cloverfield is one of the first blu ray titles to take advantage of a higher bitrate than hd dvd could do. its at 35 mbps, not the full potential of blu ray but far better than hd dvd could have done
No it's not. Nature's Journey shipped months ago with bitrates that peak in the high 30s. Equating bitrate to overall quality is a fool's paradise. I could toss all the bitrate I want at a crappy master it's not going to make a difference at all. Garbage in Gargage out. I'm not saying Cloverfield is garbage but rather bitrate will tell you nothing about a title without knowing the quality of the master.
I think we can take it that the Cloverfield master is going to be absolutely flawless. But whether films like Cloverfield & Transformers deserve all the lavish attention is another matter.
