Fifth Element New Blu-Ray Version

[Dave999]

I just watched the new release of the Fifth Element in Blu-ray from Sony and it was fantastic. Unlike the previous release, this one lives up to the quality of the DVD. The picture was generally crystal clear and sharp. The new audio formats also were an improvement over the already excellent DVD. This is one worth purchasing.

Am i the only one who didnt like this movie?

[Chris D]

Yes, I've heard that this transfer is much better. Apparently, it's still not as good as it could be, but quite, quite good. I'm glad I waited on getting the original BD, and I'll pick this one up. As it is, I think this will be the 4th time buying this disc. (SD-DVD, Superbit, and then Ultimate Superbit or whatever that was)

While the movie's not the all-time best, I did think it was decent. There are parts of it that are quite good, a lot of them being Chris Rock and others Mila Jovovich. And of course, the Aria scene is a classic demo scene for HT bubbas.

Nope. I didn't care too much for this movie either. I just bought the Superbit version cause I like opening scene to test out my system, and it was $9.

I didn't like it the first time I saw it in the theater, but after owning the vhs, laserdisc, standard dvd and finally Superbit versions ( liked the PQ ) I have found that it sorta grew on me. Will I buy the hi-def version ? One of these days when I get off the fence.

If you did buy the first release, Sony will actually exchange it for you (Yes the original was that bad).

Yeah, I got the free one that came with my Sony BDP-S1. Sent it back a week or so ago. New one is supposed to be shipped any day now. While this isn't the best movie ever made, I've watched it a number of times, and do enjoy it.

Thanks Sony!

Got my replacement copy in the mail a couple of days ago. Props to Sony for replacing all those early copies free of charge! Can't wait to watch the remastered version this weekend. Also includes a new 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track, in addition to Uncompressed PCM. Will have to flip back and forth to compare the two...
