Comments on: Blu-ray Review: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Most Disappointing Blu-ray Release of 2009 http://eclipsemagazine.com/blu-ray/13270/ Entertainment News for The Rest of Us Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:54:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michelle http://eclipsemagazine.com/blu-ray/13270/comment-page-1/#comment-7348 Michelle Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:58:02 +0000 http://eclipsemagazine.com/?p=13270#comment-7348 I thought it was a lot of fun and the tone was just about right. Yeah, I could nitpick it to death but it's not that type of movie. I thought it was a lot of fun and the tone was just about right. Yeah, I could nitpick it to death but it's not that type of movie.

That's primarily due to the pedestrian Cinematography used in the film.

I think you should give your PR rep a call. I'm sure it's just an oversight. From the comments in your review, I can only guess that Netflix sent you a DVD instead of a Blu-ray. Say what you will about the film but the quality of the high-def transfer and encode is without fault. Perhaps you need to calibrate your screen.

It's a sharp, clear, picture but the colors from the cinematography is pedestrian, plain, dark, making the overall effect not much better than an Upscaled DVD.

Seriously? Either you are a 6 year old writing this review or something's wrong. I am looking for ways to recover 1 hour 58 minutes of my life lost watching this sad thing. You liked the movie?

It's rated quite highly, capturing tons of facial detail and sharpness. The encode itself is flawless, and the bitrate is massive. Just look around at some of the aggregate sites (such as Cinemasquid) which show the various sites scoring it quite high, which is what it should be. Sounds like the writer was irritated (and rightfully so) about Paramount's review material policy -or lack thereof- and the stupidity of putting extras on the digital copy (also rightfully so), docking the video quality score in the process.
