High Definition(Bluray) Video Quality

Well after watching this pretty old flick on Bluray I must say I was impressed.  The picture quality is very clear, very life like and the colors are very good. The reds and very red, picture detail is amazing and the audio isn’t bad either!  I really couldn’t get over the detail of the character’s hair and faces.  I’ve watched plenty of Bluray and HD DVDs thus far and was really wasn’t expecting much with Dawn of the Dead because of it’s age, but damn, it passes with flying colors... mainly blood red!!!  I also popped in the Ultimate DVD edition of the movie I had and there was no comparison in picture quality between the Standard DVD and the Bluray Disc. Bluray was a huge improvement.  Night and day difference.

Movie Review

Dawn of the Dead is a classic. Such a great movie with a message. It’s not just about zombies, but about racism, greed and human behavior.  From the ‘slum’ type attack opening, to the zombies wandering in the mall to the main characters getting a little too comfy with their safety and wealth, it really sums up humanity very well.  We’re not very nice people.

I really couldn’t help but think of Walmart when watching this movie again.  The people I see there when I go remind me so much of George Romero’s zombies.  It’s kind of scary! We all go there, walk around, usually have fat annoying bitches run into you or block the isles... and so on! 

If you haven’t seen the original Dawn of the Dead, get it now! It’s easily the best Zombie flick ever made and is extremely smart as a movie.
