Blu Ray Reviews

SERENITY(RELEASE 2005, BD 2008, DIRECTED BY JOSS WHEDON):
Movie: 5/5-Amazing script, engaging characters, lovable hero(no homo) and kickass action scenes. Lucas should see how pale his prequels of Star Wars are compared to this.
Nathan Fillion leads a great cast as a very unique and innovative character. The story is engaging, character development is great and the visuals are outstanding for a 39 million dollar production. One of the best sci fi films ever made.
Picture Quality:5/5-amazing detail and beautiful colors.
Audio Quality:5/5-perfect sound.
Extras:4/5-quite nice. outtakes are probably the best I've seen
Overall:5/5-INCREDIBLE

SHUTTER ISLAND(RELEASE 2010, BD 2010, DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE)
Movie:4.5/5-As a masterful director, there is much to expect when a Scorcese picture is released. You would think every movie of his would top the other and be brilliant. Sadly, Shutter Island is neither better than his others(especially the previous Departed)nor is it brilliant. Still, I enjoyed it for what it was, It forced me to think, that's a big plus point. Not only that, but the performances were solid. Leo is great in this one. The best part about this movie is the awesome visual direction. There is film noir in every corner of this movie. The surrealism mindf**cks you pretty bad but that's the good thing(wait till you see INCEPTION). What brings the film down is its predictability, and that takes away the thrill. Still, the ending made me happy(if you've seen Leo's fate in Scorcese's films you know what I mean). I enjoyed SHUTTER ISLAND...recommended.
Picture Quality:4.5/5 even if some bright scenes have too much lighting, the picture is amazing. Great color quality and the details are crisp. Demo worthy.
Audio Quality:5/5-perfect. I jumped sometimes due to the foghorn music. Awesome.
Extras:1/5-there are only two features and they are just so-so.
Overall:4.5/5 RECOMMENDED
