 Phenomenal looking/sounding bluray September 23, 2009

I'm not going to review the movie itself as it's clearly been out long enough I'm just going to give a quick review for those curious as to the bluray transfer. I picked up the disc yesterday and watched it last night. The quality of this bluray disc is stunning! The clarity is top quality and the color vibrance is amazing, without looking fake or hyped. I didn't notice any unusual artifacts like edge enhancement nor any noise reduction - I watched it on my 52" Samsung LCD but didn't get right up at the screen to examine for these things. But from where I was sitting it looked flawless. The sound is also fanstic and what I noticed the most is that the movie doesn't suffer from the irritating dramatic volume changes. Yes, during action scenes things get louder as they normally should but it wasn't so much that I had to ride the volume control, which is hugely irritating and becoming more common in today's new releases. If you still don't get what I mean I'm referring to the dialog being much lower in volume to the tremendously loud action scenes. Anyhow, this disc doesn't suffer from that, yet there is still a good amount of bass to put you into the feel of the action scenes.
I highly recommend this disc!
*EDIT - forgot to mention there are several extras listed on the back of the box and all of them are listed as being in HD as well. Being that I don't have the case in front of me though I can't list the extra's titles.

The picture quality was superb, as well as the audio. This has always been one of my favorite sci-fi movies, Trek or not. It is worth avoiding the DVD until you can pick up this version!

This is my 1st Blue Ray movie. I didn't have the DVD version to compare with, but the video color and resolution are fabulous, and the audio is great. (Of course, I could be biased as a long-time fan.)

A lot of upconverted DVD's look about the same as the Blu-Ray version, but not this one. I was amazed at the improved resolution.
Outstanding Blu Ray transfer! November 30, 2009

This is such a fantastic movie, and everything a Science Fiction movie should be!
The plot is very interesting. It brings back the Borg, the baddies of the universe. Through a series of events, the Borg time travel ( Yes I know, in Star Trek, they travel through time like we change socks) to the past and plan to make the population of Earth all Borg. Well, Captain Picard and crew just can't let that happen. They travel back the same way the Borg did and stop them. It seems that the Borg want to stop "First Contact" (that's when we met aliens for the first time) and we'll never make friends in the universe and it's easy pickings for the Brog to turn all of us into them. That's pretty much all I want to say on what happens, I don't want to give to much of it away. Just trust me, it's fantastic!
This movie has it all. It's chuck full of suspense, jaw dropping stunts, and some really interesting plot twists and some old fashion action.
I really liked the story line of Picard's obsession. It was linked to Moby Dick and Captain Ahab. This just adds to much to the story line. If you didn't know there were two epys of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Picard was taken by the Borg, and was made into one of them.
Now for the blu ray aspect. Its' phonominial!!! It has fantastic sounds. The sound is so crisp and clear, again, it adds a lot to the movie. The visuals are out of this world. Everything is crystal clear and the images are incredibly sharp. The view can't help but to be drawn in. I just have one small issues with it. The menu screen could have been so much better. It was just the Star Trek symbol, and then it looked liked you are in warp drive in space, going around the symbol. I think that they really dropped the ball on this one. They could have done so much for the menu screen. They could have had the new Enterprise, the Borg, Data, the Queen Borg, the Borg Ship, anything. Anything would be better than nothing, and I feel that's what they have for the menu.
Overall if you have a blu ray and you like shape images, and sharp impressive sound, then you need to get Star Trek: First Contact!
