Well, they are giving a taste of the stuff in cinemas. I got the news from a Japanese fellow Takeshi fan, they are very excited about it.
As someone who relies on ehem, non conventional streaming and local cable, I do appreciate the crisp quality of blu ray or even decent DVD. You can’t appreciate details or colors or enjoy landscapes and scenes the proper way on a computer or -gasp- a cellphone. But what’s necessary is necessary if you at least wanna keep up with stuff that has not arrived in Taiwan yet. cough, Supernatural ending, Wanda vision, etc. cough cough
However, it saddens my heart as I would gladly pay for the good stuff.
Why do Netflix and HBO Go provide such poor video quality. Could they not at least have HD since we pay for it ?
It’s annoying to have a big shiny screen but not high resolution content for it.
Don’t they? Usually when I watch Netflix it seems HD. Certainly better than DVDs; when I watch older non-HD content (e.g. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), there’s a giant drop in quality.
It seems like not up to HD quality for a lot of shows. I do have a big TV now, 58 inch.
When I rent movies from Google movies etc or when I deliberately look for HD on Youtube is the only time I feel it’s truly HD.
Prime on my computer looks like the best viewing option for me for a while, I noticed they had a bunch of the ‘Mission:Impossible’ movies and my inner monologue stumbled with the plural. What say you, Formosans?
Never been a big fan of the TV show or movie series. The fourth one was entertaining though, mostly for the very physical stunt work on the side of the Burj Khalifa (did I butcher the spelling?). But I couldn’t tell you a thing about the plot.
Wow, caught this in the cinema two years ago, surprised that anyone else would have seen it. The best film on the Soviet Vietnam, so many precise details (the fact that Putin & co hated it as opposed to the recent batch of feel-good Russian ww2 films says it all). And properly nasty war-is-hell action as well, those sound effects of people gasping for air are something else.
Netflix selection in Taiwan is way better than in Canada. Way, way better.
I’m watching the Thin Red Line. I’ve seen it before, one of my favourite war movies. Hauntingly beautiful, personal, the cast is incredible (everyone is in this movie). About island warfare in the Pacific theatre, so also timely.
One of the better movies I’ve seen during lockdown. Give this movie a try, the trailer looks trash but the story is well written. Well worth watching it. Really well done with a low budget.
