Blu-ray Reviews of Dirty Dancing (20th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Cleaner, but disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies, so of course I had to buy it on Blu-Ray. As this is one of my favorite movies, the only thing to review is the image quality itself of the new Blu-ray transfer.
In that, the image quality is disappointing. It looks cleaner than the DVD version, but not up to par with available Blu-Ray movies from the same era, such as: First Blood, or even Enter the Dragon. The entire movie is full of aliasing in it. You can see it on people's collars, on the siding of houses. It is very noticeable and distracting, while muddling up details in the scenery shots. The colors are also off. The reds are pushed really high to where it makes anyone's red clothing stand out and the grass is slightly bluer than it should be. This effect is very noticeable in the scene just before Neil comes to recommend the Pachanga, where people are hopping around like kangaroos, one lady has red shorts and they look super-imposed over the bluish-green grass. Finally, there is also an issue with black levels that I have only seen on this BD. With my TV calibrated, I notice that the darkest spots were slightly brighter than the ones that weren't supposed to be as dark. When I turn the brightness up, they get even brighter. This issue forces me to watch it at a lower brightness than I would usually watch the movie in.
I was interested in the Blu-Trivia, but it wasn't that interesting. I distracted too much from the movie and was boring information, most of which wasn't anything that you couldn't easily find out if you wanted to.
I watched this on a PS3, so I'm not sure if it is PS3 specific or not; but while watching special features, I couldn't go to the menu. I had to skip to the end of the special to reach it.
So, it's difficult for me to say no to buying this because it is a cleaner transfer and sometimes, that bad colors actually look nice. But I'd say to wait until a better release comes along.
