View Full Version : Is the Knocked Up HDDVD worth it over the SD DVD
Ricky Bobby 09-22-07, 01:00 AM I have read online that the Knocked Up Pic quality and sound are not that good . I also heard that sound is basically just front speakers 2.0. I think I maight save myself 10 dollars and get the SD DVD 2 Disc Unrated Edition and just upconverted with my HD Player. I can save that on the other Fall HD titles like Transformers, Talk 2 Me, Shrek, Bourne Ultimateium, Oceans 13, Old School, there are a lot of good HD titles that I can spend my money on this fall.
laserguns 09-22-07, 03:17 AM I personally am going to get the HD DVD. There's a pretty positive review for it up an High def digest. And I'm almost 99% sure that it has all the special features of the regular dvd. Regular DVDs have started to kind of make my eyes hurt lol. But its up to you! You sound pretty certain of what you want to do though.
What about the movie itself? It doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in, HD or not. Anyone have an opinion on whether it's worth watching?
lockheede 09-22-07, 03:29 AM If you enjoyed 40 Year Old Virgin, you will most definitely like this. Saw it twice in the theaters and it was just as funny the second time.
meatball_84 09-22-07, 03:36 AM Does any one actualy buy SD DVDs any more, I almost cant even watch them anymore.
Knocked up is awsome. Def buy for me.
throwback559 09-22-07, 03:38 AM is the hd dvd gonna have some of the unrated stuff ?
laserguns 09-22-07, 03:39 AM Yeah it was a really funny movie. Stands up to multiple viewings in my opinion. When I saw it in the theater there would be some lines that I couldn't even here because the audience would be laughing so hard from a previous line.
laserguns 09-22-07, 03:40 AM And yes I'm pretty sure the hd dvd is the Unrated cut as well.
i think the movie was offensive. somehow it pissed me off in all the wrong ways. maybe it has got to do that i know what kind of drama is involved when it really happens. lucky for me it never happened to me, but i know some people close to me,who had the experience in real life.
first of all a loser guy like that will never get a chance to bone a hot chick like that.
the mother of the daughter is total garbage in her reactions. her girlfriend is a total douche bag to leave her alone in the disco when she is totally drunk. which friend does actually do that?
then there is the stuff about baby books. which guy actually read that garbage? no wonder all man are becoming like *******.
and that is my main problem about the movie. the movie portraits real stuff that you watch it and it is supposed to be comedy. the problem however is it reflect a lot of relationships in real life.
Woman are really expecting you read baby books and that kind of stuff. did spartans read babybooks to comfort their wives lol. didn't think so.
that is also why i had a huge fight with my girlfriend after watching that movie. she was like all when we getting a baby and blabla and i told her honestly if you ever think i will be like that kind of guy when your pregnant you got it all wrong. babybooks and all that kind of garbage ain't for me. on the northpole woman are having babys with -20 degrees. do you think they want their man to read babybooks lol.
anyway that was just my humble opinion about this movie :)
DJ Matt 09-22-07, 05:40 AM This movie was hilarious. You have to have an open mind to enjoy the movie. As far as getting the HD DVD version, I am not sure considering it has yet to be released. However, some people on this forum sometimes seem to tend to stay away from buying comedy HD DVD's and save their money for action films on HD DVD. Some people don't care too much from HD DVD vs. DVD for comedy movies.
Favelle 09-22-07, 06:24 AM The movie rocked. All stuff from the director and most of the actors (Freaks and geeks alumni) is GOOD stuff. I must watch. Whether or not its a must buy for $27....... hard to say.
Bob Black 09-22-07, 07:09 AM What about the movie itself? It doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in, HD or not. Anyone have an opinion on whether it's worth watching?
This movie got excellent reviews from just about everyone - critics and movie-goers. It has a whopping 91% rating on rottentomatoes and was actually one of the best-reviewed films of the summer (along with Bourne).
As for HD, how can anyone even consider buying SD DVD's anymore? They are obsolete and a waste of money, IMO. I don't like watching SD on my satellite dish either.

I think you are forgetting the main point that it is just a movie. I dont think anybody should be seeing Knocked Up and expecting it to be accurate in telling us how to go about our relationships and parenting.
Just seems you are being a bit harsh on a comedy that did its job in providing laughs throughout. Feels like you were expecting a chick type flick rather than a comedy with some heart.

Watching SD on your Dish is one thing. However, upconverted DVD's on a Toshiba player (e.g. my A20) probably look better than HD-lite from your satellite provider.
Let me know when you watch Last King of Scotland on high def media of any kind.
CPR Jose Ortiz 09-22-07, 09:08 AM This is one of the best movies of the year.
Not only am I gonna buy the HD DVD of it...But Im going to give some out as gifts as well.

