5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal! (Amazon's Technical Spec's Incorrect - As of 1-24-09), January 24, 2009

This review is from: Coming to America & Trading Places [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This is a fantastic deal on these two Bluray discs. You'll save a bundle (currently about $15 as of 1-24-09) compared to buying them individually.

I'm not going to review the movies themselves; however, I will tell you that as of today (1-24-09), Amazon's technical details for this two-pack are incorrect. The aspect ratio is incorrectly listed as 1.33:1. Those of us geeky enough to care about aspect ratios know that Blu-ray does not release 1.33:1 (or "pan-and-scan") movies, unless this was their original release format. Luckily both of these movies are presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio. This is truly a double-pack of each individual Blu-ray movie.

If you're interested in the extras or the visual aspects of the Blu-ray editions, go ahead and check out the individual reviews for each disc. I just wanted to clarify what this double-pack is...as Amazon's poor description led me to purchase it only when I found it at a local brick & mortar (to double check it).

This review is from: Coming to America & Trading Places [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I was really surprised by the superb video quality of these 2 movies on bluray. Clarity and colors get a huge boost compared to the old DVDs. Granted it will never equal the glossy transfers of newer films on bluray but taking into account these films were from the 80s, these are the best they will ever get to look for quite some time to come. And the nude scene of Jamie Lee Curtis in her prime in total HD glory---worth every cent I paid.;)

This review is from: Coming to America / Trading Places (Two-Pack) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Please describe the audio and video quality of any Blu-Ray you review. Thanks to those who do this.

Both movies have a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, and last just under 2 hours. I watched "Coming to America" first, and thought the video quality was very good to great - about 8.8 - 9.0 on a 10.0 scale. I watched "Trading Places" immedidately following, and thought the video quality was slightly better - about 9.0 - 9.2 (even though there was distortion in a close up scene looking up at the World Trade Center twin towers).

Both movies are very entertaining. This was a very worthwhile Blu-Ray purchase.
