RE: Recommendations on first Blu-Ray disc.

Posted by user510 on September 9, 2009 at 03:38:25:
I've been noticing the occasional $10 Blu-Ray movie over at Amazon.com. Usually, these are older movies that have been remastered to Blu-Ray. I'm collecting a few based on price and my primitive/crude taste in movies. High budget sci-fi with plenty of FX/cgi tends to work for me.

So far, Starship Troopers (~$14.95) had some scenes that appeared visually stunning on the Blu-Ray format. Mainly the CGI outer-space shots caught my notice and seemed noticeably better than the same shots seen on HD TV. Other shots within the movie seemed comparable to hdtv.
