Movie Review: Short Review of The Audio and Visual Aspects of 300
Summary: 5 Stars
This review will not speak to Director Zach Snyder's excellent handling of the superb (Frank Miller graphic novel) source material, nor will it speak to the tremendous job done by the cast of highly skilled, excellent actors.
Rather, my intended purpose is to briefly describe the movie experience after having watched/ heard it on blu-ray and in uncompressed 5.1 PCM surround sound. One word: brilliant.
Video: I have no idea what many reviewers here refer to when they say the blu-ray version is, visually, no better than, or on par with the DVD version. This is simply not the case.
The blu-ray version, visually speaking, outshines the DVD version by far; the level of depth, color, contrast,and overall tonal quality is spectacular. Every environment in the film, while intensely stylized and computer-generated, is not *obviously* computer-generated. In fact, nearly every scene looks like a perfect melding of a fantastic painting and reality, but visually leaning moreso towards reality.
Audio: As cliche as it sounds (so to speak), this soundtrack has to be heard (on the proper equipment) to be believed. The score is sweeping and majestic, the dialogue is pinpoint tight in it's aural focus and delivery, and the battle scenes deliver a brutally visceral audio impact so intense it made this reviewer shriek and gleefully erupt like a little Spartan girl (which is incredible, given that the reviewer is actually a little boy, and not a Spartan).
Do yoursef a favor and pick up this movie right away, but play it only AFTER you've acquired and had properly set-up: a 1080P HDTV, an amplifier capable of decoding and/or playing back the movie's 5.1 uncompressed soundtrack, and a decent 5.1 (or better) speaker setup.
Now, sit back with some popcorn (or some gyros), and ENJOY!
Movie Review: 300 Blu-Ray
Summary: 5 Stars
Most ppl seem to only review the films when it comes HD/Blu-ray but you can find those anywhere, its what it looks/sounds like in HD that is important.
300 looks amazing on Blu-ray everything is gorgeous, the cinematography really comes alive in HD. The bristles of the spartan helemts, the sun gleaming off their shields. Watch the scene where the greeks are captured in the storm and you'll swear you are there on the cliff with Leonidas. All i can say is vivid.
I don't yet have an amp capable of True HD sound but i've read elsewhere that the LPCM mix is actually better on this version. Listening to LCPM it is incredible. Listen to this loud and you will be awestruck. The musical score sets everything up, sweeping across the room setting the tone. Turn that bass up for when the Persians march towards the spartans your room will shake, you will hear every taunt from the spartans towards the persians and the grind of the sand as they halt the persians at pass. The mix is excellent, you will hear everything from individual voices, to arrows, swords clashing to men screaming. This movie is loud.
Forgive the poor qaulity in trying to describe what this film looks/sounds like in HD. Pick this up, not only is 300 a great movie but it deserves to be seen and watched in HD. You deserve to watch it too.
Movie Review: Blu-ray All The Way....
Summary: 5 Stars
THe only thing that I really have to say here is to ask the question....How many movies companies are backing Blu-Ray format discs? How many are backing HD-Dvd? From the last count, only 1, yes 1, movie studio is making HD-Dvd/reg Dvd discs of their movies, while every other movie studio is making their available in regular Dvd and Blu-Ray only. HBO was also backing HD-Dvd, but even now they have jumped on the Blu-Ray band wagon over the less quality HD-Dvd. THat right there should tell you who the clear cut winner is going to be in the next few years until someone develops something even better to try and take their places like it seems to happen ever decade or so. I am not personally saying that Blu-Ray is better than HD-Dvd, since I have never seen a movie in HD-Dvd, but I do tend to trust the thinking of major movie companies and as far as I can tell, they are pretty much telling everyone that Blu-Ray is the way to go since Blu-Ray is what they are all backing over Hd-Dvd. Take what you want out of this information, but if you want to be able to have the largest home movie selection in the future go for Blu-Ray since you know you can;t have a very large good home movie selection in HD-Dvd if you can only get and watch movies from only one movie studio and only have access to the movies that they make and no one else.Movie Review: One of the greatest action movies of the decade!
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to IMAX theater to watch this film: even it wasn't IMAX experience, i enjoyed it a lot since it's a "titanic" production an it needed "gianourmous" screen.
Then, the only way i could re-live the experience (Well, sort of...) was Blu ray and a big enough 1080p LCD along with one god home theather setup (Like mine XD): it was worthy to watch again.
Epic movie needs epic media (And good HD stuff)
Haven't got your copy? what are you waiting for! A must buy Blu ray
Esta película fuí a verla a una pantalla IMAX y aunque no fuera experienca imax, era necesario contar con una pantalla enorme para disfrutar esta producción épica. Lo disfruté muchísimo.
La única manera de volver a vivir la experiencia (bueno, lo mas parecido) fué a través de blu ray y una pantalla LCD 1080p lo suficientemente grande que estuviera acompañada de un buen teatro en casa (Como el mío XD): Valió la pena volverla a ver.
Las películas épicas necesitan de formatos épicos así de como buenas cosas HD
¿Aún no compras tu blu ray de 300? ¡Que esperas! es un blu ray que no debe faltar en tu colección.
Movie Review: An Amazing Visual Treat
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a lot better than I had heard when it was first playing in the theaters. National film critics weren't kind to it, but the public liked it. That's usually a good sign and it was in this case. The movie is not only entertaining, it's one of the all-time great visual treats.
On Blu-Ray, it looks even more magnificent. It is just stunning to look at from start-to-finish, on a regular DVD, too. That's what held my attention. Sure, I could tell the obvious computer-generated effects, but so what? This movie simply was fun to ogle, with all it's incredible scenery, outrageous monster-like characters and dramatic colors.
As for the story, I head read "it's just moronic mayhem, nothing but blood and guts and way overdone action."
Not really.
I've seen a number of films with a lot more action than in here. When they did have it, unlike a lot of other films, the carnage didn't go on and on. It lasted a few minutes at most and broke for a lull. The only aspect I thought was sub-par was some of the dialog.
Whatever, this movie is worth seeing.
