| ChichiriMuyo said: What's the point? Criteron specializes in older movies and foreign movies. Neither of which don't have the budget to compete with Hollywood, which is to say neither has anything to add in terms of HD content. I like Criterion well enough (though I hate their prices). They brought me the Seven Samurai (at twice the cost of a new DVD...), so that's worth some props. But the products they specialize in don't really add anything to Blu-ray and BR adds nothing to them. So, again, what's the point? |
That's like saying that games like Okami don't add to the value of a console. Diversity is necessary and welcome. And to say that BR would add nothing to films that Criterion spealizes in? Think about Brazil, Time Bandits, Ran, Naked Lunch, etc. Even the highest quality DVD versions lost the original level of detail, and outside of Criterion collection I'm really looking forward to Preter Greenaway's movies on BR. Also, I think BR would be especially beneficial format for old black and white movies, shades of gray really suffer from compression on DVD.
