AVOID THIS BLU-RAY~
First, the movie, the story, the characters are all wonderful, they get 5 stars. This Blu-ray, it gets a 1 star (I wish I could give it less). A common issue with early blu-ray discs are lack of qualtiy. The color, graininess and "WIDESCREEN" on this Blu-ray are all a joke. Talking to the people who did the work on this Blu-ray; if you're going to transfer garbage then all you're going to get is 1080p, hi-def garbage! Whoever did the work on this Blu-ray release does not know what they are doing and most likely did not care. The skin tones go from just OK to bright pink and even orange (we're talking skin tones that would make an Oompa-loompa jealous). The transfer is also dark, lacking all the great details that the movie is known for, leaving those of us who watch this film with a less than full (forget about "BEYOUND HIGH DEFINITION") experience. The graininess on every version of this film is bad and this Blu-Ray is no exception, it is very distracting. Then, finally, the "WIDESCREEN" part of my review, the back of the Blu-ray tells us that it is 16x9 or 1.85.1 - DUH! The thing is Blu-ray, of course it is widescreen! Not to mention that they stretched the whole thing, the people look like they've all been on a mid-evil torture device.My advice is to stick with the "Ultimate" version of the movie on DVD and watch it though your Blu-ray player's up-converter feature. You will end up with a much more enjoyable experience
