Top Notch Video, Awesome Audio, Another Great Blu Release.

2008-03-29
Over the last month or so, I have been very, very impressed with the latest releases from Blu-Ray. This title is no exception. Super clean picture, awesome sound, and an overall fun movie.

First off, this title was viewed on a Sony XBR4 monitor. Calibrated with the Digital Video Essentials disk. Playback acheived with a Sony PS3, using Monster HDMI cables. A Sony DG910 receiver was used for audio. Axiom speakers were used in 5.1 sound.

So, with that said. This title is " reference quality ". Picture is super clean and sharp. Looks straight from the source. Couldn't do much better. The colors are crisp and clean. Very vibrant. Though there are not many dark scenes, the blacks hold very, very well. There are no flaws to the transfer itself. As clean as it get's. It has a very 3 dimentional look to it. Ratatouille, Cars, Meet The Robinsons and The Simpsons all have the same flawless transfer. If you like these type of movies, and want to see what your High Def system can do, this will surely please anyone. Picture and sound that is.

The sound is Awesome. You will here even the most subtle details. All voices are clean and crisp. When your subwoofer kicks in, you will know it! Awesome low's, mid's and high's. I would have to say that this is a title that will truely show of your audio system. My system is by no means a Top End Audiophile setup. But, it really shows off all soundfields very well. One of the best 5.1 audio tracks I have ever heard.

As far as the movie goes.....let's just say that if you love Pixar or Dreamworks animation type flicks, this is a fun, enjoyable movie. With or without kids. I highly recommend this title. Cant ask for much more!

Ice age, not so cool edition

2008-07-22
If you have the super cool edition on DVD and a good upconversion DVD player, keep it. Picture quality not worth the upgrade. The movie itself is great. Very funny/entertaining.

Funniest movie ever.

2008-06-10
Kids and adults can both enjoy this movie. So many levels of entertainment. And Scrat is just the best. So funny.

Lo-res original, does not do justice to BluRay's capabilities

2008-06-09
This movie is reasonably old and it shows. It is very low res when compared to newer, better computer graphics movies, like Ice Age The Meltdown and Rattatouille.
It shows very much like the standard DVD, without any of the high resolution features you expect from a Blu-Ray movie. You can't see the details of the hairs in Mannie (The Mamoth), Diego (the Tiger) or Sid (the Sloth).
A bit disappointing in the graphics point of view.
Of course, the movie is great. Buy the standard DVD version, same quality.

The movie is good by itself

2008-06-03
The movie is already good by itself, but with a bluray quality it is perfect. Excelent for kids and adults.

slick as ICE

2008-04-04
ICE AGE looks and sounds fantastic on Blu-ray. I just wish that Fox would have ported over ALL the supplemental material that was on the 2 disc DVD edition. Otherwise, a great addition to your library.
