I watched AVP2 Requiem last night on Blu-ray..
I had seen it previously on DVD but it's a very dark transfer..and I hoped the Blu-ray version would be better..
It was..and you can see all the gory detail much better..:R

The DTS-HD Master Audio sound track was just awesome, and really added to the drama..:hsd: :T

This is a very dark Blu-ray indeed, and one that makes me realise that I need a new display, unfortunately. :sad:
From all the reviews I read about this Blu, you need a properly calibrated display with very good black levels. So many people don't have that, and they just see a big mess on their screens, when the Alien and the Predator are into their big fight. This is probably the best example on Blu-ray, where you realise that your display is simply not up to the task.

That's very true..and I was very pleased that I was able to see more shadow detail with the Blu-ray version..

For example, look at the exterior scenes in daytime, near the beginning, with high level of orange and black, simply way too much contrast. Personally, I found this too distracting and annoying.
But like I said, I probably need a better display.

Yes..I was hoping that those scenes would look more natural than the DVD version..but unfortunately they weren't..just sharper..which only exagerated their poor colour quality.:thumbsdown:
