AVguide's Holiday Gift Guide 2007
Movies (in Blu-ray or HD DVD)
Blu-ray
|
With the first chase seen alone worth the purchase, Casino Royale is still one of the greatest Blu-ray titles released to date. It is even better with some excellent speakers. |
 |
|
With beautiful picture quality amidst a futuristic setting, The Fifth Element on Blu-ray contains action and music that are both out of this world. |
 |
|
No doubt about it, this is the disc in which Blu-ray's visual superiority stomps its HD DVD equivalent. Indeed, it is the most flawless of the Blu-ray transfers, visually that is. |
 |
|
This beautifully transfered disc is stunning example of the power of the Blu-ray discs. Like it or not, I think you'll have to agree this is a small jewel of a movie. |
 |
|
I may be wrong about this, but I think this Michael Bay film was the first mastered to show the potential of the Blu-ray technology. This is definitely worth looking into. |
 |
HD DVD
|
The HD DVD version of Batman Begins has been extolled as an example of how good HD DVD could be. It is scrumptious to behold. |
 |
|
If you really want to have a bit of fun, this dual-sided disc will supply it. With stunningly clarity and excellent audio options, this title remains a very acclaimed HD DVD release. |
 |
|
The images simply dazzle, alone showing why this may be (so far) the best of the Universal/MCA titles. The picture is so clean that you find yourself more involved than you were in the theater. |
 |
|
In King Kong on HD DVD, we have nearly an hour’s worth of smashing digital effects and a rip-roaring, scary soundtrack in which the rear channels are used imaginatively. |
 |
|
This latest restoration of The Searchers illuminates the glories of high-definition home video. And it looks just simply spectacular. |
