Buena Vista's December Blu-ray releases: Pearl Harbor and Invincible

Disney's home distribution arm, Buena Vista has successfully launched two waves of Blu-ray titles already, and is dropping a couple more before year end. Pearl Harbor and Invincible are the lucky movies, the latter day-and-date with the DVD version. No word on any special features or "Blu-scape" extras, but they carry an MSRP of $34.98. No Pirates of the Caribbean or Cars just yet, seems like we'll have to wait until 2007, meanwhile we'll "enjoy" box office-failure Pearl Harbor.[Thanks, Dave]

It would have been cool if they released Pearl Harbor alongside Team America: World Police.
"I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark, When he made Pearl Harbor. / I miss you more than that movie missed the point, And that's an awful lot, girl. / And now, now you've gone away, And all I'm trying to say, is: Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you. / I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school, He was terrible in that film. / I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part, He's way better than Ben Affleck. / And now, all I can think about is your smile, and that shitty movie, too! Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you. / Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies? / I guess Pearl Harbor sucked, just a little bit more than I miss you."

I loved Pearl Harbor. If I had a blue ray, I would totally buy that disc. It wansn't a perfect movie, but it was pretty damn good.
The DVD is great. I would love to watch that in high def.

Um Pearl Harbor grossed 450 million worldwide. This is a failure?

That just makes it succesful, not a good movie. Although it is in my opinion.

450 million worldwide isn't something to be proud of for a movie that cost 132 million especially with the expections because of the subject matter. that is why some consider it a failure. now if it only cost 20 million to make and promote, that would be a different story.

Pearl Harbor's about right.

The Spiderman font at the bottom is just goofy.

How is it "Beyond High Definition" when it's only listing HD Picture and HD Sound?

this is the same company that says hd-dvd is required for the xbox 360.
jon mcgowan @ Oct 22nd 2006 3:51PM
oh yea? i didnt know BUENA VISTA is the one who makes PS3 and claimed HD-DVD was required... wow.
Jason @ Oct 23rd 2006 2:56PM
I liked Pearl Harbor a ton. And just pre-ordered the HD-DVD Xbox 360 add on - damn.
I wish the studios would just support both formats.

Why would i want to buy this movie? I own it on DVD already since 2002. What? the only diffrence would be a 40% increase on sharpness. I saw the player Demo at an EXPO. It not a real big deal. Besides the best part of Pearl Harbor was the last Hr of Disc One. I also had a big conversation with the techs there. Buy HD-DVD, more industries are leaning towards it. Buy PS3 for your games and Blue-Ray flicks.
