BTW, avoid the Blu-ray version of The Fifth Element; to quote: “… quite simply ‘The Fifth Element’ is just not the best HD I’ve seen, either compared to HD DVD or even over-the-air HD broadcasts. ‘The Fifth Element’ can’t even compare to the best Blu-ray itself has to offer, because I did briefly sample a few other titles prior to sitting down with this one, and all appeared to deliver superior video quality even at a mere glance” ~ Peter M. Bracke, High-Def Digest. Likewise, “Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This is a great demo to show how bad Blu-ray can look” ~ Geoffrey Morrison, Home Theater Magazine.
