yeap... baraka is definitely demo tier material... not so much a movie or documentary even... more like... a collection of moments... very trippy...

Ga'hoole has one of the best Picture Quality on the bluray format... get ready for some real eye candy

was watching Mary & Max the other day...

How this did not get nominated for an oscar baffles me...
absolutely brilliant animated movie that makes "Up" seem like a happy episode of the teletubbies...

The PQ of the bluray is reference also... brilliant definition

Added on March 17, 2011, 11:58 amThe Thin Red Line is the holy grail of reference blurays to demo my home setup....

Brilliant (& long)movie with the highest rated PQ of "real movie"(not CGI or animated) and a whop-ass soundtrack also...
Also has tonnes of special features, interviews and extra footage if you into that sort of thing

Testament to the superior PQ can be found here at the "PQ Tier Thread for Bluray":

when brilliant, no doubt that iron man 2 can be considered reference material... however there are too many scenes that the picture becomes soft in comparison to the rest of the film that juuust shys off perfection. grain also becomes apparent in a few scenes with less brightness...but IM2 style of imaging is very close to that of a cinematic experience in the sense that it never feels overly "digitised"(is that even a real word?) that sKyWiR3pT3lTd also pointed out in his review... guess what i'm just saying that it is inconsistent in some areas... but then again, may just be me being picky

no such quibbles with the sound tho. a brilliant mix throughout and not over the top (ala transformers 2)

a good excuse to get an oppo or a ps3

tho not physical bluray disc... i just watched Tron Legacy 2D, BDMV (40.3GB)... i can tell ya the BD gonna be Jaw Dropping!

A Phenomenal transfer!

i got the 2nd david foster: hitman returns BD...

as per usual SQ is top notch...production is slick as usual...
the PQ i would describe as inconsistent...with distant objects and the far establishing shots suffering from soft focus...the middle to close up shots are fine.

still a worthy purchase if only for the ne-yo scene

i have this on DVD... its a stomping show!!!

Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service are the ones i want...

I believe Ponyo is out on bluray?
