Starship Troopers BD. PQ?

Quick post. Love this film and thought the SD version was fab. Anyone have the UK BD version? Just wanted to know how good the PQ is. I'm into that sort of thing.

have it and have to say its very good. The CGI looks great, especially the space scenes, but have seen better, but overall pretty good.

Re: Starship Troopers BD. PQ?

One word, excellent. One of the best I own. The picture fills the screen aswell so it looks even better! If you like the film then this is a no brainer! The PCM sound is excellent too!

It is a great film and really happy with the PQ, I never got round to buying this on DVD so very glad it came out on blu-ray.

You also have to love 1.85:1!!! I hate those black borders!!! May be I won't mind so much when I have the projector next year.

Re: Starship Troopers BD. PQ?

I noticed quite a bit of grain on dark scenes though.
Still miles better than my Superbit version.

Re: Starship Troopers BD. PQ?

Very good image for an old film, better than I expected. Better than DVD.

However, nowhere near as good as the best BD discs out, which are more recent films.
