Too many IMO. I would have to sit there and stare at my blu collection to make a list, lol.

Too much bass????

I gotta buy this movie on Blu Ray

 

[ripclaw]

I'm a huge fan of concert Blu-rays, so here are 2 of my favourites:

1. Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Live at Radio City Music Hall
2. Within Temptation - The Black Symphony

For both of the above, the video is really good, but it's the sound that's amazing!

My favourite soundmix has got to be Tron Legacy. the DTS-MA 7.1 is just awesome!

Akira US BD gets a special mention with it's 192Khz Dolby True HD audio as well

Transformers : Dark of the Moon is also bloody awesome in the audio department (and the 3D department as well)
