Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 4.0
Movie great! Blu Ray not so much
This is a great movie. However, as I commonly say, I can fully enjoy a movie without having to watch it in its entirety. The second half of this movie, i.e., when the monsters really come out, can get a little less than fully entertaining. That notwithstanding, the characters are interesting and engaging, and the concept is fun in an adventurish kind of way. Even better, one of the characters wears an Arcteryx jacket - by far the best adventure gear on the planet (forget Northface or Spyder - overpriced garbage)! HOWEVER, while the movie is great, the Blu-Ray transfer is not so. I owned the original (SD) version, then bought HD because I'm a Blu-Ray junkie, only to be highly disappointed. Lots of noise in the video transfer, far too much in fact for a movie only recently created. I don't advise someone buying to replace their SD version unless they're lost to the Blu-Ray OCD gods like I am.
