got matrix trilogy boxset in BD and they are awesome - the difference in picture quality (when compared to regular DVDs, all of which I also own) is amazing, especially the close-up scenes of the people - i could really count their eyebrow...

so i bought some more BDs but they are not so impressive. like right now, i'm watching Tomb raider in BD and while it's running at full HD (1920*1024 at24HZ), their picture quality seems to be only marginally better when compared to regular DVDs...

anyone noticed the same? does it have something to do with how the original movies were filmed? maybe recent ones and the ones being filmed have the eventual BD release in mind?

btw, the TV is full-hd capable samsung 46" with all the bells and whisles and the player is PS3.
