Baraka give you the most beauty of earth where you never feel and seen before & some meaningful element, your life is something missing without watching it.

Picture Quality
Unbelievable how stunning the picture quality is where you hardly believe it was shooting on year 1992. It is by far the only beyond top notch quality you ever seen in any recent film transfer. The beauty and clarity deserved it 8k transfer.

The output is like you seen in real life where it surpass for the most aclaim outstanding movie - Avatar which basically mostly did in CGI, Baraka is not CGI, Baraka is real!

They is no single issue of DNR, EE or whatever technology apply, no sign of edge issue, judder, color banding, over sharpen or whatever you name it, it is not there. The only there is pure perfection transfer ever did.

Audio Quality
Even though this film without any narration, the perfect music score by Michael Stearns and featuring music by Dead Can Dance, L. Subramaniam, Ciro Hurtado, Inkuyo, Brother and David Hykes is outstanding than whatever you believe! Without them, this film is nothing.

Conclusion
The only film that beyond the edge. Top notch transfer in both PQ & AQ.

A must own for any blu-ray lover and a must seen film in your entire life at least once!

5 star for everything Baraka deserved! 10 out of 10 without any doubt! Brilliantly bravo!

Can't wait for it sequal "Samsara" which schedule to be release in unknown time on this year 2011.

Bought my 41st (or is it 42nd) title at Speedy yesterday; Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Blu-ray RM99.

Simple review -
I am absolutely stunned by the PQ. If you want to buy just one disc as demo disc - this is the one you should buy! The AQ is as good with loseless DTS MA - for those of you who have a 5.1 or a 7.1 - just listen to the battle between the Guardians and Pure Ones towards the end-of the movie. The sound of those scenes is already worth the money you pay for the disc.

All in all - this BD should be classified as a MUST-HAVE title. This movie or BD represents the absolute best audio and video quality that 1080p Blu-ray has to offer.

Thinking of the above, we should start a tread to voice our opinion on MUST-HAVE titles. What do you think?
