Customer Reviews
It's Blu-ray lite....
Wow a 3 pack of blu-ray for a little over twenty bucks. What a
deal...right? Hold on the picture quality doesn't seem to be very good.
What's this? Video is AVC 16Mbps ??? What does that mean? Let me
see my Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur Blu-ray. Hmmm, Video is AVC 32Mbps.
Well that's no good. I don't know why they did this but these 3 pack
blu-ray aren't the same as the normal blu-ray. Tho they come in
individual blu-ray cases. They are the watered down version. They
don't come with digital copy and they are only half of the normal
resolution. The sound is DTS-HD and they do contain the normal amount
of secondary audio. Only thing that made me mad is if I had wanted a
watered down version I would have stayed with my upconverted DVD version
which is basically what this is.
Great Value, Great Product
Don't let the poor reviews fool you. Many of them present distorted
facts about inferior quality because of reasons X or Y; when the
reasons presented are don't even affect quality of video.
The Ice Age titles offered in this box are the same as the ones in
the individual releases, yet often this box is much cheaper than the
individuals. I purchased this when it was $30 for the box set, so to me
that is good value; if you can get it for similar or less then that is
great!
As far as the movies, watching the Ice Age trilogy in order you can
clearly see the progression in animation technologies (I watched 1-3
with a few days of each other). However, that doesn't mean that the
blu-ray release is a bad one or that you should buy DVDs. I believe each
of the movies in this box set offers a significant video and audio
upgrade from the DVD versions of the same movie.
I ended up keeping Alvin and the Chipmunks despite not having that
intention because I ended up watching it more than once with my nephews,
who both loved the movie.
I recommend purchasing this box set if you are interested in two out of three of these movies or you are willing to re-sell the movies in the set you don't want, it has been and should continue to be the cheapest way to purchase these movies until alternate box sets become available (such as a true Ice Trilogy set).
