Sounds like a winner!

Sounds like a girly movie.

Well my sis-in-law saw it 2 or 3 times in the theater and won't shut up about it so...

I am going to be renting it as soon as possible, but I think I am going to be put off by the musical-style covers of songs that I love.


Didn't bother me with Mulan Rouge, in fact I liked it, but this is the Beatles and it just seems different.

3 movies that can make my wife always happy but yet to make it to HDM.


1) Monster In Law

2) Sound of Music

3) Shall We Dance

While it can be considered a chick flick, it also appeals to anyone who loves the Beatles, the 60s, musicals, and director Julie Taymor's surreal and original vision as a filmmaker.

Yep. Someone needs to call them up on it. Had all the extras been in 480p, it would have received the same rating. There's 100min+ worth of HD extras. That should count for at least 1-2 stars.

The trailer for this one looked bizarre. Like some sort of awesome acid trip. Set to nothing but songs from the Beatles.

(That makes it more like an actual acid trip, only now with BD you can see colors you never imagined). This will have to do for trippy HD colors until Disney remasters Tron. What other solid films have colors that will blow your mind?


I wanted to catch this one in theaters but seeing as it is a musical, the only way I would enjoy it would be in HD. Not only that but this has a 24bit track.


If you dont like musicals take a look at the ones that look unconventional. I hope enjoy this as much as I did Sweeney Todd.

BTW- I thought the HD extras rating was to measure the PQ and AQ of the extras at one. Otherwise it is totally mislabeled.(someone should tell them)

 

[SirDrexl]

What they should do is insert another section for extras in HD, with stars indicating how much is in HD (in this case 5 since everything is in HD), then change the name of the current section to something like "BD exclusive extras." It is really misleading how it reads now.


About this disc, I am definitely looking forward to picking it up. I guess I can see why some would say it's a "chick flick," but I don't think I've ever seen one this trippy.

I sent him an email requesting they reconsider the criteria for HD extras.

I loved the movie. It was one of my favorite movies of the year (me and the GF saw it two different times).


The music was well done and the visuals are worth it alone.

 

[MattGuyOR]

Terrific movie, saw it twice, buying it!

 

[Rolen_it_Up]

I saw this on a Sony 4K SXRD in the theater and I was blown away. It was by far the finest visual presentation I've ever witnessed.


Can't wait for this on Blu.

 

[BenjaminG]

I just downloaded the trailer - wow I think I might give this a blind buy

 

[gubarenko]

preordered.

but i thought that it will have trueHD and not pcm.

 

[JamonWithLove]

As a big Beatles fan, I was disappointed, as an avid movie-goer, it was just ok.

Is there something wrong with 24 bit pcm with an average bit rate of 6.9mbps. I have found most of the uncompressed pcm tracks from disney and sony to be of the highest quality.

 

[MattGuyOR]

I'm excited it got the 24 bit treatment. The music will sound fantastic!

Just glancing at the review I assumed it had no HD extras, so yeah, it is misleading.


PS. Anyone else give a crap about what they think about the movie? I don't think it should be part of the score in an HD disc review.


Doesn't everyone use Rotten Tomatoes to get an idea of how people think a movie is?

Not sure about 1 & 3, but I would probably line up to buy Sound of Music for my wife.


We love this movie and had the opening on this morning while getting the kids ready.

I've got a feeling that this movie might wind up being the "Fifth Element" of Blu-Ray... meaning it could be the movie that is so visually impressive, regardless of its actual content, that it makes for a great demo disc in stores to show people in just a few seconds what makes HDM so fantastic.


I think I may like the content more than the reviewer did. I've got it pre-ordered for a blind buy.
