Customer Rating: Summary: Blu Ray - good quality Comment: I bought the blu ray format and I must say that eventhough this movie was made more than 20 years ago, the blu ray produced higher resolution video. What a deal, for less than 12 bucks, my family and I got to watch this old movie in high def. Customer Rating: Summary: Horrible excuse for a hi-def picture Comment: First of all, THIS is supposed to be a PG rated film? I wouldn't be surprised if any kids that saw this film picked up a few cuss words they had not been exposed to before. The movie itself is not bad at all. I remember seeing it as a child and loving it, but the picture is just horrible. 1080i not 1080p and there's lots of distortion and artifacts throughout the entirety of the flick. It was like watching a VHS tape on my 1080p flat screen. The film is worth watching. Its a very touching story. But get the DVD. This Blu-ray is very poorly produced. Customer Rating: Summary: Buy this! Comment: My personal favorite of the two Short Circuit movies. Steve Guttenberg! Number 5! More input! Classic 80's cheese right here. And don't forget the guy who played the Captain in Police Academy as a bad military officer. I highly suggest this movie, and I believe the Blu-Ray versaion is less than $10 on Amazon. Go get it! Customer Rating: Summary: Blu Ray Review - Not Bad!!! Comment: Great movie for the family. Would have been nicer not to have a few "colorful" words in it but overall a good family flik. But most folks already knew that.
What I'm quite impressed about is the BluRay transfer. Not bad at all! For a movie of this age the picture is very sharp. I've seen more recent movies that aren't this sharp.
To me, the BluRay version is definitely worth buying over the "regular" DVD and at current prices quite a bargain! Customer Rating: Summary: Short Circuit - Blu-ray Info Comment: Version: U.S.A / Region-A
