A Review of Robocop on Blu-ray DVD

Holy crap in a can, this disc looks horrible! I've written a couple of previous Blu-ray reviews where I'd called certain discs the worst High Definition image I'd ever seen, thinking HD couldn't possibly get any worse, but here Sony just keeps lowering the bar for the format. The Robocop Blu-ray is U-G-L-Y. And before you write in to chastise me that, "The movie is 20 years old. What'd you expect?" or "It was a low-budget movie. It can't look much better", save your breath. Those are bullshit excuses and dead wrong. The problems with this disc all stem from the video transfer and the Blu-ray authoring. Robocop is not supposed to look like this. No movie is supposed to look like this.

From DVD Talk:

A review on Aeon Flux HD DVD:

Æon Flux boasts the most jaw-droppingly impressive video I've seen from any HD source to date. I haven't viewed anything that even approaches being in this same league -- its diverse, cranked-up palette looks amazing, black levels remain robust throughout, and the image is impossibly sharp and detailed, looking spectacular even standing an inch or two away from the screen. No compression hiccups or even the slightest imperfection in the source could be spotted.

-------------------------------
All I can say is that if I waited (and almost did) for Blu-ray and the pressings looked as they do, I'd have returned it. I don't care what anyone says about "How it can be". It is what it is right now and people are shelling out $999. and $20 plus bucks a DVD for crap!

I have over 30 HD DVD's and 70% of them make my jaw drop from the quality.
Not one. I repeat, not one Blu-ray DVD review I've read says that.

Nuff' said.
