Reference quality video. Razor sharp. Perfect colour balance. No artefacts.
This is a disc to use to impress your friends. (eg Fifth Element) |
Dialogue always clear. Music always clear and never drowns out dialogue.
Enveloping sound field with good use of surrounds to draw you into the
movie. Special effects that have both a WOW factor and enhance the on-screen
image. |
Commentary track(s), Making of documentary, Production notes and stills,
Bios, Alternate Endings, in short, a stack of extras which are well-put
together and enhance the enjoyment and understanding of the movie. |
Riveting plot, a timeless classic that will warrant watching again
and again. |
|
Great quality video with only occasional minor problems. |
Only minor problems with the audio, such as occasional hard to hear
dialogue. |
Multiple extras which are not as comprehensive or well-put together
as a 5-star disc. |
Excellent plot, but not quite a classic. Will bear watching a few times. |
|
Good quality video with a few noticeable problems if you look closely.
Still quite acceptable. |
A few audible difficulties. |
Limited extras, but still good value, and worth considering. |
Plot which is OK but you would tire of with multiple viewings. |
 |
Video quality that is sub-par, but acceptable if you are a fan of the
movie. Significant artefacts. |
Significant audible problems. |
A few extras beyond just the trailer. Not enough to consider the disc
for purchase just for the extra |
Plot that irritates you with its obvious plot holes, but which you
can put up with because it's on DVD. |
|
Unacceptable video quality under any circumstances. Don't bother with
this disc. |
Unacceptable audio quality. Major audio problems. Avoid this disc. |
Theatrical trailer |
Plot that is more irritating than nails on a blackboard. It makes you
want to perpetrate violence on the DVD that is carrying this dreck. |
