Movie Reviews of The Italian Job [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Great Movie, Terrible Quality from the Self-Proclaimed Supreme HD Format
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll keep this short. The movie itself is fantastic. However, I would surmise that this Blu Ray was ported back when Sony thought that MPEG-2 was the best codec for HD video. Now that they've had to fall in line with HD DVD and use VC-1 for most of their transfers, the quality of this movie is poor at best. I've compared this version to both the DVD and the HD DVD version and both are superior to this version. The artifacts and quality in general is atrocious.
Unfortunately, this is the problem with BluRay right now. They have hundreds of great movies out there that were encoded using MPEG2 and they look terrible. They need to go back and remaster all of these movies because they are not even on par with DVD quality.
Movie Review: Bad Quality BluRay!
Summary: 1 Stars
I see I'm not alone! I just purchased this movie when it was on sale here a few weeks back. I'm sorry I didn't read any of the reviews! The grain was awful! For a moment I thought my children played with the remote and changed some settings! It's bad! The movie is a fun action movie, but to call this HD is a joke! I had to adjust the filters to the high setting to reduce the grain and snow in the dark areas, and you can see the pixel squares in the bright segments. What were they thinking?? I loaded my old dvd copy to upconvert and compare the quality, I must say, I think the dvd won! They need to rework this movie and make a special offer to the BluRay copy owners, because I think we've been ripped off!Movie Review: Italian Job - Blu-Ray, Great Movie, poor quality video
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently rented this movie from Netflix and I'm glad I didn't buy it due to the poor video quality. The picture is grainy at 1080P like others described especially at low light levels. When you spend the money upgrading to Blu-Ray, there is a certain expectation that the quality will be substantially better, and in this case it is awful. A pity since this is a great movie. Paramount, shame on you.Movie Review: Great Movie, lousy transfer.

I have this movie on regular DVD and the quality far exceeds the Blu-ray version. As another reviewer wrote, I have so much noise and a line through the center of the screen, that the movie is not watchable. These things should be recalled.Movie Review: Entertaining movie, terrible Blu-ray quality.
Summary: 1 Stars
I enjoyed this movie, but the quality of this Blu-ray release is just awful. It was so bad in some spots that it became a distraction from the movie itself. I would recommend holding off until it is remastered.
