Bought the blu-ray review..if you have the dvd then dont bother


Hey im in the uk and love this film

have it on blu-ray the US version and i bought the UK version when it came out over here

so when i heard blu-ray was being released i was excited, i ordered if while ago although i read a review of the blu-ray on amazon saying the quality is just like their dvd version


well they were right

so im pretty dissapointed, As you guys can tell from the front cover its a really bad photoshop using someone elses bodies for the 3 girls and their heads have just been stuck on lol looks horrid

as far as picture quality if anyone has the dvd and plays it on their ps3 that upscales dvds or a seperate player that upscales then you dont need the blu-ray

they must of used the same print they used to make the dvds or done a really cheap thing and made the blu-ray from a dvd and upscaled it because it has exactly the same bitty artifacts that pop up on my dvd

they have not attempted to clean it and make the picture look any better AT all

if anything it looks a bit worse than the dvd as the bits stand out more and so does the grain!!

the sound is slightly better and i mean slightly, there are no extras only a trailer for the film

i fail to see why they add trailers for the film your actually watching :S also the trailer for some reason has parts blocked out of it the part where the title of the film comes up goes to a black screen almost as if they were not allowed to show it :S yet its the film your going to watch

they could of done alot to make the picture better, look at the goonies blu-ray thats great, then again this was not hit of a film so maybe thats why


case: 1 out of 10
video quality: 4/5 out of 10
souund: 6 out of 10
movie: 8/9 out of 10 ( i love it haha)

OMG I came on here to see if anyone else noticed the AWFUL DVD cover! What the hell is that?? It's SO obvious that it's cut outs of their faces pasted on someone elses bodies... SO BAD! How disappointing! Why wouldn't they just use the original cover instead of that mess? It was a good movie with great well known actors... they could do a little better than that!

Oh wow. I actually own the DVD with that cover, and never noticed how badly photoshopped it looked! Helen Hunt looks mostly normal, but SJP and Shannen Doherty look like their heads are just floating there. Really awful!
