Phenomenal looking/sounding bluray

"I'm not going to review the movie itself as it's clearly been out long enough I'm just going to give a quick review for those curious as to the bluray transfer. I picked up the disc yesterday and watched it last night. The quality of this bluray disc is stunning! The clarity is top quality and the color vibrance is amazing, without looking fake or hyped. I didn't notice any unusual artifacts like edge enhancement nor any noise reduction - I watched it on my 52" Samsung LCD but didn't get right up at the screen to examine for these things. But from where I was sitting it looked flawless. The sound is also fanstic and what I noticed the most is that the movie doesn't suffer from the irritating dramatic volume changes. Yes, during action scenes things get louder as they normally should but it wasn't so much that I had to ride the volume control, which is hugely irritating and becoming more common in today's new releases. If you still don't get what I mean I'm referring to the dialog being much lower in volume to the tremendously loud action scenes. Anyhow, this disc doesn't suffer from that, yet there is still a good amount of bass to put you into the feel of the action scenes.



I highly recommend this disc!



*EDIT - forgot to mention there are several extras listed on the back of the box and all of them are listed as being in HD as well. Being that I don't have the case in front of me though I can't list the extra's titles."

Geat movie, great disc. Tons better than the DVD.

"The picture quality was superb, as well as the audio. This has always been one of my favorite sci-fi movies, Trek or not. It is worth avoiding the DVD until you can pick up this version!"

"This is my 1st Blue Ray movie. I didn't have the DVD version to compare with, but the video color and resolution are fabulous, and the audio is great. (Of course, I could be biased as a long-time fan.)"

A very nice looking Blu-Ray from an old transfer

"This is not a state of the art Blu-Ray. It uses the same transfer as the last standard definition DVD used. That being said, the movie still looks and sounds very, very good. Before the J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" movie came out, this was the only I really enjoyed. It wasn't a movie I was desperate to have, but the price Amazon is asked it's a great way to nudge your cart into Super Saver Shipping territory."
