Customer Reviews

Good movie. Good disc.
The polarization of opinions concerning director M. Night Shyamalan should not keep you from giving this Blu-ray a chance. I won't argue that this movie is the finest Shyamalan has to offer, but I will tell you that for its fans and those who enjoy a well-crafted thriller Signs is a good Blu-ray disc. Incorporating all the extras from the DVD, Signs on Blu-ray eclipses its legacy counterpart. Those who can make use of its uncompressed PCM audio track will enjoy a step up from the Dolby Digital of the standard definition disc. The video, while not the best example of what Blu-ray can do, is a faithful representation of the source material. This is a good movie, and a good disc; just arguably not a must-buy if you own the dvd.

One of my favorites transfers well onto Blu-ray
I've loved signs since I first saw it. I thought the story and its characters were astonishing and completely real. Yes, the story was real. Well, maybe not the alien part of it, but the events surrounding the invasion were so real. M. Night certainly told a fascinating story here.

Good news is that the Blu-ray picture quality is a big upgrade from the standard version. Sure, it's not Speed Racer quality, but for what the movie is, the picture meets my expectations (better transfer to Blu-ray than Unbreakable). If you are thinking about getting this Blu-ray but you have been concerned about the picture quality, don't worry, it looks just fine.

When it comes down to it, you have to like the film to make the purchase. I personally found it fascinating. That paired with the good Blu-ray transfer makes it a good buy.

Best audio demo for your Blu-Ray/DVD system
M. Night is a love 'em or hate 'em director, personally I love him. At least he attempts to break out of the doldrums of your a-typical alien invasion movie with this masterpiece focused on the faith and inner turmoil of one specific family during this disastrous event. The audio fx alone in this movie is worth the price of admission.
