Who knows. All these names got tossed around, but at the end of the day, if they are watching it on a 19" monitor, they won't spot these issues. I'll wait for the disc to actually arrive, but I already set my expectations low because it's Universal.

Screenshot comparison between the HDTV broadcast and Blu-ray

Looking at these screenshots, I think the BD looks better. Sharper looking with more detail.

Bob Gale is the one who signed off on the transfers. IMHO, he made the right call.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Ugh, Universal strikes again. That's pretty ugly. Not Gladiator-ugly, but ugly nevertheless.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Blu looks good to me. The blu screen shot from the parking lot scene is pretty noticable now on blu, not like it wasnt before on dvd...

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I remember noticing it when I watched the VHS about 20 years ago! :)

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Did you miss the Edge Enhancements? Or the Waxiness? It's not as bad as some other releases, but gees, they need to stop fucking around with these movies.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I'm struggling to see the problem here... there's more sharpness but I'm not seeing any halos... and I still see grain.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I'm pleased enough with the screen caps. Are they perfect? No. But its BTTF in HD.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Seriously, I don't see anything wrong. I think they look better and will still be buying it day 1

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Definitely sharper plus looks like a tad more picture at the bottom. I'm in for 2.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

they had two similar screenings of the trilogy on the same day at two different theatres in Los Angles one at the Aero theatre, and another at the new beverly theatre. between the two theatres there were apperances with Christopher Lloyd, Elizabeth Shue , and Claudia Wells

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I'm still buying it, too. Some of you people complain about the dumbest shit.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Same here! I do not get the criticism at all. They look great!

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Looks good to me :banana:

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Looks...pretty good, but I do agree that some DNR has been applied. When I look at the comparison of that pic of Marty Gizmo spoilerized at doctorthodt's link, I really don't think it looks that bad. However, if you go to the same link and check the last comparison, which is Doc on the front of the train, DNR is clearly affecting the thread detail on his shirt.

But we'll see how I feel once I've seen them in motion.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

That's a good point. People will find the worst single frrame use that as how the whole movie looks. Yet, when you watch the movie it's not nearly as bad as one was led to believe. Reminds me of a camera forum where they have people called "pixel peepers" that will zoom in on photos to show a camera's faults. Well, I don't look at a photo that way, just like I don't view a movie one frame at a time.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

People seriously AREN'T going to buy this now? Idiots. It's not gonna get any better for a loooong time. Enjoy this set.

:lol:

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Wow...while the BD pics definitely show a little bit of the evil DNR/EE usage, it definitely is nowhere near as bad as some of the most maligned titles out there, and in direct comparison to those DVD shots, it is no contest....the DVD caps really look fuzzy and low res now...is the BD image "perfect"? No, but still a massive upgrade to my eyes, I say: bring on the 26th!

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Some of the extras a few bits with Stoltz as Marty. Hopefully the dvds will have the dialogue as well.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

So any word of US exclusives to look out for? If there aren't, and the UK Blu has no PAL stuff I may spring for the UK set. I guess it's too early for anyone to confirm that there is no PAL stuff on the UK discs, eh?

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I thought this was pretty cool.......

That is awesome man thanks for sharing. I didn't even know this was going on gotta make sure to tune in!!

Unfortunately a so so quick review.... Stoltz footage that's out there is all there is, too much DNR'd pic quality, and the packaging looks even worse than I imagined.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

The packaging really blows. Oh well.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Terrible packaging. I'm not a fan of DNR, but Universal's track record with rereleasing these makes me inclined to pick them up rather than waiting

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Looks like the same poor packaging that season 6 of The Office and season 5 of House had. I don't mind digipaks though, it's just annoying, given that all of Universal's other box sets have individual keep cases.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Wow Universal.. One of your biggest franchises and you totally blow it with the packaging. Seriously they couldn't have come up with something better?? Glad I opted for the UK version I wouldn't pay $50 for that crap.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

That packaging is beyond cheap. It's not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza box cheap, but it's still very disappointing.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

uhhh...? When did digipaks become a bane on the packaging world?

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I can't see it that clearly from my iPhone at work, so please tell me what I'm missing. It looks on my screen more like the standard digi-paks with a hub in the middle and that you lift up and not push and slide like the miserable House packaging.

Am I just seeing it wrong or is it that clear that it's the push and slide style?

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Yeah, that packaging sucks. What gives Universal? You guys are usually pretty good about that.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

That packaging is just another wet thumb up grandma's ass, as far as I'm concerned.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

that's how mine likes it.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Packaging where the discs stack on top of each other truly sucks. But at least it's just the digital copy disc this time.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I don't get why that helps. The bottom disc is the least vulnerable disc anyway. It's the top disc that is the most likely one to get damaged. I only have it with House and there is a very good trick to getting the disc out with almost no risk, but there is no way of getting the discs on top back in without risk every time because you must bend the disc and the disc is lying on the case and the other disc. I worry about it with House every time.

And I come to places like this where I learned about how to push down on the top disc and how it will basically pop loose with no chance of damage.

People who get this will break or scratch their discs. Heck, I'm thinking it may happen to be one day and, like most people here, I'm ultra careful about caring for my discs.
