New to Blu: April 4-10 > Movies

Real Steel appears to be the real deal for HD.

“Fans of Real Steel will love the nearly flawless 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode and its wide 2.35:1 aspect ratio.”

“No matter how close you get to your television, the 2.40:1 transfer remains sharp, immaculate, vibrant, and detailed.”

“The DTS-HD MA 7.1 native audio track is full and enveloping. You will experience quite the immersion factor when playing back this disc.

“The surround back channels go beyond the normal bleed of music score, and contain discrete sound effects. Panning and directionality is top notch.”

Going direct-to-disc are My Kingdom, Judy Moody & the Not Bummer Summer and the Lion King sequels while coinciding with the theatrical release of American Pie: Reunion are the first three movies in the franchise (which can be boughtly separately or as a boxed trilogy).

Another back-catalogue release is the 1979 dramatisation of The Who’s concept album, Quadrophrenia, while new music Blu-rays include  AC/DC: Let There Be Rock – Limited Collector’s Edition and Phil Collins is Live at Montreux 2004.
