View Full Version : First Look At Sin City on Blu-ray
tkbryant 03-21-07, 03:40 PM Pleasantly surprised to see a new coming to Blu-ray trailer after popping in my copy of Finding Neverland. The new trailer features Sin City, King Arthur, Chicago, The Guardian, and Pirates 2: Dead Mans Chest. Sin City looks fantastic. The added contrast and resolution of hi-def really makes the images pop off the screen. Those who were worried it wouldn't make a huge visual jump going from SD to hi-def can stop worrying. It is razor sharp and looks more alive than the muted SD version.
King Arthur is looking pretty good in its own right and as we all expected Pirates 2 looks amazing as well. I for one am glad to see new footage of up and coming titles on the Buena Vista discs. That original trailer was outdated about 2 months ago.
Anyone else see this yet?

It's on the Blu-ray copy of Finding Neverland that came out this week.
DavidHir 03-21-07, 04:40 PM CANNOT wait for Sin City...Disney has been doing some great transfers lately too.
Blu-Devil 03-21-07, 04:43 PM Is it this one?

Ih8dumppl 03-21-07, 04:50 PM Looks pretty good, would be more impressive if they showed it in HD but the load time might be a little long! But still looks good but probably better on a nice big HD TV
i watched an HD transfer of Sin City on the movie network, and it was razor sharp. this should make a sweet release for fans of the movie.
Assayer 03-21-07, 05:43 PM Sin City = Yum!
Doug Schiller 03-21-07, 07:48 PM Sin City is one of the best looking SD DVDs around, they would have to include everything that the 2 disc Special Edition had to get me to rebuy.
Knowing Blu-Ray history, they will just release the movie only.
No thanks.
I saw Sin City in 1080p about a year and half ago at Cedia running on a prototype 3 Chip 1080p TI DLP projector at TI's booth. The screen was probably around 180 inch or 200 and it looked absolutely breathtaking. In fact it had the greatest depth I'd ever seen outside of an IMAX transfer.
I wish we could download that trailer on our PS3s
tauheel05 03-21-07, 10:15 PM I'm glad that preview is on the disc and not just on the internet. With more exposure of the preview on Buena Vista's behalf, I feel a release date coming very soon for 'Sin City.'

sure, just like chronicles or narnia that they've been showing for months...

are they showing "chronicles of narnia?" I have yet to see video evidence of this title unlike 'Sin City.'

I have not seen any footage of trailers for Narnia on any of their BD discs that I can recall. It's all for movies that have been announced formally or got quick release dates soon thereafter. This trailer should start being on all their new upcoming April discs as well. I'm all over G.I. Jane and King Arthur.

Sin City and DLP just do not go together. This movie is what you use to demonstrate Rainbow effect on DLPs.

Most people do not see rainbows, however.

He's right though. The extremely high contrast black and white scenes in Sin City are a DLP torture test. It is the only DVD that I have seen rainbows on in the last year.

I saw that. I agree until I saw it on the SIM HT 5000 three chip on an 11' wide screen in HD. It literally defied description for me it was so incredible !

Three chip has no rainbows, fortunately, since I'm sensitive to them.

Dave Mack 03-22-07, 12:41 PM My rainbow experience has gotten better but certain material will indeed just bring them on.

There is no rainbow effect with three chip DLPs. No filter wheel etc. Get the facts straight.

who's that about to be poked by wolverine's claw there in the middle?
still, i didn't mean to be harsh on disney. they are easily my favorite bd company. once you've seen the narnia demo though, it's REALLY hard to wait patiently for it to release...
SED <--- Rules 03-22-07, 10:12 PM Wow I can't wait for Sin City and the PotC movies!! Oh....my wallet....sorry dude :rolleyes:

No thanks.
you would be wrong in that assumption. disney is in it to win it. can you honestly say that about them after looking at the feature packed single and double discs either released or announced?

How many people own a 3 chip DLP though....?
