Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of April 20

Remember how I had trouble getting inspired to pick up one of last weeks new Blu-ray releases? Well, let me tell you, that’s so far from being an issue this week. There’s actually just way, way too many quality discs coming out over the next few days, from a couple of new Criterion releases, an Oscar winner and the biggest box office blockbuster of 2009.

[VIDEO] Avatar Blu-ray Trailer

I’ve got to admit, this trailer for Fox’s upcoming Avatar Blu-ray makes the release look pretty tasty. Is it just me or have they bumped up the saturation here? It’s all a lot more vivid and … blue than I recall it looking in the cinema. Perhaps the Imax 3D glasses I was wearing dulled the image down sufficiently to sap some of the blue from the alien skin. Anyway, I’m now sold on this Avatar Blu-ray. Even though this edition will only be in 2D I have a feeling these visuals are going to be pretty spectacular on Blu-ray. We only have to wait until Earth Day, April 22nd to find out for sure. …Continued…

James Cameron's Avatar Blu-ray Preview, Release date

While the two topics seem to be intrinsically attached, I’m going to try to focus on Avatar alone today. I’ve got so much to say about this whole 3D-in-the-home business that I think it warrants its own article. …Continued…

IMAX: Dinosaurs Alive! Blu-ray Disc Review

Who doesn’t love a giant IMAX film? One of the thrills of hitting up a museum or science centre is often getting the opportunity to chill out, after a day of exploring old bones and ancient pottery, by relaxing into a soft IMAX theatre chair and enjoying a big-screen science-related documentary. Dinosaurs Alive!, one such film, is now on Blu-ray disc and, while heavier on the paleontology than CGI thunder-lizards, will most likely not disappoint the young dino-enthusiast in the family. …Continued…
