Movie Reviews of Total Recall [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: The movie is great. The video quality is extremely bad!
Summary: 3 Stars
This isn't a review for the movie. Chances are that if you're looking at this page, it's because you want to see it in the splendor of 1080p resolution. Well, save your money. The majority of the movie looks so horrible it's almost unwatchable! There is an unusually high amount of snow and grime in every scene. It's less noticable on the brightly lit scenes, but it's still there. If you own a Sony Bravia tv, the Bravia engine makes it all the more noticable too! It's amazing to me that Lionsgate would release such a low-quality Blu-ray disc! How did this quality escape happen?
I would wager that the standard DVD version, when upscaled to 1080p, would yield a much better picture. Rent it first, or just avoid altogether.
Movie Review: Schwar-tastic Movie, CRAP Blu Ray
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok, it's my own fault for not carefully looking into this new Blu Ray thing. I bought Total Recall, one of the best Craptastic Sci-fi movies ever made hoping for some delusional reason that it would look incredible on Blu Ray. It's crap crap crap crap crap on Blu Ray and looks EXACTLY the same on DVD. Try it! Play your DVD copy and then play the Blu Ray. Hmmm, looks the same. Recent films look incredible on Blu rRay but this one looks just awful in comparison. I fell for it. Buyers beware....that's all. Some of the studios are sneaky and are mass producing a first generation of Blu Rays with their middle finger in the air daring us to buy a bare-basics Blu Ray with a transfer done by the AV guy from the local high school. Be careful folks!Movie Review: Bargain...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have read other reviews of this Blu-ray and many people are upset with the quality of the disc...so I was actually surprised that it looked as good as it did. I saw NO blocking or few artifacts so I'm not sure what going on with other peeps equipment - I am using a PS3 with a Panasonic AE-900U front projector and a 40 foot HDMI cable. The picture can look soft at times and fairly sharp at others so perhaps it's partially the source material. At any rate for 13 bones plus change it's a bargain given the high price of other Blu-ray movies. I don't own the regular DVD (I have it on laserdisc) so I don't regret buying this version.Movie Review: Total Recall
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie displays new power when viewed in Blu-ray high definition format. I have seen this movie many times and wanted to add HD to my library of older movies. As with many futuristic movies the authors assume that the lower denomination of the human equation will go into space with the scientists and explorers. Although I hope this is not the case in reality. I hope that the people who venture to Mars are a bit more refined.Movie Review: Great movie, terrible quality for Blu-ray
Summary: 3 Stars
This was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. I bought the DVD when it came out, and recently did the same with the Blu-ray version. I expected the Blu-ray version would have a better transfer, but I was wrong. It's better than the DVD, but not by far. From now on, i'll be renting Blu-rays before deciding to buy them as there haven't been any kind of quality standards set on this overpriced media.