I know what you mean.After I saw The Matrix,I took 3 red pills,got diarhea real bad,and tried to flush myself down the toilet.Only then did I realise it was just a movie and I cant really learn Kung fu,or sleep with the lady in red just by plugging myself into a computer...
Hd DVD is always better than SD dvds... By alot! ;)
SomethingMore 09-22-07, 10:27 AM first of all a loser guy like that will never get a chance to bone a hot chick like that.
you'd be surprised. I know WAY too many 'loser guys' who 'bone hot chicks' all the time.
the mother of the daughter is total garbage in her reactions. her girlfriend is a total douche bag to leave her alone in the disco when she is totally drunk. which friend does actually do that?
you'd be surprised... a lot of girls ditch their friends at bars.
then there is the stuff about baby books. which guy actually read that garbage? no wonder all man are becoming like *******.

yeah, 'cause that movie was 100% accurate...

you can blame your girlfriend, then. My girlfriend didn't say that crap to ME after we watched it. maybe you need to break up.
anyway that was just my humble opinion about this movie :)
to each his own. :)
If you enjoyed 40 Year Old Virgin, you will most definitely like this.
What if, like me, you didn't like 40 YOV but think you might enjoy Knocked Up because you like Heigl? I was going to blind buy this but then decided I'll rent it sometime instead.
5thDanMaster 09-22-07, 11:11 AM And yes I'm pretty sure the hd dvd is the Unrated cut as well.
Yes it does. :D
I just stopped buying SD versions of movies that I know will show up in HD DVD, makes it simpler.;)

+1
Ergoguy34 09-22-07, 11:29 AM Blind buy here but I did enjoy the 40 YOV....

So you are saying one movie is fake by comparing what you saw in another movie that was based on a graphic novel. Well you are living your life as a Spartan how is the yearly culling of the slaves going? I also imagine you train daily for war and are very physically fit. Oh and is your girlfriend a "Spartan" cause you do know Spartans can only marry/have sex with other Spartans cause everyone else was below them.
HomerJay 09-22-07, 11:34 AM Does any one actualy buy SD DVDs any more, I almost cant even watch them anymore.
Knocked up is awsome. Def buy for me.I haven't bought any SD DVDs in over a year. Ever since I've had HD DVD, I am no longer interested in adding to that side of my collection. Need more money for HD DVDs...;)

Like myself. Good movie, but after the last few comedies I have bought on HD, I think I'll save some money and the get SD version. Wal-mart tends to have new releases around $15 the first week. That'd be about half the HD price.
OggideM 09-22-07, 11:44 AM wow.
indeed.
art vandalay 09-22-07, 11:46 AM Ive got an a2, and i have no problem watching an SD movie. Whether goodfellas is in SD or HD, its a damn good movie and looks good enough to be enjoyed in SD for me.

You sound like a total catch! I'll be sure to let my single female friends know all about you. You know, after your girlfriend dumps your ass. :)
Oh, and great movie! I love it when you actually CARE about characters. His roomies were hilarious and pretty familiar too. lol
CPR Jose Ortiz 09-22-07, 02:00 PM [/B]
Do you have my address?
I meant for family.
We are adoping!
I went to this movie with my girlfriend and we laughed from start to finish.
After watching movies like Spiderman 3 and other disapointing sequels, I was so impressed the with the quality of this movie.
Jay Mammoth 09-22-07, 03:54 PM Oh yeah. We have to support great movies like this when they come to HD-DVD.
Of course this one looks great, its a solid title and very much a great improvement over the dvd. This one was a no brainer for me. Of course you do get the regular dvd with it. And like Mammoth said it's important to support this great releases.
TheThunder 09-22-07, 04:37 PM Is it worth it on HD DVD? I dunno, you tell me:

dad?!
TheCuze 09-22-07, 08:08 PM It's been confirmed, this hd-dvd lacks all of the extras from the second disc of the Unrated DVD release. Thats a lot of stuff, and its probably insanely funny, seeing as how great the 40-year Old Virgin dvd was so great. It does add 1080p picture, slightly better sound, and PiP, but it carries a notably higher price tag and lacks some good stuff.
I think I'm just gonna go DVD on this one. It's only a comedy and it'll still look acceptible upconverted.
If you enjoyed 40 Year Old Virgin, you will most definitely like this.What if, like me, you didn't like 40 YOV...What if I am a 40 Year Old Virgin?!? :confused::eek::D
charles0424 09-23-07, 12:57 AM Definite buy on HD, there's no way I can go back to SD DVD's anymore especially with a great/big release like this. As far as audio I think people are just knocking down there scores because it has no TrueHD or considered lossless audio. Which I feel has no meaning because when I viewed this in the theater this was a FRONT HEAVY movie throughout, thats just they way the movie sounds.
natecorn 09-23-07, 01:27 AM I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that no one has brought up the absolute delight that the birthing scene is sure to offer those of us that purchase it in HD. Trying not to spoil anything, but I think SD may be the way to go solely based on that moment. You know which one.
PRO-630HD 09-23-07, 02:07 AM What about the movie itself? It doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in, HD or not. Anyone have an opinion on whether it's worth watching?
I don't know it only rated like 92% fresh at rottentomatoes.com
PRO-630HD 09-23-07, 02:08 AM Is it worth it on HD DVD? I dunno, you tell me:
http://nicolasramospintado.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/1katherine-heigl-anatomia-de-grey.jpg
OMG, that woman is gorgeous.
blazed54 11-19-07, 08:52 PM I don't know it only rated like 92% fresh at rottentomatoes.com
I for one consider rottentomatoes to be fairly accurate with my tastes at least. If user review is 70% or higher I have almost always enjoyed the movie. The critic review means nothing to me because all the movies they like are boring as hell and horrible to watch.
CowboysGuy1874 11-19-07, 10:47 PM If you are going for the movie and don't mind the extras too much, then the HD DVD version is a no brainer.
If you want the extra features (as I do on any Apatow production), then go with the 2-Disc SD DVD version. The extras on this disc are worth the price alone.
