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. 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 polarization of opinions concerning director M. This is a good movie, and a good disc; just arguably not a must-buy if you own the dvd. Incorporating all the extras from the DVD, Signs on Blu-ray eclipses its legacy counterpart. The video, while not the best example of what Blu-ray can do, is a faithful representation of the source material.

Movie: 5 stars. Audio Quality: 4 stars. Video Quality: 3 stars. Extras: 2 stars

Mainly because when I am shopping for Blu-Rays, I already have a pretty good opinion in mind about the movie itself. The audio was crisp. Right now, I am focusing more on the Blu-Ray audio/video quality with some mention about the movie. As such, I really won't provide much of a movie review. I would say that this is at least a good movie that is entertaining and suspenseful. One review for the Blu-Ray and quality of the audio/video transfer, and another review for the movie itself. I actually was quite impressed with the audio and video quality of this Blu-Ray.

I consider this Blu-Ray an excellent edition to my collection. I will simply state that this is a suspenseful movie with good acting. I am more interested in the quality of the audio/video transfer before I fork out the increased dollars to purchase a Blu-Ray over a standard def DVD. My guess is that is by design as it matches the mood of the movie.

I would then rate the audio/video quality of this Blu-Ray an A. To say it another way, I'd give the movie itself a B. Would I say that this movie is perfect.

When reviewing Blu-Ray movies, I almost feel like two reviews are needed. This Blu-Ray transfer appeared to be very clean. The good movie combined with the excellent quality of the Blu-Ray result in my rating this Blu-Ray movie 5 stars. As an earlier reviewer accurately described, this movie does not leap off the screen with bright colors. No, not at all.

The picture did not appear to have any distortions nor artifacts that I could detect. That alone made it a joy to watch. To me, the audio further enhanced viewing of this film. The sharp and clean rendering of these dark colors was downright impressive in my opinion. Throw in that Signs is a pretty good suspenseful movie anyways, and the result is a 5 star rating for this Blu-Ray. As I mentioned above, my assumption is that most who are looking for Blu-Rays in the near future are likely video and audiophiles who already have an idea about the movies that they are interested in purchasing.

The impressive nature of this Blu-Ray is in it's depiction of it's darker colors and blacks. So, here it goes. All in all, I think that the audio added to the movie. The crisp sounds coming through in the surround system added to the suspense and aided in some of those startle moments. Some "darker" themes are explored that add at least a little depth to this movie.

M. 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. Night is a love 'em or hate 'em director, personally I love him. The audio fx alone in this movie is worth the price of admission.
