Top 5 Blu Ray Picks of 2008
After finally taking the plunge and buying a Playstation 3 over the summer, I was excited to experience the Blu Ray format I had been hearing so much about. In fact, since purchasing the console, I have made it a point to try and watch at least one new Blu Ray disc a week. While there are a ton of Blu Ray discs that are well worth purchasing, I’ve managed to narrow it down to the 5 Blu Ray films from 2008 that I feel give the most bang for your buck, literally. Keep in mind that I am not evaluating these movies in terms of special features included and things like that, strictly on picture and sound quality and overall cinematic experience. Here they are in no particular order:
1) Iron Man.
This is probably pretty obvious to anyone who has seen this film. There are tons of explosions and bullets flying everywhere. Oh, and not to mention Iron Man, who looks amazing on Blu Ray. Everything from small scratches and nicks in his armor come alive on the screen. You almost feel like he’s about to fly into your living room. The effects are so well done it is easy to forget that many of them are CGI.
